Left hand on WASD for motion/space for jump --- right hand for mouse (camera controls/weapon). Makes enough sense to me. With the arrow keys, you need your right hand on the arrow keys, left hand on the spacebar/ctrl/shift for jumping and shooting, and a third hand for the camera controls. Yep, makes perfect sense. Of course, this is unpopular video game opinions, so seeing these here makes perfect sense, actually. |

Everytime I play a game my hands go straight for the arrow keys and not the WASD keys because I used the arrow keys a lot when I was little and I guess I kept remembering that instead of learning the WASD keys properly. That explains why I suck so hard at Minecraft Parkour. |

SA2, however, just has such trash level design. Nothing goes right. The game just doesn't flow like the first one does. |

I actually really like Midtown Madness 2 in terms of graphics over the original. It's very simplistic,which is great IMO. Also,MM3 looks horrible to me. I cannot get invested in racing games with a story,especially if they're unneeded. Hell,the whole delivering pizzas thing is really boring and stupid! Also,the graphics are too good,IMO. Yeah,I know,it might be strange,but I don't like too good looking graphics very much,especially if the game sucks in comparison. does anyone even know what midtown madness is...? |

1-5 is probably the most overrated case in the entire series It's not BAD per se but it tried way too hard to be over-the-top epic and didn't try nearly hard enough to avoid MASSIVE, MASSIVE plotholes (Meekins' testimony, Lana's motivation for what she did, THE FUCKING JAR, etc.) Plus it pretty much negated Edgeworth's off-screen character development between 1-4 and 2-4, and made Phoenix look like a huge, petty baby (wouldn't take any cases because he was sad about Maya going home, throwing a fit about Edgeworth disappearing in JfA after the shit Edgey went through in 1-5, and so on) I will say I liked Gant and Jake though, and Angel is hot even if her character felt a little bland After replaying JfA recently, I can say it's definitely not as bad as I remember it 2-1 is pretty dumb but Wellington was funny and a pleasure to take down 2-2 is really good even considering I knew what the twist would be the second I got the license photo 2-3 is...okay, it has some funny moments, I think the worst part for me by far is the obnoxious music you have to deal with for the whole investigation 2-4 is still one of the best cases in the series, although looking back I kind of wish they were a little more subtle with the whole Spoiler: |

@Franzise I agree with most of what you said. I think Meekins is annoying as hell. I forgot to mention him. I still think Gant sucks. He is the kind of character that brings an immediate feeling of boredom to me. Can't even read his dialogues sometimes... cross-examining him was a pain. Hate that wannabe grandpa fake personality. Jake and Angel are okay. The end of the case is insanely repetitive. 2-4 is repetitive too, but you know, the case is very good and thrilling for the most part, especially from the beginning to the middle, so I can excuse its redundant parts. 2-1 is dumb, yup, but not any more dumb than 1-1 is IMO. @dullahan1 She is one of the reasons I like it lol. Not my favorite character, but I like her a lot. That said, I admit I tend to like difficult/hardass characters

Why didn't Cat ever bring this up? Franzise Deauxnim wrote: The biggest problem with the argument that Lana could make out "Ema" on the remaining jar shards is, uh, that if she put the pieces together like that, she would have KNOWN there was at least one missing piece. Lana said she was sure she collected all the pieces. And no, she wasn't lying about that, there's literally no reason for her to do that and she's genuinely surprised when she finds out Gant had the missing piece in his safe. On a related note, she didn't seem to be aware of the missing piece of Neil's vest, either (though you'd think the gaping hole in it would be a dead giveaway). So...if she didn't know Gant was hiding "evidence" about Ema's "crime", how exactly was he blackmailing her? Even without the shards or the cloth, Gant could still bring up the initial autopsy report. "But... in the initial autopsy report, a question was raised. The blade of the knife was not a perfect match with the wound the victim sustained. It means there is a good chance that knife was not the murder weapon. However, in the report that was finally submitted, that possibility had been erased." All he would need to do is order the case to be reopened, "deduce" the real murder weapon from the shape of the wound, use that as a basis to call Ema in for questioning, and have her "remember" the murder... kinda like what Phoenix does in-game. Quote: Back to the jar, the picture Ema drew was exactly what she saw at the moment the lighting flashed. Putting aside the likelihood that Neil hitting the mantle could knock the jar that far into the air, there's no possible way Ema could have seen the jar in the air then since Neil and Darke were still fighting at that time. And yes, it's all one scene, Ema testified that both halves of the paper were part of the same drawing No, it wasn't all one scene. "I think I... I knocked away the man with the knife. Just then there was another flash of lightning, and that's when I saw... the Blue Badger!" At the time she drew it, Ema wouldn't have had any idea what to make of a jester-shaped silhouette that showed up in lightning next to a murder scene. Drawing it where she did was probably just a shot in the dark. |

It never was, it never will be and anyone who actually thought that would work is a moron, frankly put. Pearl right off said it detects SECRETS in a person's heart; not lies. The reason for keeping a secret could be anything. Besides, Engarde considered himself innocent of murder, so - for him - he was not telling a lie; so even IF the Magatama was a lie detector, it would not have worked. And nothing about that fucking Jar makes sense. Okay, so, let's just assume that it did fly into the air once and landed on the ground, without breaking. Okay... so, how did Ema's name get written there by the victim? He was skewered onto a lance from the statue. Clearly, he must have been alive for at least a minute, to write the name. But he was skewered and the Jar was on the floor. Are we honestly to assume that the victim got himself OFF the lance, on his own, picked the Jar up from the floor, wrote Ema on it, crashed it and then proceeded to put himself perfectly back onto the lance, before dying? Of course we are, this is the game series where Karma's stupid idea of Edgey shooting with one hand, wiping the gun and proceeding to hold it in the other hand, to mess with the fingerprints, was actually considered a non-mentioned-how-fucking-stupid-are-you moment. Also, Gant all but admitted to blackmailing Lana in court, in front of everyone, but it was ignored. (And yes, her actions make NO sense - if you don't want me to investigate the murder you are trying to hide, STOP giving me evidence!) C-A |

We know Gant wrote the "dying message," but the whole point of a dying message is that it's supposed to be possible for the victim to write it. If it's incredibly obvious that the victim couldn't have written the message, it makes the message's existence horribly suspicious. |

Exactly what TheDoctor said. It was so abundantly OBVIOUS that the victim had no possible way to actually write the name onto the jar. With Mia supposedly writing Maya on the receipt, that made sense, because the receipt was close to her corpse and in a way that she could have done it; as pointed out above, Neil was in a position where it would make no sense.

If you mean in-court, I'm not going to argue against that. They should have pointed it out much sooner than they did. But if you're assuming that Lana knew when the jar broke during the investigation, she didn't. As far as she could tell, the jar broke after Neil wrote the message. Quote: Also, Gant all but admitted to blackmailing Lana in court, in front of everyone, but it was ignored. Two and a half years ago, I wrote: All he did was say that agreeing to Wright's theory would mean that Ema would be found guilty. Which is exactly what Wright's theory says. Had he said any new information previously not known to the court, then his outburst would had to have been acknowledged.

But if you're assuming that Lana knew when the jar broke during the investigation, she didn't. As far as she could tell, the jar broke after Neil wrote the message. Which, again, makes no sense. The Jar was not within reach of the statue; Neil could still not have gotten to it to write in his own blood. And no victim that would write a dying message would want to destroy the object they write it on, making it potentially difficulty to notice the message. Quote: Yes, God forbid someone be conflicted between revealing the truth and protecting her family. If she already felt like the truth meant Ema was not guilty, then WHY did she seem so convinced that Ema WAS guilty, when she first entered the scene? The only thing indicating Ema did anything was the stupid Jar, which was broken, so there's no clear way to immediately tell that it did say Ema on it. She said herself, it was dark when she entered. Also, the picture she took of Neil while hanging there: again, if she did honestly think Ema was guilty, why was she taking pictures of the crime that she thinks her sister committed? It makes NO sense. It's a badly written case; worse than 2-3. C-A |

I'd think Gant would have a very hard time breaching that subject without implicating himself in the coverup, and it's still mainly his word against Lana's. It just feels like a weak reason to forge evidence for someone for two years and act as an accomplice to murder, especially since even a cursory examination of Neil's murder would show something was fishy (you could argue Lana was too out of sorts at the time to think logically, but she had two years to go over it in her head, and she was at least level-headed enough to take a photo of Neil's body and hide it.) I guess this is getting into more of a complaint about Lana at this point, but as someone who was specifically designed to be Mia's counterpart, Lana was pretty disappointingly stupid. Quote: Quote: Back to the jar, the picture Ema drew was exactly what she saw at the moment the lighting flashed.

Drawing it where she did was probably just a shot in the dark. See, I'd be more willing to accept this if Ema herself made it very clear (and Phoenix himself confirmed it) that the picture she drew was exactly the scene she remembered. She said it was "burned into (her) memory" (which was critical for even proving the broken knife contradiction) and then said the evidence list wasn't originally separated when she drew the picture. On top of that, look at the picture itself:  See those black parts on the right-hand section of the drawing? Ema sketched the outline of the window in the office. If the fight and the jar Ema drew were meant to be from two separate events, the game did a piss-poor job of conveying that. -edit- Something else I remembered: If the two parts of Ema's drawing were actually meant to be from two different times, why would she draw them like that? First there was the struggle between Neil and Darke, then there was the flying jar. Wouldn't she draw the fight at the top of the paper and the jar at the bottom in that case? |
