This weekend, I finished up my RE2 Remake Claire playthrough and started Leon's 2nd Run.
I also started RE3 Remake this evening.
So anyway, although two of my criticisms of Murder on the Orient express are valid, one point is kind of.... debatable.
I think the game early in is trying to coax you into thinking like Hecule Quirot. There's an early part where you have to recall the earring a woman was wearing, though the game never pauses and takes you to a tutorial, nor does it highlight the earring in any particular way during a cutscene.
It's saying to the player to think like Quirot, there's a later section, actually a fee sections where you do literally sit and observe your environment. So it's saying that things that normal people would treat ad inconsequential, Quirot would take mental notes of these things and would be able to recall them from memory when required. It's quite clever, but also not great if you're playing half asleep like me much of the time.
Anyhow, they seem to have updated the story as far as I can tell with modern game settings. You play as a female American Detective in am Alan Wake style setting (without the supernatural) to crack a kidnapping case. It's pretty good, though it's always a welcome return to be back on the train.
My import physical copy of the Ace Attorney Trilogy arrived.
I have put off buying these games for literally years. I was attached to the games the way I first played them. The pixel art in particular. I was aware of an old iPhone conversion years ago people complained about.
I was of the impression that, that is how the Switch port was made/converted from.
I had no idea how high quality this Remake would be.
The art is super high res quality, nice and clean and chunky and true to the original art. The music appears to be updated/new and sounds much higher quality.
It looks fantastic on an OLED panel, as 2D games often do (the title screen of Mario wonder is a thing to behold.
But I love how now I can share the experience with other people. Where playing on the DS was a solo experience. You can out this on the TV and have the whole family participate in it.
Understandable but Oof:
I think they changed a few things in the actual scripting of the Ace Attorney Trilogy. To add depth or to add a few curveball?
I've played through 1-3 twice on DS. So I think I'd remember some stuff.
You are doing better than me then!
What I remeber about Phoenix Wright (I think I played 5 of them).
There is an attorney named Phoenix Wright who yells objection. And there is a clown in one of them, and a girl with a magical pearlshell necklace. And some weirdo characters. And at some point one of the protagonists starts wearing a VR helmet-like thing on his head, I think because he's angry.
That's then end of my book report.
The two Golden Sun games are now available on Nintendo Online.
Aren't they only included in the more expensive subscription?
I have fond memories of Golden Sun. I remember not completing it though, although I can't remember if I didn't complete the first game, or if I made it to the second game.
I think its the plus, more expensive version. I never completed the first one either and am not really sure why since I was living alone at the time with very little money.
I had both Golden Sun games. Still regret selling the first. Did not enjoy the sequel.as.much.
The Switch version also has touchscreen controls. Capcom's pretty good at using things like gyro and touch on Switch.
Anyhow, it's not the major plot points that are the draw for me, although those moments are great. I equally enjoy the off the wall sense of humour and unique scenarios. The characters are excellent too.
BTW, how do you guys feel about remasters with older games with a lot of text? Often ill play remakes and think, the one thing that could make a huge enhancement to older games is having full voice acting. People could turn it off if they preffered.
I never played any of the Golden Sun games. Would like to check them out though.
Same for me. I am selling a boxed copy of Golden Sun on Ebay right now for under market and no-one has any interest in it, maybe this will stir some. At the time it was amazing to be playing a PRG with those graphics on the newly released GBA.
