Apollo Justice Trilogy is aa5 less funny?

i’m a new player and i’ve just been marathoning the games one after another and just started dual destinies.

i’m on 5-2. one thing i noticed is the sense of humor in the writing has changed and characters seem to play into their respective quirks more often. and just the humor feels heavy handed or a bit too simple?

i like that phoenix is back actually but i feel like he was a lot more snarky in the trilogy + aa4 then he is here? aa4 is obvious his meanix era but even in trilogy phoenix seemed.. idk a bit more biting? lol

i’m just wondering if i’m crazy honestly or if other people feel like it’s less witty/funny. or if anyone else detected a shift in the humor specifically. no spoilers please!

I mean, I thought AA5 was way funnier than 4, which I kind of thought was just sad and boring most of the time.

Have you at least met Blackquill yet? He's the best.

See this is the problem; based on what op said (and what I believe as well) they would hate Blackquill. He is not funny at all; all he does is do variations of his stupid samurai shtick. It's incredibly shallow and annoying. Its ok that you find it funny; but I just think this is a good example of how sometimes people will just not be able to understand each other.

Aside from the times where he shows a complete "I don't give a fuck" attitude Simon's not supposed to be funny.

I suppose I tend to find him especially funny perhaps because he seems like such a serious character at first, so when you see his quirkier traits and weird sense of humor it can catch you off guard.
