Professor Layton

PLvsAA and Miracle Mask made me tear up a little bit.

unwound future turned my eyes to fuckin niagara falls

The only game I didn't cry at was Miracle Mask, actually.

You have no heart

You have no heart

I mean, it was touching, but I didn't cry. Mostly because something about the ending bothered me

Spoiler

I felt like Layton got completely shafted at the end, I know Henry and Angela had much importance to Randall, and it was more focused on them, but Layton shared the burden of all that trauma for years and never got to come to terms with it I felt like? If he and Randall had more a meaningful reunion in the end I might have cried...

truuuue okay I feel that but

Spoiler

When you realize that the game isn't about Layton and Randall as much as it is Henry and Randall then the game becomes so much more beautiful. We have this tendency to put layton and the center of everything because he's the protag, but it was actually Henry's reunion with Randall that got me to cry. And interestingly that's the only game of the series that makes me cry every time I play it.

I'll give the game that, but I dunno, I feel like Layton still burdens a lot of guilt that needs to be nullified... I guess I just feel bad for how shitty it made his life for a while that it needed some closure.

Sigh...my brain is exhausted.

Never before has a Layton game made me do THAT. Ever. I hope you enjoyed that. I know I did.

Say what you want, Slow, but this is my absolute favorite of the Professor Layton Franchise.

[SlowPokemon]

Oh I adored the game. Blueflower is the one who didn't care for it. In regard to the spoilers you're talking about:

Spoiler

I HAVE BEEN GUESSING MASS HYPNOSIS AS THE SOLUTION FOR EVERY GAME SINCE DIABOLICAL BOX AND THEY DID IT THEY FINALLY DID I WILL BE ABSOLUTELY FINE IF THEY NEVER MAKE ANY MORE GAMES BECAUSE THEY FINALLY DID MASS HYPNOSIS.

[close]

And yeah it's like the game that just won't quit, it just keeps throwing curveballs and keeps going on long after you thought it would end xD Prepare yourself, because the second part of the epilogue is even better than the first part and it might be the first Layton game to make you tear up.
