Look at me fail at writing an essay on how I will positively impact the WORLD by going to this ONE COLLEGE. Especially since my mom insists I get help from my siblings. But she doesn't understand I find that degrading, so she is not at fault. Besides, I already did. They're not that helpful. Still. I am going to keep musing.
Now I haven't played all of the PL games, or read all of the Holmes or Lupin or even Kaito stories or played Umineko (and no one knows how it'll end) or read all of its manga, my understanding of P4 and Devil Summoner is based entirely on the few chunks I saw while my sister was playing, I only vaguely know the second Trace Memory's plot, we are all waiting for Hotel Dusk 2, I have only read Suiri no Kizuna of Spiral, had a cursory glance over Knox's and people's opinions and another set of rules as to what mysteries should be, so I am obviously missing a lot of info here.
But We're going to rant and act like We know things.
The point:
It looks like I really like BAD mysteries. I'm serious, too.
SPOILER WARNING:
Skip this paragraph if you want to start off with a clean slate before jumping into the world of Layton. This paragraph doesn't have any plot spoilers. This is a vague outline of how I see the Layton games, which could give away what one would expect from the game.( Read more... )SPOILER WARNING:
There are Sherlock Holmes spoilers here. But I don't say which story, so read at your own risk.( Read more... )SPOILER WARNING: This time Magic Kaito and some of his appearances in the Conan manga/anime, and Arsene Lupin, whom he was based on. These are mostly hints as to how they've pulled off their heists, and again, no telling which story is which.( Read more... )SPOILER WARNING: Short Spiral Suiri no Kizuna dump here. No spoilers, just pointing out the BAD MYSTERY aspects of it.( Read more... )SPOILER WARNING: Does this end? Anyway, here we go to the Ace Attorney games, Trace Memory, touch on Hotel Dusk, P4 and the newer Devil Summoners and some Umineko! All four. No big spoilers since I don't say which game or which case (for AA) or who does it but just certain techniques that the game employs.
( Read more... )...this is too disorganized and windbaggy to be called an essay, and too long to hold anyone's attention the whole way, I'd wager. I wrote this mainly because I am crossing over many fandoms (not books, unfortunately, though they'll help) into a biig mystery mashup to ensure plenty of chaos and logic NOT applying while applying at the same time! So it gets me rolling and thinking about it. It really will be chaotic, especially since these bad mysteries each have different rules I'll have to follow. In addition to that, the 1930s AU I'm still working on is a mystery (also a bad mystery according to those rules--I agree with some not all, in case you were wondering), but the player is expected to take the clues and figure things out. Aaaand beat people up in the way, and maybe puzzles, if it isn't too overstuffed by then. It'll be fun.
Longest line of tags I've ever seen.
