Preview - Let's Play Professor Layton and the Curious Village

[77katsumoto]

Since you didn't finish FE or FF8, I suppose the "voting" is still on. Therefore, I vote for both screens, visible mouse, no squishing and (OF COURSE) voice acting.

This is the first time I am not late for the voting (unless you started the LP, stopped it and erased the episodes).

[MarioLuigi4567890]

Well my favorite type of LP is RPG LPs, everybody has a differant preferance which is why there is no bad idea fo Let's plays, they are only the viewers opinions and that is all they ever will be.

[MarioLuigi4567890]

Your an insult to the name of Let's play, now some people don't like certain types of games, I understand this, but you cannot just say the LP will be bad because its a puzzle game, because even if the puzzle is spoiled for them its there own damn fault for watching the let's play, they should expect spoilers if watching it and this is where I bring the "you dont have to watch it" responce, it is your own fault if you are spoiled because you watch it, not the LPer, YOU!

[MrRaui]

You aren't paying money to watch these videos nor is anyone forcing you to watch them. Not to mention McGammar's video description said "I'm considering doing this game". So there's a chance he WON'T do LP this game. So just chill out man.

[MsWereSquirrel]

I'm not surprised that you can't respond to substantive criticism of your "point". You're all bombast and arrogance, and no thought. Typical.

Anyway, child, you don't get to declare what a LP is. That is bigger than you. We will LP, and watch LPs of, whatever games we choose. If you don't like that, tough.

If you don't like someone LPing this game, then don't watch the vids. It is that simple.

Or, you can continue trolling like the conceited little brat you are.

[PaintMirage]

9:11, Yay for barely child friendly puzzles!

[wolfos]

Your point dosn't make sense if you simple STOP WATCHING. It dosn't take someone with a high IQ to work out that if you simple stopped watching to stop ruining it for yourself, your argument falls flat!. Also, the idea of LPing a puzzle game has been done MANY times before. Go watch DCrabs stuff, a large chunk of his LP's are indie games with one way to play, thats ruining it but people watch becouse they WANT to watch. If they didn't, they wouldn't. Not hard.

[FlloydOwnsAll]

Everything looks good I think you should show your mouse it will help us know exactly what you are doing.

[FlloydOwnsAll]

I beat this game the other day I got the second one. THIS GAME IS AWESOME (in my opinion but...) WOOHOO! Bolt you are even MORE awesome (and that is hard to pull off)

[MsWereSquirrel]

Your "point", if you were being honest, could be applied to any game regardless of genre. A let's play of any game tells you how to play and how to win. What you're really saying is that you personally don't like watching LPs of this game.

Which leads to these questions. First, why are you here if you don't like watching this? Second, why should any of us care?

[marine5000]

both screens, mouse, no squish, and voices

[MsWereSquirrel]

Aw, keep working on FF8 instead, please?

[MsWereSquirrel]

Ah, sorry, for some reason all that extra info on the right didn't show up when I was here before.

I'm glad you're going to finish FF8 first.

[Crash2453636]

Bottom Screen Only

Keep Mouse

Don't Squish

Voices Yes

[raichudoggy]

I feel like most of the time people don't watch an LPer for just the game... Spoiling or not, If you don't want spoilers, get the game or don't watch. I really liked Proffesor Layton Titles for their Story & Gameplay in a great mix.

Its like saying not to LP Tetris... Which Deceased Crab did.

[clulesslady]

You should record both screens; no squishing. Yes, you should show the mouse, I think it's important. Voices are fine, I like them.

[alexlandsbergs]

I agree

[ti669]

its cool, do it.

voices and all, its your thing Bolt

dont squish and keep both screens

[Navar4477]

do it. it is different.

[MrRaui]

Boltage LPing a puzzle game?

How...curious!

[dmneoblade]

Mouse is good, I suggest using a different cursor, though. Like, a yellow dot or somesuch.

[lokimaa]

Keep Both Screens, the game is very pretty for a handheld game.

Keeping the mouse doesn't bother me, although I would prefer an alternative if it's possible.

Don't squish the screen, I like it the way it is.

I enjoy your voice acting very much, and would enjoy you keeping it in.

[mastershakeATHF1]

-both screens

-keep mouse

-don't squish

-your voice acting has brought the light of happiness and life into my soul, saving it from the dark depths of depression...yes please do voice acting.

[the16bitgamer150]

ive always wanted to see what this game would be like. GO MCGAMMAR! DO THOSW PUZZLES!

[octavio9089]

can't wait

[piay123]

hey im playing diabolical box now

[garlicncows]

Put FE as a game when other games are getting dull or you need something to fill (continue playing at will but don't upload for a while so when you can't do the others you can upload those already made videos) since it is probably the harder of the games it means you will be able to take a break for a pretty long time

Personally I like seeing both screens

the mouse amuses me keep it

don't squish it I can read it just fine

voicing is always good and I hope I see you use the one you used in gstla

[TacoKnightJayden]

Keep both screens,

mouse should keep around

no need for the squish

Dont even kid about not voicing ;-; such a horrid thought D:

[KirbyHiSays]

Everything you suggested for changes are a-okay.

For the mouse, maybe during cutscenes move them out of the recording area.

[Yarrum13]

Gosh, professor Layton is awsome, It's great you maybe doing an LP of it. Good choice ^_^

[zswords]

Oh wow... I thought thid game was some stupid mystery game... like who killed who and you have to find the clues... sorta like Phoenix Wright, but it's a riddler! I LOVE RIDDLES! I want this game... RIDDLES!

[mementofaith]

I say 'keep everything as is' as well, *especially* the voices. It's one of the best features of your LPs.

[cc12321]

a nice change compared to all the recent rpgs.

what is going in this video is good. keep it as it is.

[NoAsking]

Ah, this sounds like a nice change of pace after all the RPGs. Go for it.

Screen: Both is good.

Mouse: Keep it. It's not obstructive.

Squish: None, it looks good as is.

Voice: It wouldn't be you without voices, would it? Hahah!

[Dommy954]

Screen: Who cares? Keep them as it is. I can make out everything just fine.

Mouse:Keep it. It'd be strange just seeing objects floating in the air without anything there. Just keep it. It's nice.

Squish: I say no! Don't squish them! It'd look akward.

Voices: Voice acting is you! It's part of what made you (somewhat) famous here! Keep your style even in this puzzle-based Let's Play!

[lionheart99]

Screens: Both

Mouse: hmm...Keep it

Squish: It's fine the way it is.

Voice: Voice acting is your style...Do it!

Hmm, was hoping you do Phoenix Wright instead...but this is still awesome...

[Livingvapour]

this is really neat bolt

i say go for it

it looks fun

[NERDCruxMar]

I totally forgot to comment on what you asked for...

Screen: Keep both

Mouse: Keep as it will tell us what you're pointing at

Squish: NOOOO We can see it really well

Voice: A McGammar Let's Play W/o Voices?!! NOOOOOOOOO THE HORROR!!! (Keep!)

[CosmoMemory91]

I can't wait until you start this one, officially!

[ryeo998]

Yes on all accounts.

[ArmagideonTime]

Recording: I like both screens. I enjoy the full DS-perience!

The Mouse: Keep it. Even slight movements of the mouse kinda show how your mind is working and whatnot.

Squish: Keep the screen as-is. I have no issues with reading in full-screen.

Voices: Your voicing is one of the reasons I watch your videos! Do what you do best, man.

[metalhead666818]

Screens: Keep both, it doesn't really matter to me.

Mouse: The mouse is not bothering at all. You also need that mouse for yourself and find those coins :]

Squish: Nay. Keep it the way it is

Voice: It's a must, your voice acting is the reason why I subscribed...and also for your FE videos as well haha

[danjohnellis]

as you tube loads im reading the prof layton 2 preview...

what do i find in my subscription box?

[glitchfail]

Oh, that's a wonderful choice, definitely looking forward to seeing you play this. By the way, have you ever had the chance to try "Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland"?

[and1521]

I definitely think you should keep the mouse, but it might be useful to use a custom cursor that's smaller and less noticeable.

[Goldmax64]

I totally agree with Ironscorpy, you should do it like that. And yes, keep on voice-acting stuff, it`s so fitting, even the lady parts if there are any.....creepy that it fits, but meh, that`s just awesome. ^^

[IronScorpy]

Screens: Both its nice if you can read along.

The mouse: Show it, i don't really matter if its on screen during a cutscene.

Squish: Don't, the text is big enough you can easly read it.

Voices: Its one of the reasons i watch your lets play's so please (try to) do the voices!!

[Tiaramaki]

Hmm.... let's see...

Screens: Go ahead and do both. I think it's better for me to look at both, sometimes. :D

Mouse: I think you should show it. [insert Captain Falcon quote with a mouse variation here]

Squish: Naw. Keep it the way it is. I don't care if I have to look at fullscreen to read it; I can actually read it fine.

Voices: Do it! Cause no matter what others say about your voice acting, us fans love it. :D

I'm looking forward to this Let's Play, McGammar. Yay, problem solving!

[karry299]

I dont get all the hype around this game. Yeah, puzzles, yeah, clever, so ? There are sites out there with thousands of puzzles, should you want them. And if you want something portable - there are puzzle books !

Although i dont know, maybe USians never printed any puzzle books ever, but in my childhood i had 2 awesome volumes of various mathematical entertainment. Pretty much eternal fun for everyone pre-school and up, with just a pencil and a piece of paper.

[PosionCake]

These are wierd ass questions thats why theres so much hype

Fans of puzzels would LOVE this game

[lydilydidesu]

The reason this game is so good is that they made these puzzles work really well PLUS there's a story, that's where the hype comes from.

[RPGamer1]

I find "USians" funny, most people call United States citizens either Americans or Yankees/Yanks. Hooray for something new!

[ultrazeldafan]

Screens: i prefer to read along

Mouse: yes as its easy to ignore when necessary

Squish: Both as I watch in full screen anyway

Voices: if you show both screens, indifferent, while if you show only the bottom, yes

[Xirbtt]

It looks awesome. I like both screens recorded.

[Naayru]

Both screens, With Mouse Small screen and Voices :)

[Stichkl]

One thing, I think you should use a program called "No$Zoomer." I found it on a forum and it's great for No$GBA 2.6a. It gets rid of that bar in the middle and you're able to make the screen bigger and change the volume and various other things...

[McGammar]

That seems to crash this game for me, for whatever reason. Works fine with Megaman and Kirby, but not this.

[seanfulldark]

COOL

[Karalhix]

Screens: Both. I like to read with you. :d

Mouse: Show. Helps us keep track of what you're doing.

Squish: Noooo!!! I can see everything fine.

Voices: Yes. Self explanatory. :D

[RPGamer1]

Screens: Bottom only seems fine, you explain the puzzles anyway, so no real need to see the top.

Mouse: Keep the mouse, otherwise it may get confusing when coins pop out of nowhere XD

Squish: Wouldn't the change in dimensions make everyone look obese?

Voices: Do voicing if you want to, I'm indifferent.

[MrShinySides]

Since the top screen isn't used a lot i think it's the best to only record the bottom one (and, if it's possible to switch between certain views, only show the top screen when it's really necessary)

The mouse is pretty useful actually, to see where the coins are, and to have a better view on how to solve puzzles.

The text was big enough to read even with both screens showing.

And the voices, please, keep them!

They're much better than using the same voice for everything or just nothing at all.

[NERDCruxMar]

Interesting new Let's Play you're thinking of doing. I guess when you actually do this one, you're gonna show us the first few puzzles too eh?

[Bastiest]

I don't know but this game creeps the fuck out of me.

[Jamesisanerd]

Oh, now I AM looking forward to this LP. :3

But.. I don't mind the mouse cursor, it makes your movements easy to follow.

Your voices are fun. XD So I say keep those in.

As the top screen isn't used much.. I say leave it out for the most part, apart from when you get the puzzle explainations. Is it possible to put a still frame of the explaination to the puzzle next to the puzzle you're doing? The vertical layout is kinda small.

[CornshaqGaming]

This and its sequel are two of my favorite games to come out on the Nintendo DS I am really looking forward to the other ones whenever they finally get translated and brought over.

[lydilydidesu]

Just wait until the next two games are released in America. Not only that, but, they're coming out with a movie on new years in Japan :D

[CornshaqGaming]

Yeah I will be watching it as soon as it gets a fan sub.

[lydilydidesu]

Haha Same!
