That's right, we're nearly almost done with the game and boy howdy, do things actually start getting hard now. I mean, it was a relative cake walk when all we had to worry about was Catherine. But now almost 80% of the hotel is being semi-constantly patrolled by people just waiting to chase after us and do us harm. Thankfully I understood ahead of time that this would be a sneaking mission and I manage to pull it off without a hitch.....yup, not a single hitch..... Also here is the horror show for both Clock Master and My son: Bonus 7: Clock Master and My Son's Horror Show And finally, I think I might have missed a horror show from Cactus Girl and a slightly different horror show if you're a female character with Cactus Gunman; does anyone care to see it. Cause otherwise I won't sweat the technique on that. I'm definitely not shooting for a 100% play through here cause loving hell that's dreadful and requires a lot of waiting around and grinding and bleh....that's no bueno. edit: It seems there's an item to get off Clock Master that I'll go back and get. Will show that off in the next video. discworld is all I read fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Dec 22, 2016 |

wowee zowie you're updating fast aren't you? Good to see that this game didnt' claim yet another LP career though! Interesting thing to note with that Horror show, unless that's just My Son's normal one, is that his dad showed up as well. If you happen to be getting chased by multiple characters and they are close enough when one of them get you. The other character will show up and do their attack as well to doubly gently caress you. I don't know if it's only certain pairs of characters or if anybody can help out with anybody. I know for a fact that Mummy Dog and Mummy Pappa have a unique one with Catherine though for example though.

  Feliz Navidad, goons! Hopefully you're all having some very merry holidays and maybe after you're done unwrapping gifts or getting ready for Boxing Day, then you can relax and take in a nice game of futbol. And here's your usual bonus of poor Shub getting murdered: Bonus 8: Angel Dog's Horror Show p.s. at the end of the LP I'll make sure to include a bonus video of what happens when a game over occurs as it's somewhat interesting.

Just binge watched this LP, and it's gone full circle in the greatest way possible.  Including the switches between Americanisms and Britishisms. Makes me wonder if they were planning a NA release at some point, and when it didn't happen they shrugged their shoulders and mashed the scripts together.

I got around to watching the first two seasons of the Anime a few weeks ago and I think my favourite character is Judgement Boy, because he's not afraid to gently caress with Gregory. In his introduction he puts Gregory through the very same rigged test as everyone else, but hits really hard because of the choice that he presents: "Gregory... You get a call teling you that your mother has just been run over by a car while shopping for groceries, and is calling out for you in the hospital. However you also have a hot date tonight with the girl of your dreams... do you go on your date, ignoring your mother's pleas for help, or do you give up on love, and run to your mother's side in her hour of need?" "Well.. obviously I go to see my mother... why wouldn't I?" "So... you say that you would go to see your mother,. but is that really the case? Let's find out! Judgemeeeeent!" *Judgement Boy spins as usual, and the gold falls from the rigged weight* "Gregory... how disappointing. You keep your date for the night, leaving your mother in the hands of countless strange, uncaring doctors. She dies alone in her bed, calling out for you. You monster!" "Noooo.... moommmyyyy.... noooooo  "Really great sequence. I haven't played this game very far, so Niggurath, if that happens later in the game just say so and I'll edit it out completely. As far as I'm aware this is anime only.

All the intro cutscenes are taken from the anime, but I don't think they take anything else from the series. I wouldn't call Judgment Boy's judgements as so much rigged as more revealing - people will often say the noble answer, but is it really what they'll actually do? Think of him like Anubis weighing one's heart against Maat's feather of truth. His last line is "You made your choice - now you get to live with it" after all.

Still love Gregory Horror Show. I heard there was an attempt to make a new season of it, but with 2D animation, but I'm not sure what came of it. In the original 3D series, it was always fairly interesting in how the hotel attracts people who prefer to live on a fantasy and who are escaping reality. Each one of the residents is a parody of their real selves, and Gregory is somehow both his own character yet also something that a person has to face within themselves. Knowing this, I'm wondering how the hell our main character managed to get themselves over to this hell dimension. I love Gregory Horror Show.

  With that, we've now gotten all the souls and we can enjoy a much needed rest...just not on this particular night it seems. Also there's no new horror shows as Judgement Boy Gold is like Judgement Boy in that regard. So while this is a short update, hopefully I should have the final update out before the year ends and we can see the actual exciting climax.

  So in the end, life is a bleak lovely place and the only escape from that reality is a remote place in a dark forest....a place where your room is always waiting for you. Good times all around. Also a few bonuses that I felt like holding off till the end: Gregory Horror Show Attract Mode Gregory Horror Show Game Over

I gotta say, the ending and game over are really weak for keeping the main character a complete cipher for the player. It's a bit late by now to do anything about that anyway but still. Good job on finishing this LP too! Nice to see how this went, even if it's a little disappointing.

I, on the other hand, loved the ending. I got really attached to Neko Zombie and seeing him stand up for himself was weirdly inspiring. Glad you came back to finish the game off, I greatly appreciate it.

It's pretty much a redux of how Series 2 ended (and uses footage directly from it), Neko Zombie really is the most pitiful character, how many times does he try to help someone escape, or destroy the house, but in the end - they always come back. And yes, I feel the game does suffer from making the player character a complete cipher in order to accommodate the self-insert nature - as while we never see Male Guest or Female Guest, we can infer from their monologues, and their actions how/why they ended up in the House even if they themselves don't understand.

Oh no question that Neko Zombie doing his thing was as good as it was in season 2, I just wish there was more to follow it up with than "but I realized that because [insert reason here] I might come back someday anyway and never want to leave!" It feels incomplete by comparison to seasons 1 and 2 without a proper background for the guest themselves and why they wanted to escape reality so badly in the first place. Sadly, on the note of Neko Zombie I have read that the manga season 3-ish followup has him entirely give up on helping new guests and go just as crazy as Carrie.

It still really begs the question though of who this game was meant for? Would fans of the show have wanted to play a bizarre mixture of stealth action and puzzle solving adventure, especially considering that was never really a theme of the anime shorts? Was it supposed to draw in new fans for the show that'd see the weird art and think "Man, this game is bizarre. I can only wonder if maybe the shorts are just as bizarre." It's really just confusing in the end why Capcom would have decided on this game at all. It's not like there was ever a real peak time for Gregory Horror Show and yet...here we are. But I've got no real place to question it all, I mean, poo poo, they made a game for Junji Ito's 'Uzumaki': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjMpUwQ700I But that brings us to the real question here; what to do next? A part of me is thinking: Chulip (cause I can never stop doing LP's that Jamesman did), Clock Tower 2 (cause I hate fun or playing good games), or maybe Shadow Tower Abyss (cause that game is a confusing, spooky, archaic mess from From Software). I'm always up for ideas, especially if it's something lesser known.

Okay, I'm officially shocked there's an Uzimaki game. I really should learn more about the Wonderswan. That's right up there with the fact that there were TWO games based on Clive Barker's Nightbreed on the Amiga. They're both kinda bad however.

An LP of Chulip would be interesting too, though. I am also intensely interested in seeing a full playthrough of Clock Tower 2, but you are a goodboy who should play good games. For lesser-known horror, um, are you interested in horror visual novels like Cosmology of Kyoto? I know there was one translated recently that was set in a pyramid or something. Does someone with a better memory than me know what I'm referring to?

Basically, it was a fairly long running series from From Software and the final game in the series was only fan translated, and that's Shadow Tower Abyss. It's a fairly nice looking, bleak first person dungeon crawler for the PS2 that has guns in a fantasy settings and you can chop people's arms and legs off for goofy effect.

I'd be a bit weary of doing that game cause it's more of an RPG and I'd probably need to do screenshots, and I'm poo poo with screenshot LP's (like I tried to do one years ago and it was just a dead zone that I sadly never finished though I only had ten minutes left of gameplay to really cover). And I'm wanting to say that someone did Cosmology before, but I feel that I'm dreadfully under educated for what that game needs as it's kinda very heavy into Japanese mythology and folklore. That also reminds me of a fairly odd visual novel game for the DS called Theresia; I wanted to do that but I don't feel it would work in video format. Ignatius M.

For some reason I had it in my head it was a visual novel, when it looks like it's probably closer to Sweet Home. I think an RPG might work in video format, but it would require so much editing it's probably not worth the hassle.

I vote for Chulip because we need a "modern" LP of that game and while it's not quite a horror game and therefore not in your normal wheelhouse, i think more people need to be exposed to it's weirdness.

Thanks for the awesome LP niggurath. Never give up hope neko zombie, keep fighting the good fight. I never finished Shadow Tower: Abyss so I'd love to see that. It'd be great to see Chulip again because gosh darn that game is wonderful. This is a difficult choice. As for Clock Tower, are we talking Clock Tower 2 or Ghost Head?

Shadow Tower sounds like it'd be great, especially given how much I enjoyed your last foray into From Software's library. I'd like to see you get back into the Deception series because those games are loving neat. I was going to do Deception 4 myself, but... well... now I'm waiting for someone else to do it. You can't really go wrong with whatever you pick, though.

Hey, congratulations on finishing the LP! I've liked Gregory Horror Show since I saw a youtube LP of this game (oh god, has it really been) 8 years ago, so it's nice to see it done justice. I even picked up the dvd's. If you're still taking suggestions on your next LP, I'd say Shadow Tower Abyss just because I probably won't have a chance to play it. I wouldn't mind seeing your take on Chulip though.

Thanks for the LP, Niggurath! I'll toss in another vote for Shadow Tower Abyss. I haven't seen many of From Software's non-DS offerings. But whatever you choose in the end will be interesting, I'm sure. (Though Clock Tower 2 sounds more like punishment?)
