Heh, okay, you guys convinced me. I grabbed a cheap-enough copy on Amazon, since there were several requests for it. I'm also trying to not have any clue as to what it's even like before I play it.

Is that a happy frog, or a sick-to-its-stomach-because-The-Ring frog? EDIT: Amy just informed me that the frog is a gif that doesn't play in the Android app. :-P pedrovay2003 fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jun 30, 2016 |

So wait, the ghost lady went through the effort to put the dead people in bags, drag them to the house, stuff them in the attic, tear the house up, and then kill the protagonist? That ghost is very dedicated.

This level had some pretty neat visuals, between the ghosts of protagonists past and the infinity of ghost cats. It's... nice that they didn't make the last level a letdown? I guess?

So, I guess I don't understand how this ghost thing operates? It kills just random people because they were in the wrong place/time? It's called The Grudge, but unless the grudge in this case is just held against the living, it makes no sense. I do have one theory, the 4 people that are in the black and white photo are the people you run around as (if you count the dog that is also in the photo). It's a little hard to see, in this video it's at about 4:40, but there are 4 people in the photo and it looks like the men on either end might have on uniforms. It's a stretch, but it might make a little sense.

The original idea was that these ghosts are mostly like classic ghosts in that they'll haunt the places that they died, but it goes a step further in that these people died so horribly and in such torment that they are locked in that moment forever. And if you mistakenly stumble into where they died they'll be more than happy to share that torment with you. That is their one sole thought and purpose; to be swept up in that final violent act that ended their lives. Now the movies made this work mostly well, because people would hear an urban legend about these haunted locations and they'd go check it out....then violently die and then their loved ones would go check it out or the police....and then they'd violently die. Pretty much the end of the first movie has this humorous shot of thousands of missing posters around this single house and it really gives the impression that half the population of Japan has died to this single house. But they needed to spice up the premise, so they started to put in paradoxical time travel or that the curse can attach to people and shift to new locations, or be associated with individual objects and that object could cause the curse to move around. And then every thing got rebooted and there's prequels and tv shows, and it all gets confusing. Needless to say, these ghosts aren't really motivated by anything with too much depth. You just happen into their domain and they curse you for doing that.

It's been said before, but it really is easier to think of Kayako and Ju-on styled curses as forces of nature rather than anything else

This is just a reminder that Ju-on: The Grudge is the third movie in the series, not the first (If you don't count the original pair of short films). Go look up individual film synopses on Wikipedia. Same for Ring. The stuff is wierd and interesting.

Actually, those bodies belongs to Kazumi and Katsuya; Catboy and Ghostlady. They were found in the attic in the original film. This along with Kazumi appearing at the top of the stairs, where he first showed in the film was what I felt was a quite nice callback in this otherwise atrocious game.

If your doing Ring Terror's Realm next I recommend reading the books at some point because they are ridiculously entertaining, and it could be fun to compare narrative beats in the game with parts of the books to see if the correlate at all, even accidentally.

Because Amy and I are always looking for ways to please, it's time for The Ring: Terror's Realm! Let's see if it lives up to the overwhelming hype!BioEnchanted posted:If your doing Ring Terror's Realm next I recommend reading the books at some point because they are ridiculously entertaining, and it could be fun to compare narrative beats in the game with parts of the books to see if the correlate at all, even accidentally. Yeah, one of these days, I'd like to get into the stories.

Sorry to bump, but I only discovered this thread this week and have been watching it over the past few days. I'm a big fan of the Ju-On films (though I've not seen any made after the second US film yet, as I'm a lazy rear end). I find it hilarious that the thread tries to debate the "rules" of these ghosts, because like some of the better ghost movies out there (Like Poltergeist or The Haunting--original in both cases) the rules don't matter. Every time a character thinks they get a handle on things and sets out with a battle plan, Kayako and Toshio change the rules again. So yes, you end up having the curse be contagious outside the house (which incidentally has had a near constant layout with each installment, including this one), or have it transcend time. In many ways I'd say the series is much better than the more popular Ringu series, just for this reason. I've watched all of that series, and have felt that it's not nearly as daring or interesting. Though it definitely gets weirder, in its own particular ways...but I'm sure that's a discussion for the Ring LP.
