 WHAT IS THIS GAME? Ju-on: The Grudge is a game for the Nintendo Wii, released in 2009. Based on the wildly popular Japanese and American movie series of the same names (and directed by the same guy), the horror story tells us of a curse that's reborn again and again with each victim it claims, which takes the forms of a ghostly brother and sister. This game sucks, you guys. Like, really badly. I touch on a lot of my problems in the first episode, so I won't bore you here, but just know that it makes some other bad horror games look like masterpieces. PRIOR EXPERIENCE Because there's something wrong with me, I've already played Ju-on twice all the way through, because I didn't realize that I needed to get every collectible to unlock the final chapter. Amy, on the other hand, had only heard my sobbing, tear-filled stories of my own time with it until now, but she's excited to see the mechanic of getting to throw jump scares at me and the audience. (By "jump scares," I mean covering the screen with so much crap at once that it'll probably eventually get me killed.) SPOILER POLICY "People die, and then ghosts!" There, I just summarized the entire story of the game (and the original Japanese movie, really). Spoilers shouldn't be a problem. :-P If you know of any particular parts that you want Amy to experience for the first time, though, hide those behind spoiler tags. I think that about covers it. I hope you all enjoy! EPISODE LIST Part 1: Uuuuhhhhhhhgh Part 2: Pick up the second Wii Remote Part 3: Purple-boy floor Part 4: What are you doing with your diary? Part 5: We haven't even finished The Witness yet! Part 6 (FINALE): Time for bed pedrovay2003 fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Jun 29, 2016 |

The shocking twist is that there's an unlockable final episode that gets you killed and turned into a ghost. :-P pedrovay2003 fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Jun 11, 2016 |

I was honestly worried about playing this one, because I thought people would lose interest. I'm glad I seem to have been mistaken. :-D

CryingAthena posted:The question is: which is worse, the controls for Fatal Frame 4 or the controls for Ju-On? I think the controls in Ju-on are worse. They're certainly not good in Fatal Frame 4, but just having an actual joystick makes such a huge difference that nothing else seems as bad in comparison. Ju-on just feels weird to control.

I'm so sorry for your lost sanity. This is probably the biggest highlight of this game though. I honestly love how this episode turned out, but yeah, after watching the fully-edited version a day later, I realized that I was much angrier than I had thought at the time. :-P

I knew how much I hated it, and we still paid $30 just to do this LP. :-P But it was worth it; the response has been excellent so far, and Amy and I have wanted to do this one for a while now. pedrovay2003 fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Jun 18, 2016 |

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:The Ring: Terror's Realm makes this game look like a horror masterpiece My God, I'm going to have to play this now; I don't know if I can even force myself to believe that there's ANYTHING in this world that can make Ju-on for the Wii look just GOOD, let alone a masterpiece.

The Watercrown posted:Speaking of Ring in a Ju-On thread, who's excited for Sadako Vs Kayako? I had to look up what this was, and to be honest, I'm a little surprised that there hadn't been a crossover up to this point. Speaking of the movies, I think I need to watch the Ju-on ones again. All I remember is that I hated the first one, but I loved the second one; that's as good as my memory is concerning that.

Terry van Feleday posted:Say, I don't know if you've said something about this before, but are you going to continue playing Keepers of the Dark alongside this? It'd be nice to have a, y'know, actually good horror game going to contrast against this junk. Yeah... We've been really bad about that, haven't we? I do want to continue Keepers, and I think we're going to start it up again this week, so hopefully we'll have some more episodes soon.

Okay, part 4 is up now! Not as angry this time around. This is actually probably one of the better chapters in the game, if such a thing exists.

Okay, guys, it's time for the finale! It was a much shorter than our other playthroughs, but that's probably for the best, because it's Ju-on. Thanks to all of you who stuck it out and watched the whole series! We're throwing around ideas for the next game, and we'll definitely be back soon.

azren posted:If you are taking requests for the next/another lp, I really want to see someone tackle The Ring: Terror's Realm. I only saw the first, like, hour/hour and a half or so, and dear God does it look I'll need to see if I can snag a copy. I honestly just want to play it so I have an excuse to fire up the Dreamcast again. :-D

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.

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.
