"I hate working in silence. I always have some music or radio station on — like
Musashino FM — when I work. It's as important a tool, to me, as paper or a pen.

But I'm disorganised and lazy sometimes, and can't always find my CD's.
So, a coworker showed me how to find and listen to music directly on the
internet! And I'm a bit of an online video "addict" now! I even found videos
of people playing JoJo video games, but many of them just talk right over them.
I'm thinking "Shut up! People want to hear the video game, not you or your lame
jokes!" but maybe some people really do enjoy this.

I guess, there's some mysteries in life, we're not meant to understand..."

Welcome one and all, to another duology Let's Play behind the sick twisted minds of the 50 Cent Duology; The JoJo Duology. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a japanimation/comimanga split up into several parts, each focusing on a different character in the Joestar lineage who, along with their own unique set of allies, fight against strange enemies who threaten their peaceful lives. We are going through two games from two different parts; JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for the Super Famicom, a Part 3 game, and GioGio's Bizarre Adventure for the PS2, which is a Part 5 game. ChorpSaway will be heading up the Super Famicom game and I, FutureFriend, will be heading up the PS2 one. For these Let's Plays we will be joined by the other members of The Otaku Trash Machine, TheJayOfSpade (nerd) and Taoc (jock). Both games are Japanese exclusives, but have been fan-translated, so we will be using those versions.



JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (SFC) is a JRPG made by Winkysoft, who have pretty much developed 95% of all SNES anime adaptation games. Their outing in JoJo is weird, its an utterly bog-standard JRPG that is mostly just a weird highlights version of Stardust Crusaders where every fight takes place 2 minutes after the previous. It's cool though, Jotaro can die by being yelled at rudely by an ape. Despite being a JRPG, it's also very short, so this will be a Video LP provided to us by ChorpSaway. This game was fan-translated by romhacking group Aeon Genesis.

GioGio's Bizarre Adventure is a PS2 action game made by Capcom. It's a weird clunky boss rush game that does a surprisingly decent job translating Golden Wind's fights and their mechanics into video game form. It's almost obsessively devoted to translating nearly everything from the Manga 1:1 into the game. It's interesting and hell, I think, as the person providing this part of the LP, its worth checking out for how it tries to do this. This game was fan-translated by manga translation group JoJo's Colored Adventure. This game's LP also won't be released until we're done with the Super Famicom Game, sorry for that!


No rules. As long as this thread stays fun and funny, we'll keep it that way. This Let's Play also won't be spoiler-free, so go wild!

I can't say I really understand your decision to recreate the 'to be continued' thing from the anime but replace Roundabout with "Why is Avdol's hair green now?" 'It's always been green, what are you talking about?' but I support you and your artistic vision.

the original idea for this lp was to have the game be accompanied by the entire yes discography, but steve howe resolved to hunt me down if i did, so sorry viewers, its 4 nerds talking now

[obligatory Stacey's Mom joke about Jotaro's mom]

I love that so far you've beaten up fellow students, the school nurse, and a janitor, left a bunch of people in a classroom with their tongues cut out, and we still don't know if any of the characters have feet.

and don't worry, we've still got so many more people to beat up before we find the leg's ultimate secret

not really my kind of vid so i didnt watch it thru but hell, ya should read all the parts of jojo. since it spans so much of araki's career its a nice and easy way to see how he evolves as a artist and writer. anyway it all stinks compared to this game tho, which we are finishing tonight.



think we'll be able to start the next game in about 2 or so weeks, thanks for watching this one and hope everyone enjoys the next one.

It's amazing how, even with this game's clear clunkiness, it still seems far more entertaining to play than the SNES RPG. Like, I actually want to give it a try.

oh yea, i think this game is super janky and at times a pain to play, but its also just so much more interesting and ambitious than the jrpg. hell, this new update already lets you play as a completely different character

Clearly Bruno put in an order to VoodooPC to get a high-powered laptop with all that money.


as a capo, i imagine that bruno needs to show off his monetary power and get a sweet rear end alienware. as a gamer, i cannot condone such horrid actions, but i guess thats why the mafia works in the shadows.

I'm happy there is a character whose special power is "gun"

insane imo that they allowed mista to have a gun, but i guess it makes sense in a country where u fear venice might revolt at any point.

holy hell tho, i havent updated in a while, so uh heres another update, thinking we might be able to finish this next month.

To be fair, while fighting King Crimson did look like a complete pain in the rear end, that strikes me as really immersive. Like, you can really put yourself in Bruno's shoes and feel what he was feeling in the moment, which was bound to be something along the lines of "What the gently caress? What the gently caress?????"

this is why im an expert gamer, instead of that my high 85 Gamer IQ brain thinks "oh a fist? i should phase thru it by rolling". havent been in one yet but i think this would make me victor in any irl fight. for now tho, lets win a videogame one

You know, I've seen people rag on how goofy it looks in the anime when Secco falls into the garbage disposal, and I get it, but the game makes it just as goofy and I kind of love that.

imo its supposed to be goofy, secco is inherently a goofy character like an ape, or the joker.

final update's out btw, sorry its late, forgot that february only has 28 days

MInus points for lack of Rolling Stones though.

rolling stones is fwir actually in one of the audiobook unlockables ya get, nearly every fight that isnt playable is, but well it requires ya to get a bunch of points in all the stages and doing it with all the characters. and im too lazy for that
