  • This game is worth jack shit. but the presence of Christopher Walken and the Blue öyster Cult puts it up to a solid 7/10!

    sure as hell enjoyed your playthrough! moar please :D how about The 11th Hour?
  • spacerpg
    Oh, SHIT yeah!

    Hey Spooney, did you know that at the dos prompt if you type riper.exe instead of ripper.exe you'll get a little cinematic about a gross apple? Now you know.

    It was going to be pretty anticlimactic regardless of which killer you get. I also like the reference to the movie Clue, i love that movie. Can anyone tell me what movie that spoony showed clips from where Scott Cohen played that crazy psychopath? That was so hilarious that now i need to get myself a copy of that movie just to see the whole thing.
  • phoenixcrochet
    The Scott Cohen clip is from "The Tenth Kingdom" which aired on cable as a mini-series. That's also the source of the "Mr. Wolf" joke spoony made. I think it aired in 2001, it all takes place in fairy-tale land and Cohen plays a wolf. Sort of a cross between the big bad wolf and Pepe LePeu.

    Thankyou,
  • For an experienced journalist, he sure goes at that keyboard in the worst way possible..

    God damn seeing people chicken peck annoys the hell out of me.

    Aww, this sucks. This game could have been cool, but the multiple endings kinda ruin it. Yeah, there's a specific Ripper each time, but the fact that it's not any particular person makes playing this game kinda useless. I really wanted to know who it was. My money was on Catherine.

  • cheers you commentors, else I wouldnt have had a clue about what was happening at the end.
  • klibble
    Dear Spoony, does it depress you that so many of your fans are BLOODY IDIOTS? This is better than the confusion the ending to your Dirty Harry video caused.

    The Ripper is NOT whoever you want it to be. Seriously, people.
  • nightcobra
    being a bit off-topic here, but i found something i haven't seen in a while and i'm surprised spoony him being a wrestling "fan" hasn't mentioned, praised/bashed this series yet. it would make a funny thing to review, i warn you the following may scar you for life and if by chance you've seen it before i am sorry to re-open old wounds and rubbing them with salt.

    you have been warned...
  • Earthbound_X
    Wow, such an anticlimactic ending.

    It's just like the new Alone's in the Dark's endings, pretty epic game is scope, then it just ends.
  • eaglefalcon
    the game is supposed to randomise the ripper each time as well as place slightly different clues each time. I do have to say that these endings would've made me rage. interesting game overall with a few bad quirks. great review spoony
  • DeathsHead419
    Ya, what a wasted ending. Though contray to what many have said, it isn't pick a Ripper. The game randomises it each time and intersperses the game with different clues. Now if only we could force him to play FFX somehow. I get the feeling his hatred would create a monumentally awsome rant video.

    Also, has anyone else seen the odd grouping of Women in underware ad above idiotic PETA ad? This may sound strange but am I the only one being made to feel hungry by whatching that?
  • david86
    if the ripper and clues are random each time then the real question is "just how many times did spoony end up playing threw this game?"
  • flow_hoe
    Only one time!

    The first CD of the game includes a movie player with which you can see any of the FMV movies without having to play the game itself.
    I also watched the alternative endings with this when I finished Ripper many years ago.
  • geeayeare
    Waaaiitt so...there wasn't a specific Ripper? It was just whoever you wanted it to be? That sucks. :P But I guess after all those puzzles they didn't want to throw another one at you towards the end...oh well, it was still fun to watch. Great Job!
  • Ahh, that ending was total bollocks. My guess was catherine BTW!

    Oh well the journey was more important than the destination it seems. I'm content with that. Best moment had to be the Walken reading impressions. I almost fell of my chair laughing at that.
  • misterkeitel
    Yes. I am disappointed that the Ripper was never really revealed. But now matter. I no look forward to Captain American. As well as the Spoony production of Captain America vs. Dr. Insano.
  • david86
    so the ripper is... whoever you want it to be.

    what a stupid ending XD
  • Roll Fizzlebeef
    I'd like to see the rest of little quips that come right after you tag the Ripper with the weapon (see: Falconetti at 4:32 into the video), if there are any more. I'm just curious to see if Walken overacts or phones in his last line before walking off stage.
  • Imagine if you were reading a murder mystery and the last page wrote, "Pick the killer, whoever you want it to be, we don't care."

    Even with the disappointing end it has been a great journey Spoony. You do good shit. YDGS should be a new acronym if it isn't one already.
  • brus
    Disappointing... Guess the developers really wanted ze player to have an impact on the story by doing this. However, it was pretty disappointing... and stupid.

    Great walkthrough, though, Mr Antwiler!
  • suicidalparrot
    I had no idea that software deletion involved explosions or that professional journalists employ the hunt and peck technique when typing.
  • llimar263
    so after all that the ripper ends up being whoever you want him to be? (sigh) i feel like calling up Phantasmagoria 2 and apologizing
  • From what I've read, I don't think the Ripper ends up being whoever you want. The clues, and therefore the real killer, varies with each play-through.

    But since the ending is essentially the same each time, what's the point of going through multiple play-throughs?
  • torashichishio
    Holy crap, now I know why Quinlan looked familiar... Scott Cohen plays a character in my favorite Law and Order series! No wonder...
