Unskippable: Folklore

[JonnWood]

It got pretty good reviews, then dropped straight into obscurity. This might have something to do with being released in the same month as The Orange Box, and by extension the Meme Fountain known as Portal.

 

[Tolerant Fanboy]

They've heard of the interrobang, but it's news to them that all Japanese games are weird? What the crap, guys!?

 

[zeratul123]

another awesome and funny episode hhahahahah

 

[Aptspire]

I think they could have started the game with...subtly different lines...
"I got a letter. The name on the envelope said "*Her mother's name here*". My *mother*'s name. It's ridiculous, couldn't possibly be true. That's what I keep telling myself. A dead person can't write a letter. *Mom* died ** *time period here*. So then, why am I looking for her? could *mom* really be there? Is she really alive... waiting for me?"

The Beatles reference killed me. That, and Crosplosion. I demand that word to be in the dictionary.

Nice as always guys.

 

[wfpdk]

lolol. another great episode.

 

[Blackout62]

Oh Japan. When will you learn you can't just say a village in Ireland is some portal to the underworld without something to back it up.

[BlueHighwind]

"I claim this body in the name of Russel!"

 

[TheJwalkR]

Yes! That was hilarious. Crow-splosion is the best made up word I have heard . ever.

 

[thethingthatlurks]

Hilarious vid!
I also find myself strangely intrigued by this game. I might check it out if I can find a copy somewhere...

 

[Brainstrain]

What a fancy weird jacket the magazine writer had.

This one was my favorite, as always.

 

[Xelien]

OMG Folklore!!! 1st game I ever got on my ps3 years? ago. Really good game actually it tried do something different even tho its like pokemon, also funny ep like always!!!!

 

[The Random One]

I thought Unskippable would never return to the realm of weird games I'd never heard about before!

I'm glad Susan spoke up, because I was pretty sure this was one of those games in which an amazing setting and opening cutscene lead to a disppointed horror wannabe in which you amble around finding themed keys and waving flashlingts and nondescript evil entities.

 

[Jaranja]

Three things:

1. "I'm tired now" totally made me snarf.

2. CROWSPLOSION!

3. Folklore is actually a fantastic game, not that you'd know from this cutscene.

Yo, Susan. I'm really happy for ya and I'ma let you finish but "Woah, I'm so surprised, I'm just gonna stare at my fingers" was the best part of the video.

Is that joke dead now? Because that's the first time I've ever used it. :<

 

[mexicola]

"Should I tell The Who to go home now?" Ha ha I loved it!

Another great episode keep it up.

 

[The Great Zegrool]

Hilarious. "I'm tired now" was pure gold.

Also, Folklore=awesome.

Basically, you do combat with "folk", the inhabitants of the world of the dead. Every time you beat a folk, you gain the use of it's abilities. For example, the folk you start with is one that does a melee attack in front of you.

Also, it's real-time. It's really, really fun.
