What if The Rookie Talked in Ghostbusters? - The Complete Series (Parody)

[@timedragon5492]

I liked this series a lot more than others. Mostly because Justin Case feels like a real character that perfectly fits in the world.

[@PressStartToLaugh]

Some games fit my style very well. And considering Ghostbusters came out and played a massive role in my childhood, it seems fitting

[@Mr.Freeze420]

I would say afterlife is the 3rd one we needed. Yeah people might say it relies on nostalgia but it’s not at all a bad movie. I said the night it was released if I were to say on twitter that afterlife was better then the original I would get crucified.

[@PrinceAlhorian]

This is actually the script for the 3rd Movie, heavily adjusted to make it work for a game.

[@Strykerclass242]

You know, the main character having the backround of a firefighter may actually be the best skill set for a ghostbuster.

[@masonasaro2118]

fun fact: rookie canonically starts up the chicago branch of ghostbusters after the events of the game.

[@GenAqua]

Cool.

[@Chunkboi]

@@masonasaro2118 dang. In my character headcanon he set up Ghostbusters in Los Angeles, along with a side franchise for R&D, “Ectotech.” It keeps revenue coming to the Ghostbusters on research and production of new applications. The first one is a reconfiguration of the proton pack for cancer treatment. The headcanon also includes Oscar Barrett-Venkman (gotta have the possibility he’d look up to Pete as a father figure who actually cared) as a student at UCLA. He has a hard science major but also a music minor (takes after his mother there).

[@BLUE_FANG]

His name also gets revealed to be Brian Welsh

[@Shidyk]

[@pugtie4695]

38:34 38:38 don't let your kid hear this. 20:06 this was my favorite part by the way hearing him get mad and scared over the situation and not being heard properly. Just comedy gold. Also him being fired from the fire department makes sense they would hire him he would be use to hoofing it in heavy stuff and he's desperate for pay.

[@Chunkboi]

The great thing about the story dynamic is that it allows the player to make a headcanon and it’d still work. Example: Ray: “What’s your name, kid?” Vince: “Well, I’m Vin…” Peter: “No, no names. We don’t want to get attached to the new kid.” The headcanon: the new kid was a hard science graduate, but having trouble getting on the door. His name was Dr. Vincent Peck. Yeah Walter was his dad, and Vince wasn’t too into his dad’s vendetta. Well, the kid needed a job. So…when William Atherton’s character comes up the stairs… Vincent (rolls eyes): “Hi dad.” (glance to Peter) “Hey, you were the one that told me no names.” 😊

[@Bruv-_-164]

This works so well🫡

[@shinigami9851]

God i cant imagine the smug look on petes face.

[@samsilverman8579]

I love the idea he joined the ghostbusters to piss him off

[@Chunkboi]

@@samsilverman8579 Actually in the headcanon he joined mainly because of student loans. He was graduating college when the Gozer incident happened, and he was finishing med school when the Vigo incident happened. Unfortunately he didn’t match that year (not uncommon, some docs need a couple more tries), and needed a job in the interim. So, thumbing through the classifieds, he sees the familiar logo, and didn’t he read an article about the Spengler noise reduction algorithms and how they could clarify imaging? He signed up.

[@Chunkboi]

@@shinigami9851 I think only Bill Murray could pull it off. If I tried to model it using assets from the Ghostbusters game, my graphics card might explode. I can also imagine Pete’s distress trying to keep from stirring the pot, knowing they had a job to do. He’s a psychologist by trade, but oh, the temptation to make Walter have a conniption fit. Too bad, gotta keep the new guy in play.

[@RogueRail]

11:17 There have been times where I would challenge myself to cause less damage to the ballroom as possible. 1:18:54 Also, I was expecting Egon and rookie to say shut up in unison.

[@chrimsonphantom]

IKR. on a very good run i just singe some of the table cloths and get the walls singed a bit. Seeing the cutscene with everything intact makes me wish that we could have a new ghostbuster game in this style. Where you could have multiple paths, one where you destroy almost everything bringing your cred down. Then one where you cause minimal damage, raising it up.

[@sebastiankuolcrimson1622]

The governments have granted full support to the Ghostbusters to expand their operations WORLDWIDE! Air transport, heavy equipment.... and definitely added proton sensors to prevent people from crossing the streams! WE KNOW THERE ARE SOME WHO WILL FOR THE LOLS!!

PSTL, this was excellent. It's not often you find a fan project like this, where the Fan can CLEARLY stand on their own WITH the stars. Amazing job. The voice acting was perfect. Only ONE THING... ..the TSA didn't exist until (almost exactly) ten years after the events of this film/game. One flub, but the rest of this script was ROCK SOLID. This stands up with some of the best fan creations, no matter the genre or original media. Be proud. I LOVED this. This is really what I'd have called "Ghostbusters 3."

[@ranferimondragon357]

Here's some ideas for when you're done with some of your games: Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's World Championship 2011 Over the Nexus. Another KZbinr said it's the best Yu-Gi-Oh video game you never played. Be funny to hear you play card games on motorcycles. Xenoblade Chronicles X. You'll get to fight another evil alien crime syndicate. And you'll eventually unlock and fight with super cool mechs. You can have your kids play and voice Agent 3,4, 8 and new Agent 3 in the Splatoon series. Persona 5 will be very time consuming, but it's addicting once you get the hang of it. And most of the villains will piss you off to no end.
