What the fuck is up with this game?
It's so weird and quirky, I want to refund it but I also don't.
>>342699637
Deadly Premonition is a "homage" to a show called "Twin Peaks". Watch that and it'll make sense (probably)
>>342699637
yeah listen to this anon >>342699972
>>342699972
That's odd. I'll give it a try, thanks.
>>342699637
Its good just play it

Literally the greatest game I've ever played.
I'm dead serious.
Dead. Fucking. Serious.
>>342701193I kind agree.
>>342700476
You don't have to be young to not know what twin peaks is you fucking moron.
It's gameplay is a massive drag, but Francis York Morgan and the rest of the cast made me keep playing.
Honestly, I hate to say this about most games, but just watch Super Great Friend's lets play. He 100%s the game which would be a colossal waste of time otherwise, cuts off some of the fat, and doesn't talk over important parts/is generally actually full of useful knowledge. Playing through it normally with no meta knowledge means you'll make the already dull combat super frustrating too the later you get and you'll miss a lot because the game frustratingly keeps on treating everything like a rush while having all the sidequests take place inbetween those moments the story treats like a rush.
>>342699637
Welcome to SWERY the ride never ends and you'll never play a buggier or better game in your life.

Press play numbnuts
>It's so weird and quirky
It's shit.
Stop with the fucking memeing. This is not some misunderstood jewel, it's plain shit.
Graphics are shit
Gameplay is atrocious to the point of almost unplayable
Story is a horrible mess
>b-but le coffee xD
Then watch TP, it did everything way better than DP anyways.
>>342701117
>>342700721
I used to listen to this at work, helped pass the time
Fucking shooting sections and driving is killing this precious little gem.
>>342701295
I think I might have to do that an LP.
I've tried to play it on PC, but it just crashes randomly every 15-20 minutes, and as there's no quick save, it just became unbelievably frustrated to rush through a section hoping it doesn't crash before the save points.
This is the shittiest crappiest ugliest most engaging fascinating best game In the world. Holy shit is it so bad/good.
>>342701349
>Graphics are shit
A little dated.
>Gameplay is atrocious to the point of almost unplayable
Sounds like you need to *git gud*.
>Story is a horrible mess
If you're retarded.

What about the coffee?
>Then watch TP, it did everything way better than DP anyways.
I'll DP your mom so hard she'll be out of TP, buddy. ASAP CIA FBI BBQ.
>>342700476
More like how old are you
Seriously, I just started watching Twin Peaks this year thanks to this game and I'm fuckin' old enough to have seen the show during its run.
In a world where 2nd Season wasn't a shitshow Twin Peaks went on to become a household name
I worry for the fate of 3rd season now that log lady died, she kept the original log all these years. She was the spiritual anchor.
>>342699637
Do not refund it. It has replay value out the ass, and once you do a blind playthrough you're gonna blow your mind looking at how much shit you missed afterwards.
>>342701349
>Stop with the fucking memeing.
You should have finished the the post there and take your own advice.
>>342699637
Stick with it. It's has a lot of glaring flaws, especially gameplay wise, but if you're anything like me, you're going to fall in love with the characters, the worldbuilding, the plot, the mystery.
>>342701594
>Flaws
I couldn't find any
>>342701376
I think the thing that annoyed me most was whenever you stop the car to check something out or grab a card York would do the "okay Ill tell you the rest later" thing and when you get back in and continue he starts the story from the fucking beginning. And stopping driving every 5 minutes means you hear the same part of the story over and over and never get to the end of the analogy.
Other than that, fucking great game.
I can't get this game to run for some reason. Won't go past the opening FMV.
>>342701594
Everyone looks like anime in this game except for bootleg Naomi Watts here. She's the best model in the game. Isn't that right, Zach?
>platinum'd this game
wait..
>why the fuck did I do that
Is york the best protag of the last generation?
The worst parts of this game are the repetitive enemies and driving the car but at least you get to hear good cult movie gossip.
>>342701706
google PCgamingwiki deadly premonition
Everything you need to fix the PC port and then some. Beware, even these fixes won't always do the trick. Greenvale is a fickle mistress
>>342699972
Right. I love Deadly Premonition but I don't know if I'd appreciate it nearly as much if I wasn't a big Twin Peaks fan. A lot of it would probably fly over my head.
Man I hated that super sayan demon boss fight. I can't imagine beating it without the directors cut.
>>342701759
I want to at some point, but I can't be dealing with going back and hassling to do the right chapters for the right quests/cards. Its sitting there at like 85%but I can't muster up the effort to do it
>>342701808
York is the best protagonist of any generation
>>342701825
I could look past the driving issues just Listening to York ramble on
I should find a full collection of all his movie talks
>>342701834
Thanks anon!
>>342701863
It probably varies from person to person, but personally i fell in love with it even though I was only vaguely aware of Twin Peaks
Also fuck this games map screen. Fucking terrible.

What did the coffee say to you?
> That window peaking mechanic that still has to fully load the building interiors
What's even the fucking point?
>>342701636
The driving is easily the worst I've ever played. The tiniest turn and the car would slide on its side.
>>342701693
This as well.
The sidequests had really obnoxious parameters, especially Emily's.
The shooting could be better. If it wasn't for the infinite ammo guns, I don't know if I would have finished.
Those are just the ones I can think of the top of my head and I'l still call this one of my favorite games.
>>342701873
Thought he looked more like Blanka from Street Fighter.
>>342699637
It's actually really fucking good. Keep playing it and have fun.
>>342701962
Yeah, you can make the minimap while driving around bigger with one of the trigger buttons. The red room map is just Zach being a shit and turning your map the direction you're facing. Poor York
>>342701915
You're welcome, other anon.
I wouldn't recommend this game on PC to anyone, the fucking game doesn't want you to play it even after applying so many fixes by just crashing at different parts.
It made me so mad I kept getting stucked after killing all the zombies in the hospital. I spent more than 3 hours by that point trying to make the game work and couldn't get a refund.
>>342702058
I'm guessing to see if someone was home, but going to the door told you whether they were home or not. Maybe part of some cut content, maybe Swery wanted it because he could.
>>342701193
Agreed. It's perfect.
Was York even a real FBI agent?
NERF WRENCH
>>342702206
I had one crash after applying all of the fixes, and didn't even get the infamous diner crash.
There is no rhyme or reason to it, and it's all on Access Game's shoulders for making such a terrifying nightmare of code.
That's probably why we never got a Drakengard 3 port on PC, probably runs on an engine coded similarly to DP
>>342702160
God damn the map. Always turning the direction I'm facing made me lost so many times. Still, got to listen York ramble on, which is always fun.
Has the voice actor done anything else?

>>342702413
He only did bit roles, it was his first major break.
I wish we could get Francis York Morgan in a fighting game, complete with animations ripped straight from the game and game-related attacks
Plus it'd give that poor guy another chance to be York
>>342702451
So fucking satisfying. Did the same thing, must of spent two hours just trying to get that doing the same routine. And the prize for that? An item that lets you change the weather to raining.
>>342702556
That's a shame. Most people agree that even if they didn't like the game, York's voice actor was good.
Well, if I ever manage to make a game, I'll have to find this guy.

>still no word on Deadly Premonition 2 to celebrate Twin Peaks S3

The only bad thing about this game are repetetive and easy enemies. I felt like was playing on some cheat codes becasue i had too much ammo.

>>342702620
That item regens your health. The description is confusing, though, so I see how you could think that.
>>342703681
Didn't Swery get sick or something? Thought he was on leave. He just disappeared.
>>342703306
It makes sense, though. I heard the game had no combat sections at first, it was probably just QTEs and some stealth elements, given the fact that you can hide in every trash container in town
But one of the higher-ups told them there had to be a combat system, and this is what we got
>>342701759
I platinum'd this game and don't regret any of it, an awesome experience I wish I could repeat. Granted, getting those cards from the revisits to the Otherworld was a pain, but it's worth it
>tfw you become a weapon of mass destruction with a lightsaber and an infinite rocket launcher that holds three rockets at the same time
>>342703014

>DP has shit gameplay
Can somebody explain this to me? It seems like every other Japanese horror game.
I mean the shooting is literally just ripped off from RE4.
>>342703681
I need more D4. It wouldn't be as bad if it didn't end in such a cliffhanger
>>342703813
/spoiler/
/spoiler/
>Emily dies
>Zack gets cucked by himself
Rather sad ending for a game with so much silly stuff in it
>>342703841
Really? Never actually used it since it was the last thing I had to do.
Just looked up the description. Fuck me then. I've been holding a grudge to that sidequest for some time now. Still do but it no longer feels like a slap in the face.
It's the best worst game you'll ever play. Savour it, OP, it's a true experience.
>>342699637
It's for those who understand it. I don't mean the story or character or anything. I just mean the sincere low budget nature of it all. Only from Japan can you get a game with so many different feels.
>>342699972
Its not a homage, it's a huge ripoff. It's a low budget ripoff of Twin Peaks. Except it's good. Really good. Think of comparing it to all the Italian Dawn of the Dead and Mad Max ripoffs. And the game even nods to itself as being inspired by shitty B-Movies.
You don't need Twin Peaks at all OP, just know that the game is not original in a setting or character sense. It's original in a "feel" sense. An odd surreal ambience of optimism, melancholy, and intrigue that only a japanese videogame can bring.
reading this thread made me buy it desu
>>342703979
Deadly Premonition was never meant to have gameplay. I think they were forced by the publisher to half-assedly insert shooting into their gameworld they already constructed.
It's why Swery's game after this one doesn't have any combat. It's just a point and click adventure.
>>342704305
You done good.
Here's hoping you'll actually be able to play it.
>>342703979
Cars control like they're on ice, shooting feels like you're shooting nerf darts at enemies, melee weapons hit somewhere to the top-right of the actual melee weapon when you swing it and it requires you to be point blank next to the enemy to hit them, the wall crawling zombies are just terrible, there's the durability system in general until you get the guitar or infinite durability weapon, and it just generally feels clunky to do anything.
>>342699637
The characters are likeable but the game also happened to have the worst shooting and driving sections ever
what the fuck
>>342704168
>It's the best game you'll ever play
Fixed that for you
>finish the game
>only have like half of the "chapter completed" entries on Steam
Even the achievements are buggy, I love this game.
I love it. I just wish the PC version didn't crash constantly. I had to shelve it.
>>342704342
didn't know anything about it except b-movie and twin peaks influences, ya i hope it's actually semi decent
>>342704648
I got all the ones I should've gotten. On the other hand, I don't give a fuck about achievements.
>>342704648
Did you played it in offline mode maybe?
>>342701349
Did you see it zach? a messege in my coffee, clear as day, said this poster was a total faggot.
>>342704942
I don't either, it's just weird as fuck that there's a bunch missing.
>>342703180
If you're still early in the game, you should know that that the otherworld parts become shorter as the game goes on.
I remember distinctly because one of the early action parts (lumber mill possibly?) almost made me drop the game because of how long and tedious it was. I told myself then that I wouldn't finish the game if each action part was like that. I did end up finishing and loving the game, so go figure.
Chances are that if you make it through the first couple of chapters, you will not be able to put it down.
>>342701349
It's perfectly okay if you don't like it, anon. The game isn't for everyone, that's for sure
But, damn, you sound like you don't have any sense of humor.
>>342705393
I'm on the follow nick part, from what i saw i think there'll be an other world segment at muses gallery. Got an infinite magnum and a submachine gun.
I'm also playing it in short burts, sometimes once a week. I don't think i could play this game like i play most others.
>>342701193
It's a good game, but it has some major flaws, the twin peaks angle kinda wears off after a while and the last boss is really really weak and completely out of the left field ruining the themes of the game. Combat is really really shitty and easy as hell and the animations and graphics are ps2 tier. But it has it's moments I'd say it's a diamond in the rough.
>>342705627
infinite submachine gun really makes the rest of the game a breeze, try getting that.
>>342705627
also, the muses gallery part is realy fucking cool
>>342701349
Good God man, chill out.
>>342703979
Fightting feel clunky and too easy, like the game devs just made it in the last minute. It owuld have been a better game if the protagonist could only avoid enemies and run like in Penumbra or Amnesia.
>>342699637
Play to the end anon...
It's probably my favourite game because of how much doesn't work right.
>Map requires you to actually learn the town to understand it
>Combat intense on hard unless you decide to rock the electric guitar all game before giving it back which kills anything in a hit or two
>So many extra scenes just for replaying and going off the beaten path to meet people early
>Midnight
I tried watching Twin Peaks and it isn't bad, but considering just how similar it is to Deadly Premonition and having played DP first its hard to watch.
Deadly Premonition does everything Twin Peaks wanted to but better. Aside from combat that Twin Peaks did much better (by having none).
Though the idea of "secret" missions to get cool stuff like an unlimited ammo bazooka and stuff are neat. its just the combat sections are so bad
Watch Giant Bomb Endurance run (the one with Jeff and Vinny).
You get most of the fun of the game with hilarious commentary, but its annoying they only do like 20% of the side content.
>The re-release was a garbled mess with terrible color correction
>>342714298
Just watch supergreatfriends' let's play then for informative commentery and all side content and leave that kidcore shit outta here.
>>342699972
No, that's not true. The director of the game pointed out that he never watched the series on several occasions.

>>342703180
>GB Vinny and Jeff LP
Given how early in the life of the game that happened, you really have to wonder if GB had anything to do with how much of a cult classic the game eventually became.
