Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise

I bought this game since I like the weirdness of Deadly Premonition and it delivered. This game had an issue where spamming buttons wouldn't let me pick up items, setting my monitors refresh rate to 60HZ fixed this, this game must be played at 60hz, trust me. The fan patch improves the graphics immensely, though has its own flaws, a link below. https://github.com/SuiMachine/Deadly-Premonition-2---Sui-s-hack/releases/tag/2.1.0 This also helps fix the button popups if your brain mixes up Switch inputs with Xbox ones like mine does. You can look up a video online if details are needed. So finally the game review, the dialogue is oddly long, this felt intentional but threw me for a loop. The game has mechanics that felt unnecessary, it feels that they tried to add scale to the game by adding mechanics, such as the focus meter introduced in the tutorial, then the voodoo idols to increase stats or the side quests, I skipped all side quests except the one to fix the shower (gotta stay clean). Never used a single idol, and never used the focus meter other than for curiosity when I remembered it existed. The side quests are completely unnecessary, I see why they would add them, but I'd be more interested in ways to interact with the main story. As for the story... I would just ride through it, I didn't really pay attention, but some characters were interesting, like P.J. Clarkson, his dialogue was fine, his character a little interesting. I feel this game wanted to deliver only the main story, and I feel that's all I wanted, at least for this game. The bosses go down fast and hard, besides the end. Ran out of ammo so I had to go fist to fist in the final fight, I found this funny, considering the context of the situation. The part I enjoy the most in this game is the interaction between Zac/York. I don't feel every character needs to be nutty, just the main character is enough, normal characters interacting with a nutty detective is beyond interesting to me. I liked the first game better, but this game was still enjoyable for me, even with the flaws where else will I find such an odd interesting game? I hope they make Deadly Premonition 3 one day, with a focus on the story and small oddities. I just seem to like these games, even with the flaws.

Nonono che gioco inutile e del cazzo, vi prego fate finta che esista solo Deadly Premonition 2 e non giocate questo, addirittura questo titolo retconna il finale del primo gioco, quindi abbastanza pessimo. Un intero gioco basato sul nulla e con zero voglia di scoprire cosa effettivamente sia successo, perché non c'era appunto niente che si potesse collegare effettivamente, con un finale che rovina totalmente il sacrificio di York nel primo gioco. Statene alla larga.

Plus d'une décennie après le 1er jeu, Deadly Premonition revient. Mais est-ce que c'était nécessaire ? C'est la question que je me suis posée tout le long de ce jeu. Bien sûr Francis York Morgan est toujours un personnage hyper attachant dans sa folie. Le gameplay est un peu plus affiné, les graphismes un peu plus modernes. On reste aussi dans le pastiche d'oeuvres connues dans le scénario, en troquant Twin Peaks pour la saison 1 de True Detective, dans son format mi-prequel, mi-suite. Les dialogues entre les personnages sont toujours adorablement lynchiens. Néanmoins, passés ces éléments attirants, il n'y a pas grand-chose de plus à se mettre sous la dent. La ville de Le Carré est aussi énorme que vide, les personnages secondaires sont peu nombreux et moyennement intéressants, les quêtes secondaires aussi amusantes que de remplir une fiche d'impôts, les phases de tir répétitives à en mourir. On sent que les développeurs se sont rendus compte du manque de contenu, et ont fait exprès de remplir le jeu à ras bord de contenu annexe inintéressant, et de verrouiller des missions dans le temps (devoir obligatoirement attendre quelques jours avant de pouvoir avancer par exemple). Malgré les fulgurances habituelles de SWERY, le jeu m'a fait ressentir une émotion que j'ai rarement eue en jouant: l'ennui. Dommage. Je le conseille seulement aux passionnés du 1er jeu ayant envie de voir plus de York. Point technique: bien que ce jeu soit infiniment plus stable que le 1er opus sur PC, il a quand même son lot de problèmes. Graphismes et résolution bloqués, manette obligatoire, boutons "valider" et "annuler" inversés. Pour régler tout ça, je vous recommande fortement le mod Sui's Hack dispo sur GitHub.

En una misión te mandan a comprar una lata de comida a un bar. Ahí te dicen que solamente la venden los lunes (es martes), procedo a acelerar el tiempo durmiendo en sacos de dormir pero por dormir en el piso el personaje se ensucia mucho y no me quieren vender la comida hasta bañarme, sumado a que el hotel cuesta como 150$ x día. Me dirijo al hotel para ducharme para seguir con la historia pero la ducha no funciona, hablo con el botones del hotel y me dice que hablar con el técnico que viene los martes, espero un día más y el técnico me dice que tengo que ajustar una válvula (en el proceso me multa con 70$ por estar sucio), la ajusto, no funciona, vuelvo a hablar (me multan), me manda a hablar con el chef (atiende los jueves), me siguen cobrando el hotel, le hablo, tengo que ajustar otra válvula, la ajusto, no funciona, le hablo al chef (me multa), me dice que tengo que hablar con el botones (multa), ajusto la última válvula y por fin puedo ducharme. Espero que sea lunes de nuevo. En todo el proceso perdí 2000$ y ya no me alcanza para comprar la lata de comida. 10/10 simulador de la vida real

Starts off a little slow but after the first Otherworld section the plot really gets going, and the final episode of the game is absolutley amazing. While I'd still consider the original Deadly Premonition for the 360 to be the superior game, Deadly Premonition 2 surpassed my expectations plot-wise and ended up being just as enjoyable as the original in the second half of the game.

Uggg. I have to struggle on both to get them working. If you are willing to get it working and you love going down the rabbit hole, this is a great series. But I will be honest. If you don't want to outright pirate. I suggest you just buy it here then use a high seas copy or just get it on Ebay. Disc still work and Cheaper then on Steam while on sale..... Ya, despite the hype, Steam has made videogames more expensive for the price hunters by removing used copies. Way to go gamer collective. Now I am seeing games stay at day 1 prices forever, lowing price for a only for a sale (and mathematically made to milk the market) and broken ports (at least 1 case of a port just being a version the owners stole from pirates, lol) like this are the norm. Clap for your service. Its going to get worst in the years coming. Ya, the fact I am using steam reviews to be an old man yelling at the group-think shows I need to stop playing games. The hobby has moved on past me.
