When I think of Deadly Premonition, I think “All heart, no brain” if you’re just trying to have fun it’s one of the best experiences out there, I don’t know if you’d enjoy the game if you didn’t know what you were getting into, but it still leaves one hell of an impression
This game has more character in one act than most of the AAA gaming industry has had in the past half a decade. Thank you for this video, it will provide me with a couple of hours of joy 👍
He's like the me I'd like to have to talk to myself too.. But then we'd have s and it would get weird. I would end up having to settle just knowing there's another out there, and then I would feel sad again because they would be out forever with no likely probability of both happiness and a variable stream of consciousness analog.. they exist.. The cruelty of course is the compatibility of that in the misery involved lol.. I love that is superpower is autism though.. it's like if you combine autism plus confidence, you get.. I guess Jack reacher technically? This guy's actually not that far off lol.. He's got a different approach to his autism.. But basically the same job and largely the same pop culture skill sets in different avenues and tastes.. probably some different combat skills but.. ain't seen Jack reach or need to deal with supernatural shit so it'll work out.. The weird thing about the first game is that people are okay with this lol.. it's like like autism super fantasy, and I want it so bad, I'm not even that autistic just ADD if anything what's the OCD. But I can roll with the autism.. they can't always roll with me lol.. But he could obviously that's that's what he does lol.. He's got his human skin on, and he sure likes how it fits! The best solutions! Or always fantasies.
Playing the first Deadly Premonition, I knew it had to be a game I completed. . After beating it, even after playing thru the jank & some tedious sections I ended up really enjoying this weird quirky game. The characters and story are so damn interesting you can't turn away 😂 Francis York Morgan is awesome.
I'd challenge anyone to explain what goes on during that game; it's that confusing that I might as well ask people to explain what Love or Joy or Fun is. I've heard "It's a game about police solving a crime" and "A guy about super powers" and "A cult I don't really know" and all are correct ironically. Although I do like the game I also dislike the idea that you have very little control over the actual story; everything leads to the same ending with the same people. The writing is alright, just the overall story is hard to follow because of the over-reaching concepts presented in a snowballing effect; something that does help you connect to *one* of the main characters but really should've been juxtaposed by the police slowly unraveling the case. TL:DR? *Despite all my rage, Written and Directed by David Cage.*
@@EddieSpaghetti69 people really liked it before David Cage became a household meme name.. I don't know I like it when it came out.. It was easy enough to follow for me, and satisfying enough to enjoy the ride that I had no idea was coming.. it's my first familiarization with what would be the assassin's Creed combat.. if I had known that I would have been sad but at the time I thought it was kind of fun and a good way to do that for that particular game... Fucking writing was on the wall though right? Full motion videos making a comeback boys and girls and all in betw. I will give credit though.. unlike assassin's Creed or Callisto protocol.. David cage at least has some sort of dialogue gameplay in his games.. and at least the dance dance revolution is presented that's what it is instead of this pretending that you're actually fighting something because of how bad the modern gamer has gotten at basic input with how much games to play for themselves.. Am I ranting right now and and is it weird that I'm starting it with a David Cage conversation? If you're not following it you weren't into it.. and that's that's fair.. It clearly wasn't for everybody and I happen to be one of the people that it might spectrumize towards I guess. I feel like the ancient conspiracy tangent was a lot less treaded back then as well.. now that we have all these large universe interconnections and we've got to explain every single piece of paper that ever happened in a wiki and have the Vatican hired out as Cannon police to go through every item... It probably seemed like a good idea at the time and kind of cool.. which kind of was... Also credit where it is due it brought back to classic adventure game feature of getting laid, something we hadn't seen since the '90s and the death of the genre.. It is what it is... And I certainly think that it has more potential than it shows and maybe if more people were doing it or maybe if less people were doing it while pretending they weren't doing it? I don't know.. that type of game is is one thing I'm not worried about in its future in gaming, as opposed to like the interactive kind and the amount of leniency people give towards that nowadays.. The logic gaps in Fahrenheit are circumstantial, not necessarily redirected and forced Even if a lot of that is probably going on in the background.. something you can get away with when you're controlling a character that has its own independent mentality.. and somewhat unique to adventure games that doesn't always translate to other games, despite that people don't seem to care that it shouldn't.. or that is a bad thing lol. The characters do the things that they do because they do the things that they do... It may not always be the best idea, it may be a Rube Goldberg version of an idea... But they're doing it lol and if it works or it doesn't work it's it's a thing... And you do have a certain amount of sway in how that goes down.. mostly in that it ends up succeeding somehow lol.. But I mean especially for that time you had a lot more options than most games of that era as the RPG had soliddly committed towards the action RPG and adventure games were basically a non thing at that point after the PS2 era for a few years.. and even then like the idea of actually having bespoke interactions was such a rarity, or that they would affect the plot necessarily.. Even though if Fahrenheit is not exactly the best example of that.. It is an example of the basics and.. That's more than most these days lol or at least it used to be.. we're starting to see that may come back and I love it. I will say though.. I love this whole discussion about what is an RPGE lol because these are not forever terms lol and the internet discussion has fed into its or a boris about this stuff and it's hilarious.. Luke I remember there being too distinct ways to describe an RPG, you either could make decisions that would affect the outcome of the story or interactions with the characters that could affect and outcomes to a degree with autonomy.. or you had an action RPG... Where you had just the character stat relationship with tabletop mechanics of its inspiration.. and you just did action game stuff with leveling and usually a facade of the interface for the regular RPG but you wouldn't actually have any sort of you know input in that regard you just do the things.. to whatever degree that would go, Diablo is obviously our our basic bitch lol.. there were better, and to be honest like the adventure game had multiple endings long before the action RPG,. Like.. if you're not playing a role what would I do if I were in this scenario, or if I were them.. It should be allowed to be called an RPG in my opinion.. But apparently that thought process has gone away forever lol and what people think is the most important part of RPGs in their video essays is you know clearly one thing very specifically and everybody else is wrong and everybody else agrees with them and and God bless him for that bubble of brilliance I wish I could be that confident in how dumb I was... My life would be so much easier and nicer and simple and I would enjoy things..
There really is no game that hits *quite* like deadly premonition. It wears its references on its sleeves and never tries to be anything else. Plus that ✨️soundtrack✨️ bangs. The sequel is a game that exists!
I mean I’m not sure it makes it fun or even compared to its other surrealist games ( killer7, Alan Wake or Neir come to mind ). Yeah it has charm but compared to a Suda game it’s gameplay is way more awful
I love how the game opens. It took me until the show itself was mentioned to realize York was talking about the Tom and Jerry cartoon, so I thought he was discussing a gay couple he knew who do BDSM and have a reputation for it. That was not a reading of Tom and Jerry I was expecting to hear today
the part at the end of deadly premonition 2 where it feels like york's talking directly to the player made me cry when i played it but also made me burst into tears just hearing it again........ i love york so much, i'm so glad that he and zach can talk again because that made me SO upset that they had to be forced apart in 1
I would like to point out that you can become OP for the combat very quickly. After the hospital you can get access to an unlimited machine gun. Which will help you until you get the VERY missable unlimited Magnum, and later the unlimited RPG launcher. Even then if you keep the guitar you get from the rocker guy as it will 1-2 hit kill any enemy (even the wall creature) and doesn't take damage. I tend to give it back to him later in the game.
The driving in DP1 alone is something that needs to be experienced to be believed. Considering how much the game wants you to go around a mostly empty gigantic map to certain points of interest for sidequests, you'd think the driving wouldn't be complete absolute ass. It's like you're driving on the surface of the moon at 0 gravity but at the same time all the cars feel like slow giant trucks with stiff vile controls.
You neglected a few key things; The driving doesn't respect controller tilts, if you try to drive like Forza you'll learn that there isn't much control over your wheels. The other drivers are drunk drivers on rails whom can be unpredictable. There is night driving with monsters. *The turning is so bad.*
The sound effects of this game are so funny. The stock sound effects are one thing, but sometimes you'll recognize a sound effect somewhere just to realize you know it from Deadly Premonition. I've seen a Temu ad use the same sound as when you kill an enemy in this game.
I was in a Gamestop, a decade ago now, when I realized that I had a Buy One Get One coupon. I glanced around the room, saw a pretty spooky cover for a game I'd never heard of, and just grabbed it. It was Deadly Premonition! Going in completely blind with my College Roomates watching was...amazing.
The 1st game is one of my best experience ever in my entire life, not just gaming. The sequel/prequel did not hit that spot at all, but I still don't mind having played it. But it certaibnly didn't change my life. I wish it did, but alas.
Yeah I agree I was excited for the release even preorder it, but it didn’t have the same. Charm as the first one, haven’t finished the second one yet tho maybe 30%
I had always heard about this game over the years but until I watched the review from PointlessTV I never knew how amazingly entertaining and atmospheric it was for it's time! Gah I cannot get enough of York and the characters in general of this game, such a shame how two turned out. Could have had so much potential but I'm really glad to see another one of my favorite TH-camrs covering this awesome game as well! 😁
For me the opening scene in car is so hilarious. Dude is smoking. Looking at internet. Talking on the phone and just as I was wondering this is so over the top I wonder if he will crash he crashes the car. This seems highly unintendedly funny. Like they where just giving player exposition and plot kicks in with shadowy figure. This and other elements makes this a game that is so bad its good and only one ever that has scratched my room size itch. I can see the arguments of this being somewhat more intentional. I am open to other game suggestions that are more so bad they are good but I doubt I get many.
Alright now for the REAL QUESTIONS: Did anyone in these comments actually MAKE the “Sinner’s Sandwich”? I did a while back. My stomach still hasn’t quite forgiven me lol
When the first major Let's Play of the game (by Supergreatfrien) came out, there was an entire thread on the SA forums involving tons of people trying to make their own variations on it. Some... turned out better than others.
The Good Life also makes me think swery got lucky with deadly premonition. Also both DP2 and Good Life both go heavy on meta commentary on tedious fetch quests and grinding, tho in the case of Good Life (never played DP2) that doesnt make amy of it any less annoying, and the game will run this joke to the ground.
I fat-fingered typing in his name in the search bar and it was "Bjoulderpunch", now my head canon is he's from Iceland and talks about video games like Bjork talked about her TV in that one video.
I finished this game in october after getting halfway through back when it came out on pc. I tried DP2 but man, just didnt captivate me the same way. The magic in the first game just had me grinning from ear to ear the whole time even dealing with the fact that the game crashed often, the car made a constant absolutely HORRIBLE noise that NEVER went away and nearly drowned out all other audio including voices and did I mention the game crashed often? One of my most favorite gaming experiences I think I'll ever have. Absolutely amazing.
I have 1 & 2 on switch I haven’t finished 2 but I completed everything for one I love how quirky the whole game was, the glitches, the monologues, the dialogue This game holds a special place in my heart. ❤️
I saw this first with TotallyPointless TV, I forgot the game existed frankly. I played it so long ago. I'm happy it's getting attention again - probably because of the utter mess that is part 2. XD
This is one that didn't cross my radar at the time. I've heard of it since but never looked into it, it's been really interesting. I follow several content creators who do gaming retrospectives, each of you has your own style, yours is very relaxed and easy to listen to.
I absolutely love SWERY as a director. I think he is phenomenal when he has limitations and people around him. All of his work during his Access Games period were absolutely great, especially D4. That was his magnum opus, in my opinion, that unfortunately had to be abandoned once he left AG. I think part of why he had so much success was because he had a team of professionals around him who kept him grounded and understood what he was trying to achieve. With White Owls he had so much creative control all of his terrible ideas are able to exist without much pushback. Sure he had The Missing which many would consider the best game he has ever made and there is merit to that. But my LORD is DP2 and TGL absolutely horrible and it’s hard to believe the same director was integral to the game’s final release. I could understand DP2 not being as strong as the first as DP was lightning in a bottle but he also didn’t have much input in the creative process as he was working on Good Life. Which makes it all the more puzzling The Good Life turned out to be so terrible. Especially when the kickstarter demo was great! I’m hoping his collaboration with Suda is a return to form. If not, I don’t see the point in playing more SWERY games which breaks my heart.
or the goddamn devs should just port the perfectly fine original 360 version! but they dont give a fuck and after swery quit i doubt that anything will be done again in this franchise.
I follow the director/creator on Twitter. Originally, I wanted to ask him to revive D4: Dreams Don't Die, which I did. But he didn't. So, I decided to respect the fact that he probably won't revive the story.
I like DP2 a lot, but I'll be the first to say that it has padding and pacing issues. I think it gets written off by a lot of people as a cheap sequel, but there's moments of brilliance, like you said. I think we also really need to sing the praises of Jeff Kramer, the VA for York and Zach. The two characters have almost the same voice, but they have different tones. It's subtle, but it shows the care that went into the games.
In my honest opinion about deadly premonition THIS VIDEO GAME IS 100 PERCENT💯✨ perfect!! I believe nothing should be change about this game 🎮🎮🎮 the characters, music 🎶🎶🎶 the story is SoOo perfect!!✨✨ It's a masterpiece especially York one of the best male characters EVER!! ✨✨✨ It's in my top 3 in favorite video games the first 2 being Mass Effect & Far Cry 5
I love this game so much. I mean it's fucking terrible but has so much charm and as a huge fan of twin peaks this game is just... well theres nothing like it
after playing the first one and watching the seconf one, i still don´t understand what Forrest is supposed to be, an elder god? an inmortal demon? just a silly chucklefuck reflerence tu Swery´s friend?
As someone who'd initially didn't see the need for a sequel, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it, mainly for its story and main cast. I still generally prefer the first game, but find much of these grievances didn't bother me near as much as others. That being said, I've got 100% in most versions of the first game, whereas I opted not to bother with most of the side content in 2 at all aside from the more major stuff. Maybe that's why I don't feel the characters are as "one note", but rather just not as crucial to building up that same sense of a living breathing town. I really enjoyed doing all the extra skateboarding stuff with Emma, the whole Creole vs Cajun stuff, bowling, fixing the pipes in the hotel, getting each of the marbles even if Avery never seemed to be at the right place at the right time to give it to me, anything to do with Chuck despite the awful aiming controls and framerate seeming to effect skipping stones, finding all the fleur de lis though I think they should have all been available to start, and the aforementioned stuff with Danny and the missing doll and all. The thing that brings that all down for me, though, is despite adding weekdays, it is hardly ever a thing, let alone the schedule in general seems to matter much less for most side content, which just has me wondering why they put so much time into that. It was especially disappointing for me finding you can't go into peoples houses or even peek through their windows, minimizing the sense you're a detective. It used to baffle me that the sequel seemed to have less time and budget put into it in these aspects, but I guess you kinda put it in a way that makes sense bringing up The Good Life and how that may have effected development. It seems more time was put into putting all the more sim-like elements into that game...something I need to get back to at some point. In any case, I'm glad you've brought this all up as I feel much the same way about the first. I mean, I feel it can very much be enjoyed in that way that you can laugh at all its mistakes, but I feel it's kind of a miracle it works as well as it does with how long it was in a weird development cycle for, and really feel it stands on its own given how differently it turns out from Twin Peaks.

It's not called Twitter any more. It hasn't been called Twitter in like half a year.

Exactly.
But at least he has a memorable personality.@@lukemorgan6166
My favorite thing about the game is York's pop culture monolouges you can hear while driving.
He's like the me I'd like to have to talk to myself too.. But then we'd have s and it would get weird. I would end up having to settle just knowing there's another out there, and then I would feel sad again because they would be out forever with no likely probability of both happiness and a variable stream of consciousness analog.. they exist..

But basically the same job and largely the same pop culture skill sets in different avenues and tastes.. probably some different combat skills but.. ain't seen Jack reach or need to deal with supernatural shit so it'll work out..
The weird thing about the first game is that people are okay with this lol.. it's like like autism super fantasy, and I want it so bad, I'm not even that autistic just ADD if anything what's the OCD. But I can roll with the autism.. they can't always roll with me lol.. But he could obviously that's that's what he does lol.. He's got his human skin on, and he sure likes how it fits!

I had always heard about this game over the years but until I watched the review from PointlessTV I never knew how amazingly entertaining and atmospheric it was for it's time! Gah I cannot get enough of York and the characters in general of this game, such a shame how two turned out. Could have had so much potential but I'm really glad to see another one of my favorite TH-camrs covering this awesome game as well! 😁
Halfway through and I’ve seen so many cutscenes I never had experienced before. Thank you again and again for this video.
This game is the sole reason I discovered Twin Peaks.
This video is my fresh cup of coffee this morning.
No matter how good or bad this game is perceived to be, I'll always be thankful for that whistling tune.
For me the opening scene in car is so hilarious. Dude is smoking. Looking at internet. Talking on the phone and just as I was wondering this is so over the top I wonder if he will crash he crashes the car.
This seems highly unintendedly funny. Like they where just giving player exposition and plot kicks in with shadowy figure. This and other elements makes this a game that is so bad its good and only one ever that has scratched my room size itch.
I can see the arguments of this being somewhat more intentional.
I am open to other game suggestions that are more so bad they are good but I doubt I get many.
York consuming the entire sundae in one gulp is so funny
Alright now for the REAL QUESTIONS:
Did anyone in these comments actually MAKE the “Sinner’s Sandwich”? I did a while back. My stomach still hasn’t quite forgiven me lol
When the first major Let's Play of the game (by Supergreatfrien) came out, there was an entire thread on the SA forums involving tons of people trying to make their own variations on it.
Some... turned out better than others.
@@FlashNeko417 dang musta messed up the recipe then.
I did, used corn flakes and a really good jam and it was kind of amazing stoner food.
Over 2 hours of Deadly Premonition? Let's fing gooooooooo! Wooo!
Appreciated the reference to Best Friends Play! Matt and Pat’s LP of the first game was my first exposure to it, lol.
The Good Life also makes me think swery got lucky with deadly premonition.
Also both DP2 and Good Life both go heavy on meta commentary on tedious fetch quests and grinding, tho in the case of Good Life (never played DP2) that doesnt make amy of it any less annoying, and the game will run this joke to the ground.
Zach? yes..this is the coffee we needed right now .
I fat-fingered typing in his name in the search bar and it was "Bjoulderpunch", now my head canon is he's from Iceland and talks about video games like Bjork talked about her TV in that one video.
underrated comment
God I love the deadly premonition series sweary is literally one of my favorite devs
Hungan is most likely a reference to a certain Loa (a spirit/being) of the Voodoo, Baron Samehdi.
F K in the coffee.
I knew I could count on it.
It never fails. 😁
I finished this game in october after getting halfway through back when it came out on pc. I tried DP2 but man, just didnt captivate me the same way. The magic in the first game just had me grinning from ear to ear the whole time even dealing with the fact that the game crashed often, the car made a constant absolutely HORRIBLE noise that NEVER went away and nearly drowned out all other audio including voices and did I mention the game crashed often? One of my most favorite gaming experiences I think I'll ever have. Absolutely amazing.
The tire screech sound effect is used in Duke Nukem 3D.
The car breaks screeching sound is still the best in gaming
The first Deadly Premonition is one of my favorite games of all time,Francis York Morgan is an amazing FBI Special Agent.
tl;dr of the whole game:
that fear you had as a kid accidentally eating an apple or watermelon seed and it'll grow a tree in your belly
OH what a fantastic surprise to see early in the morning! Can't wait to watch this
Zach looks like John Carpenter when he is older
I have 1 & 2 on switch I haven’t finished 2 but I completed everything for one
I love how quirky the whole game was, the glitches, the monologues, the dialogue
This game holds a special place in my heart. ❤️
I saw this first with TotallyPointless TV, I forgot the game existed frankly. I played it so long ago. I'm happy it's getting attention again - probably because of the utter mess that is part 2. XD
7:31 this entire scene is a meme
I adore these games
This is one that didn't cross my radar at the time. I've heard of it since but never looked into it, it's been really interesting. I follow several content creators who do gaming retrospectives, each of you has your own style, yours is very relaxed and easy to listen to.
Emily + the first game had so much heart
I absolutely love SWERY as a director. I think he is phenomenal when he has limitations and people around him.
All of his work during his Access Games period were absolutely great, especially D4. That was his magnum opus, in my opinion, that unfortunately had to be abandoned once he left AG. I think part of why he had so much success was because he had a team of professionals around him who kept him grounded and understood what he was trying to achieve.
With White Owls he had so much creative control all of his terrible ideas are able to exist without much pushback. Sure he had The Missing which many would consider the best game he has ever made and there is merit to that. But my LORD is DP2 and TGL absolutely horrible and it’s hard to believe the same director was integral to the game’s final release. I could understand DP2 not being as strong as the first as DP was lightning in a bottle but he also didn’t have much input in the creative process as he was working on Good Life. Which makes it all the more puzzling The Good Life turned out to be so terrible. Especially when the kickstarter demo was great!
I’m hoping his collaboration with Suda is a return to form. If not, I don’t see the point in playing more SWERY games which breaks my heart.
Hold on, was Billy Kametz a part of the voice cast in DP2?
Merry Christmas Zach, and to Boulder Punch too. Hope you watch Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes over the break.
I loved Deadly Premonition, but to me George was enough, I didn't need Kaysen being the ultimate villain.
I would love to see a Night Dive remaster for this game
or the goddamn devs should just port the perfectly fine original 360 version! but they dont give a fuck and after swery quit i doubt that anything will be done again in this franchise.
I follow the director/creator on Twitter. Originally, I wanted to ask him to revive D4: Dreams Don't Die, which I did. But he didn't. So, I decided to respect the fact that he probably won't revive the story.
Yeah that's a touchy subject for him, perhaps too touchy. He even block people who ask him about this game.
@@Nov-5062 I'm sorry, I didn't know.
This video is a wonderful Christmas present. Cheers!
I have to mention that watching you controlling York’s car is giving me anxiety.
i dislike the models used in number 2. they look like something from an adult 3D ad, you know the ones
You ate a lot _!_
I like DP2 a lot, but I'll be the first to say that it has padding and pacing issues. I think it gets written off by a lot of people as a cheap sequel, but there's moments of brilliance, like you said.
I think we also really need to sing the praises of Jeff Kramer, the VA for York and Zach. The two characters have almost the same voice, but they have different tones. It's subtle, but it shows the care that went into the games.
everyone should just play the 360 version of the game because it's the least broken
The sequel was pure distilled reddit cringe
Sometimes I wonder if half of the stuff in this game was me having a fever dream. Then I replay it and no, it's just that odd of a game
Just to add the first game was 20 dollars at release. I feel that should also be a factor in why this game is good.
In my honest opinion about deadly premonition THIS VIDEO GAME IS 100 PERCENT💯✨ perfect!! I believe nothing should be change about this game 🎮🎮🎮 the characters, music 🎶🎶🎶 the story is SoOo perfect!!✨✨ It's a masterpiece especially York one of the best male characters EVER!! ✨✨✨
It's in my top 3 in favorite video games the first 2 being Mass Effect & Far Cry 5
The first game just looks and sounds like a Garrys Mod fan video. Amazing.
Glad you're doing this, couldn't get mine to work :P
damn the ending of both games actually get to me lmao
Mah dry bread did a nice playthough of these.
the ALR reference gave me whiplash
oo the joy of see this pop up in my feed :D
This review was very long
But I watched it and thought it was quite the bomb
So says Mr. Stewart
Neat, Disco Elysium before it was a thing. Funny how Devs approach similar concepts with wildly different styles.
Oh yeah ive been waiting for this
Ahh, an early Christmas present...
Talking about the movies and skulls sounds like me
Twin peaks the game.
Epic! I asked about this in the Game awards stream! ;)
DP2 need more a mod/remake that fixes the gameplay than a sequel.
A Christmas gift
I love this game so much. I mean it's fucking terrible but has so much charm and as a huge fan of twin peaks this game is just... well theres nothing like it
Finally happy to see you review this game (DP1). This is by far my favorite game of all time. One of my cult favorites. Shame DP2 sucked so bad.
You think the shaving part inspired donnie Wahlberg
after playing the first one and watching the seconf one, i still don´t understand what Forrest is supposed to be, an elder god? an inmortal demon? just a silly chucklefuck reflerence tu Swery´s friend?
Yes please.
As someone who'd initially didn't see the need for a sequel, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it, mainly for its story and main cast. I still generally prefer the first game, but find much of these grievances didn't bother me near as much as others. That being said, I've got 100% in most versions of the first game, whereas I opted not to bother with most of the side content in 2 at all aside from the more major stuff. Maybe that's why I don't feel the characters are as "one note", but rather just not as crucial to building up that same sense of a living breathing town. I really enjoyed doing all the extra skateboarding stuff with Emma, the whole Creole vs Cajun stuff, bowling, fixing the pipes in the hotel, getting each of the marbles even if Avery never seemed to be at the right place at the right time to give it to me, anything to do with Chuck despite the awful aiming controls and framerate seeming to effect skipping stones, finding all the fleur de lis though I think they should have all been available to start, and the aforementioned stuff with Danny and the missing doll and all.
The thing that brings that all down for me, though, is despite adding weekdays, it is hardly ever a thing, let alone the schedule in general seems to matter much less for most side content, which just has me wondering why they put so much time into that. It was especially disappointing for me finding you can't go into peoples houses or even peek through their windows, minimizing the sense you're a detective. It used to baffle me that the sequel seemed to have less time and budget put into it in these aspects, but I guess you kinda put it in a way that makes sense bringing up The Good Life and how that may have effected development. It seems more time was put into putting all the more sim-like elements into that game...something I need to get back to at some point.
In any case, I'm glad you've brought this all up as I feel much the same way about the first. I mean, I feel it can very much be enjoyed in that way that you can laugh at all its mistakes, but I feel it's kind of a miracle it works as well as it does with how long it was in a weird development cycle for, and really feel it stands on its own given how differently it turns out from Twin Peaks.
I've got to try this game out
Guess I will actually have to try these. I always worried there would be time limits.
I've been meaning to play DP for a while. Is the switch port any good? It's the version I own.
Loving the Amberlynn Reid mention lmao
The pc versions are modable. They fix some of the bugs.
The first one is great, the sequel...I wish it never happened tbh.
oh hell yeah
