Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut

i can't keep the fucking game open longer than 5 seconds, and that's with both the community fix and the 4gb patch
do yourself a favor and just play the ps3 version

i think this game is not physically playable

well zach here we go again.

Muito bom gostei de mais recomendo

RIP David Lynch

STILL CONFUSING AND AMAZING YEARS LATER

Stay away! I would not recommend this port at all. I'm still stuck in Chapter 1 and have crashed eleven times so far, to the point where I just can't continue. This is a game better experienced through a lore video or a YouTube playthrough because, dear lord, it's one of the worst ports I've ever encountered. The controls are completely inverted, with looking up and down and left and right switched, and trying to get it to run in windowed mode is a nightmare. Even after installing a mod meant to fix these issues, the game continued to crash constantly. It didn't even happen during demanding cutscenes or timed events, just driving a car down the street would cause it to crash. It's frustrating beyond belief and absolutely not worth the headache.

For as delightfully weird and oddly charming as this game is, this port has too many performance issues for me to really recommend, even with the DPFix mod. Personally I plan to try again some other day, update my review then, but for now I'd suggest avoiding this port unless it's on sale and you're very curious

Pure distilled kino. There need to be more games like this.

Pretty garbage port though, it crashes all the time so make sure to save often. Also recommend following a walkthrough to make sure you get to see all the side quests.

This game is a survival survival horror game, you have a food meter to manage as well. I had a bug of the map not closing one time, and being unable to pick up a lollipop, but apart from that it starts up and runs without any issue. It's quite difficult to aim the gun, it almost drags the cross-hair to their stomach so you have to wrangle it into a headshot, I prefer the melee weapons. The story seems very interesting but the game-play itself is a bit too hacker slash-y for me (quite a few enemies in a small area that re-spawn quickly), so will probably drop it, but that's me more than the game.

Greatest game anyone has ever created, This is a masterpiece and deserves GOTY

The most unique game I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
It Is so bizarre and uncanny, and that's what makes the game great, if you are a horror fan or Twin Peaks fan, don't pass up on this game.

Deadly Premonition is the hottest mess ever and yet it's delivered with such fervor that you can't help but enjoy the story and look back on it fondly.
-Right zach?!

quite possibly one of the worst ports ever, but its always on sale for less than $2 so if u really wanna play and have literally no other way too then its doable with mods and caution

Hey Zach, this coffee... it says to save every 3 minutes because the game will fucking crash

There’s definitely something in this town. Do you feel it, Zach? My coffee warned me about it.

I enjoyed the weirdness of this game and it was easy to stay engaged with the different gameplay styles (running around, fighting enemies, sidequests and cutscenes). None if it was that hard either.
The major issue is this game crashed so consistantly it doesn't feel worth recommending on this platform. Also, this is totally a me problem that I think I could fix, but playing with the Switch Pro Controller the camera controls are rotated 90 degrees, i.e. "looking left" actually looks up, "looking up" actually looks right, etc.

We got our happy ending - right York?

hey zach, this coffee.. it says this game is great and you should buy it

Got it cheap but be prepared to jump through hoops outside the game just to get it to run properly

OOB this game sucks and no shot its getting fixed. You NEED to look up guides on a bunch of issues and mods to fix it into a semi playable state and even then you'll be getting a mix bag of an experience so really it should be a skip right?

Despite all of this nonsense I've played this game 3 times with the last one being a completion run so it has some kinda hold on me. Its one of those games that if it clicks with you it really clicks with you to a point where you'll find yourself randomly thinking about once every few years.

very fun b game and does live up to the title of a cult classic but the biggest issue of this game is the constant crashes that occur and needs to be direly fixed through an update or else the game is just broken at this point and at times unplayable.

hardlocked because the game immediately crashes after loading my last save, great game tho

Hey Zach, what's your opinion for this game? Of course it's so bad, it's so bad and love it to play it again just like the old time.

Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut

Devs are lazy to fix the game so we should do it for them. If you are ready to spend hours trying to fix the crashes go on. Aside from that, the story is one of the best out there.

This game will take a lot of patience. Chapters 1-9 are filled with hard crashes bugs and stuttering but nothing you cant resolve looking through google and reddit. Once you get past that you will find that this game is very enjoyable. A pretty large open world and a servicable mystery story. I got both 1 &2 for $5 and it was MORE than worth it. This is a very polarizing game. You either love it or hate it. I love it and I do recommend it.

Buggy mess. Couldn't move at the very beginning of the game. Loaded "Xbox controller enhanced features driver", then I could move. Walked out of a car crash, was given option to save game (said "yes"). Couldn't move. Tried un- and re-installing driver; still couldn't move.

When I re-started the game, I did not have a "load game" option, even though I had supposedly created a save file.

Read numerous posts about how this game won't work unless you download this, install that, etc...

Only dropped a buck plus change, so I'm not TOO pissed, but c'mon -- if you're gonna offer something for sale, can't ya at least make sure it works? It's not even basically functional AT ALL ...

David Lynch presents Pathologic

I actually enjoy the game itself for what it is (extremely flawed, dated gameplay, but quirky and entertaining scenes and writing clearly an homage to David Lynch). But this port crashes so, SO frequently its practically unplayable. I'm currently hardlocked and can't move anywhere on the map without crashing within 15 seconds, and prior I was experiencing frequent sudden crashes as well. Mods were necessary for me to make the game's framerate go above, no joke, 10fps and clean up whatever was causing horrendous blur and fuzziness. I want to like this game, but I just can't recommend it even at a dollar price as it's literally unplayable in this port with all the crashing.

Aun estando más bugeado que un juego promedio de ubisoft sigue siendo puro deleite

Great story

Love this game crashes and all.

These premonitions sure are deadly around here

good idea, terrible execution(choices of game mechanics, even plot gets too weird with plot holes), god awful port version

if you are really interested in specifics i can name them but trust me its not worth it. If a remaster by a bloober team comes out I would probably recommend it

Swerys Finest Production. Incredible narrative rife with japjank comedy, mystery and spiritual significance. Takes a lot from Twin Peaks but sets itself apart enough that it's worth it in it's own right. The cult success from this game and the unfortunate early death of D4 is what I believe has caused him to get lazy in his future products, but DP will always remain a fine gem and well worth your time, IF you can get it to launch...

That's the catch-22 of this port. I recommend buying the steam license on sale and spending the first 2 hour refund period seeing if you can even play it, because there's a good chance that even with every fix applied it simply won't run on your system. It's not enough to make me thumbs down, but it's a most shameful fate that a game that hits its high notes so well is treated with absolutely zero care on the technical side. It must be the solemn reality of having an auteur director with almost no budget.

Here's hoping Swery and his team get another chance. I could see something incredible coming out of a merger between them and Ryu Ga Gotoku.

dude this port is BAD, like unfinishable bad

It's like twin peaks.

This SUCKS its a 2013 Game but it has LOW graphics.... kinda reminds me of a 2003 game... the movements are GARBAGE

I'm glad that you were here, Mr. Lynch.

We are gonna miss you a lot David Lynch.
Thanks for everything.

This is a great great great game but do not recommend spending money on this version of the game as it literally does not play. 9/10 though, solid experience!

I was actually having plenty of fun until suddenly in chapter 5 the game became Quick Time Event button mashing ragebait, PRESS ADADADADADADADADAD IN 3 SECONDS, PRESS F NOW WITHIN 1 SECOND, NOW R, NOW LMB, NOW C, what the hell is this garbage, I thought it was supposed to be a crime novel with shooting elements, not this cringe. What did they had in their heads designing this 'gameplay'? If you want cool crime story shooter, what about BUTTON MASHING NOW, BEACH. Duck you too, I'm never gonna buy another game from these developers, they deliberately want you to rage at a screen. It's a conscious douchebag design.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT BUY FULL PRICE.

Best game I've ever played. First 10/10 of my life.

i dont get it why people hate this game so much its even better then resident evil

It's a little funny that people are complaining about a bad port of this game, not knowing that the original game worked much worse than this port.
It's a good game, but unless you're ready to experience the pain of humanity after the advent of ubisoft games and battle passes, it's best to ignore this game.

An ambitious, unconventional and gripping game held back somewhat by a low budget and technical problems. This game will really fight you at times and you've got to push on. Twin Peaks X RE4 X Silent Hill X a lot of other things. If you want a truly unique experience I cannot recommend this enough.

Quick summary of what I used: DPFix patch (settings tweaked to taste), Deadly Premonition Controller+ Steam input layout (this one fixes the right stick. The game also has issues with triggers, so swaps trigger and button functionality). Set Win95 compatibility for the games .exe's and then restart your PC so you can up/down further (You can get by without it, but you NEED that aiming later on to beat that game). See PCGamingWiki page for details.

PRO TIPS
- Save save save save save save. Save often.
- Back up your saves often. As often as you want, for me that was every 2 hours or so, just in case.
- The game has a tendency to crash and be hard locked during a certain chapter (8 or 9 roughly? Smoke cigs inside the diner before leaving. See PCGW.) Keep all your saves just in case!. Your save is in the game's main folder with the .exe, in the file "savedata" called dp.
- YOU CAN LEAVE STORY MISSIONS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE. They just take place the next day, so don't feel bad about leaving them for side stuff. No Dead Rising "SCOOP LOST!" here. However, you CAN miss side missions, say... if anything happens to who gives you them...
- Some story missions "flow together", so you can't do side stuff with certain people between them.
- Side missions, there's a great steam guide for them listing how to find, start and do them: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=775095092
- DO MISSION 4 (Dumbbell), THEN 5 (get a flower when it's raining) ASAP! It unlocks fast travel to anywhere you've been before with the Radio. YOU REALLY WANT THIS.
- The Spirit Maps you can buy from The Milk Barn store (talk to the rocker bro!) lead you to brief combat gauntlets and reward you with infinite ammo upgraded weapons, get them.
- Do side missions 24, 23, then 25 (they are rather short, don't worry, a cinch with fast travel too) to get increased item slots.
- Play darts and beat the high score at SWERY65 to earn increased weapon slots.

Despite being unplayable without like tons of mods, BUT when finally get it rolling man this game is masterpiece in every aspect, outdated but you will have fun with it.

love this game its so incredibly broken in the most nostalgic way possible, 10/10 would complete once every 3 years.

I fucking love this game. I really really do.

But if you are not mentally ill enough to enjoy suffering trough crashes all the time, i wouldn't recommend playing it on PC.
However, IF you ARE,, give this game a shot.

There is something very indeering about it..... The old graphics, the bad late dialogue and the weird ass music... it's so so good.
