Damn, really? I fully expected jank and technical issues - some of which add to the charm - but this is another level. I can't play games that don't include the option to invert the camera.
I was looking forward to starting this after work but now I'll just have to wait for a patch, whenever that may come.

Amazing!
I just finished Cat People 1982 as it is the inciting incident of the plot. Holy shit is it a slog. Not recommended but at least I finally saw it. Paul Schrader movies are so eclectic in range and I can kinda see why York views it as "realistic". Malcolm McDowell sucks in the film but looks like a young Michael Shannon. 5/10

It´s theme isn´t Bowie´s best but good. So strange.
The game has many of the old tracks deathsaber. Some are diegetic. The new soundtrack is actually good good and not bad good.
Forgot: The original Cat People (1942) ain´t bad. Nothing special but very influential on the genre. I wonder if York saw it? Probably too artsy.

I'm really tempted to get it. At the same time, I have a feeling it will be on sale. Still, I have to wonder how hard it will be to find a physical copy in a few months so I'll probably but the bullet. But I won't touch it for a while. Out of any other game out this year, it's a miracle DP2 exists.
So I got the radio from Melvin early on but it's not in my inventory and can't use it.
I assume it's similar to how it's used in the first game. Anyone know what I might be missing?

key items are in a different menu, look around in the red room and you'll find it. and:
thanks for the tip. i need to do that.
I think I'm going to put this aside for awhile and hope for a patch that improves performance. I'm sort of enjoying it but the current state of it is taking a lot of the fun out of it for me.

That's a harsh take on Cat People but York also takes an early shot at 2001 in favor of 2010. He's a weird dude with weird opinions.
Must have missed the thread. And only 5GB? Is this game really short?
Here's the thread combining everything:

No idea on length, I've stopped playing after two hours until they patch it.

Okay. Thanks. And yeah I'm seeing a lot of people complain about performance. Shame.
Performance was really bumming me out, I have to say, but I was gritting my teeth and getting through it. Then the game crashed and I was like, you know what, I legit love so much about this right now that I just can't continue for the moment. I'll wait to see what the patches look like and make a dent in my Switch backlog in the meantime.
Seems to be comparable in length or even longer than DP1. One review mentioned 20h for the story, Chemi_ro said she spent 40+ hours as a completionist.
Only played an hour, barely scratched the surface, but boy is it a joy to be back with Agent Morgan
His monologue about how Michel Bay's The Island going to change cinema had me dying
A side mission is supposed to open up after I return to the hotel from inspecting the food supply. But I just got to the hotel and don't see it. Where should I be looking?
I didn't really replay chapters until after I finished the game but believe so yes
York continues to be a gloriously engaging protagonist. The dialogue in this might be even better than the first so far. They front load a lot of the lunchtime discussion writing style from DP1 into the actual intro and act 1 gameplay this time around instead of starting with awful combat.
It feels like sub 15fps and looks hideous in the open world. "Pacing problems" makes most people think of Bloodborne where a more apt comparison is flipping through screenshots. This is the first time since 1998 I've been able to count frames in real time.
Portable is sub HD yes (576p or so), the NXGamer analysis found single digits FPS at times.
Ouch. I'll wait on a purchase then. Hope they bother with fixing it.
Oh wait you've taken the wrong message. I fully recommend everyone play this before they fix it. This is a spectacle that needs to be experienced to be understood
Finding the water valve was a confusing quest
but finding the spinach !!! oh my god
And i have two more items to find for sidequests and not a single walkthrough in sight for it ;_;

LOL, yeah, but $50 for a broken framerate is a little hard to swallow right now. Maybe I'll watch a clip or two.
Outside of the horrible framerate (it's even worse than the oriignal game) I really enjoy it. It's 100% Deadly Premonition. Still on the first day, though.
I'm trying to do the hotel shower side quest and it tells me I should talk to the bell boy. But I can't ring the bell at the bell boy desk as Dave is standing only at the other desk. What am I doing wrong? How I can summon him? Does anyone know?

2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984) starts off pretty good but loses itself toward the halfway mark Net_Wrecker. 6/10 The book is better but Clarke liked the film even if he wasn´t involved with it. Both versions of 2001 are a 10/10 with the "companion novel" by Arthur C. Clarke explaining everything in detail. Including the ending. Clarke co-wrote the screenplay and his explanation of the 3rd act is confirmed canon by Kubrick.

York´s cinematic opinions in DP 2 are much more out there this time. He was just a hardcore movie buff like me last time but he is full-blown critic jail worthy this time. I love it. He was rambling about the Cat People remake and Blue Thunder even in the first game btw. At the very end:

Film References in Deadly Premonition
Deadly Premonition's charm partly comes from its awareness and discussion of 1970's, 80's and 90's cinema. This is a list of films mentioned in the game: A Clockwork Orange (1971) Alligator (1980) An American Werewolf in London (1981) Arachnophobia (1990) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)...

So it turned out the game order wasn't delayed and they sent me a message to pick it up.
I have played it for a while and it is great to return to the world of Deadly Premonition and meet York again. I gotta say though, the first game was more interesting compared to this so far. It was way more magical and paced better.
The standout characters so far are Patti and Aaliyah.

I felt really sad seeing the state Zach was in. Seems he had it really rough after York left him. Poor guy.
It only counts when you talk to them without using the bell i think
You gotta be in the hotel at specific time frames, bellboy appears sometime in the morning, chef in the evening

Ah, thank you very much! Figured it must be a time thing. Good to know, thank you!
If that's the one that's supposed to happen after coming back from the Clarkson Food Supply I'm not getting it.
Just trying to see if it's a bug and I need to restart
After finishing the bowling quest for me. I went back to the hotel for the shower quest and bam.
Loving the game so far. Is there any way to mark side quests on the map as in the original, though? I don't know where I have to do most of them.
And...do characters go to diferent places depending on the time (as in the original)? I have played up to the bowling alley, but nothing appears on the map, unlike DP1, where every character was marked on it.

Yea it just unlocked for me after the bowling quest.
so think you need to do both of the main quests than it unlocks
Even attempting to ignore the atrocious performance ruining the experience, I'm pretty disappointed in this so far.
Every character being so extremely wacky makes it feel more like D4 than DP. York feels kinda flanderized with every second line being a movie reference, it also kinda lacks all the attempts at atmosphere of the original, with boring long-ass static conversations without even auto advancing dialogue.

I really hate that most of the dialogue doesn't auto play/continue unless there's an option I'm missing
I really wish they would auto play. I hate having to press to continue and the fully voiced (atleast so far) dialogue makes the auto advancing feel missed.
Played for a few hours now, dunno how I entirely feel just yet. Makes me feel weirdly nostalgic for the first game in a way? DP1 just kind of throws you into everything while here it took what felt like forever to actually take control. Framerate is atrocious, I don't know how they thought they could launch it in this state. I'm hoping for the story to grab me since I heard mostly good things, but right now the writing isn't vibing with me as much as the original.
