Bought this literally the second it hit the store. And I'll probably double dip on the collectors edition. This game is just so fucking weird, nothing else like it exists.
I hate to admit, but I actually haven't finished the game yet in my multiple copies and playthroughs I've done. I always get a decent chunk in and fall off for one reason or another. With DP2 announced, and this port existing, this is the push I needed to finally get this game finished. I'm extremely excited for it.
I hope the sound issues are worked out (probably won't be), but even so, this game can somehow get away with it's shittiness being part of it's charm?

I'm gonna wait a few weeks before I double dip. Maybe there will be a sale. If not, I'm just waiting until my backlog is slightly smaller. Damn me for buying FF8 and Torchlight II on the switch this week already!
I had to play the PC directors cut in borderless window with my task bar hidden to stop it from crashing.
It's all part of the experience lol

For people on the fence, I think another demographic that might appreciate this game would be Yakuza fans, especially those who love the off the rails goofy substories.
Oh nice, I think I like yours more haha

Horror akin to Twin Peaks.
Think Alan Wake but more goofy and with 80% less combat.
4 hours in and it's almost mind-numbingly easy (which is good because the combat is just plain not fun).
It's not hard at all and apart from moving around sporadically to close in on you the enemies are slow as hell
It can be really tedious and has some difficulty spikes.
However there are some really easy sidequests that give infinite durability/ammo weapons that are lifesavers. Even just the infinite wrench is enough to help you breeze through it.
Later in the game you would def want at least one of the better inf ammo guns tho
You start the game with an infinite pistol. Is that new to this version? That's basically all I've needed so far.
This game was so so shitty, but I cannot deny the uniqueness and charm of the characters/story/dialogue. Its why I have the original 360 and the PS3 director's cut. There aren't many games like it.
I wonder if the sequel will be more polished.

The inf pistol is ok but since it's really low power it can made things tedious. It was always in the game though.
Like, you can get by with just the inf machine gun and the guitar and you're probably set for even the more difficult parts. The starter pistol can do the job but might make boss fights 5x-10x as long
IIRC the Director's Cut version which I presume this is based on made things a lot easier. The enemy that crawls on the ceiling especially takes a lot fewer hits, I think that was basically a wall for a lot of people in the 360 version.
I read that one of the versions of this game significantly upgraded its damage. It takes literally two shots to kill basically any of the enemies I've encountered in the first 5 hours. Is that different from what you experienced?
I never played the directors cut but the above posts said the difficulty and damage was reworked. In the original game the starter pistol was fine for regular enemies but any of the stronger ones it was a pain.
Still haven't seen any confirmation whether this version has the DC tweaks
Gotcha, thanks. As of now I'd say this does because it's been extremely easy (outside of the QTEs in the prologue) but I guess I'll find out whenever I get to a boss.
Just finished downloading and am only in the very first room with the twins, but I'm ready to say it is a lot better than the PS3 version. This area was the first of many to run at about 12fps in that version.
I've always been interested in this game... If this port is decent, I'll buy it when the physical release is ready
Handheld looks pretty good. Seems to be native 720p. I didn't notice a performance difference between docked and handheld.
I don't know what the resolution in docked mode is. It does not appear to have AA though.
So, according to the deadlypremonition subreddit, where it seems a PR person commented regarding the technical issues of the port, the dev team is aware of the sound issues and working on a patch to be released soon. Let's hope that's accurate.
Definitely.
The characters feel as if they would be in Yakuza had Nagoishi made a twin peaks game.
One of them near the very end of the game was a fucking nightmare with the slowdown on PS3.
It's great to see impressions from people new to the series. [Holy shit, did I just say "series"? This is a series now?!] Stick with it, and keep sharing your impressions. There is something pretty substantial beneath the goofy charm in the end.
It's easy at times and bullshit at times. Just put it on easy and, as others have said, get the infinite weapons early (by prioritizing the in-game side quests instead of advancing the main story). They're something to be endured instead of enjoyed, so you don't diminish the experience at all by making it as easy as possible.

I believe I mentioned the easy difficulty earlier too. I forgot that the DC removed the difficulty selection screen and instead now just has a single difficulty. It's apparently much easier though.
The sound occasionally just cuts out completely. Like, no sounds come out.
Glad to see Swery tweet about a patch, I really want to get it assuming they fix things up.
Sure would have been nice if they had cared as much with the PC release though. That was such a mess.

Can't imagine how frustrating it must be on SWERY's end for all these different ports to have problems and be (up to this point) unsupported. I hope he is able to get some traction with this.
Very important, what's being said here is actually not true:
This version is based on the Director's Cut, which got rid of difficulty options and just made the whole game extremely easy. There are zero difficulty spikes or challenges of any kind here.

When they do fix the audio I kinda hope there's something left over that's inexplicably a little off about this version too. Nothing that would hamper the game though.
It will be nice to have a definitive console version once the patch rolls through.
They have a pretty big incentive to fix this version, as they need to build an audience for the sequel.
