You should probably watch it because it's actually incredible.
Like Deadly Premonition, it's polarising. Some will say it's the best thing ever made, others will say it's the worst. Give it a watch but IMO if you think it's not for you early on, you probably won't change your mind by the end.
Have yet to watch S3 of Twin Peaks myself, but it would be disappointing if it turned out to be worse than S2 (which was already a mixed bag).
FWIW, I like but wasn't crazy about O.G. Twin Peaks, and I thought The Return was a (frequently frustrating) masterpiece, with one of the best series finales of all time. It builds on the S2 finale and Fire Walk With Me in remarkable ways.
Woops. Been reading too much Mark Fisher.
I mostly agree, Season 3 feels experimental and closer to some weird Lynch movie than to the original show, but as S2 was really boring until the last episodes, the change to something more unique was good.Twin Peaks S3 is great. It's for sure not for everyone, which is fine. The craftsmanship is definitely there, however. I liked it much more than S2 (S1 is still king for me personally, though).
I don't disagree on any point. I'm not saying it succeeded at its goal, just saying it's not nonsense.Ok, but If there's a reason behind all that abstraction that nobody can work our but you and your buddy because you've spoken about it, is it worthwhile? I'd argue no.
Twin peaks lost its way after season 1 anyway. Right amount of weird in a small setting with a great cast of characters. A simple driving force to the whole thing, ie the murder.
Which is the feeling DP evokes for me and why I want to play it again, to wrap it back round as I've massively derailed this OT.
As for Deadly Premonition... so I've never played this game but have obviously I've heard a lot about it. I had not seen Twin Peaks when it came out but I've since rectified that. Set the tone for me: Is this like the B movie parody video game version of Twin Peaks? Cause I'm down with that. Is D4 representative of what to expect here (except with really bad controls)? Since prices for 360 & PS3 physical copies have jumped up it seems like the Steam version might be both the best and cheapest way to play the game.
The Switch version seems to be a port of the original 360 version and at least in terms of content the PS3 & PC versions are the same. Has anyone here played the PS3 version with Move controllers? I ask as playing D4 with the Kinect was actually a great way to play the game so if playing this with Move controllers is fun then that might tip me towards the PS3 version.
Yeah, I had to pull the trigger on the CE, but I can't justify buying it twice right now, so I'm going to have to wait till that CE arrives to play it.I want the Collector's Edition so badly.
but I want the game for October.
I cry.

More on topic: I too am waiting for the patch. I have very low tolerance for jank, but I'm willing to give this game a try once it's more stable. Maybe it'll be on sale by then.

Just an FYI, the DC content you're referring to isn't very significant. A large portion of people argue the 360 version is superior to the Directors Cut. The added cut scenes are pretty minor.
This is also less parody and more heartfelt loveletter. All Swery games feel like they have a lot of uh, compassion and warmth to them.
If the PC version is anything to go by, this may be as good as it gets. We might get one more patch. I believe we got 2 or 3 for the PC, fixing some sound issues and the broken controller support. Never added resolution support above 720p though I believe.Driving performance definitely isn't fixed yet. Though I've driven around a bit and the in-car conversations have been present. So looks promising for the audio aspect, engine noise aside.
Yeah, it seems like the Director's Cut content is pretty universally considered not great though I'm kind of curious why that is. Again though, if the PC version is a good port or is the Move controls add anything to the PS3 versions then those versions are still potentially interesting to me.
On a scale of Lynch's other work where does s3 place? My favourite Lynch works is Inland Empire.This might be the single worst take I've ever seen on this website. Season 3 might be the best season of television ever produced.
Don't listen to them, it lives up to the legacy more than I ever anticipated it would. It's deliberate, slow, and doesn't give you all the satisfying answers you probably desire, but it's purposeful and one of the most unique media experiences I've ever had.

It's quite possibly the Lynchiest thing he's ever made. You can tell in S1 and S2 of Twin Peaks that they roped him in and the content was obviously shared between him and Mark Frost being at least somewhat traditional for the most part. S3 feels so so so much more like a Lynch production, it's like an entire season of the most surreal singular episodes from S1 and S2. I haven't seen Inland Empire (I really need to) so unfortunately I can't compare, but if you have seen Fire Walk With Me, it's tonally much more similar to that film than it is regular Twin Peaks.On a scale of Lynch's other work where does s3 place?

Twin Peaks is about a teenage girl molested, abused, and murdered by her father explored through many methods. Some understandably confusing as this is unpleasant subject matter people don't like spending time thinking about and even when they do doesn't mean it all makes sense. Season 3 is no exception.Ok, but If there's a reason behind all that abstraction that nobody can work our but you and your buddy because you've spoken about it, is it worthwhile? I'd argue no.
Playing the PC version for the first time having played it on 360 back in the day — I don't remember the handbrake being this aggressive. Is it an analogue to digital mapping thing? Useful for u-turns I guess...
The DC versions run like total ass is why. And the additional content is basically pointless.Yeah, it seems like the Director's Cut content is pretty universally considered not great though I'm kind of curious why that is.

Bought and started it. Already can tell is is totally my jam.
What does the Auto Save option do exactly tho?
Yeah, probably best to make up your own mind on S3. I think it's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.That's a shame, I've not watched it. Had a feeling it wouldn't live up to its legacy.
Seems like it.

Is there any circumstance you would not want that, or why is it an option?
Also already triggering my "oh gosh I hope I do not miss something in this chapter" thing I always have with such games... is there mus miss-able stuff?

Thanks for the info. But do I understand that right that if I replay earlier chapters it will carry my progress forward to newer chapters? How would that work?
Forget about the PS3 version, it's literally unplayable. It runs at sub N64 performance whenever it's raining ( 15 fps and below) and jumps wildly from uneven 30 all the way down into the single digits when anything happens. It's the worst performing last gen game I've tried to play.Yeah, it seems like the Director's Cut content is pretty universally considered not great though I'm kind of curious why that is.

Always been curious about DS but i've always hesitated due to the polarizing nature of the game. Shame about the bugs though since the switch is the most accessible version for me.
That's good. Might take the plunch and find out for myself then.It's apparently already been patched and the audio issues are much, much less severe.
