When I got to the end of the game, I breathed a sigh of relief that it was over and I'd never have to play it again. I found it an absolute war of attrition, for the most part, but..

...there is something about it. There is an undeniable 'mood' to the game that I can't accurately describe - odd, unsettling? I dunno, but it's almost like a silent soundtrack that's ever-present within the game. It's difficult to recommend as it's one of the least-enjoyable games I've ever played, but maybe it's not supposed to be 'enjoyable'?

strawberry float knows.

Glad I was able to clear that up.

Please could a mod update the title to "Deadly Premonition - fantastic sandwiches"? Thanks :-).

I suspect that most folk will try the game on Plus and immediately denounce it as the worst game ever. Hopefully a few will see that it's wonderful.

This was always a game I was interested in trying, but unfortunately now I don't think I will have the time. :(

Yes?

Stick it on Easy, run through horrible gameplay where possible. The story and characters are so interesting and weird that it redeems the game.

My favourite bits are the car conversations about old movies.

Disappointed that this being in the PS+ IGC hasn't sparked conversation.

I bought this on release and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and off-beat nature of the game... but I left it and I haven't gone back yet. I hope to visit soon.

I need to hear that whistlin' again...




So says Mr Stewart.

I am going to start it tonight. Is it advisable to just play the game through on Easy then?

Yeah, the difficulty only affects the combat, which is janky as strawberry float.

I disagree with that advice. Play it on Normal. I never found the combat to be tiresome, though it can be a little awkward.

OK, it seems it's a pointless discussion, because apparently the difficulty selection was removed for the Director's Cut version, and the game now veers towards easy. Shame.

Parksey, while you're here: PLEASE delete the stray S out of "Deadly Premonition" in the thread title. It's been annoying for so long.

I've queried this a couple of times, too. That additional 's'... gggnnnh. I guess it's an obtuse reference to the Sinner's Sandwich.

And here's another tip: the in-game map is terrible. Keep this somewhere handy:

It's the worst thing Sarge ever did on this forum.

Yes! No 's'! Thanks, mod team :-).

I had thought that I'd picked up a cool Deadly Premonition collectable recently. Rising Star Games launched an online shop and they advertised some Deadly Premonition playing cards; limited to 1000 sets. That's probably more than they sold copies of the game, but I was real keen and I placed an order.

They just refunded me because they can't supply the cards. Apparently the manufacturer delayed and delayed before supplying cards of very dubious quality. Rising Star decided not to sell them in that state and so refunds were given :-(.

I never did say thank you for deleting the S.

Anyway, this is now BC on XB1, which is a nice thing.
