York has a fascination with taxidermy, old hunting rifles and biscuits. Very interesting. I was glad to help the sheriff out by helping him find Arnold, and apparently I don't know shit about squirrels.

Again, you're shit outta luck. The US 360 version is region-locked and is not released on PS3 there (yet). There simply isn't a way to play it if you're in Europe and don't know Japanese (so playing the region-free Asian version is really not a good option either), unless you can play ntsc games or have a US console.Roughmar said:

It really isn't, but for some reason I can't turn away. Whenever I see my next objective is more than 1,000m away from my current location I cringe knowing that I have to drive one of these shitty cop cars that for some reason are much more sensitive to left turns than right. I'll stick around for the characters and nonsensical story alone, but the driving and overworld are both utter shit and the shooting is tolerable, I guess. The game is definitely worth $20 though.Swittcher said:

Bought it based on this thread, in the backlog. Didn't want this game to disappear on me in the future.

Isn't that the original model for the main character? David Young Henning....or something. I like the crazy one in York they settled on a lot more, anyway. It's funny that the model and name change seemed to have come from worries about the game coming too close to specific Twin Peaks elements, yet the model for York look almost like an insane James Hurley from the same show.

Ah, good. As you can tell, I never followed the development of this game.

I'm ready to start a second play through and am getting impatient waiting for this guy to respond to my PM, so I'll ask here.
Anyone know where to find this?

No I'm pretty sure the game is complete garbage honestly. But I'm also 100% sure that I like it. I really shouldn't though.
The game is ugly, the controls are ass, the load times when he gets in and out of a car are horrible time wasters and don't need to exist at all. The sounds when he turns off the car are stupid, no one revs their engine up before they turn it off. The lack of a map that actually works. Why can't I zoom out further? Why can't I mark a location on the map?
Almost everything about this game is garbage and is incredibly outdated....
But I would suggest it to anyone that actually enjoys games, and not to point out the things wrong with it. But, suggest it because it seems it's an experience worth having.
Does that make any sense?

Yeah, you can press start to skip the getting into car animation, you can also press start to make the picked up item screen go by faster.
I don't think Deadly Premonition is bad so much as it is unconventional. I'm not saying it's on the same level or anything, but one could easily say Picasso's paintings are absolutely terrible if judged on a more traditional painting rubric.
My evidence is that, in the end, Deadly Premonition is a game that can be more engaging, entertaining and compelling than a lot of games that have more traditionally "good" qualities. And in the end, an amazing experience is really what it's all about, even if it doesn't line up exactly with what we've decided beforehand makes a game "good."

Watching GiantBomb's Endurance Run is more making me want to watch Twin Peaks than play Deadly Premonition. I think I'll stick with watching them play it.

francis york morgan is probably my new favorite character ever, beating out frank west.

Just thought I'd pop in here to say that I've been adapting the story into a feature screenplay. It's going pretty well although I started it at as part of the SCRIPTFRENZY contest where you have to write 100 pages in a month.
I'm working on getting a blessing from Ignition although at this point it's not crucial unless I think it's good enough to WGA. Pretty solid so far

Late game help needed. Pretty major spoiler.
Edit: nevermind, I got it.
In the zombie police station trying to catch George, where the hell's the last key to unlock the cell with Anna in it? I've unlocked every other cell.
Edit: nevermind, I got it.
All right, what the fuck. I'm on the section with all those wall-crawling enemies. They take a bajillion bullets to kill, so I look online for what the best strategy is for them.
I find people say that the infinite flamethrower is the way to go, should kill 'em in like 3 hits. Well great! Just so happens I got the infinite flamethrower (Wesley Special) before I went on this mission. So I equip it... She approaches, materializes, I blast her, she lights on fire, repeat. "Oh, I've done that 3 times, why isn't she dead?" turns into "All right, I've done this 20 fucking times, why are you LYING TO ME you fucking internet jackasses." Is my flamethrower glitched or something? This enemy isn't the only one it does jack-all against, it also doesn't seem to do crap to normal zombies. Is there an alt-fire crit rocket button I'm missing? What the fucking hell.

Also a high damage melee weapon will take them down pretty quick, but I think you can only hit them when they're on the side wall. When I used the flamethrower I kept it going after they initially caught on fire until they turned transparent again - that was pretty fast IIRC.

Got this yesterday and already clocked about 8 hours into it, haha. I have a few questions though:
-I got the radio, but how do I use it?
-I slept at a random area and he woke up at 4AM, the place was all hellish and a giant dog attacked me, among other zombies. Was that the random area I slept at, or does it just do that at night?
-What the hell is with the leaderboard? the x/100, is that seriusly me breaking the top 100 in a lot of areas? It says prologue at the top and I can't seem to switch pages(I just got done with the town meeting), but I'm S rank in most of the areas. Specifically, I am number 1 in car wreckages after 1 car broke, and I'm 4 in a lot of other spots.

Is it just the alcohol talking, or is Emily really attractive? In a game with such bad graphics, there's something they're doing with Emily thats very good. I know she's supposed to look like Mulholland Drive, but theres more to it than that. Its something else. Maybe shes just a good character. Maybe a realistc character, as ludicrious as that sounds? Something. Shes pretty hot though.
