30 price is wrong I think, it is infalted based on the UK price from the PR...

This game has been sitting in my backlog for a few months. Being a huge Twin Peaks and Alan Wake fan I just dont understand why I havent seized the chance to experience it for more than an hour (which is literally all Ive done). =/

I'm not going to lie, the beginning hour or two will seem pretty underwhelming. Give it a little time when you finally start playing, because it picks up really quick after a point.JumpingTheGun said:

Whenever I see this thread pop up it always sends a spark to my senses that I need to give it a go again because Im sure Ill love it. Do you suggest I use a guide or should I just dive in with no assistance?

Most people will tell you to at least use the guide until you get the radio. I didn't and still had a great time.

If you really just want to experience the game, play it on easy mode.JumpingTheGun said:
Like Roland Deschain suggested, I highly recommend looking up getting the radio. It's fairly simple to do, and it will make your life sooo much easier. Also, you might consider looking up getting the infinite machine gun.
Outside of that, the game shouldn't be too difficult to get around. Those two items will make a world of a difference, but don't let that keep you from experimenting with other weapons you find.
Did you actually find this in person?_dementia said:

- Play on Easy
- Read this guide (spoiler free, don't worry) to learn about some undocumented controls that will make the game a better experience.
- Just because a Mission says 10:00-18:00 does not mean you need to do it between 10:00-18:00 that day. You can wait until the next day, or a day after that, or any time. Don't feel like you need to advance the plot constantly. If you want to explore the city, let yourself do that. The game never tells you this. You will never be punished for waiting to do a mission.
- The map rotates when you turn. So North is not always up on your map. This will take some getting used to.
- I do not recommend using a guide for any quests because there are significant spoilers for the entire game if you use a guide. The one thing you will want is an unlimited ammo gun, probably the magnum. To get the unlimited ammo magnum, (spoilers for how you get the magnum, but not anything related to the plot)
drive around town and collect 7 bones. You can see the icons for the bones on the map. You need to do this BEFORE chapter 7. Do not return the bones to the graveyard. A little while after this point, you will meet a dog. The dog will steal the bones. You can get the bones back from his doghouse along with an unlimited ammo magnum.
Have fun

i found my copy a few months ago at a local GS but believe me I had to search a chunk of South Florida before I found it.

In regards to that, these two links might be helpful:Stumpokapow said:

I skimmed over the maps, and it doesn't look like there are any spoilers to be had.
The first is just a general location map, but the second is a detailed map of locations of things.
Be a little patient with the second map when you tell it to update. It's a tad slow.

I've actually been playing this recently too, I had some trouble getting into it when it first came out but I definitely want to 2nd playing with a guide for at least part of the game. Right now I'm towards the end of the game (only 2 or 3 sidequests left) and I'm really loving it, this game really has its own special sort of charm despite the somewhat lackluster presentation.
I also agree that anyone who can't seem to get into this game, keep playing at least until you unlock the radio (lets you warp anywhere you've been previously) and the junkyard, as they cut down on some of the mindless wandering.
Also, has anyone encountered one of those HUGE demon dogs? I saw one at the graveyard before I got any weapons and promptly got my ass whooped, lol. Is there any benefit for actually killing one?
Anywho, great game... too bad Swery can't afford to make any new games Speaking of which, is Spy Fiction worth playing?

Just picked this up over the weekend and hope to start it soon. So is the game so hard that most people should play on easy? I usually start games on normal or one of the harder difficulties.

Nothing particularly difficult about it but there are some damn tedious enemies that just aren't worth the extra difficulty level.

Also, the controls can get pretty frustrating sometimes. Playing on easy will let you enjoy the awesome/crazy story more. The achievements don't stack either if you were thinking about that.

does anyone know if i can buy deadly premonition from the UK games on demand service using a japanese 360 in japan? i have no idea how the region locking on this thing works.

Ah, good good on the pricing fix.
Two of the strangest things happened to me today as I made my third attempt at finishing this (awesome) game...
One, I hit start to skip the 'get in car' animation and ended up standing through the roof of my car as I drove around...
and secondly, I ran out of petrol and damaged my car too much just before I reached the hotel...
First one was quite a cute and charming bug, the second however meant I was not able to get out of the car at all and had to re-load the game.
I wonder if they programmed the game to know what to do in case of 'no petrol' or 'destroyed car' but not what to do if these two events occured at the same time...
I seem to break everything!

Started playing this yesterday.
After almost turning it off after the first ten minutes due to the ungodly assault on my eyes the Twin Peaks vibe has really suckered me. Also helped once I realised there was no need to kill every enemy that I came across.

Been playing this for the past couple of days. I just finished part two of the second episode.
OH MY GOD!!!
I love it! I really hope it holds up to the end.

I felt like there were far too many action sections towards the end. Getting some infinite ammo weapons helps make them less tedious but I wish they'd toned them down a bit.
Other than that, it's pretty much amazing throughout.

The only boss fights in the game are towards the end and they're pretty unpleasant aside from some great dialogue from York. I found the final boss to be particularly frustrating.

I had a similar thing happen to me regarding skipping the "get in car" animation. Instead of ending up standing through the roof of the car, like in your case, York was in the proper sitting position but did not move with the car. I thought it was funny and took a quick video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3hRboqhgNI
Also, for the second bug; would it not have been possible for you to use a flare in that situation? Correct me if I'm wrong, because I can't remember if you can use items while in a vehicle.
It also has FREE SHIPPING.
You do NOT need to buy anything else, the game ships free period.

It's also called Red Seeds Profile instead of Deadly Premonition. It appears that Play-Asia.com still carries the Japanese PS3 version, and you can also find copies on Ebay. However, don't expect to pay budget prices for it. These days, you'll have a hard time finding copies for less than sixty dollars.

Finally got around to ordering it from the UK via OzGameShop. There seems to have been a fuckup somewhere along the line though, and they've dispatched the other games I ordered at the same time but not Deadly Premonition yet. Looks like it's gonna be a long, hard wait

Beat it last night. I thought all of the bosses were really easy.
I love love LOVE this game! This is easily one of the best games released in the generation.

That's great. It's one of the best written games ever with VA that rivals any AAA game. Nobody can resist York's charm and the inhabitants of Greenvale.
