Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut

Bad graphics, clunky controls, the game looks like an exact copy of an old-school PS2 game, like being 18 years old. If there wasn't the deliberately slowed-down gameplay and the annoyingly repetitive sounds, you could take it for nostalgy reasons. Better you should, because in any other case that one's completely anachronistic.

Good god this game is awful. If you kept a notepad beside you and jotted down all the bad ideas, in the first hour you'd have a novel. It's joyless to play, and the cinematics are so embarrassingly crude that you'll be punching yourself in the face for having paid any amount of money for this steaming pile. ----------- The graphics and sound are miserable. You will laugh at how squirrels sound like monkeys, how lakes appear to be untextured, how footsteps sound the same no matter the surface, and how characters repeat the same lines just seconds after they've spoken. -------- On top of all that, it's even worse on the PC. There are zero graphics options and a fixed resolution, the controls are horrid (even if you plug in a 360 controller), and cinematics stutter like the camera man's having a wicked seizure. ------- Dare I say it, but this is about the equivalent of "Birdemic" in the movie world. It's so bad that you might just play it for the sole purpose of witnessing how shockingly atrocious it really is. Unless you aim to write a funny negative review or Let's Play series, I'd stay far away.

da game

The menu and item system are insane. The controls some of the worst in any game I have played. And it starts with a lackluster linear narow fencing paths with waves of boring zombies? And checkpoint saves? Who wants to reapeat these levels. To be honest, I gave up after 30 minutes. I don't care how amazing the story might hae become, I will never find out. The tourture is not worth it.

The visuals are awful, model work and animations is/are weird, voice acting is... interesting, gunplay is awful, no worldbuilding to establish the logic of the world, lack of options within in-game options menu so you can't change the bad controls on k+m, it's just off. Why are there zombies? Why does it seem like the main character has multiple personality disorder? It's broken, cruel, unusual, and not 1 star worthy because it can be laughed at.
