I don't think it looks that bad to be honest. It's fine. It makes no sense that it runs so poorly but I kind of like the aesthetic.

Deadly Performance 2 (fps) I’m enjoying it, but it is funny that they can get Doom and Witcher 3 running on a Switch but this Wii rear end looking game can barely break double digit frame rates. I absolutely understand why any normal person wouldn’t touch this game in this state.

As someone who really loved DP and has played only a few hours of DP2, I agree with the general sentiment here. Yeah the framerate outside is rough and it has some jank but SWERY hit the scripting right and York feels as good naturedly batshit crazy as ever and I’m very happy so far.

Early side quest that I think I might have broken? I didn't try to shower until after the Y-Vern service unlocked, so now I'm on the stage where I have to talk to the bellboy to repair the shower but every time I try to talk to him he just sends me outside for the taxi.

Apologies if this was mentioned in the thread already but just in case this saves anyone else some detective work, here's Supergreatfriend's July update. tl:dr He'll get to Deadly Premonition 2 but first he has to savor his time with it and he's starting a different game LP at the moment Forbidden Siren 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F6sPGdlhuE

It seems like this time York is no longer the sole weirdo in a town full of straight men. I'm digging what I've played through so far, but besides the framerate, the way conversations just stop if you bump into something or get off the skateboard is really annoying. The sound effects also make it hard to hear the voice acting during the conversations. The writing seems to be pretty much what I expected. I've played for like two hours and haven't seen any combat at all, which can only be a good thing.

I wish there was a way to make the skateboard quieter or mute it and they missed a chance to have followers skateboard along side you. The outdoor framerate is a shame. Reminds me of being a kid and trying to play games an outdated computer. I like the game and story so far looks great but I can only recommend this for impatient big fans until the framerate issue is fixed sadly.

Yeah turning the sound effects down to halfway or so seems almost essential. Loving it so far, performance aside. It was great when you first get in a suit and that original music hits...

Victorian Gentleman posted:I saw a gameplay video of this and saw frames drop to almost powerpoint levels in the scene that was shown. Is that a recurring thing as fps issues are putting me off from getting this game. Definitely play through the original game first. It is completely unironically great, and I'd hate to have the story ruined by playing the second game first.

Me: York is still his weird old self, but he hasn't been an rear end in a top hat to anyone yet. York: Takes Patti's sundae and drinks it in one gulp right in front of her Me: Ah yes, that's the York I remember.

I've played for a good 4 or 5 hours and here's my thoughts on it: If you loved DP1 then you're gonna love this. If you were on the fence then you'll probably be on the fence about this one too. If you have no idea then you'll probably be best waiting for a sale or patch for the framerate. It's obnoxious not having followers skateboard with you since there's dialogue with them. While you're on the skateboard it's just you and Zach and there's been a ton of repeats so far. Probably due to me being in the beginning but hearing about the sun beating down on him gets old after the hundredth time. Gunplay is way better than the first one. It's still not great but they definitely tried to improve the combat and it shows. Framerate isn't that bad compared to what people are saying about it. It's definitely playable and while it's probably never breaking 20fps outside it's still completely possible to do combat. I haven't had it dip to slideshow framerates yet outside of a few hiccups but once you get used to it it's really not as bad as people make it out to be. It's not great but it's not the worst thing ever either. Overall it's more Deadly Premonition and if that's what you want then get this game. If you're a diehard fan who was on the fence due to bad reviews don't worry too much about it and just pick it up. I'm really enjoying my time with it and while it definitely lacks a ton of polish what's there is great if you can get past the jankiness of it.

It’s pretty bad. At times it feels like an alpha that’s barely able to run. The game itself is absolutely what you want from another DP, but you’re gonna need to be extremely tolerant of the abhorrent frame rate to enjoy it. At this point I can only recommend it to hardcore fans of the original.

People have different tolerances for frame rate problems. I’d say I am on the tolerant side but I still felt a little nauseated after a stretch today with lots of open worlding. Still worth but I have to take it in smaller doses I think

Also is there a specific place to do the bees quest you get from the sheriff? It talks about a time limit and prizes like there's a minigame attached. Killing 30 bees normally will take ages.

took like 10 minutes punching out the 4 in the park next to the church, skating a block away to respawn them, and then skating back to repeat. no idea about the time limit, it's the middle of the night atm and melvin isn't interested in taking this fistful of bee corpses no matter how many times i get him to answer his door

Looking for thyme now if anyone knows where that might be. Also I figured out the trick behind the water pressure sidequest. David stays as a certain role depending on the time of day. At night he'll be on the 2nd floor as the bellboy, daytime I think he'll be in the lobby, and in the morning he'll be the chef

Make sure you talk to the grave keeper. Melvin will only take them if his in the sheriff office.

I discovered one of the characters doing something untoward and suspicious as hell in chapter 1. Gonna spoil it in case it turns out to be indicative of later plot. Read at your own risk I guess. It was between 5 and 6 AM, when the world is still in the red sky otherworld state, I went down to the altar where Lise’s body was found, and Melvin was there just staring at it, dressed in normal clothes instead of uniform. Talking to him just gave a kind of generic “Sorry, can we talk later? I’m kind of tied up at the moment” message. I did it I cracked the case. I’m onto you!
