The Evil Within 2

>Alan Wake
boring af
>DP
entertaining

gee, hmm

Alan Wake was way more polished, but DP was more amusing to play

DP
Alan Wake was a was too linear and bland as was The Evil Within 1

Call of Cthulhu

Alan wake is a better game but deadly premonition is a must play it’s just too unique there really isn’t anything quite like it.

If Deadly Premonition had Alan Wake's production values and graphics it might have been the best game ever made.

As it is Alan Wake wins by a hair for me

>Call of Cthulhu
...is almost unplayable due to bugs. Which is a shame since otherwise it'd be a solid 4/5.

pathologic

*leans forward*
Wrong.

DP is a brilliant game

How are we this many replies in without anyone mentioning Silent Hill?

Alan Wake though forgettable actually heald my interest and i played through in one sitting. Deadly Promoinition waa boring and clunky si i stopped after two hours.

Held*

DP but honestly Alan Wake has the best forests to ever appear in a video game.

Yomawari

Alan Wake, by far.
Deadly Premonition is just LOL IRONIC XD and buggy as fuck.
Mizzurna Falls probably did it best.

>who copied twin peaks better

The fact that this game was posted, along with this reply is why I am in this thread. If you have to take anything away from this, please let it be this post. Call of Cthulhu was a fantastic game, and if there really is a patch for it then it is honestly worth sitting down and playing through for a weekend.

It's probably piss easy to pirate, and you could buy it with pennies at this point. Please play it.

AW is a decent game with a fairly boring story. DP is a fucking terrible game with a fairly interesting story. AW got it's priorities right, it's better.

People that say Deadly Premintion is unique must be young children. There are lots of odd Japanese games like that goin back to playstation. This one just happens to be inspired by Twin Peaks. Oooh

That fix fixes most of the bugs, including the final part of the game that was previously unbeatable without it.
It's recommended to use GOG version instead of old retail or Steam though since it has additional fixes compared to retail or steam (which have no fixes at all). Thing is, you'll need to pirate the GOG version since Bethesda filed a copypright claim on it and forced GOG to take it down.

And to clarify, that fix linked earlier ITT still needs to be applied on top of GOG version which is also still buggy, but not as buggy as Steam or Retail.
GOG + that unofficial patch = mostly bugfree and fully playable/finishable.

>Alan Wake
Boring shit, not even about the town or the people or investigating anything

>Deadly Premonition
Unironically The Room of games, nothing of genuine value

>Dark Corners of The Earth
Decent concept but turns into a puzzle FPS a third of the way in

Why is everything about mystery solving either the same flavor of Point and Click or straight up shit

I have tried playing DP: Director's Cut but I think I've hit a point where the game just dies. I have loved it so far, but the PC port is just pure garbage to slog through.

DP is one of those games worth getting X360 for. It won't have the extra content of the PS3 and PC versions but it's a perfectly stable game and the lighting isn't fucked.
PS3 version is also stable but the framerate is abysmal.
So I guess in the future ideally the best way will be to emulate PS3 version once emulators can just power through and offer better framerate than PS3 did.

Deadly Premonition has great systems like fact everyone in the town has their own schedule. A little detail like that makes a difference to me along with a compelling story.

I can barely play past the 4 hour mark on Alan Wake because its so boring.

Sorta like this user says:, but I disagree Deadly Premonition beats it by a mile.

Ah, thanks for the suggestion. I don't have a 360 with me anymore, but I'd look into it for PS3. Is it still as enjoyable without the extra content from Director's? I'd be willing to borrow or buy a 360 in favor of stable gameplay.

PS3 is the Director's Cut version, so it has the meh lighting changes and extra content, problem is the PS3 version framerate is literally sub 20 most of the time. It makes Drakengard 3 look like a perfectly fluid game.

And yes the X360 version is perfectly enjoyable without the extra content. Stability alone and not having to worry about the game crashing every 20 minutes trumps any extra flavour content.

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHH!
Wait you're serious?

Sadly, the new CoC game looks like it's shaping up to be nothing more than a janky Amnesia clone.

PS3 version is fine and totally worth it if you have no other way to play it.

>There are lots of odd Japanese games like that goin back to playstation
And somehow it's really difficult to name any.

I remember there was either a screenshot or a link that was someone explaining why this game was a buggy mess. I remember it was super ambitious in the beginning but then got rushed or something went wrong during development and the game got pushed out way before it was ready for release.

wait which one is the horror game again? You posted a Verizon commercial and a Comedy game

First 1/3 of the game is legit great mystery game.
Then 2/3 into the game is turns into mystery/first person shooter hybrid.
Then last 1/3 is just a shooter with spooky elements.
Still worth playing as long as you pirate GOG version and get bugfix mod (already linked ITT)

DP by leaps and bounds.

Wake is a decent King fanfic though.

Took me a while but I found what your on about.
Sucks what happened during development, there's a masterpiece buried somewhere under the bugs and jankyness

this

I love any story about a writer. Tjis could hsve been better but i wan a second one damnit.

DP:
>what the fuck is going on in this town?
>what the fuck is going on with my character?
>am I ever going to get to fuck that cute cop?
>what fuck is even happening in this game?
AW:
>runnin inna woods

Was i supposed to list them? Do you really think there arent games similar to DP?

This is exactly what I was talking about, thank you user
