5/10

but once Switches are reasonably priced again, I'll probably cop one just for this game

tbf, the original's reviews weren't that great, and it went on to be one of the best games ever

This is one of those things that cant be quantified with a review score, especially in the hamstrung video game criticism spectrum. 5/10 is meaningless, just as any score would be. Reading a full critique is far more valuable to knowing if this game is worth your time than usual.

The first one is one of the most polarizing games of all time.

I'll wait for the Jim Sterling review. Dude is probably responsible for the sequel even existing.

The big caveat is "are you expecting ANY technical improvements from DeadPrem1, because the answer is there aren't any".

Framerate drops. Draw distance and pop-in. It's all there.

This, basically. Which is a shame, but now DeadPrem fans will call that part of its charm.

Haven't finished the first game but I did enjoy what I played. Wonderfully weird game.

Laughed my white ass off at this whole thing not because of Jim's commentary but the fucking game looks and runs like $2 Steam shovelware that's emulated on a 3DS, which even more mindboggling looks 3x WORSE than the original PS3 game. This had to be either deadline-related or a troll job.

Well now, the first one on Steam running at 60 FPS didn't impede my enjoyment of it.

Oh nice, there's a version of DeadPrem running at 60 FPS?

Honestly I don't think incredibly bad framerate should be excused as "part of the charm." Game can be incredibly weird and jank without that. Super-stuttery framerate is just painful to look at, so I hope they at least look into it and fix it a bit.

I agree.

I will still do my level best to play and enjoy this game.

Did anyone honestly think expect it to get good reviews? That being said I still expect to enjoy it like the first

The first game was once voted Most Divisive Game as a Guinness world record, so I'm not going to be too mindful of reviews. It's a very love-it-or-hate it sorta thing...isn't that right, Zach?

I mean, the takeaway from the game is it's very much a sequel to DeadPrem1, warts and all. If you're in, you're in.

I thought it would get Twin Peaks-esque acclaim, both sincere and disengenuinely pretentious.

Dont worry, the PS4/5 XBone/SeX versions will be good.

People are either going to love the atmosphere, story, and characters and look past the gameplay or hate the gameplay and look past the atmosphere, story, and characters. Just like the original.

And neither will be a wrong opinion. The first was absolutely not a game for everybody, and the same will almost assuresly be the case here, too.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Pathetic. I wouldn't want to play DP1 in 60fps. That's just fucked up. What the hell is wrong with you?

Any other game YES

Devil May Cry 5 already came out, so i'm good.
