Topic | So, I finished Deadly Premonition 2 last night (ENDING SPOILERS + DP1 SPOILERS) |
JackMan 08/26/20 5:37:58 PM #1: | Deadly Premonition is probably a top five game of all time for me. DP2 isn't even a top five game this year. The characters and tone are all great, but the story just feels unfinished. I mostly enjoyed the journey, assuming there would be a great pay-off at the end like the first game, but the ending was a mess. The third act is resolved super anticlimatically due to a convenient lightning strike? What was the point of the Goddess of Fertility? She just shows up and dies almost immediately. Then the big twist is that the tall guy is, shock, the tall guy? And no-one finds Lise's body for 14 years because... no one thought to look for her? She wasn't even that well hidden! Her dad owns the building and in 14 years never thought to look in in the basement? And when they do find her, they don't arrest the guy managing the building? And what was the Clarkson blood curse, really, other than something Lena decided was a thing? And why didn't Patti have the curse if, supposedly, her blood was more concentrated with Clarkson blood (even though that makes no fucking sense, as she'd have the same amount of Clarskon blood as her parents)? And the point of cutting up and posing the bodies is that if you line them up in a specific way in the same room, they sorta made the shape of the Red Tree symbol? What was Kaysen's plan at the end? Get Aaliyah to slowly shoot York while he... danced? In front of the ONLY GUY WHO CAN SEE AND KILL HIM? Swery didn't even answer the one plot point he had to cut from DP1, which was what was the deal with Willie? I also have some miscellaneous complaints:
I've read some stuff that suggests that Aaliyah was originally supposed to investigate Le Carre in 2019 in parallel to York in 2005, but it got cut in favour of the extended 'sit n talk' sequences in Boston and that makes a lot of sense. It really feels like a lot of her stuff was cut, including what was totally supposed to be a boss fight with Tree-Zach. Also the fact that during the funeral scene at the end, Danny hasn't aged at all and is wearing the exact same clothes again suggests that they just ran out of time. Also explains why the story is so disjointed and they outright spoil things during the Boston sections. Really bummed, as I was hyped for this and it completely failed to stick the landing. --- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet. Salutations, citizens!
