DP discussion thread

[kevin]

I found it a bit strange that this thread hasn’t been posted before. xD

I’m guessing we all loved DP quite a lot and that’s basically why we are here, but let’s not talk about just the things we liked, but let’s also discuss the stuff that we didn’t quite enjoy or found strange/weird.

Things that I liked the most: The characters, the plot, the music.

The characters were all fantastic in my opinion; you rarely get a game that makes you feel kind of attached to the characters these days. I was especially impressed by the main characters; they were so not cliché that it was unbelievable. xD

The plot, well, I think it could have been developed slightly better here and there, but overall it was very interesting and unpredictable at times.

The music, really, do I need to explain this one?

What I didn’t like: The controls, graphics.

Controls were just…uh…painful at times. I died 5 times on my first run and all of them happened during the RK chases, they were slightly annoying.

You just don’t pay much attention to graphics anymore, when you have such an awesome game to play, but I still think they could have done it a lot, lot better with the graphics. The game looks too old to be this new.

Stuff that freaked me out: The shadows, George

I’ve got to admit, my first encounter with the shadows made me shiver a few times and this is a huge Silent hill and Resident evil fan talking here. And after wandering the streets of Greenvale past midnight, I never wanted to see those guys again.

George-Creeeeeepy. Thought, I did feel sorry for him, after he told York his story.

The map and the controls were a biig turn off for me. It probably didn't help I was also playing on hard XD. I had put DP asides for weeks and my first complete "playthrough" was actually watching the Giant Bomb Endurance runs. When I saw how much I missed out on it convinced me to give it another whirl and I'm so glad I did. In fact, I 100% completed the game in a weekend

I've played it so much now that I have to say none of the controls really feel wonky to me anymore. York has become more of a sober driver that's for sure! As for the map well... let's just say someone could kick the map in the river and I wouldn't care now



The graphics and animations didn't really bug me that much. That's not to say it didn't make me laugh at times, oh it did...especially that recycled "Oh no you didn't move" move George, Emily, and Nick would do. For some reason it looked like more of a move for a "sassy sista" XD if that makes sense? It always looked off when George and Nick did it! However I might not be the best judge of graphics since I still loooooooove Silent Hill PSX and that has not aged that well...for me if a game has a great story the graphics don't matter too much!

Like you Kevin I found George very creepy. Really, it was his house and basement shrine that really solidified it for me. If he was just power hungry or a serial killer it wouldn't have been quite as chilling. But seriously...HE HAD BAGS OF THINGS EMILY USED/TOUCHED HANGING ON HIS WALLS WTF. Even York sounded disgusted when he commented on it. I'm really thankful Emily never found out that dark secret about George. It sucked enough that her boss so looked up to and respected was a cold blooded killer but to find out he did it all because you wouldn't go out with him when you were 16 (among other things) would have probably put the poor girl in therapy for years.

I did feel bad for George though in spite of all his creepiness. His mother was so messed up and his dad was too chicken to man up a take him out of that unhealthy environment. But I felt even worse for Thomas I really wanted to give him a hug.

Um hi? Yeah so, I'm new here and I'm guessing this is an RP forum? That's cool. I just don't know how to get started. This is probably the wrong thread to post this but it is OOC. I didn't want to mess up other people's RP's. Sorry if this is the wrong post.

But yes, I recently got the game and I love it. It's so weird and random yet the story is gripping and thrilling. It truly is a good game. I agree with the controls being annoying at times and it takes a while to get used to. The graphics could be better and it took me a while to get used to the map. xD

So, once again, I appologise if I have posted this in the wrong place. Help would be great. xD

It is a Rp forum but it's pretty dead at the moment, to get started you need to fill out a character app and then wait for approval... though the admin has been MIA for a few weeks now
