And this is the Director's Cut, they knew the complaints of the players from the original version. Sure, they improved on the lighting and some of the gun mechanics, but still.

Okay, am I seeing that right? Deadly Premonition, you have a huge revelation right now - something has likely happened to one of the characters, a potential second murder - and you send me into the OTHER WORLD?! Are you high!? Don't you know that people hated the Other World? It's boring, the enemies are not scary (not even the unkillable Raincoat Killer, though he's more annoying because encountering him only means quick-time button-inputs or it's Game Over), the locations are not interesting and... jeez! Let me see the second victim already.

Dunno, I find them rather sucking as enemies. Like, they are so cheesy and not-scary that they ultimately end up being hilarious. The only thing remotely 'scary' about them is their black mouth and that's only seen up-close once. At least, up to now. As for what they are saying... I find the garbled speech to be meh. And their repeated "Don't want to diiiiie..." gets really annoying to hear when you kill several of them in short time.
Though I heard there are other Shadow types later in the game, including the Crawling Shadows, which are apparently annoying to players. We'll see.

I had something similar happen. I saved during my Romancing Saga 3 playthrough, then reloaded a save state and the proper save file was gone. No problem, since it was emulation and I had save states from just before what I did and it wasn't very hard to redo. So, it wasn't that bad...

I don't play horror games, because I'm very sensitive to scary things and have horrible nightmares. As a kid I was even worse; I couldn't watch The Empire Strikes Back because I was scared of the snow monster in the beginning of the movie, I was scared by the baby dragon in the first Harry Potter movie, and I was even scared by the giant Baby Bowser from Yoshi's Island. I was the biggest wimp in the world as a kid.
Personally, I don't play many horror games myself. Mostly because my imagination is very sensitive and I have weird enough dreams as it is, I don't need to up my chance of having nightmares by playing something that could shoot my heartrate up in bad intervals. But Deadly Premonition (despite its name) is not what I would call a horror or even scary game. The Japanese title is Red Seeds Profile, which makes more sense: Red seeds are important to the plot's case and the protagonist is an FBI Profiler. I have read spoilers for the game and am playing through it and I still don't see why it was called Deadly Premonition.
As of yet, the protagonist has not had a premonition of someone dying or foreseen their death and prevented it.
And the things that are supposed to be horror are not. And this is coming from someone who hated ghost stories being told around campfires, I would get paranoid and see whatever scary thing was in the dark, after. Always held my ears closed. But as said, none of the enemies in the game - to date - seem scary at all. I read that the bosses look actually kinda cheesy, so they lack their horror, too.
I think the only thing I might call 'scary' is when, during certain Other World sections, you are suddenly followed by the Raincoat Killer. And you have to move buttons and all to run away from him, while having a split view of the Raincoat Killer following you and seeing behind York, so you have no idea what is in front of you. And the quicktime events with the killer.
Then again, that face the protagonist makes when he is too long in the Other World rooms with the purple fog... that was a bit of a creepy face...
Oh. And just what happened on my screen, the beginning of Chapter 14. Ok, that is a bit creepy, though the music and scene just says, "Jumpscare about to happen!", so some of it is removed.
And don't be ashamed. As a kid (11 years old, about) I was still terrified of the screaming book in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone book. And at age 12, the Graveyard scene in the Goblet of Fire book creeped me out, too.
Anyhow, I had to redo Chapter 13, because that's the last Chapter you can do Emily's third cooking quest. People were right, getting the Weather Doll is a dang difficult thing to do. (I had the ingredients, she just didn't leave her door open when I was there at rainy nights...) But I got it now. Also, crawling shadows were pretty meh... I only have the default weapon cause I can't remove it, the .357 Magnum (which I use on the Crawling Shadows) and the Wrench. BEHOLD THE ALMIGHTY WRENCH!!

I think they named it that simply because it sounds cool. Much cooler than the Japanese name. It's like those clickbait titles that articles have which are hardly representative of the content of the article. They name it something cool to get more people to buy it. At least, that's the way I see it.
True, there is a trope called American Kirby is Hardcore. Honestly, I don't need an 'epic' cover to entice me to play or buy a game. Or even a title. I'm more interested in what it says on the back. Though that can also be misleading.
As said, the title makes no sense to me. The cover already makes it look like it's a gore-fest. And as I've said, the deaths are not really that gorey. Heck, one of them is implied/stated to have been flayed alive - there's BARELY any blood on her. Even if she was cleaned off, there is still a ton of skin on her, for having supposedly been flayed. (Ignoring her still wearing underwear, but hey, maybe they didn't want to show a nipple!)
I have encountered Crawling Shadows. Yeah, they're annoying. But not scary. And only annoying because the gun mechanics suck. Also, I'm about to start Chapter 19, which I think is the almost-final point for doing sidequests. I think I did majority of them, the only ones still are the ones I cannot do until much later, anyway. So, if I'm forced into plot-railroad now, it won't matter much.

Ugh, I hate it when they do that. ICO's American cover art was probably the worst I've seen.
Japanese:
Simple, easy on the eyes, and gets across the mood of the game.
American:
A kid with a stick? That's so intimidating.

Nothing but switching between York, who has minute conversations with himself, and Emily, who is doing nothing but following Willie through half the town and in circles. Boring! Both of those are boring enough, but then you add the loading screens and it's... urgh! I know this is SUPPOSED to be intense, but by god, this is boring!

Could be worse. At least it's not the North American cover art for the original Megaman on NES.

That one's always the first to be brought up when people mention bad cover art, isn't it? I'm surprised it actually sold well with that cover art.
None of them were as bad as Mega Man, but I think all of the American box art for those games were pretty bad. In Japan, we got actual cartoony Mega Man and all of the robot masters in the background. In America, they tried to make the game look "realistic" with horrifying results.

ROMANCING SAGA 3 WAS AWESOME! Gawd, I WISH they could have had enough time to really complete the game. It is so cool and the music (especially this one) was so great. I love it! (I was so excited when Theatrhythm: Curtain Call said it would be among the DLC for it!)

Obviously not in this context, but it's also not uncommon for it to mean "original post(er)". And in some circles/conversations, it can mean "One Piece".
The OP about OP's OP is OP!

Had to exchange a few times cause I got overleveled Pokémon (I put my beginning level limit from 1 until 12), but I now have an Absol, a Gible and a Makuhita. The Makuhita has a +SpATK nature, which seems kinda silly... but hey. Part of the Wonderlocke. And Pokémon overall. Stupid natures.
