It's no secret that Deadly Premonition looks and feels like a PS2 game. It handles like Resident Evil multiplied by FRUSTRATION and the dirge of a screen that appears every time you pick up an item is grating, yes. In fact, the entire survival horror aspect of the game, could be done without. Yes, the enemies are repetitive and yes, killing them is a chore. But it's a small price to pay for the rest of the experience. Because that's what it is.
Deadly Premonition is a weird, weird cocktail that doesn't go down smooth for everyone, but it's still absolutely worth sampling.
It’s sooooo janky but the story is so good and the agent is so quirky I loved it thouroughly, the story is that good that you can actually make it through all of its jankiness and issues .
It’s a diamond in the rough and rough is saying lighly.
This game deserves a remake out of any game I can think of .
If they fixed the combat ,driving and movement this would be one of my favorite games all time and it already is in a way.
I enjoyed this back during ps3 days. I'd buy it again if they re released it fixed up a little. I had fun with it.
Twinfinite: "Sometime comedy and horror are one and the same! Find out which moments from our favorite horror games made us laugh instead of cry."
ok I believe that Deadly Premonition 2 scene described in the article, takes the cake! Although one could argue that there are so many memorable ridiculous moments in this game.
This week on COG Considers, we tackle one of the most tired and unpleasant tropes in horror games: why games--and every other pop culture avenue--are so determined to paint people with Dissociative Identity Disorder as murderers.
Are they? You are fixed on Japanese games that are anime based/fashioned. Perhaps if you were not playing games that are similar to the animes that inspired them you would have more/different experiences.
When Cliche and Troupes are the building blocks, you can’t expect much. Just like you cannot expect good case study when the tester/observer has practically no variance in test subjects.
Sooooo many horror games out there... you really gotta explore some more.
I'm currently watching the Two Best Friends playthrough of it on YouTube. This game is so goofy.
Played the original a couple of times already. While I hear the Director's Cut is hit and miss in certain aspects, I plan on grabbing a copy once I finally buy a PS3 in the fall.
The story is good.
