GameCritics writes: "I quickly finished the game, and once I’d stopped weeping openly, I swung by the old ‘Internet’ to see what various sites had to say about the game. After a little skimming I came to the conclusion that people were universally hard on the gameplay and graphics, but divided on the story. There was a ‘so stupid it made my brain bleed’ camp, as well as a ‘so stupid I couldn’t stop laughing’ camp.
I wondered, for just a moment, anyhow, whether they’d played the same game I had. You see, the thing I responded most positively to in Deadly Premonition was the writing."
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.
for only $20 it really is an interesting game.
Is that why IGN scored it 2/10? Is that why this same website that's submitting this sad joke of an article right now scored it a 4? 66 on Metacritic, 'nuff said. The game is utter trash.
Game of the year? no. Surprise of the year? Just maybe.
I bought it on a whim after reading reviews. It's a weird game that comes out to more the sum of its parts. I had a lot of fun playing it. Considering how much shit I was talking about it in the first hour, I'm genuinely surprised at how much I ended up liking it. (What do you think, Zack?)
