"Thanks to the whispers of several key industry individuals whom I hold in high regard, I rented Deadly Premonition. There was a buzz around the game that I couldn’t understand; one of those “it’s-so-bad-it’s-good” vibe that everyone was emitting. Like staring at an obscure painting in the Louvre, you don’t want to be the only one in a crowd of folks you respect who don’t “get it” as they kerfuffle and harrumph about what a masterwork it is."- Shanghai Six
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.

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.
People said to not take Deadly Premonition seriously. Well im sorry, but I dont have time for the games that waste my time.
Some times you have to go "slumming" to truely know how good some games are.
That's kinda what this game felt like. It was okay, but jesus, the layers of BS you had to cut through to get to the good parts...very Final Fantasy XIII feeling...
I'm really enjoying the game at the moment. The characters are great and the story has me hooked. The combat parts aren't as bad as the article writer states, but I'm used to playing games that are considered "broken" or "bad" so it's not a big deal to me. I will agree that the driving is horrible, and the graphics are kinda old school. Though the latter adds to the games charms.
I was thinking about trying this game out but everything I read about it makes me think it would be a bad choice.
