Looking like a shitty video game version of TP is what makes Deadly Premonition look so awesome.

:lol :lol Drinky Crow threads

 

[Space Runaway]

You've NEVER seen Season 2? Like...woah.

Well season 2 does completely die in the center before leading up the greatest ending ever.

Well, the start is excellent too. Then there's the Dark Days, and it kicks right back up at the end

Goddamn Drinky must have done something really really good to gain immunity from the banhammer.

Based was probably not the right term to use, rather complete ripping off instead. With the north west American town, lone charismatic fbi agent, murder clues on the victim's finger nails/mouth, the Red room/Black Lodge, The Man from Another Place, Julie Cruise clone, etc

Holy crap. That might be the most shameless rip-off I've seen in a while (and we live in the age of Dante's Inferno!).
...and yet, I can totally get behind this. Off-brand Twin Peaks? Sign me up.

so good

Well he used to write some really good posts.

 

[Duke Togo]

Ah yes, its been a while since we've enjoyed Drinky's humour.

 

[Kevtones]

Shouldn't it be Deadly Premonition >>> Heavy Rain considering one is $20 and the other $60?


Also, this thread is very right.

[Brandon F]

Didn't even know this game existed until after I bought Heavy Rain. Only $20 too?

I have read the loadtimes are pretty awful though, does an install alleviate that problem?

 

[Cat in the Hat]

The borecast convinced me I don't want to play this. Maybe I will though it's still in my gamefly Q sitting pretty a #13.

 

[Timber]

is this going to come out in europe? i haven't played a game in a long time but dp looks too good to pass up. that wasn't a very flattering acronym.

 

[iammeiam]

Deadly Premonition is the best $20-at-launch disc-based console 'full' game since Katamari Damacy; thread title is obvious flamebait, but goddamn does this game deliver value-per-dollar. And it wears its Twin Peaks influence like a giant "THE END IS COMING" sandwich board (Laura Palmer's picture is in the game!), so it's not trying to pull one over on you.

And the WTF factor goes up a lot when you realize it's NOT an American town, it's in Canada. It makes no sense, but it is.

While Heavy Rain was a much more intense/binge-encouraging experience for me, Deadly Premonition is proving to have surprising staying power. This is probably because whenever I get bored with the main storyline I can go fishing or play darts or stare creepily through pretty much any window in town and watch as people watch TV.

Also more games should include real-time beard growth. How many times did I get to shave in Heavy Rain? Deadly Premonition's shaving technology is sooo far ahead.

And I'm playing installed and haven't had huge issues with load times; never bothered trying when not installed.

 

[Dead Man]

One day Drinky Crow will get banned, and none of us will ever know.

Indeed.

 

[Equus Bellator Apex]

It's really sad when people feel the need to force their opinions down other people's throats.

 

[jcm]

I understand why gaming blogs post colossally stupid, fake-controversial linkbait. They're getting paid by the page view. But I've never understood doing the same thing on a message board. It's not like Drinky gets paid for this shit. What's the motivation?

 

[radios shipping overview]

Everything about that except the words 'low' 'budget' and 'Japanese' sound great.

You should play Earth Defense Force 2017.

Me, I can't wait to play Simple 2000 Series: The Twin Peaks. I just need to find out what duckroll's talking about regarding the PS3 version coming out here. Heavy Rain I couldn't care less about.

Deadly Premonition is the fuckin' "Snakes on a Plane" of videogames.

no it's not, snakes on a plane is extremely lame, deadly premonition is actually pretty great

 

[Bizzyb]

I'm actually liking Deadly Premonitions more than Silent Hill Shattered Memories though. I don't know if it's because I actually feel like I'm in a Quaint Town or what but Deadly Premonitions is a really decent game. Well worth the $20 asking price.

Dunno about Heavy Rain though, haven't played it except for the demo.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Heavy Rain is an awesome experience that is not for everyone.

So this game was delayed 2 years?!

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Man, seems a lot of people think he's seriously banned. :lol

Dude, he is. He's just glitching the matrix.

 

[Slurmer]

I am really enjoying Heavy Rain and disagree with just about everything Amirox has said about it. With that said, the incessant defenders who get so flustered over negative things said about the game make me want to troll the hell out of it.

Worst thing about awesome Drinky threads is the 10 posts saying

Drinky Crow
Banned

"lol, that was fast!"

my copy of deadly premonition turned up last night! unf

but so did an Altered Beast pcb... and that has muscle mens, so will have to play that first.

 

[Eel O'Brian]

We have never mentioned it on the show, but believe you me buddy we will be celebrating this masterwork of whiskey tango foxtrot on the next episode!

 

[How About No]

.

Obviously they had to sacrifice a lot in order to implement it.

Will there be a PC version of this ever? ;_;

 

[BitchTits]

I like to savor each drinky crow thread like a fine wine. Swoon.

 

[dolemite]

As far as the price for a brand new disk is concerned, I agree.

 

[sdornan]

Is this the squirrel key you were looking for?

 

[Rahxephon91]

This is true. Heavy Rain is a piece of shit boring game with a dumb story that tries to pass itself off as amazing.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Heavy Rain forces you to enter the fucking contra code just to pull out a flashlight.

 

[Apath]

I just played the demo. Graphics were great, voice acting was great, and story was... just starting? Game play was non-existent though. So yeah, great "game" that isn't for everyone sounds right to me -- just from going by the demo.

But is it a game?

Or interactive movie?

You decide.

 

[Adam Blade]

Man, it's about time Drinky Cow got banned. I've gotten tired of him trolling certain Japanese games (and genres) by decrying fans of them as "weeaboos" and calling said games "loli animu crap."

I applaud whichever mod or admin banned him. Swift justice indeed.

Drinky threads are the best.

 

[Shai-Tan]

So I searched for "deadly premonition" on google and the second link is a 2.0 review from IGN. Are reviewers not understanding the game or is it merely a destructoid inspired troll job?

A little from column A, a little from column B.

 

[Ridley327]

This is true. Heavy Rain is a piece of shit boring game with a dumb story that tries to pass itself off as amazing.

I've never been so conflicted as to whether I should avatar quote or tag quote.

All I know about Deadly Premonition thus far is that it controls like RE4 if I was underwater and hopped up on quaaludes. I want to play more since the setting is endearing enough, but it's painful. Real painful.

 

[Acosta]

I haven't played any, but if Drinky says so it must be true. Drinky is our friend and he is always looking for our best interest.

But man, beaten by Destructoid... you can't accept that. I suggest you counter with a Unlimited Saga>Final Fantasy XIII thread.

 

[Tyree]

Go Drinky-chan go!!!!

 

[Flipyap]

They even have "The Pot Lady" in this game?
Drinky was right. I need this game.
