I didn't really enjoy the demo either with the reviews slating the plot and other stuff I find it hard to consider buying it.xbhaskarx said:

I would like it more if it weren't a lazy ripoff of that destructoid article.Dacvak said:
I'm kinda shocked by trying to think the last time a review was actually relevant.I Push Fat Kids said:
I remember reading a Culdcept Saga review that gave the game a 6 just because it looks oldish. Yea, okay? What about the game? How did Dead Rising ever get praised? It's as ugly as anything gets. Oh wait, the Wii version got fucking trashed for being a mostly decent port yet ugly, didn't it? Game reviews are so fucking worthless. I don't know how all those folks you read about whose paychecks depend on metacritic scores stay sober.

Heavy Rain was great. It isn't for everyone, and I don't think it's really worth 60 bucks due to low replay value, but it was definitely worth playing through it once. I'll remember that game for a long time. Hell, most of the people I know played it in one or two sittings, because it was so engaging. Though I understand people not liking it, I really do. I just don't understand why people hate it so voraciously. Apparently Heavy Rain did something nasty to their moms.

I meant the DP > HR thread title. It's basically the same title as a destructoid article. Although I do appreciate not riping off the miles of text the article had, lord knows I didn't bother to read that. But limiting DP to Heavy Rain comparisons does it a disservice. It's better than all sorts of games. I'm not very far into it, but I'd say it rivals pretty much anything I've played. I mentioned Dead Rising in my previous post because it very much gives me that vibe.jiji said:

That's how I feel about deadly premonition, even a lot of people here are giving it the cold shoulder just because graphically it looks somewhere between an original Xbox game and a 360 game, doesn't mean it's a bad game. Also, the repeating use of inappropriate music just comes of as completely intentional and comedic and the same goes for most of York's voice acting. Yeah, I'll admit the game has its problems like problems with driving and a certain enemy that can be extremely annoying but personally that would be my only real complaint. Deadly Premonitions has pretty much given me about 25 hours of entertainment on my first playthrough and for 20$ I feel I got my moneys worth, which is more than what I can say about most games. I know it's not for everyone, but people shouldn't shit on it based visuals alone.
I haven't played Heavy Rain yet, but I hope to sometime in the future. I'll make my own opinion of it when it gets my full attention.

One is perhaps the best experience of group gaming on, uh, substances* since Katamari Damacy that is the best tribute to Twin Peaks I've seen in some while. And the other is a "game" for apologists that is a poor version of a bunch of movies I've seen already that probably is not very good on substances.
*I don't endorse substances, kids. But if you do substances, DP a wonderful game. Played it without substances too, and it is just as great. I imagine this will be my personal GOTY.

The gratuitous nudity and awkward sexuality--not to mention the wannabe Saw finger cut-off thing--means that the creator has no clue as to actually handle those topics as an adult, so I'd say it fails terribly as an adult game. And a lot of other things undermine the claims to maturity too.Ridley327 said:
I don't mean to generalize, but from my experience, more frequent vocal gamers on the internet are dilettantish at best outside of gaming. So it is not a surprise you see these types--folks who by and large found The Dark Knight utterly profound--are praising Heavy Rain.

Wow this thread got me all hyped up about Deadly Premonition. I loved Heavy Rain a lot and if it's EVEN BETTER. Oh man!

Actually drinky thinks Dante's Inferno is inferior in every way to GoW series. That's a loose quote.longdi said:

Again, I have to point out that perspective that I'm coming from is that the female nudity and the sole sex scene in the game are all easy to avoid and come off as being almost intentionally that way. It's hard for me to accept it as being gratuitous on those grounds.
In the interest of full disclosure, I find Heavy Rain to be a lot more interesting from a mechanical POV than anything it was and wasn't able to do narratively. QTEs have always been more interesting from a conceptual perspective than they have (quite often) been in execution and I do genuinely believe that Heavy Rain makes some really important strides in making their application more natural and seamless with regards to the actions taking place on the screen, particularly in regards to how well it handles the abstraction of translating on-screen action to input (and vice versa). It seems weird to praise the game for something like that, but I'll happily be the sole cheerleader for it if that ends up being the case.

Deadly Premonition looks more comparable to Alan Wake than HR. Y'know, small forest town survival horror inspired by Twin Peaks...

I think my favorite part about this sentiment is that in about three months it'll likely turn in to:
Since Deadly Premonition's not an exclusive-exclusive, so much as a "there's a pretty good chance we're going to sell, like, two of these, so let's not go through localizing and publishing both versions quite yet" exclusive, so I'm not really buying that most of the fans are die-hard console warriors.

Prolificacy is DC's Kryptonite. His shtick is entriely dependent upon ignorance (as the first few pages of this thread illustrate). The only way to stop a crow is to ignore him - every rebuttal, no matter how well conceived, feeds him. If he posted regularly his shtick would be obvious and people would simply stop responding. He'll be back again once there are a sufficient amount of new juniors or the present ones become complacent.

Heavy Rain isn't a game, it's an interactive movie. A choose your own adventure video; only not as fun as it introduces random quick time events and monotonous tasks so that you can't relax while watching it.Lion Heart said:

Deadly Premonition is an awesome game and it's intentionally funny. I feel kinda bad that all this hyperbole and sarcasm is being thrown around about the game because it actually is really good.

A critically acclaimed console exclusive getting trolled in comparison to an obscure, bargain-bin, critically-panned "multiplatform" game, which happens to be exclusive to the other console in the region most posters on this forum live in. No, sirree, no ulterior motives there!
And I'm sure you'd feel the same way if a bunch of Sony fanboys were saying Gears of War is trash and Quantum Theory is awesome. After all, it's multiplatform!

This is a repeat from Prototype vs Infamous I'm guessing.

Well I'm a PC Gamer, and I think gears of wars sucks, I have a 360 for dead rising (and now DP), and bought a ps3 for ff13 (which ended up going multiplat, and being a shitty game anyways :lol ) and mgs4 (which somehow got even more retarded than the story in mgs2, but it was fun ride, and ending to the 10 year story arc.
I haven't gamefly'd heavy rain yet, but I played through the demo and so far DP > the HR Demo.

Deadly Premonition and Heavy Rain are just terrible comparisons. If you want an underrated game that's better than Heavy Rain and closer to it, go for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Both focus primarily on story and remove game elements like combat. Both have a button that calls out the name of a lost child. Both give choices that can change how the story is told. They have twisty endings. Silent Hill: SM does all that better than Heavy Rain. They're both pretty short.
For Deadly Premonition, a better comparison to a more popular, mainstream title, would be Resident Evil 5. The combat is similar, they both give you 1 save and let you replay chapters and keep equipment between them. Deadly Premonition manages to be both scarier and funnier while having a more intriguing and entertaining story. RE5 has more cutting edge graphics but that would be like saying the recent Wolfman movie is better than Evil Dead 2 because Wolfman uses more high tech graphics. DP breaks up it's combat chapters with open world exploration and investigation while RE5 is a pretty linear run through combat sections.
