Under $20 and thats the launch price? Kinda looks like an Xbox game, the original Xbox. I think the only real question will be how bad is this game going to be? link In one flashback sequence, players are able to control the villain (the Raincoat Killer) as he uses an axe to kill the townsfolk—toxic gas has left them in a deranged state; the grainy black-and-white sequence depicts the townsfolk emitting red blood-spurts when hit, as their bodies disappear.

Video Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Now just because the graphics suck, doesn't necessairly mean the game will (though it's often a safe indicator ) I might look into it...if it comes out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 At < $20, I had to pre-order it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 IGN has a review up.... Closing Comments Awful in nearly every way. The Twin Peaks meets Resident Evil with a dash of Grand Theft Auto formula sounds pretty great, but it was well beyond the capabilities of this development team. Terrible controls. Terrible pacing. Terrible sound effects. Terrible visuals. Maybe you can convince yourself that these things don't matter as you work through this surreal and quirky storyline. The rest of us will be off playing better videogames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hex65000 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 If I were you, I'd avoid reading any more reviews until after you had a chance to play with it personally -- especially since it looks like you preordered it. To me unless the camera punishes you at every turn, its prolly just ign being.. ign. :v] I assume you'll get your copy in the next couple of days since the release date is tomorrow. I'm interested in hearing what you think. Or if you hate it, let me know, I may pick it up off of you if it sounds quirky enough. Tangent: I still want to crank out a mini-review of Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon... but I read the reviews after I had played the game for a couple of days straight and gotten half the achievements...

HammR25 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Over 20 hours of gameplay!! Deadly Premonition is the definition of a system seller. Once you play it, you'll want to go sell your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 They are sayin AVP is bad too! I think it great..and creepy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomorpher Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 They are sayin AVP is bad too! I think it great..and creepy! Yeah after reading several negative reviews about AVP, I'm now steering even farther from reviews. It's hard to take them seriously after praising certain games to the point they almost give them a perfect score, while actual good games don't get higher reviews they deserve.

moycon Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yeah after reading several negative reviews about AVP, I'm now steering even farther from reviews. Yeah you guys know I rarely/never buy and play or don't buy games based solely on reviews. I personally know I would have missed out on a bunch of GREAT games if I listened to "professional" reviews! LOL I'll for sure give my impression of this game after I've had a chance to sit down with it for a few hours. My copy shipped today!!

xg4bx Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 for $20 how bad can it be. if i had a 360 i'd buy it simply because i support all horror games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 So far it seems about like I figured it would. A last gen horror survival game. The control it pretty wonky is my biggest complaint, but it's no worse than control we've played in the past. So far I'm not hating it or anything, I haven't really played it long though. I've heard the achievements suck. If you want to get 100% you have to play through 3 times (there's achievements for finishing on easy, medium and hard and they DON'T stack) and each time takes around 15-20 hours.

Jess Ragan Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 It looks like IGN pissed in the review pool for this one. They gave this game the lowest rating of review site on Metacritic, and twenty points lower than the next lowest score. Sounds like God Hand all over again if you ask me. Nearly all the other reviewers acknowledged that the game is flawed, yet charming in its own quirky way. IGN is unable to see charm as a quality, having none of its own since the FOX acquisition.

IGN does seem to have screwed the game a bit. I think it's a rather interesting game, but it definitely would have done better if the zombies actually had more of an effect on things. As my younger brother figured out when he played, you can easily run right past the zombies to the end of the level and, in most cases, face no resistance.
