Snake5555555555 02/12/20 2:53:15 PM #14:	Deadly Premonition Played On; Xbox 360 Release Date: February 23, 2010 Genre: Survival horror TWIN PEAKS INSPIRED TRASH I so wish I liked this game more than I do. It was like it was tailor-made for me: inspired by a show I love, with a well-realized setting and great characters, all wrapped up in the kind of survival horror game I love playing time and time again. And yet, it just doesn't work for me; it's definitely not the story, it's just all boils down as game that's just not fun play at all. I've played the dregs of survival horror in my time, and yet none of those compares to just the singular act of driving in this game, which is probably the worst driving I've ever experienced in a game. I actually quit the game completely after the first driving segment because of the crap-ass controls. And any time I return, which isn't often, I dread these segments with a simultaneous loathing and fear that makes we want to chuck the game into the nearest trash compacter. Beyond than though, the game is also way too over simulated; the game really did not need the drinking/eating mechanic, further complicating the game and making it even more of a tedious slog than it already is. Yet, in spite of itself, DP constantly tries to compel with an awesomely weird story that actually goes beyond its inspirations to tell a gripping narrative you can't ever even attempt to predict. There's seeds, a serial killer who only kills when it rains, secret sex clubs, horrifying repressed memories, and supernatural rooms anchoring story beats. It's all fantastic, and it begs to be seen, and that's maybe the operative word here. Watch a let's play of this and skip the terrible gameplay and you'll see why this is considered a cult classic. In the way S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is meant for a special kind of player, so is Deadly Premonition and unfortunately, as much as I may wish for it to not be the case, is about my limit of the amount of unplayableness I can take. --- Too much horror business, drivin' late at night https://imgur.com/MmrKwGZ - https://imgur.com/ntWVGyh <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:934282088] in Snake's 20...
