The reason i love deadly premonition was because it was unique and wasn’t afraid to be weird, it engaged me with its plot and funny characters and drew me in through a loop and it became much more then just your average game and thats what i love about it. What do you think Zach?

Well…what can i say?
I always love games like DP…Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Parasite eve, Obscure…
Interesting stories, great main characters, scary monsters.
I guess its just a cult game, so its hard to do not like it.

Why do I love Deadly Premonition? Because. Because of Tom and Jerry’s co-dependent relationship. Because Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Because of the truth about Francis and Zach. Because the map is so hard to read and the police radio is such an unexpected gift. Because Life is Beautiful, especially during the scene in the morgue. Because the Raincoat Killer. Because, yes, “FK in the Coffee.” Because law enforcement shouldn’t be driving way over the speed limit anyway. Because you can look at the map and see what everyone in town is up to. I love Deadly Premonition because it sneaks up on you, it’s a sucker punch in the most amazing way. For all the talk of it’s poor graphical quality and nonsensical storytelling, it makes you feel part of a smal town truly inhabited rather than a vast expanse of anonymous CPUs. Due to that you care about helping the citizens of Greenvale, they aren’t just a ticked box on a quest subscreen. And for all the talk about sluggish shooting and driving mechanics the investigation sequences are some of the most involving stages I ever played on Xbox 360, and the QTE’s are tense, well-placed, and don’t overwhelm the experience. Deadly Premonition has the sui generis appeal of a labor of love. SWERY and his team wanted to give us something wonderful with the opportunity they had. I love Deadly Premonition because it worked. Because they pulled if off. Because Deadly Premonition is strange, messy, dark, and beautiful, and that sounds like art to me.

Here’s the thing: I didn’t think I’d love Deadly Premonition nearly as much how I ended up. Even trying to place a reason is difficult without saying “Well, all of it.” And then it hit me: it’s the love put into this game. Every single second of game time or time spent watching Let’s Plays of this game just reminds me of how much love is at the game’s core. I’m not going to say that I love it because it’s beautiful, or because it’s masterfully written, or because it’s the pinnacle of gaming. I love this game because I’m so emotionally invested in it, because it can get me to that point. Would you call a game where people can glitch and drive outside of their cars ‘immersive?’ If not, why do I find myself asking “Zach, where are we?” when utterly lost on the highway? Why do I look at the red maple outside my window with immense suspicion? If the dialogue and voice acting is so atrocious, and lines like “What a hell…” make it ingame, then why did I actually cry during the end, with York entering the Forest? If the story is so nonsensical, then why have I spent hours on wikis and fansites, getting deeper and deeper into the lore, to the point where I decided ‘yes, I need to make a roleplay blog for this, no matter how few people will understand?’ Deadly Premonition has so much soul, so much heart, and that alone makes it shine. Having that soul gives it characters we can fall in love with, characters that feel like they’re our friends, moments where we can laugh and then cry and then clench our fists until our knuckles are white from the tension. And before I go off and ramble specifically why I love Francis York Morgan and his lifelong friend, I should probably cut myself short. It’s the love and the dedication that SWERY and the team had that rubbed off on me, and above all other reasons (and I have far too many) that really puts Deadly Premonition in its spot as one of my favorite games of all time.

Because it have good coffee, I’m a sucker for a coffee 🙂

after the disappointing pc release, id really like to give the true definitive version a go.

This game was the most quirky and creepy games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. So many things to do, little side quests and storylines. It’s big ol’ storybook within a game, and I love a good story. The quirky trivia, the silly backstories, the fact that the main character is a foodie and a movie fanatic… Just wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better experience with a game.

i loved this game because it managed to surprise me so well. the story definitely wasnt predictable, it has a lot of quirks that make it so unique as a game, it didnt drown into the masses of competing titles and such.

The characters personality and quirks also make this game great. Overall the game was even better than i expected and i enjoyed it very much!

The best thing about Deadly Premonition is…….everything! But what gets me every time is the music. Gives me happiness and joy. And of course, York’s smile. 😀 It is the best!
