Deadly Premonition > Heavy Rain?

Did anyone read this article from Jim Sterling? 
 

inb4 raging people who don't realize that the article isn't serious.

You know what's great about Jim Sterling? The comments that accompany every one of his articles from people who don't even bother to read what he says. Fact is, while he makes himself very abrasive, if you read what he's actually saying, he's often rather insightful and much more honest than people generally let themselves be, like the whole deal with 'art' games and the hilarious reaction that proved exactly what he was saying afterwards. Also, props to him for admitting he was wrong about AVP, despite him going on (on twitter) about how no matter what, it would be awesome to him.

I stopped at Jim Sterling
the man that is payed to be a troll

is deadly premonition that game that was showed as rainy woods, which was essentially twin peaks: the game?

It's pretty funny watching 13 year olds refute his sarcastic claims.  

 

I don't care if he wasn't serious. The only reason he gets any attention is because he posts controversial work, not that he's a talented writer. He's a hack.

Jim Sterling is a genius.

How does a game get a 10 from Destructoid and a 2 from IGN? 
 
Which one is right?

I thought he had a pretty good way with words.  Witty.  Read the article if you haven't.  Heavy Rain didn't make him
cry but Deadly Premo made him cry..with laughter.  hah!

Why do you think Giant Bomb is so big? Granted, Ryan has written some contraversial reviews, but he's respected. Like the the other staff members here, they're damn good at what they do. Sterling uses a crutch. The only thing he does is take the opposite stance of a hot-button gaming topic, and then proceeds say why you're wrong for believing otherwise, and in a dickish way. He says he's being sarcastic, but that's bullshit. He lives for the angry comments people post in his articles, rather then trying to be a good writer.  Oh yeah, he's reviewed games without completing them, and failed to say so in the reviews. That's professionalism right there. "

Isn't it being developed by an Indian company UTV or something?

That was incredibly hilarious, actually. The only problem I had with it was that there wasn't enough hilarious Deadly Premonition footage. That, and I sometimes started to take him too seriously. Never heard of this guy before, I only own a PS3 and this computer, and I thought that was awesome. There you have it, people.

 
Game was developed for PS2, but it was ported to 360.
Said so on some site...

" @armaan8014:  It was developed by Ignition Entertainment. Their wiki page says that they were founded in England. "

" @armaan8014:  Ignition Entertainment was the publisher and utv is the developer. Not sure if their Indian though. "

It says this on some wasted gamers forums
 
"For those who don't know Ignition Entertainment was Acquired by our very own UTV Entertainment .....U.T.V shud stick to film making business...lol"   http://www.forums.wastedgamer.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5523&start=0  suckage justified I guess? "

Does not compute.

Ugh. Everything he writes has a sneering, dickish tone that annoys the hell out of me. Sure, it's satire, but it's not good satire. Being contrary for the sake of being contrary does not make good journalism.
