I (don't actually) hate Giant Bomb.

This is why: 

No Caption Provided

 
 
 
 
 
 
Why would I do this to myself?  Clearly Brad, Vinny, Ryan, and Jeff are not enjoying themselves playing this game, and I find it physically painful to watch Brad attempt to kill those wall crawler ladies.  They constantly complain about the numerous faults the game has, yet they continue playing and I continue watching.  But I think the largest problem has to be the fact that I do not own an Xbox 360.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this game, but I am sure that I'm slowly losing my sanity... isn't that right, Zach?

Well when you make a whore-attention title like "I hate Giant Bomb," what else you think you're gonna get?

Look at it this way : If you do go out and purchase a 360, what better way to break it in with some Deadly Premonition???

" Meh. I bet half of these bozos criticizing you bought Persona 4 back in the day just so Jeff and Vinny would think they're cool. Or they probably own some WOW plushies or some other gaming memorabilia shit. Personally, I say "jump in" on a 360 and give Deadly Premo (among others) a shot. I did and was very surprised to like it a great deal. Easily worth 20. "
But persona 4 was a really really really good game.  It merited a personal playthough for me, this, however, does not.

You should hate yourself for buying the game. No one from Giant Bomb forced you to purchase it.

As someone who bought Persona 4 and doesn't own a PS2, I can kinda see why you did this... but I borrowed my brother's PS2 so that worked out great for me. Your situation is a bit weirder and the only thing you can do is either get a 360 or find a gullible friend with a 360 to play it with.

I had Sneak King imported from the states despite knowing it was region locked. And if it never gets a UK release, i'll do the same for Deadly Premonition. Why? Who knows.

I have a rather insane feeling that this is gonna be one of those games that got such a small print run that it's going to drop to 15 or so, and then just rise, forever on eBay.

I'm not one of those "video games are art" guys whatsoever, but Deadly Premonition is uniroincally the most artistic, most perfect anything in the history of civilization.

Deadly Premontion is the most fun game I've played in months because it's actually something unique.    Most of the stuff coming out lately just feels like something I've already done with slight variations.

Yeah, I bought it too. But it was only $20. I mean, I have spent way more on way stupider purchases. That just makes me and you bad people, not Giant Bomb.

Hey don't feel bad man, i would pay 20 dollars for this game just to listen to York talk to Zach and see them interact with the other characters in the game.  
Ive spent 20 dollars on things i found horrible for instance Kingdom Hearts 2 , FFXII, Ratchet and Clank. I just keep em and well FORGET ABOUT IT.

I've purchased games for consoles that I didn't even own before. Granted, those are consoles that I eventually planned on buying, but I don't see anything strange here. Really, this is a great game. You won't regret picking up this game.

You can always just keep it and buy an old  xbox 360 in 10 years time and give it a spin for the hell of it and remeber the crazy day you wasted $20 bones on the game you could not play

What? Why? 
 
Deadly Premonition is a perfect example of a game that might vanish without a trace pretty soon after being released, so it stands to reason that somebody might buy it with the intention of holding onto it and playing it some time down the line when they do get the console.  Seems logical to me, not moronic.

Irrelevant question. 
 
If the DVD was Cube, or something else I definitely knew I wanted but knew was going to become/already is ridiculously hard to find, then absolutely yes.

I just want to clarify.  The title of my blog was sarcastic:  I don't actually hate Giant Bomb.  Also I played it last night at a friend's place, and dear god the aiming is far worse than I imagined it.  The game is still fun though.
