Months ago I watched Brad and Ryan's Endurance Run of Deadly Premonition. I thought the game a joke at first, but the more I watched the more I fell in love with it. In February I was bored and decided to go back and watch Jeff and Vinny's ER. I found they did many different quests and got to the end in a different way. This prompted me to go out and buy the game. I put it in reluctantly, expecting to have a horrible experience in the combat sequences, but I REALLY wanted to see all the other side quests. I played it on easy, and what I found was surprising.  The combat was not all that hard, and on easy the enemies died very quickly. I guess what I am saying, is that to all the people that said this game sucked or had major issues were wrong. It could have been better, but for a budget title you will not get much better of a value proposition.
