I can definitely see why people love this game, or hate this game and the more I watch the endurance run, the more I'm tempted to buy it. But its the story that is really heightening my interest more and more. Despite the budget quality of the game, I think the story isn't too bad so far.
Deadly Premonition
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Feb 23, 2010
An open-world action-adventure game following an eccentric FBI agent as he investigates a series of bizarre murders in the small rural town of Greenvale.
Am I crazy for actually liking the story?
The story is most certaintly the highlight, and even though that doesn't sound like much considering it's the highlight of a game like Deadly Premonition, the storyline is still supposed to be enjoyably creepy and weird. It's story is what's getting DP it's cult following for the most part.
The presentation of the story is awful (and amusing) but the general bizzareness of the story is what I find so appealing of this game. It's a shame it's not on the PS3 otherwise I'll be playing this myself now.
I find the story pretty interesting so far. I can only hope for a decent ending, though, as this is where most games fall short as far as the narrative is concerned, IMO. Haven't seen a satisfying ending in a game in quite a while.
Okay well its good to know that I'm not completely crazy (and I emphasize completely). Agent York is definitely one of a kind. Also because Ryan is pointing out all the references to Twin Peaks, it makes me want to watch it as well though I haven't experienced David Lynch's work ever.
Im totally with you, Im actually enjoying the story. Obviously its not the best in games, a lot of the animation, voice acting and writing could be a lot better there is something that is certainly appealing about the story. At the very least its the best part of the game so far (so far being so far in the ER) and Im really looking forward to getting some new information (and when they talk to the Colonel about the "myth").
I like the story, actually. I don't think it is really good, but I'm constantly curious to how it'll all end for York and Zach. It is the only thing that make the game even slightly ineresting in my opinion.
