Destructoid Review
I hate Destructoid and their no-limits sarcasm. That probably explains why I never visit their site.
I will definitely consider buying this if I find it one day for $5, just Rogue Warrior and Sonic 2006.
farther cementing how much of a jackass Jim Sterling. is
I actually don't know if that was sarcastic.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Destructoid grades a game on its potential, and the review kinda seemed to be serious. It's a terrible game, yes. But it's a game that's so terrible it needs to be seen, and is ripe for commentary.
Which is why I say Endurance Run, plz.
His review makes complete sense if you read the last two paragraphs carefully. And you'll never understand why his review or reasons for it make sense unless you play the game yourself.
" This is great, if only because it will totally fuck with the Metacritic rating. "Exactly
Typical Destructoid attempt at being ironic and "indie". Of course if the reviewer genuinely believes the game deserves a 10... then I have even less respect for that site. However, it's hilarious that this is going to totally mess up the metacritic average.
That sounds like the exact review I would write about this game, if I had played this game and it was exactly as everyone I know has told me it is.
I don't really read Destructoid so I don't know about this alleged sarcasm but I have often talked about certain movies in almost exactly the same way, so if Deadly Premonition is even half as entertaining as watching Plan 9 from Outer Space, I'd say it's worth twenty bones.
I hope the rumored PS3 version of this comes out so I can enjoy this game as much as that reviewer did.
"When we judge a game like this, how do we do it? Do we judge simply on gameplay? If so, the repetitive combat and long drives around town may very well mark it as a mediocre title. Do we judge it on story quality? If so, then we have a game that makes no sense and frequently makes light of murder and sexual deviancy. I say a game needs to be judged by how often it made you happy, how much you laughed or became excited, and how long you spend thinking about it after it was finished. If we judge it by those standards, then Deadly Premonition, my friends, is simply stunning. No other game has made me laugh so hard, laugh almost to the point of tears, laugh just by thinking about it. Deadly Premonition may well be the first game reviewed almost purely for its comedic value, but for a game so funny, it has to be done.
Deadly Premonition is beautiful. No, not graphically. Graphically it's atrocious. It's a beautiful trainwreck, and it's well aware of the fact. Despite this game being quite like everything ever made, there's nothing quite like the game itself. There is absolutely nothing in this industry that can compare to how weird and wonderful the whole experience is. Judged as a piece of entertainment, as a game that consistently surprises and amazes and leaves jaws hanging, I have no choice but to say that Deadly Premonition goes above and beyond. This game is so bad, it's not just become good. It's pretty close to perfect.
So says Mr. Stewart!" -Jim Sterling -Destructoid
Zach, it Sounds great
yes best review ever! Im buying this amazing title. after all i did like Sneak King, could this one be worse than that crap
I agree. A title is not only measured by its technical achievements but also by how fun and enjoyable it is... And this game seems to be great in the fun department. 10 totally justified!" His review makes complete sense if you read the last two paragraphs carefully. And you'll never understand why his review or reasons for it make sense unless you play the game yourself. "
Seriously that "logic" doesn't carry over to those reviews, I am not saying he isn't an attention whore or whatever else people want to come up with but he justified his review quite well if you bother to read the full thing.
" I hate Destructoid and their no-limits sarcasm. That probably explains why I never visit their site. "This.
I don't read Destructoid much at all, and so I have no real bearing on what sort of articles the reviewer normally writes, but that was a well-reasoned review. The game is obviously crap, and he knows that, but there's something about it that he found absurd to an extent that's almost euphoric.
