    I saw a review for this in a local newspaper, they roasted it saying it was "so bad it's good". Went to GameStop shortly after release in 2010 and bought it new $20 - once I beat it, it was unironically my favourite game of that generation. I still stanby that - it's janky as all hell, but it's heart and wacky, yet intriguing mystery is what makes it so special.

      It lifts so heavily from a single source, though. And does it improve on it at all? No. This game is an interesting curiosity and I can see why some love it but its not super original or even that well executed. Theres something super Japanese about taking an artist whose work is as dreamlike and surreal as David Lynch and doing such a direct copy of it rather than try to pay homage in its spirit of unbound creativity

    If Tommy Wiseau adapted the script for Twin Peaks, then a Japanese video game studio and director "polish" and "game-ify" it, you'd get Deadly Premonition.

    I played the PC version of this game and boy let me tell you, it was hell. Besides the mystery in Greenvale, making this thing run on PC was another mystery. I had to uninstall several things, reinstall several other, launch the game from the .exe instead of Steam's launcher, switch several compatibility modes until I find the proper one to run. I even had to downgrade my audio drives because I kept hearing a non stop screeching while driving cars.
    The game crashed, stopped loading, I lost progress several times and I felt rage running through my veins. But you know what? Now that I was able to finish that game, all those bugs and troubleshooting I had to go through actually added to the experience, and felt really sad once I saw those credits roll.

    I've seen this game described as a game made by aliens whose only exposure to humanity is Twin Peaks. I've been meaning to check it out ever since but never got around to it.

    I fucking love this game. It's terrible and great and memorable and incredibly confusing. You can just totally see someone poured all of their efforts into it and it was complete fascinating chaos.
    I love how involved Swery is with the community too- I posted about the final boss on Twitter and he liked it :')

    This is actually one of my favourite games. It's so bizarre, so beyond good or bad. Filled with charm, laughs, genuine scares and even a few tears. It's amazing. Swery 65 remains one of the few genuine visionaries in the industry today. I can't wait to see what he does next.

    This game will forever be in my heart as a piece of nostalgia for me. A german gaming channel was playing though the entirety of it back then, and said lets play became somewhat of a time capsule for me to get back to the time when i was 23. Funny how the shitty PS1 look and the absolutely repetitive 4 or 5 different songs this entire soundtrack has to have actually helped hammer down this thing into my memory. When i start the whistle theme, all my friends still join in as a collective trauma response xD

      Nah. DP2 is great fun. Just not as good as the original. I played it before the framerate issues got patched, which was rough at times... but it was still a blast and the story is a completely fucking insane mess filled with inexplicable characters. 8/10 - Would recommend.

    I think the thing that made me realize "Wait, this is a game I'd freaking love..." where the Giant Bomb features with Swery. Seeing what a earnest and likeable guy Swery was was the "Maybe the game isn't as whacky as people meme it to be.." and the game play was awkward but unique for the time. Life is beautiful still makes me smile and whistle along, as it should for everybody.

    Even just seeing Extermination mentioned made me happy :)
    I originally played that game on a demo disc and after playing that demo quite a few times through finally tracked down a copy of it. I've played through the game a few times over the years & absolutely love it. It's pretty easy to compare to other games, but I feel it came up with a few interesting concepts & did a great job of putting together stealth, survival, puzzles, action & adventure.
    I think I am going to have to keep my eyes peeled for Spy Fiction & Deadly Premonition now :)
