Pretty terrible looking game right? IGN gave it a 2.0, and Destructoid gave it a 10. Fuck Jim Sterling, I gave into the Devil's nectar and rented this piece of shit. It is the worst thing ever. Even though it's only $20.00, DON'T BUY THIS.

This just in: I will murder Jim Sterling. Don't be surprised when no one misses him.

Did you READ the review he gave it? If you read the whole thing you would get it. It's supposed to be FUNNY

That doesn't change the fact that he gave it a 10. He talked about how awesome it is on his Twitter. He actually believes it is a good game, and he gave other, more deserving titles like Heavy Rain and Assassin's Creed II 7s and 5s, respectively. It will bump up the Metacritic rating immensely, and the score will give these idiots more credit than they deserve.

lol I REALLY want to get Deadly Premonition :P Just because it's that awful. And the last time I was this excited bought a new game was a while ago...

In any case, nothing good really comes out of Destructoid, regardless of whether Jim "lookatmeimdifferent" Sterling gives Deadly Premonition a 10 or a 1

Well looking at the gameplay vids and the trailer on youtube, it looks like a late Xbox1 title crossed with a cheap ripoff of silent hill/resident evil. Might as well have called it resident hill
ugh and no voiceover for the internal monologue? Its as bad as a jrpg. Oh and that menu for the toolbox! Fuck, is it 1990 or 2010? Ooh and happy medal pickups with plinky snes sound effects for breaking scenery, JUST what every survival horror needs to maintain the tense atmosphere, wonder if there's mushrooms he can collect to suddenly double in size...
It doesn't look as good as farenheit much less better than heavy rain I'd be searchibng surnames in the credits to see if one of them matches the destructoid tool who gave it a 10.
More than likely its another sad ratings grabber move by destructoid though, looking for the "OMG Controversiez! We iz teh edgiest" market

Given my feelings about Heavy Rain, I should probably stay the hell away from this discussion, but . . . I actually think Deadly Premonition looks more appealing. In much the same way that The Room is wonderful cinema.

Metacritic lost a lot of credibility when they included Destructoid reviews in their scores.

See, The Room IS wonderful cinema, in a twisted, weird way, but here's the key difference between The Room and Deadly Premonition; you aren't controlling Tommy Wiseau with buggy-ass controls that don't do things you tell it to. You aren't having troubles getting The Room to even start. You don't have to keep track of the character's fucking GAS TANK when they're driving somewhere, even though driving is just a vehicle to get you to the next part of the story. While the hilarity of The Room is completely unintentional, Deadly Premonition tries (and fails) to amuse me. I don't care if he's talking to his imaginary friend. I don't care if I'm sitting at the other end of a long table with an old lady who can't hear a thing at the other side. Hell, I don't even care about the story, or the gameplay, for that matter. All I care about when playing Deadly Premonition is how long I can withstand this odious game shoved into my system's hole before I rip the thing out, break it in half, drive to the Blockbuster, and tell them I did them a favor. SCREW THAT GAME.

Fair enough. But ugly and awkward as it looks, shameless Twin Peaks ripoffage goes a long way toward winning my affection.

Today's lesson, boys and girls: don't listen to reviews posted on wannabe-journalist blogs.
Also, when sworn publishers' slaves IGN/GameSpot give a game a lower score than Kotaku/Destructoid/Joystiq you it must really suck.

ANY movie or game or whatever which scores well because "it's so bad it's good" is to be avoided like the plague because, while a good movie or game are still down to taste, a 95% game is at least not completely broken. On the other hand, if a reviewer says "it's so bad it's good" and the "bad" never becomes "good" for you, you're stuck with a terrible terrible game instead.
Reminds me of this zombie flick which, I was told, was so bad it was good as well. Except it was just bad to me.
Only game I can think of, of which most people believe this is true, is Tex Murphy and its acting and that's mostly because the actors didn't take it too seriously.

NecroVision fit that mold for me...so completely ridiculous (and such bad voice acting and dialogue) that I was willing to overlook the rather cheezy controls.
