(The Best Bad Game Ever Made)

Deadly premonition, the most critically polarising horror game ever made, some people hate it, others love, needless to say, it's one of the craziest games ever.

Inspired by twin peaks, we take the role of FBI agent York.

The sequel, deadly premonition 2 A blessing in disguise, is hot trash.

The most shocking thing is this game was made in 2020. If you told me this was some niche early 2000's video game I wouldn't have questioned it even once.

Please, if you are a writer:
Having a character say that the story they're in is stupid does not forgive your story from being stupid.

Know why the characters worked in the first game but not the second?

In the first game they were bizarre characters TRYING to be normal.

The term you're looking for is Flanderization. Where a character or series boils away all the nuance, leaving it with nothing but its most iconic aspects - a caricature of its former self.

You know how the guys who made Birdemic and The Room saw how people loved the unintentional comedy in those movies, then went on to lean into that and made everything afterwards intentionally wacky and weird? And the results sucked?

That seems to be what happened with this game. Self-aware badness and weirdness is terrible and almost always results in trash.

"She's a real person, just poorly implemented" Like wow dude, me too

Sequel was a middle finger to the first game. After so much tragedy and loss you finally end the story on a positive note with the protagonist looking forward with hope to the future.

Game 2 starts, you're a hopeless drunk who wasted his whole life thinking of the past.

They shouldve given the sheriff daughter a razor scooter when you transport with the skateboard.

The thing that I think makes the first game's comedy land is that, like Leslie Nielsen, all of the jokes are told completely straight. No character acknowledges how ridiculous everything is. The player is the one meant to react to the comedy, not the game. Once the consumer knows that the metaphorical "comedian" is reacting to the comedy, it immediately becomes less funny. Of course this isn't the case with all comedy, but I believe it rings true with this franchise.

honestly, the game isn't even so bad when you don't have to play it. Thanks for doing this for us.

I feel that Deadly Premonition was a game that didn't need a sequel given how that game was. Happy Halloween 🎃

It's a bit sad because in both games, the story is actually very interesting. The first dealt with trauma in men in a very compelling way and the twist with Melvin was a bit intesting. Too bad the gameplay and the tone in the second game ruined it

The subtitle saying "(losing his mind)" as Danny freaks out actually had me laughing hysterically. There's something so funny about that.

Having cancer/undergoing treatment, it's not unusual for patients to sleep in their bathroom or very near it. The sickness + drugs combo can cause lots of vomiting plus uncontrollable bowel movements, so having the bathroom close by is a must.

[GooTheMighty]

I’m stunned by how genuinely sweet that ending is! Too bad about how hard it is to get there…

[NuclearDM]

Such a little detail, but the very subtle machine noise at 25:20 while York turns absolutely killed me

[MedalWelder]

Usually when the creator becomes self aware of their work, they never capture the same quality that made it special to begin with.

[CommissarMitch]

Ok I will admit the post-credit scene made me smile because I love how Zach and York has a text chat instead of it being a one-sided dialogue as it was in the first game.

Seriously I would love to see a variant of Deadly Premonition 1 where you hear the internal dialogue.

[picklesandnori]

for all the flaws of this sequel, i DO have to recognise how great the voice acting is almost everywhere

[ibragimowbekhan]

I like to imagine that most of the plotholes and unfinished stories is just Zack randomly having late stage dementia
