This game seems... interesting!

MightyHedgehog said:Played through a bit more...man, this game is far more appealing than it seems on to be on the surface, in both the rather great localization job and based on the scope and overall sense of atmosphere achieved by the sheer force and consistency of its Japanese-flavored adoration of David Lynch stuff and other non-mainstream horror-mystery thriller flicks.

I wonder why some games do this. It's like saying "no, we don't want to sell more copies". Utterly odd.

INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:Those that have the game, would you say that the "art style" is similar to cel-shading/Persona/Digital Devil Saga. It almost looks like one of the SMT games in terms of the characters.
PepsimanVsJoe said:The only one out of that list that I've put any amount of time into was Kuon.
Kuon is pretty good-looking when you can see what's going on but the game feels very much like an update to the classic style of Resident Evil. Limited saves, awkward control setup, useless melee weapon, limited ammo, and so on.
I read a Let's Play on Clock Tower 3 and it sounded quite abysmal. Haunting Ground I never saw past the boobs, Raw Danger I haven't seen past the intro, and Echo Night (Beyond?) I haven't even seen in my PS2 though I own the game.

Kuon
Haunting Ground
Clock Tower 3
Disaster Report
Raw Danger
Deadly Premonition
Echo Night
Escape from Bug Island

I haven't played Kuon, but Deadly Premonition, IMO, is better than anything else on that list for overall interesting experience and entertainment value even if it fails to be quite as refined and polished as something like Haunting Ground and Clock Tower 3 from a audio/visual, general production-values standpoint. At $20, I'd pick it up before it becomes more difficult to get. I can't imagine that there are all that many copies floating around in the first and probably only North American run.Stumpokapow said:I just started playing Cursed Mountain on the Wii, which is closer to bad-bad than good-bad, so it'll probably be at least a month until I get around to Deadly Premonition, but if someone could rank the following games, it'd really go a long way to help me understand if the game is any good:
