Best Cult Classic Games R3 #5 - Deadly Premonition vs Shadows of the Damned

[Vyse]

Welcome to Round 3, Match #5 of the Best Cult Classic Games tournament!

Previously, in the second round, we saw Deadly Premonition narrowly win against Destroy All Humans! Now it faces off against Shadows of the Damned which eliminated Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. But which of these two games deserves to move onto Round 4?

Deadly Premonition for me. Low budget, campy, graphics one generation behind, tanky gameplay. All of that is true. But the soul of this game, the writing, dialogue, the story and specially the characters are all too notch. I can't believe a big studio hasn't tried to do a similar game to be honest. Small town in the middle of nowhere, a cop solving grizzly murderers, open world with citizens having their own schedule... Everything about this game is so good. Legit top ten game for me even with all its flaws.

I so wanted Alan Wake to be like Deadly Premonition, and it was supposed to be, before Remedy threw away their original open world plans and investigation premise. That one hurt.

Deadly Premonition was a fun ride, but Shadows of the Damned is an all-time classic for me. Looks like my vote won't matter though, lol. Just like politics.

Damn I missed the vote because I had to visit a trade show for work for four days.

Shadows of the Damned was supposed to win this! Sucks hard, it's such a cool game.
