I ordered Deadly Premonition (And it made me realize something)

I have just ordered Deadly Premonition from Amazon. I think this action really epitomizes the direction my gaming has taken in the last year or so. I started last year as a video game player who liked the same things as most of you. I would always read tons of reviews before getting games, and tended to like the things everyone else liked, and hate the games everyone else hated. I was careful with my money because I didn't want to waste it on a bad game. But, over the last year I have changed. I have started to see games less as a product to buy, and more of an experience.  

  Yes, I am well aware I sound like a crazy hippy man, but I have been inspired in the last year to check out more cult favourites, and more games that I would have just overlooked in the past. I used to love writing reviews, but lately I have changed. Reviews are too product-oriented, too mainstream and "correct" for me. As in, they critique the framerate and the particulars of the story, when all I really like to look at is whether I enjoy the game or not. I don't like nit-picking games. If I wanted to review a game right now, I would have two possible scores: "I enjoyed it" and "I didn't enjoy it".  
 
I am also well aware that according to a lot of people, Deadly Premonition is "a bad game", but I have stopped listening to them by now. I've seen the whole ER, I've heard plenty of people complaining about the game, and I still want to buy it. I know I might get frustrated, but I really don't mind at this point. Swery has struck me as such an honest creator, and someone who is willing to do weird-ass things with his game. I respect that, and I want to play what he has made myself.  
 
I no longer want to buy every game that comes out. I no longer just want a game with consistently good shooting and a mediocre story. I want games that are special in some way. I don't care if they're given a 1-star rating or a 5-star. And I really can't tell if this is a sign of maturity or immaturity. Maybe this is just my form of a teenage rebellious phase. But all I know, is that I just bought Deadly Premonition, and that sure is something.
