I have yet to play Heavy Rain, here's the story, I sent my mother, who happens to be a conservative christian to purchase my copy and one of Star Ocean as well for me because she was in a business trip to los angeles and Games are 105% more expensive in our country, prices can go as high as 130$ for a single game here. She just called me very outraged because the woman at gamestop that picked the game from the shelve asked her "how old her kid was" right before checking the game at the cashier my mom replied that her son was an adult, and as far as I heard from my mom the cashier told her that her son despite being an adult had a very unhealthy taste for video games because the title I asked her to pick up for me featured sex, explicit use of drugs and the most hardcore violence and gore the industry had ever witnessed...imagine the reaction of my mom, somebody who has absolutely no knowledge of video games aside from Mario, Wii sports and Wii Play and cares very little about the hobby as a whole and is extremely conservative about sexuality and vice. Long story short, my grand father which is a man just as conservative as she is in those aspects went with her to the store and both agreed that for my own good, it was better to only purchase my copy of Star Ocean but not Heavy Rain.
I haven't read that many reviews for heavy rain, I'm buying this game based on the recommendation of friends, trailers and my own hype for it, I haven't read Gamespot's Review, Nor IGN's nor watched Gametrailers video review in order to keep myself from running into a big *** spoiler, does Heavy Rain actually contain Obscene Sex Scenes, Explicit use of Drugs and Hardcore Violence or what? Im buying the game online one way or another, I can purchase stuff from U.S amazon and have the game mailed to my country by a third party company that takes care of the international shipping and all. But you know... Damn it, I wanted to play the game next week.
Before anyone comes to say LULZ your mommie didn't let ya play teh heavy rainz because of teh violence, my mother and I have a very close relationship and same with my grandfather, I respect their christian beliefs, Im also a christian at heart although nowhere near as conservative as they are, they didn't buy it because they thought it wasn't good for me, first and foremost and second, because not buying a copy of a video game is absolutely no big deal, and finally they thought that after that description of the game they told me over the phone was going to turn me off about it. Just to be clear :).
Again, does the game contain that kind of thing for real? I'm already dead set on buying it either way.
