Alan Wake or Heavy Rain?

What? The ending to Alan Wake is DLC? Wonder how much I can get for my 360 on craigslist. Humble-Adonis

i haven't played alan wake yet but i think it'll probably be better than heavy rain. however this is only because heavy rain absolutely ruins itself with a horrible conclusion. for people who played indigo prophecy half the game was awesome but the it went all sci-fi matrixy multiply that times 10 and heavy rain is like that. the last forth of that game ruins the entire experience. alan wake from what i hear as solid action in it

Lulz, your decisions make the conclusion :lol:, you made the conclusion horrible :lol:

I, too, got a "bad" ending on my first playthrough. One little mistake and it's all downhill, kind of like life.

Episodic format is great, when each episode is a fraction of regular retail price. Unless, of course, each episode provides a full retail experience, which is unlikely.

Heavy Rain all day, the game is waaay different from Alan Wake.

I really don't understand why people compare the two. Alan Wake's core gameplay mechanic is using a flashlight and a Gun (pretty typical)

Heavy Rain's core gameplay mechanic is 'circumstances & thier cause & effect'

No, this is no contest or anything. I remember renting Heavy Rain a while ago, and I liked all the myetery-solving parts of the game. It reminds me of something like Alan Wake, only without the shooting and stuff.

Now, when I look at Alan Wake, it reminds me a little of Heavy Rain.

My question: Without giving spoilers to either game, which game is better? Personally, I'm rooting for Alan Wake. I don't have it yet, but from what I've read so far it's going to be quite good.

The only bad thing about the game is that we would have to pay about 5000+ MSP to see what will really happen to Wake.

But Heavy Rain had more interactivity.

???? How do you know the pricing of the DL content ? Is there a link ? I though it would be for free or for 800 MSP max

So, the confirmed DLC is free

Now that is good i guess, it is a bit far from .... the 5000 MSP, free = 0 MSP

And I realise there's "22 endings" (more like variations). I'm talking about the Origami Killer's identity though.

Why not get both? I enjoyed Heavy Rain immensely but Alan Wake is a whole different experience. They aren't even remotely alike.

HR i would think, AW has a mediocre story. HR has a good story and is very originalKevinButlerVP

So you played the game? And Heavy Rain isn't really that unique, IP was pretty similiar. And I know for one thing HR's story hada billion plot holes, I wouldn't call that "good".

[QUOTE="Karnage108"][QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"] I know the ending and i can tell you it is very un-originalKevinButlerVP

In that it's very, very similiar to IP? And you didn't answer the fact that HR story was riddled with terrible plotholes.

if anyone played Heavy Rain on Hard mode it was crazy! especially if you want all your characters to be alive 'til the end. so much tension on different scenes. and the story itself was very touching. you would really feel sympathy for the main character.

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"] actually HR is probably the most unique game this genKevinButlerVP

Oh, sorry lol, it's Indigo Prophecy.

I guess it depends on what you want to play. Another movie from the PS3 or another shooter from the 360.

I would say both are rentals.

I think 98% of us haven't played AW yet, so hard to choose.

HR i would think, AW has a mediocre story. HR has a good story and is very originalKevinButlerVP

I wouldn't know, because one game isn't out yet.

But Heavy rain had some HUGE problems. It' still an okay game, I wish destructoid didn't do those articles, I beat the game and was happy and then read the plotholes article and my opinion lessened by quite a bit.

EDIT: It was gamesradar that did the plotholes article.

Well i would of been able to give you an honest answer but since its raining i cant go out and get Alan Wake :cry:

HR i would think, AW has a mediocre story. HR has a good story and is very originalKevinButlerVP

One is a movie inspired thriller game while the other is a TV inspired thriller game.

Take your pick, though for the money movies are usually more important to our modern society.

I havent gotten to play Alan Wake yet, i think i will really like it, but i somehow doubt i will like it more then Heavy Rain, which i really loved and gave a 9.5.
