Heavy Rain=Best Experience this gen

[QUOTE="xOMGITSJASONx"]

You guys crying about the plot holes name me ONE game with 30 different possible endings? Better yet, show me one with no plot holes. Matter of fact i think Heavy Rain had over 30 different possible endings. The game was a huge endevour that most devs are too cowardly to even attempt. Long live HR lol.

My platinum says hello. I loved looking at the different endings. Unlocking them were great fun imo. And since when does realism and a drama videogame make any sense? None to me. Videogames are just that, Videogames. If i want to experience realllife i wouldn't be playing videogames now would i?

I don't think it fell flat on it's face at all. In regards to heavy rain I was correct, and why am I not surprised you haven't tried DMC or Bayo? What do you think of yakuza? Or shmups such as deathsmiles? Also, GoW was western developed and plays nothing like DMC or Bayo, but NG is somewhat similar.

Some-Mist

As one of the ten people that purchased Yakuza 2, nobody plays Yakuza. And hardly anyone plays DeathSmiles.

And really, I don't see what enjoyment of Japanese games has to do with appreciating the ridiculous, sloppy plot of Heavy Rain. Deadly Premonition and Nier are both much more edifying games, even if they don't have ridiculous production values.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] The biggest plot-hole for me has nothing to do with the endings. How do you expect me to believe that a little kid, will survive neck deep in water in a cold warehouse for five days, without any food or anything ! The kid would die of low body temperature and god knows what... You don't really have to be a doctor to know this.GeneralShowzer

It wasn't winter. It wasn't that cold get real. The water was dirty sure, but he could have sipped on the water to stay alive 5 days. See, its how you want to look at it. I choose to look at it in a different way. Besides isn't it a videogame or realllife? Just a question for ya.

No offense, but its just one game i played. I play many games so i should do experiments on all the games i play every year to see if they are realistic? I don't think so. No thanks!! Heavy Rain a great drama and most unique game i played all year.

no game has had my heart pounding like heavy rain did on my first playthrough. yes there are better "video games" out there, but Heavy Rain is an experience i will never forget. once you start it, you can't put it down. thats saying alot for me because i tend to drag games out or lose interest easily, but when i played heavy rain, i played nothing else but that, and i would think about it between play sessions.

lostfan132

thats awesome you enjoyed it. too bad no one else did

nailed it on the head! add muramasa: the demon blade, mgs4, sin and punishment 2, and vanquish to that small list of games you avoided addressing.

but did it explain some plot holes people complained about?TintedEyes

Does it justify all the plot holes? GeneralShowzer

Bu, bu, bu it adds to the complexity! The developers didn't want to do dat! :P

[QUOTE="xOMGITSJASONx"]

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]Quality over quantity. Nobody is realistically going to experience those 30 endings anyway, they should have spent the time making different endings patching up the holes in the script that all surfaced at the end.enterawesome

Regardless of what your opinion is..Heavy Rain was one of my favorite games this year. I will end it with that:D.

[QUOTE="Some-Mist"]

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Hmm, perhaps because of preconceived-notions?

Name me those 12 i want to know. Thanks in advance!! :)

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="TintedEyes"] but did it explain some plot holes people complained about?TintedEyes

The way I see it, deleted scenes are supposed to be ancillary to the experience, not scenes that contributed significantly to the plot and would thus leave gaping holes in their absence.

why are people expecting any video game story to make any kind of impression on them at all?

if that's what you want for gods sake read a friggin book.

i'm sitting here next to a bookcase with titles in it like the return of the native (thomas hardy), remembrance of things past (marcel proust), heart of darkness(joseph conrad), the grapes of wraith (john steinbeck) on the road(jack kerouac), maus(art spiegelman), rommel the desert fox (desmond young) and hunderds of others just like those.

if you are looking for something tosatisfy your need for literature in the videogame aisle YOU ARE LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE.

Elitism. Mature. :roll:

The only reason this game wasn't released on the 360 is because Sony snatched up the publishing rights, not because of some supposed sense of PS3 owners being more "mature" than 360 owners.

*DISCLAIMER*

Mods, I am in no way being serious with Stevo. I am a non-attorney spokesperson.

limited tastes =/= not hardcore. You can be a hardcore gamer and play mass effect all day.

never heard of that first game you've listed, however, that 2nd game is quite good. Not that I expect many on here to know what it is.. I'm surprised you do. Then again, I'm not only into japanese/european/eastern developed games, but western developed games as well - such as mass effect, dead space, warcraft, uncharted, diablo etc..

I also wasn't aware that vanquish, mgs4, muramasa, bayonetta, devil may cry, yakuza, deathsmiles and other localized/game of the year worthy titles such as those are comparable to something like ketsui kizuna jigoku tachi. I figured they were way more mainstream - you know, something that if Stevo didn't have limited tastes and were into japanese developed games, that he would feel inclined to play.

It's pure speculation, but I don't believe it's just JRPGS. You see, with the limited tastes comment I think I nailed it right on the head. Especially with the type of feedback that I'm receiving :D

MGS4's cutscenes were a snoozefest, they were overdrawn out way too far and were extremely boring, if it wasn't MGS, I probably would've skipped over most of the cutscenes.

I wasn't trying to be rude. I was just saying if this was on the 360 most of the 360 owners wouldn't even bother playing it. They would just called it a movie or a lameQTE game and toss it aside and go back to halo or call of duty. Not saying all 360 owner are like this ( I own a 360 as well). ShadowNinja87

Is that not what it is? I beat the game it took no %$$# skill, it was basicly a video game novel. IT was a QTE game, what is you point?

[QUOTE="Some-Mist"]

[QUOTE="Verge_6"] D00d, u r SO not hardcore becuz you haven't played the Sticky Tongue Love Heart Ex games and Ketsui Kizuna Jigoku Tachi. You BAKA!

nope :) just proving a point. It appears as if you've mistaken my 'limited tastes' comment for 'not hardcore' which I wasn't implying what-so-ever. Exactly what part of your statement are you referring to?

I enjoyed it, but it didn't really strike me as amazing or anything.

no thanks! I'll leave it as is. I've already proved my point to an extent and have explained myself as well as I can. You apparently don't feel the need to prove your point, that is, if you even have one.

I'll stay content with the wide selection of games I enjoy while he remains stubborn with the few games he enjoys. As long as he's content there shouldn't be a problem :) it's just my observations.

I like the concept, but if Indigo Prophecy was any indication those developers don't have the writing skills needed to carry that kind of game.
