Even and this is a QTE....you just press only the R2 and he is walk." We're often bored".:?

By that logic, that makes every game ever made full of QTE's.

You don't control him,you only press R2 and he is walk.........

wrong again. it controls like grim fandango but rather then pressing up you press R2. you can control what direction he goes

Did you really see the video I posted?

Have you really see the first 10 minutes of the game....??

Have you really seen the whole game? No, you have not. Don't judge what you don't know.

You're missing some info there. Yes, R2 moves the character forward but you control the character's head with the left control stick whihc moves him in the direction he is moving. So you do control him.

You hold R2 to walk, you use the left analog stick to control his or her's direction. Were basically talking about tank controls (a control scheme that will no doubt generate a lot of haters). It helps Heavy Rain maintain cinematic camera angles without confusing the player, although I've yet to see a gameplay vid that didn't make the character's movements look jittery because of this.

lulz

It's so precious how I'm automatically bashing the game because I mention a part of it that cows are sensitive about.

Panosola

that scene is 10 minutes long and some people act like its the whole game. i wasnt accusing you i was just pointing that out before the fanboys rant about it as usual

But the whole game is like the first 10 minutes of the game......."QTEs for really everything and anything".

But shooting games are all about guns, guns and more guns too, why are there still so many people playing them?:|

no one isdenying that the controls are bad but its a adventure game not a action game. the controls are like that for a reason

Yeah I stated that reason, but to be honest I probably would have preferred it if I had the option to use the directional pad for my tank controls. If they're going down that road they might as well give me something that I'm used too, when it was first explained it just seemed a hell of a lot more awkward. But we'll see how it feels.

it sounds (and looks) like it will control exactly like grim fandango. which wasnt bad but it did feel abit awkward at times

It's been said many times before, it's not a game. People can spin the definition of "game" however they want, but the word will never include Heavy Rain.

Nah, I bet it will at least get an 8.0 here. It will be quite the polarizing game, though.

I may not be in love with Heavy Rain like some but it is a game no matter what anybody says, it's just a throwback to the basic adventure game formula but completely in 3D and with some new control options, and if the videos serve right it breaks down the puzzle elements quite a bit. It's a game, just not in a style we are used to seeing much anymore

It's an adventure game, that's what they do. Play through Grim Fandango and you will see what I mean. A "game" doesn't have to mean running around and shooting everything.

Any of those sites legit???? You know IGN, Giant Bomb, Gamespot, GameInformer, Gametrailers the sites that actually do this professionally and not some blog type reviewer that is 3 dudes working out of their mom's basement.

They're as legit as this site that gave it a 6 :lol:

Yup. It's sad that unless you can shoot something these days, it's not a game.

Quote of the day

I do not know if that is a good thing or not haha. After playing ME2 for 50 hrs I can say it should of been rated higher than a 7.0. As for Heavy Rain judging from I.P and what I know about HR it deserves an 8 at least.

I had no expectations for this, really. I kinda thought that it'll probably be good, but not for me. Looks like it's not that good and still not for me.

1 low score........1.......and the psychics and time travellers are all calling flop. Another brilliant example of internet forum failure and another reason why jocks shoved you in lockers and girls wouldn't look at you. Congratulations.beekayjay

Ok, what school do I go to? Yeah, that's what I thought. Keep making baseless assumptions though.

If that site is legit, oh well, that's one low score out of like a dozen sites that have given the game 9s or better? I think the person at that site that did the review was smoking something when he played the game for review..haha. CAN'T WAIT for Heavy Rain!!!

I think Heavy Rain has less than 5 reviews total, this one included, and I can see it isn't a game for everyone so a low score here or there isn't out of the question. Also almost every review out now is from a foreign or uncredible review site (I know OPM reviewed it) Metacritic only has two listed (OPM and some foreign website that I've never heard of) both 90+ though. I can't really judge how Heavy Rain will do critically, but if I had to guess I'd say it will be pandered by some and loved adoringly by others, as for what I've seen, I'm not impressed. Also as I've said before, this 6 is just as meaningless as any other review from a source nobody has heard of.

[QUOTE="fenwickhotmail"]That's low :(jasonharris48

mass effect 2 got a 7/10 there..

Oh they just have a crappy taste in games :P
