Wouldn't it be great if it rained for the midnight launch??

Especially if the rain was particularly heavy.

LOL.

Isn't that pretty short for modern era games? At least there'll be replayability with the massive amount of decisions and storyline choices you can make.

Though truth be told 8 hrs is more then enough for me.

Not really unfortunetly. It's rare any longer to get a game over 10 hours long anymore. That's why I try and always play at hardest level to try and get the most out of the game.

You mean get the most out of what you paid for.

Let's face it, if we rented most of these games, we'd be able to beat it within our rental period and still have spent less dollars than the amount of hours we played the game. Instead, we pay more than six bucks per hour played. We're not only getting robbed, but we're robbing ourselves.

This is why GTA IV is still the greatest game of all time. Not only does the single player take forever, but you can still do whatever the hell you want meanwhile and play online. This is why sports games with franchise modes rock too (as long as the game is good).

I don't mind the length with games like this. On shooters and other games it bugs me, but something like this with all the dialog and whatnot it's different...

I think he was saying they took 11 hrs TOTAL.

oh..i sure hope so.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

It looks like if I ever have a sleeping problem I know which game to play.

Outside of the graphics, I don't have anything good to say about this game. The camera needs improvement and the game needs a run/sprint button.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

After being completely oblivious about this game, the demo sold me on a Day One purchase. I could care less about length as long as it's a joy for me to playthrough. I'd much rather have 8-10 awesome hours than level grinding, slow spots, and repetition in a 40+ hour game (though I do love my RPGs).

Plus, I'd much rather have my purchasing dollars supporting unique, innovative properties than the latest Call of Halo 4: Modern Killzone.

That's what she said.

OMG, classic Pared, just classic.

I finally got to play the demo and .........WOW...this game is what an old PC gamer like myself dreamt of when I played the old Sierra games like Police Quest and the game Under a Killing Moon. I used to play games like that ALL the time back in the late 80's!

I think it's funny though that when you read in magazines and on sites about a game like this, they talk about how innovative it is and how it's never been done before when they have, just so long ago that no one remembers the genre. It's just funny to me that we go through these cycles where like certain types of games are popular, then die out cuz people burn out on them, then when they come back they are considered NEW and NEVER-BEEN-DONE-BEFORE and everyone loves them again. I guess when you get older you see that the saying "what's old is new again" truly is something that is a valid observation.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

The demo is just a scene from the full game, right? It's not something unique...I don't want to play it if it's part of the game...

its a scene from the game. but i remember reading about the scene in a preview a while back. I only played the first scene. Nothing much happens story wise, but you get a feel for the immersion and controls.

i'd say play it to see if the game is up your alley.

Agree 100%.

I used to play 2 games in particular. Uninvited and Deja Vu on a Macintosh 512k in the late 80/early 90's. All you did was walk around and pick up stuff to find clues in order to solve the mystery.

It's not new (for older cats), but I'm glad someone made a game like this with current gen tech.

Oh, i know the game's up my alley (really enjoyed Indigo Prophecy (except for the ending dumb stuff)), so I'll just hold off for now
