Jesus Christ, Ethan, how are you not dead? So far, the running injury count.

Severe Concussion from getting mack trucked in the ****ing face
Broken Ribs from another car accident. *sidenote: Ethan, dude, stay away from cars
Severe Electrical Burns
Slit wrists
Missing a damn pinky finger now.

This is like watching Saw, but all of this is happening to one person. It is depressing as all hell...but I am addicted! I think I'm going to finish up tomorrow since I just escaped Blake and Jayden in the subway.

I started beating the crap out of him but let him win. Question about the mall scene near the beginning

Spoiler

is there a possibility that the child doesn't die ?

I don't think so. It is pretty much central to the plot.

I love this game. The deeper I get into the story, the more intrigued I get and the more I wanna keep playing. The control scheme actually really adds to the immersive of it.

I've only played about an hour, but I'm pretty sure the lil' guy is a goner.

Not going to lie, almost got a little choked up when he got hit. I have a child of my own, and it just really makes you think how you would act or feel.

By the way, lovin' this game so far. I pray more games go this route in the future. Maybe if this game does well enough (I'm sure it will), they'll make a sequel, or perhaps a franchise

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Just "finished" the game. Going to play through it again, to make some different choices. I really hope that more games are made like this one. I know it isn't for everyone, but I really enjoyed the experience. It really leaves you breathless.

Spoiler

I really do need to play through it again. I didn't do too well, lol. Only one character survived, and it was the Origami Killer. I freaking loved every minute of it though.

Spoiler

wait.. only the killer? way different from mines.Shelby and Jayden were the ones that were dead in mines. Which four are the main characters? Ethan, Madison, Shelby, and Jayden correct? Wonder how you would go about having them all alive at the end. But then again thats what makes this game so good.

Ending Spoilers:

Spoiler

In my first playthough everybody but the Killer and Jayden lived. (I f'd up at Mad Jack's and Jayden died.)

In my the first part of my second playthrough everybody but the Killer and Ethan lived. (I f'd up Madison's escape from the cops)

In the second part of my second playthrough everybody but the Killer lived. I guess for game purposes it counts Shaun as one of the characters to live.

I remember reading previews saying that the controls were going to be a sore point for the game. They couldn't have been more wrong. There are so many action sequences where the control scheme REALLY adds to the intensity and stress of a situation. There have been several occasion so far that have literally put me on the edge of my seat.

hmm.. nope. Did you wander in different directions or did you just follow with the matches?

i got a little turned around by misreading the wind...

nudity spoilers...

Spoiler

anyone else bothered by the sex scene? it didn't make sense to me to have them do it then. ethan says that he has hours til his kid dies, he's about to do the last trial, but first, he wants to throw leg to this chick? ehhh...

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

thanks Texan.. that makes sense

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Game is okay.

The actual "game" parts of Heavy Rain work and work well, the action sequences for instance. More than anything, though, I came away from the experience thinking that just about any halfway decent movie (Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, even Pulp Fiction come to mind), if done in CGI and peppered with QTEs, would be a better game than this.

I can see where Heavy Rain might serve as a launching pad for a new genre, "interactive drama" as they're calling it, but there's just not enough here to truly think about (almost everything is spoon-fed to you), not enough real choices (tough moral dilemmas should have been rampant, not just scattered into a few scenes), and not enough challenge to really call this a "great game."

7/10

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Yeah, that was amazing.

Really a big fan of Jayden the character too.

Jayden reminds me of Edward Burns, lol.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

I'm pretty disappointed with how limited the control options were during that shower scene...

Am I a bad person for thinking this is hilarious? I love OS.
