Just wait until you fail the QTE's.

"Ethan... whoa that was quick."

Sigh... if only there were a Minute Man trophy...

Or a premature trophy.

Played another hour and a half last night. This game is like a great mini series that keeps dragging me back in.

Also, am I the only person who purposefully kept messing up taking off the bra? Made the scene more realistic for me. lol

Certainly brings a new meaning to quick time events...

I was trying to describe this game to a friend of mine and the best thing i could come up with was that it is the video game version of those choose your own adventure books from when we were kids.

That pretty much sums it up, except for you can't "peek" at the results of your choice before making them.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Finally picked this game up and man am I enjoying it. I loved indigo prophecy so I knew I would like this game. My biggest problem is sometimes i can't think fast enough about the decision I want to make. If you are an avid reader and loved choose your own adventures definately pick this up.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

When I first started playing this I was put off by some of the mundane tasks that you have to do. I was almost tempted to return it today. The longer I played though, the more interesting the story got. It's really starting to pick up steam. I loved Indigo Prophecy as well, so this one seemed like something I might enjoy.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Totally agree Pappy. I said earlier it's a strange game because it can be one of the most boring games while at the same time being one of the most intense.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Well, I've been watching my wife play through and it's been comedic watching her fight the controller.

Spoiler

She got caught with Ethan in the subway. Saw an entirely different scene. This one was a HUGE stretch as Ethan is caught and accused without any real evidence and then Jayden puts it all on the line to free him (waling out in a police jacket with the hood on isn't suspicious at all either).

My wife and I were like "yeah right..." through the whole thing. That was probably the biggest stretch of the imagination I've seen in the game. I did enjoy getting to see Jayden have another battle with his addiction though.

The game also doesn't do much to transition from at as it automatically jumps to the same base scene in the hotel with Ethan and Madison right after.

Overall, it's been fun watching her play. She's just getting ready to do the trial with the drug dealer's house.

SoxFan explained it quite well:

Yeah, it's kind of a hole in the story and seems almost thrown in to push along the "unwitting killer" angle. Still, I explained it to myself as he was so guilt-ridden about his first son he subconsciously latched on to the most prominent "bad guy" archetype currently available to justify his self-loathing. So he made or found the origami during his "blackouts."

This could also explain why later he was so convinced he was the Origami Killer, even though there was far too much logical evidence refuting such ideas.

My first thought was a simpler (and for me, less interesting...which is why I changed it in my head) idea. It could be that Shelby was tracking Ethan all along and simply planted them. Since he is an ex-cop/current PI, such attention to detail is what made him so untraceable as a serial killer for all that time. He was obviously monitoring the father's through the various trials, so it may be plausible.

Further, if he was seen following him, his role as PI could explain it away, given the fear of the killings (and looking at how readily the police linked Ethan with so little evidence...lol).

There are some holes/leaps of logic in those too, but far less than the actual story leaves in that regard.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

I can't even begin to explain how good this game is. I just started it about 9pm and finally had to force myself to put it down. I honestly think this game is as close to a 10 as you can get.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Am I the only one who has trouble controlling the fat man? Great character, but he seems to want to move in his own direction.

Did you turn off the camera?
