Heavy Rain

Played the demo, immediately got hooked!

Anyone played the actual game? If so, did it keep your attention throughout?

Indra · August 23rd, 2010, 03:39 PM

waiting for the price drop, but they're being stubborn with this one. I can wait.

I just started playing this and it's an incredible game so far. One of the best single player experiences I've ever had.

I loved that scene. A great example of how games can be used for narrative storytelling and placing you in the shoes of a character. His frustration is palpable in a way that you couldn't get even watching a movie.

It was ok. It's like an adventure game, except it isn't because there are no puzzles.

Mooreberg · August 28th, 2010, 06:43 PM

Great game. The "tutorial" part is longer than it needed to be but the game keeps going strong rather than falling off a cliff halfway through the way Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit did. There is use of a camera angle in a particular scene that seems like a weird attempt to deliberately mislead the player but it is a spoiler so I won't specify. This is basically the first video game to capture the atmosphere of a movie like Seven.

I didn't even realize until I recently that I actually have Quantic Dream's first game Omikron on Dreamcast. Not sure if it's aged well enough to play through it.

So, where exactly are you being buried?

And how are you feeling these days? Depressed? The world sucks and everybody hates you.

lol, it's $55 at Toys R Us.

I'm waiting for one too. I can't justify paying more than $30 for this.

They've released a newer edition with the Move support on the box. Not sure how that affects the pricing.

CarlosRE3 · October 1st, 2010, 11:19 PM

suppose to be a patch also coming soon

Ibe6yoube9 · October 12th, 2010, 12:01 PM

It's $40 at Toys R Us ($55 plus 25% off), the patch is ~1.4GB and the Move support is a let down.

MaKaVeLi2003 · March 24th, 2012, 12:17 PM

Totally forgot about how bad I wanted to play this game when it came out. I didn't have a PS3 at the time. Just picked it up though, hope it's good!

Bigg Russ · March 24th, 2012, 09:15 PM

I keep putting it off. The demo just seemed slow as fuck.

GuitarGuru · March 24th, 2012, 09:37 PM

It is such a good experience. Loved it immensely.

MaKaVeLi2003 · March 24th, 2012, 10:01 PM

This game alone was worth every penny spent on the console itself. Jesus, I can't put it down. Been playing since my last post. And just seen some tits to boot.

GuitarGuru · March 25th, 2012, 07:17 AM

Jason? Jason? Jason!!!

I do that every time we go to the mall. My wife wants to run and hide. Good times.
