worst part is knowing that the only tool you've got to cut off your own finger is a very dull, rusty old saw. At least, in feudal Japan (and, to some extent, in the modern day Yakuza family gang), samurais who dishonored the Bushido code of conduct and/or displeased their feudal lord in some way were forced to cut off the longest of their (remaining) fingers with a clean, sharp blade. A single powerful stroke would cut the finger clean. Notice how in the video, the guy had to strike many times.
This game is strange, it was the first game where genuinely did not want to see the character do something messed up. You don't care about knifing a soldier in COD, you wouldn't think twice about running over pedestrian GTA VI and assassinating people in Skyrim is kind of cool....
But this game? I was really bummed out when I had to do this part, I spent as long as I could looking for another way and then felt a bit deflated. You succeed, but feel like you just lost... really big time.
I considered not doing the slowly breathing in and out part. Mainly because there are people who do this with their adrenaline and heart pumping to where they don't even feel the pain.
Heavy Rain is the only exclusive PS3 game that made want to buy a PS3. I don't give a damn to Uncharted, God of War 3, etc., they're cool, but not cool enough to make me want a PS3. Just this: Heavy Rain. Even my beloved Tomb Raider, my favorite game series since 2000, is not as interesting as Heavy Rain. The best game I've ever seen in my life.
@delta2ish Yes, the golden years stoped after TR4. 5, 6 and 8 just sucked, Anniversary was the only REALLY cool among the recent games, but it's TR1 remade, then doesn't count. That's why they decided to reboot and rewrite Lara Croft's story from zero. The new game, simply called Tomb Raider - the TR1 of a new series, totally paralel to the classic - comes next year. I hope it brings Lara to top again.
But my admiration for Heavy Rain passed even my favorite series for more than 10 years.
Damn, that was crazy.... I wish they had more moral choices like this in games. Though the character in game is doing horrible things for a specific reason, you're doing it to either progress the story and see what happens next, or you just wanted to see something fucked up happen. It really makes you reflect a bit.
One of the reasons I'm not buying this game :/ and I'm 18, but this just takes games from games... to like freaking disgusting shit. I would do it for my son, but this is too much :/
@zolleen /agree. That should be the top comment. Although this is apparently the most horrifying scene of the game, I heard that there was something where someone is impaled by a power drill...
@zolleen the thing is, its YOUR choice to cut off your finger. The game doesn't tell you to do it, it just puts you in the situation. Unlike a film where the outcome is always the same and you have no input.
@zolleen not guaranteed, its not a 'yes' 'no' situation because there are many other ways to save the son. Its all up to you if you care about the son that much.
@zolleen i hope your a vegetarian like me........its awesome this is in video games.........its in real life to which is NOT awesome......becuz if u arent vegetarian and then eat meat then it would be kind of hipcrtical to say this is wrong YET you pay people to cut up and bucher animals like this in real life just so u can have your preacies steak...........and yes hidden camreas have prooved that aniamls are treated MUCH worse then this guy in this fake hologram VIDEO GAME is treated. muchwors
@nerdymom2 Actually, I am a vegetarian, so your entire paragraph isn't of much use. Understand what you were trying to do, but the MEANING of the video game is the point. And cutting your finger off? It doesn't matter if it's a video game. it sticks in your head.
@zolleen well i respect your point and views. and i said IF you eat meat......notice i said that? it's because i wasn't judging you ans saying you was not a vegetarian i just did not know......... and well thats awesome to find another vegetarian out their. you plan on raising your kid vegetarian? it makes since because according to your profile you live in california ( no stalker or anything) and california has A TUN of vegetarian and vegan people. so it makes since your one of them
@bluenalu7 creppy is good........... this kind of shit happens in real life to.......... ever visit a slaughter house? you'd be vegan or vegetarian over night..........
proud to be vegetarian because animals are NOT our slaves.
This is a prime example how setting can make a game. So many games have insane amounts of gore and no one even flinches. But I'm sure I'm not the only gamer who felt so much when he cut off a single finger.
@gonepishing I disagree, I thought he did a great job. There was maybe one point of the whole thing that seemed unauthentic, but that's it. The rest was incredibly accurate.
I love how they put this game together like a movie. I felt sorry for him at this part too. I was down to under a minute left and then I decided to do it. This game has a great way of getting you attached to Ethan.
@appleslinky I wish you did too :/ this game provided quite an experience. There's a $100 off deal at gamestop right now for a PS3. It should come in your email if you have their rewards card.
