Too bad Fahrenheit didn't age well at all... It was a blast when it was bearable to play a game on the PlatStation 2 that tried to sport a realistic graphic style, but now it just looks like grainy crap with awkward characters which ruins the only thing making the game playable, the plot.
Fahrenheit is the better game. If you want to play it, skip the american release and play the european release. It plays better and it isnt missing any content
Jen proves within the first minute of the review that she has no idea what she's talking about. This notion that your actions actually determine much of the story's outcome is not true; it's just Quantic Dream's marketing line, and she just repeats it uncritically. The game is extremely linear, and, in some instances, can even be "played" by just putting the controller down and watching the action on the screen. It's an extremely passive experience.
@crazymiles so if i kill off madison and jaden and fail all the origami tests the edning will be the same its true what you do can determine what happens
I have only visited the Heavy Rain gamefaqs message boards once and at that time a random ass decided to make a topic called: "Insert killer name is the killer! Insert killer name is the killer!". The thread was deleted within a minute, but I just came in at the right time to let that dude spoil the game for me. The name is still stuck in my head so I'll probably never play the game even though I really want to.
@LeneAlexandraa dont worry, I got the game spoiled due to a youtube comment. even though I knew the killer from the get go, the game is still enthralling and its interesting to see how blank acts during the game
I know how Jen feels when she says she's overwhelmed by too many decisions in Heavy Rain. As an OCD, obsessed, video game completionist, playing Heavy Rain was my worst nightmare. I had to get the best ending. I couldn't miss any locations by having a character die or making the wrong choice. I couldn't live with the consequences if I failed an action. I had to have all the trophies. An entirely new play through to get one trophy? Are you mad? These are the problems I had with Heavy Rain.
What is a Mario gamer? Bad games are bad games. Just like Indigo Prophecy, it had an interesting hook, but it fell on it's face in execution. Worth trying at least once, but many are going to be unimpressed by the game in total after the wow-factor evaporates.
@IcarusMoonsight Nothing like Indigo Prophecy... at least the QTE in this game is done right... the Simon Says on IP was bs... LOL... plus the story on both games were really good... I don't really see those 2 as games... but rather interactive drama... like the devs say.
Sorry but if the "gameplay" is bad, it means the game is bad. You play the game, therefore if playing it is bad, it's bad. Go watch a movie or read a book to be on the edge of your seat for fuck sake.
This game has more plot holes than answers. Everyone in this game and I mean EVERYONE is either homicidal maniac, psyhopath or has some emotional problems. Really after 2 hours I expected every new NPC to try to kill my character and I was always right.
I hated plot and storyline as much as I hated controls and gameplay.
This game is 5/10 max and mostly thanks to graphics and music.
Maybe I am easily entertained but after the park part and you loose the other kid and you can call his name by pressing X. Run around in a circle mashing the X button ... I laughed...I can entertain myself so easily XD
Sounds like a horrible game, that would make a good movie. Jen went through the whole checklist of gameplay aspects that make it a game in the first place and called every single one of them bad. I think, if the plot is the only thing your game has going for it, you should change your occupation.
@shadowtsunami Well we all know, that professional Game Reviewers cannot be trusted unless it's CGR ;-) There are a lot of bad or mediocre games that get high scores, which do not reflect the consumer perspective at all.
@droppingpenny however sometimes consumers bash the game for no reason, i've seen people just bash games that where obviously great which makes me laugh
@droppingpenny Well tbh I thought this was a great game and everyone i know who played it loved it too. Just a tip if you get a PS3 then you should give it a go. But I also agree this would make a great movie :)
@koosjuh75 Well I think this depends on the definition of "Game" I'm pretty sure you can like Heavy Rain for what it is, but how much "game" really is in it? Ist the Interactive part really necessary in this case or is it just an obstacle? In my honest opinion it would be better off without the most of the interactive parts. I think you can keep the QTEs if you just make a DVD Game out of it which could work much better. But again It depends on the perspective.
OCD got the better of me in this game so I always reloaded a checkpoint whenever I messed up. So I guess I ultimately got the "good" ending. Without using spoilers, does anyone know if you can screw up repeatedly and still finish the game? I was always worried about hitting a dead end.
You know, when it comes to games like this, I'd rather just put on a movie. Seriously, this is a typical thriller, mystery film, with quick time events.
