First of all it's rated Mature for two reasons: it's designed for the mature gamer, and it has tits, ass, blood, death and all that cool stuff. Besides, I just don't see young gamers (those MW2 fanatics) having the patience to sit through it."
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look at 7 video games where dying doesn't mean the end, as the story and world simply continue on without you.
We present a list of horror games with depressing endings, each known for its unique experience and storytelling.
"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.
I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.
I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.
No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
We need more games like this.
Definitely picking this game up day one. If it ends up being a crap game, who cares, the actress that played Madison is hot. A little video-game boobs can go a long way. :D
Need money to buy this game.
"Heavy Rain has the best, and most photo-realistic, graphics to be seen on console to date. The amount of work Quantic Dream put into even the tiniest detail is just crazy. The thing that stands out the most is the character models; the definition in their complexion is unbelievable – you can see the pores in their skin, the acme scars, and every little crease and wrinkle. The character´s facial expressions are pin-point precise."
Excellent score.
I expect this game to be a critical hit.
