Very good list from an awesome game…

Hacker5788d ago

Awesome well that depends on whom your saying that too......i didn't purchase Heavy Rain because it was a QTE so therefor not awesome to me.

FangBlade5788d ago

You didnt purchase Heavy Rain because you dont have enough money to buy a PS3.

mrv3215788d ago

You didn't purchase Heavy Rain because your Jaded and don't own a PS3.

And it's not a simplistic shooter thriving off it's fan base.

120FPS5788d ago

Well I did purchase it and behind all the fancy looks and decent story line, the gameplay is...... well there is no gameplay its just pressing buttons and shaking the pad about

thebudgetgamer5788d ago

you just described almost every video game, i know where you're coming from though.

Question 15. How in the hell does Shelby fund all of this high-concept murdering? Not only does he own the warehouse complex, but he apparently helped set Paco up in business as a nightclub owner.

Holy sh**!!! Didnt anyone played the game?! Its that guy Paco from the Black lagoon that gives it to him in return for favors back in the old days! He helped Paco not on a money thing but rather in "I keep the cops away" thing.

redsquad5788d ago

You didn't purchase HEAVY RAIN, ergo your so-called deconstruction of it's gameplay is invalid and flawed.

Ever since the game's release, the chief criticism has been "look at all these plot-holes!" And the chief defense has been, "lolno, they're not really plot holes at all!"

Because, you know, the narrative quality and structure are both so utterly FLAWLESS. Honestly, the only game this gen that's handled storytelling worse than Heavy Rain was Dragon Age, and even then, we're splitting hairs.

OSU_Gamer5788d ago

This guy can mentally fill those plot holes all he wants. They are still plot holes.

The game was still awesome though. Its allowed to have criticisms. God forbid the game is not perfect.

Rocket Sauce5787d ago

Saying, "Madison's a journalist, so she knows everybody ever," is a big cop-out.

How hard would it have been to pass that information on to the player earlier in the game?

nikkisixx25788d ago

Their is always gonna be plot holes in a game if you search for them. But this is a good list.

cjflora5788d ago

Tons of movies have them if you go back and think about them. I mean The Sixth Sense is a highly acclaimed movie, but I can go back and list tons of plot holes or illogical things that occurred if he were "dead the whole time". <-- Sorry to anyone if this was somehow a spoiler after all of these years.

earbus5788d ago

I will get this eventually i owe it to qauntic dream for giving the gift of omikron the nomad soul man i loved that game.

Newtype5788d ago

I like how one of their first trophies praises you for buying the game to support a new game type.

Please stop comparing video games to movies

"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.

Yes, please stop. They're better than most hollywood drivel nowadays.

BLAKHOODe2010d ago

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.

sourOG2010d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2009d ago (Edited 2009d ago )

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.
