Zero Punctuation: Heavy Rain

thought this one was pretty funny

doubt i'll bother playing this game
anyone played or like it?

I loved it. Too bad I'm too busy playing Ace Attorney Investigations.....Or I'd be playing Yakuza 3.

worth buying or just worth playing?

Worth playing...Like, A couple times. But the first playthrough will always be the most impactful. Because the main plot doesn't change, No matter what you do.

IT'S A MOVIE

An Interactive Movie...And it's creator (David Cage) likes to call it an "Interactive Drama" XD

I tried the demo... and fucking HATED IT!!!

Quicktime events involving a very awkward button holds in order to shimmy through a tight space is NOT immersion! It's fucking busy work! Oh, and I should not have to hold down a button in order to fucking WALK!

that just reeks of pretention

this game will suffer a hefty price drop me thinks
when everyone starts trading it in
i might get it then

but yeah that button to walk thing was dumb
if he wanted immersion he should of made the controls user friendly

At heart, it really is just a movie with QTEs. If you're willing to just 'experience' it rather that 'play' it, it's most definitely worth a try.

I hate how I had to do QTE for something as pretentious as turning off the radio and opening the door.

If I put on my fanboy-goggles, that's probably the developer trying to make you think about all your actions.

Otherwise yeah, that sucked.

You all suck and Bob is the only cool person.

I think I'll drink some Orange Juice.

*Holds R2 until in front of fridge*

Okay now...

<- *opens fridge*

And now to shake it.

*moves the entire controller in an up and down motion*

And now to open it.

*spins right stick*

And now to drink.

*holds up on the right stick until Ethan stops drinking*

Now to return the carton to it's place.

*presses down on right stick*

And finally, To shut the door.

*presses left on right stick*

....And that was just to get a drink. Imagine all the other shit you have to do.

I still love this game though, I love being given even a little bit of control over a story. Even if the controls do feel like they were handled by a 2 year old. Who holds R2 to walk? Isn't it basically a commandment that forward on the left stick/D-Pad or right/left on the D-Pad was to walk/move around?

I think it's fun anyway. It's fun pretending that the PlayStation 3 was turned into the Wii's long lost brother. XD

Nah, Although they were working on that stick-like thing that could be used to play games almost like the Wii did. Something so you could play Baseball and shit and actually feel like you're playing baseball.

But what I meant is that half the time, You have to tilt the controller, move it, swing it, and all this other shit that it sometimes feels like playing an off-brand controller only Wii.
