Funny, thought that was the popular opinion? That in fact its another love it or hate it game.

Canary4569d ago

I don't think so. Heavy Rain is one of those items that attracts rabid fanboys who can't tolerate any criticism, period.

God knows why.

I enjoyed Heavy Rain! I liked playing the game because for once it was something fresh, different from this shooter filled genre. It had different play mechanics - not just running and shooting. Plus it was a good game to replay and make different decisions, then see the outcome - awarded with bonus trophies as well :)

Edit: Poisonous-Snake beat me to it.

sikbeta4569d ago

It's not difficult to find people that didn't like HR, the game is unique and not the norm, I liked it, it wasn't brilliant, but it was really good IMO, gotta respect the opinions of others though

RememberThe3574569d ago

I actually think the game was quite brilliant. The way they connect all your decisions and allow you to control the direction of the story is brilliantly implemented(not to mention the quality of the story itself). Theres a reason we don't see this kind of story telling in videogames; it takes a lot of work and a brilliant mind.

I can understand why some people would enjoy it, but for what it is, it is brilliant.

grifter0244569d ago

Agree with remember.

The reason we dont see more games like this would be because of the casuals and subsequently look at what happened to Mass Effect.

Mass Effect was suppose to be like Heavy Rain just on a larger scale since it was going to be 3 games but it was dumbed down to a generic shooter.

Personally once I started playing Heavy Rain I loved it and couldnt put it down till I was finished. There were some parts that the game mechanics were irritating but other then that it was a good game.

I am actually looking forward to what else they bring out.

what a loser u got that comment from the website this vid is from. be original for once

MsclMexican4569d ago

I never considered heavy Rain as a game

Even Quantic Dream never considered it that...

Its an Interactive Drama,and one of the most unique genres to ever grace gaming.

It started with Shenmue, but I found HR very engrossing and interesting from start to finish

I'll take it over a generic war fps anyday

Bolts4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

This "game" is over rated as hell. It must take rabid Sony fanboy to cling on to the thought that this collection of random button presses is anything but steaming garbage.

It's not the mechanics, the worst offender in this crap fest is the plot. It makes no god damn sense. For a story driven game like this to have such multiple glaring plot holes is inexcusable.

JackBNimble4569d ago

besides the fact that heavy rain is a heeping pile of sh*t, it also has zero replay value once you have completed the endings.

I owned it for 1 week before it went to the recycle bin... then again this is just my opinion, and you know what they say? opinions are like assholes, every buddy has one.

Don't know if this guy is serious or trying to be funny.

Prince of Lies4570d ago

I feel your hate. It makes you stronger.

Poisonous-Snake4570d ago

Heavy Rain is indeed a breath of fresh oxygen and exactly what this industry needs instead of repetiveness shooters.

You're like Adam Sessler's psychotic fanboy.

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.

BLAKHOODe1250d 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.

sourOG1250d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1249d ago (Edited 1249d 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.

Have you played Detroit? While it’s my personal favorite, I fully understand many preferring Heavy Rain more. I’m glad you enjoyed Heavy Rain too.

bouzebbal1407d ago

def. one of my top 3 best experiences on PS3

ClayRules20121407d ago

bouzebbal

That’s awesome to hear! What’re the other 2 best experiences?

akaFullMetal1407d ago

Great game, need to get started on Detroit soon.

ClayRules20121407d ago

Glad you enjoyed the game! Yes, Detroit is a masterpiece of a game, and their best work to date “in my opinion”

ClayRules20121407d ago

Wow, 10 years...and yet, still one of the best/most emotional/thrilling gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

So grateful to Sony for believing in Quantic Dream’s vision for this game, and giving them a chance. I’ll never forget David Cage saying “We want to challenge the player, but not with the controller, but mentally, with their decisions of “How far would you go to save someone you love” Well, they broke my emotional gamer heart lol.

My teenage son refuses to play this game, because I’ve told him in little detail the emotional impact it had on me all those years ago. Maybe one day he will.

Z5011407d ago

Still have my origami crane they teach you how to make when you're installing for the first time.

C-H-E-F1407d ago

it's been 10 years? wow, that was so fast, I feel like this console gen went fast as well although it hasn't. I really look forward to the PS5 this holiday season though.
