PALGN: Heavy Rain Review

While slightly weighed down by its ambition, Heavy Rain provides a riveting mature-themed story, and an adventure driven by the decisions you make and the actions you succeed in. And best of all, there is nothing out there quite like it.

Especially one that tries something so different compared to what is currently available this generation. It's a refreshing change of pace (for once).

t8505162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

Why would anyone like to play this? id rather watch a movie.

DarkBlood5162d ago

couldn't agree more (Quantic Dream) really nailed down the replayability of this game on my second playthrough and new scenes just open up it felt like reading a book over again only with different parts being written up to change the outcome of the ending.

I actually had this thought about a third playthrough where im going to purposely fail everything in the game and see where that takes me lol.

I don't know what's worse; the fact you aren't banned yet, or the fact you have so many agrees.

nix5162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

i'm just curiously watching vids on youtube to see what other people got. mine was pretty sad one. next time, i guess.

EDIT:
@DarkBlood (below): i don't know dude.. IGN says it's only 7 endings. there are several epilogues though... 22. ok.. make that 18. i believe that's the official list.

DarkBlood5162d ago

@nix

22 endings o.O thought there was only like 8?

rockleex5162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

That t850 actually got 6 agrees and only 2 disagrees for saying that.

I'm also surprised that N4G Jewbot mod's comment hasn't been removed yet.

In fact, I'm surprised about a lot of things about N4G. I guess we've developed a tolerance for these kind of stuff. :S

@below:

Well I guess Jewbot is just more dedicated to being a mod than the mods are. Lol.

SilentNegotiator5162d ago (Edited 5162d ago )

That's almost as bad as one of Bungie's posts.

"I'm also surprised that N4G Jewbot mod's comment hasn't been removed yet"
Well, he just created his account less than an hour ago and it's like, 4AM central time here in the states. I'm sure the mods will do something when they log on in the morning.

nix5162d ago

ha ha.. i just hope mods don't ban the whole continent for that spam comment there.. q:

Jewbot got six bubbles, scary

SilentNegotiator5162d ago

LOL, you're on a roll, man. You're leaving one heck of a mess for those mods (Fight the power!).

Yep, it'll probably take the mods an entire 5 minutes to delete your comments and ban you. That'll really show 'em!

TheBand1t5162d ago

And then he'll just make another account. Such is the way of N4G.

this game is solid, unique and different to anything on any other console =) HR FTW!

Not too excited about this game, having tried the demo. GOW III is just so much more exciting.

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.

medman1250d ago (Edited 1250d 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.
