I bought the game, and it actually sat around for a few days as i was somewhat busy, and was not sure what to expect from it but I wanted to give it a try. After starting the game, I hard a hard time putting the controller down. There is almost no point in the game where you are bored and think this is a good time to stop playing. The story is great, It connects on a emotional lever all throughout the game, the decisions it asks you to make, sometimes you have to pause the game and really think about what you want to do, what the outcome will be.
The graphics of the game are amazing, there is some low texture items at every once in a while but you have to look for them to notice. The voice acting is good but at times it looks a little off. The controls are weird at first but you get used to it as the game goes on. I have not finished the game yet, I had to work and stopped playing and now I feel like I want to hold off finishing it as I do not want the experience to come to an end. I have to admit the game does start off a little slow at the beginning, but once you get further into the game you will understand why it starts off slow. The game does a very good job of keeping you on your toes about the storyline, and also connecting to the characters you play.
I would recommend buying this game and not thinking about it twice, for the money its a great experience, something that is very lasting for me. And it also feels like a great change from MW2 or some of the other games out there, it really gives you new appreciation to owning a console.
"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.
What exactly is the David Cage experience, and is it of value? We examine two classics, Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, to find the answer.
Quantic Dream has announced a new video series to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Heavy Rain. Check out the first part here.
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.
Glad you enjoyed the game! Yes, Detroit is a masterpiece of a game, and their best work to date “in my opinion”
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.
Still have my origami crane they teach you how to make when you're installing for the first time.
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.
Nice review but wow you had a different reaction than I did. This game gets no more than a 7 from me. Broken camera, bad controls and bad voice acting killed it.
I dont give a sh!t that you're too blind and plain dumb to notice a great game when it comes. Im sorry but arent you the nerd with imaginary friends who sits on the forums here all day arguing with people that heavy rain is a bad game? ;)
There are hardly any bugs and glitches in the game, no more than any other game (less than ME2) I am calling you a fanboy simply because you act like one, you idiot. Mindlessly coming into ANY discussion about heavy rain and trashing it. Take note that every time you do, you are disagreed with by almost everyone. You are wrong and one day you'll realise this. This game is far from mediocre. Also the best voice acting that ive seen = best that ive witnessed, observed etc. Its extremely sad to get all grammar whorey with me over the internet, it makes you look like even more of a petulant child :)
Btw nice one calling me a retard, made you look real mature, surprised me because I didnt think you had THAT small a penis.
Good luck enjoying the best game of this year my friend (heavy rain btw)
wow look at crab and butterfinger trying to persuade everyone its just plain crap name me a game with a better story?
controls feel good
nothing up with camera
sorry but no glitches and i have the patch aswell that so called gives you more problems
you two just dont like because its not a FPS and its something thats completely different for a change and isn't your average go here kill here die here repeat
im sorry but this game is definitely worth the £60
I knew when I first saw this game that most people would not get it. For the longest time I have always wanted a videogame that acted like a movie where you could choose your own path to determine the ending. Thats exactly what I got. This game take choice to a whole new level, none of that good or bad ending crap. There is a lot of in between choices. A lot of choices that make you question what good and evil really is. It messes with your mind and you get on edge. Thats what impressed me the most. There were moments where my hands were sweating from the tension in the story.
If your not intellegent enough to see what the goal of this game was, then go back to MW2 and Halo 3. Most people are too blinded by console wars or scared of the unfamiliar to get this game and I truly feel sorry for those people.
butterfinger please shut up
your embarrasing yourself
if you see my profile it really shows i dont care about n4g and my profile i just go for the odd news article and post the odd time not like you comparing that im sh!t because i have no one tracking me wooopdy doo i dont care do you get a prize for being tracked? NO
your basically calling him because of the games he plays wow fanboy much?
people obviously know you talk trash when your being ignored by 49 user (soon to be the big 50 congrats) and you've been here the same time as me
and oh yeah i do have a job and place so dont assume im a kiddy grow up and stop thinking that because someone comments you that you have to argue it out and beat them
last time i post about you now you're getting to the point where im actually laffing at what your putting so im ignoring you basically i win in your terms
stop making it all into a competition dude
