Heavy Rain Review - Explicit Gamer

Explicit Gamer, "Heavy Rain might not appeal to every gamer out there, but those who enjoy story as much as or more than action will find a truly compelling one here. Great graphics, an excellent soundtrack and a unique presentation make this a must try, if not a must buy."

He only shows up when the score is a 7 or lower, which also means this topic won't pass 50 degrees.

i am glad to see this game being well received, i am just getting sick from FPS/TPS these days :).

thank god for having Demon's souls, heavy rain and soon Last guardian :)

Edit: forget about God of war III lol

nix5171d ago

i'm picking this up real soon... q:

those two 4-4.5/10 reviews were there for hits only and to bring down the Meta average.

Saaking5171d ago

Just finished the game and it's was well worth the 60 bucks. Played it for 8 hours straight. I mean, this is a game you simple can't put down till you finish. It's unique, thrilling, and well-told. Great game.

The only flaw, imo, is the walking. It got a bit hard sometimes(too stiff), but it didn't ruin the experience.

bjornbear5171d ago (Edited 5171d ago )

its not fair!! this game is teh flopz!!! xD

jk!

I been playing it and so far Im LOVING it!

I've never regretted not pressing the right buttons so much in my life =(

*****SMALL SPOILER!!*****

When i didn't help shaun do his homework, the next day when he got in trouble, I actually felt bad for him, because I GENUINELY forgot (imagine that xD)

when I replay it im going to be a better father!!!! =(

****END SMALL SPOILER*****

@ moron:

ehm.....it depends

i think depending on how you play the game, scott sshelby might end up being blamed for it, but it isn't him....he's just caught in the middle of something =/ and considering how he's been acting, i'm sure the cops will consider him as a suspect at some point....but i doubt it because that is too simple for this game =) nice try tho....moron

hagla5171d ago

Lol you are literally the ps3 fanboy version of bungie... You say you just finished heavy rain and played 8 hours straight but your comments tell a different story...

You posted this message three hours ago so therefore should have no posts for atleast 8 hours before that, but you also have posts 5, 6 and 10 hours ago and you conducted your daily visit 8 hours ago? I really don't think you ever play games...

P.S. I am a fan of the PS3 and i hate reading your one eyed posts, even though you love the PS3

raztad5171d ago (Edited 5171d ago )

@hagla

Come on buddy give Saaking a break. Do you think he didnt put the game down for 8 hours straight, not even for having a meal or going to the toilet?

Some of my friends are having a blast with HR. I'll get it later, want to finish GoW Collection and GoW3 before it.

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.

BLAKHOODe1255d 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.

sourOG1255d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1254d ago (Edited 1254d 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.

bouzebbal1412d ago

def. one of my top 3 best experiences on PS3

ClayRules20121412d ago

bouzebbal

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

akaFullMetal1412d ago

Great game, need to get started on Detroit soon.

ClayRules20121412d ago

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

ClayRules20121412d 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.

Z5011412d ago

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

C-H-E-F1412d 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.
