Adventure games should be on PC

[Chromie]

One of the few games I have been looking forward to for a console.

[twincast]

I'm so looking forward to playing this.

And replayability seems to be beyond the roof.

But still, too expensive for eight hours.

And I'm already short on time and money currently as is anyway.

Will get it (and Arkham Asylum) when it's available for budget price.

Ugh, if this is like that game on the xbox from the same company, just blah. I mean their games are kind of cool but you don't really do anything. You just hit buttons. It's not even cool like that old laser disc game Dragon's Lair because they show you the buttons to hit.



Indigo Prophecy, that's it. That's the other game I played from them. I mean it's okay but not really a game.

Yeah, because a game must consist of combat. It certainly can't thrive on story alone. BOOOOORING. I find it funny how you say it's just pushing buttons. It's anything but. From my last month's GameInformer issue's preview of Heavy Rain:

Heavy Rain probably won't be a game for everyone. ADD-riddled gamers who only play constant action experiences like Halo multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto, or God Of War probably won't get into the slow pacing and depressing nature of Quantic Dream's new title. For thos who love the idea of interacting with a well written and intriguing murder mystery, Heavy Rain looks to be in a league of its own in terms of presentation and atmosphere.-Dan Ryckert.

Oh, IGN isn't the only one to give a score of 9 to Heavy Rain. My most recent issue I just read yesterday of GameInformer gave it a 9.5.

Dude, calm down.  You act like you worked on the game or something.  If you like it buy it, okay.  It's just another game that will be forgotten. Shrug.  I still think it's equivalent to a fancy smancy simon says.  I mean a three year old could play through it by just hitting the forward button and doing the qte's. 

Besides Ign and Gameinformer are garabage.  They are owned by the same company I think, but anyway I lost all respect for their site when they scored Prince of Persia, the new one, a 9 or so.  Do you realize you don't really do anything in that game either?  It's all qte's and a non death system.  They must like games where you don't really have to do anything and that play themselves...  Not to mention IGN is the same site who hired a man that tried to say a Metroid game was equivalent to citizen kain.  No wonder the non gaming community thinks we're all retarded...

*Oh and another thing.  If your trying to slight people who don't like the game by clumping us all into a category of add riddled morons congradulations, you sir are something special.  You have enough competancy to hold a job and earn money.  You have the means to go to the store unless your one of those shutins that orders everything online.  You have enough mental facilities to make a sane decision to purchase a game, unless you are just buying it because of a review score.  And finally, you can play a game that a two year old can plow through in a day.  Wonderful.  I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you have the competancy to hold a job and not be one of these degenerates who is on welfare or disability.  Or, or my personal favorite, idiot college kids who think they know everything...  /end rant.

Are you saying they hired him TO say MP was like Citizen Kane or did an employee of IGN just have a stupid opinion? So what makes a game review/er credible? Mass Effect to has almost universal acclaim with an average rating of 95 with both IGN and GameInformer among with pretty much everybody else. Except for here of course where fans of the original who were fine with the combat feels betrayed by Bioware for one reason or another. It's pretty consistent that the ones who played first and foremost for story and characters are disappointed with ME2 and the ones who were griping about how the 'SPLOSHUNS weren't enough and should be "better" worship the damn thing.

Actually, you know what. I am going to buy heavy rain. I'm going to toys r us and spending 20 bucks on a simon says machine. You know the kind with the four different color lights? Then I'm buying a kaliedascope and strapping it to my eyeballs. I'll sit in a room and use the simon says machine as I spin the wonderful kaleidascope that is strapped to my face.

The point is it focuses on story above all else and that's awesome.

If the story is good then yes, but if that's the case why not just read a book?  I mean with a book you can imagine what the characters look like and how their voice sounds.  You can use the guidelines of the author to paint your own picture without someone painting seagulls in your painting.  Different strokes for different folks, which is fine. 
You must excuse me for being a bit negative about the game considering the companies Indigo Phrophecy.  I mean the game was mildly amusing to keep your character from killing itself but aside from that the story fell apart half way through the game.  Now if you'll excuse me I have to go now because your predictable assumptions about gamers and peoples likes and dislikes have made me nausious (spelling) so I have to go to a dark corner of a seedy bar and drown my sorrows with a bottle of bubble gum vodka and pass out in a pile of my own feces and possibly urin as well.  Cheers.

You might want to talk to Nozy. Or watch from 3:06-3:43.

As I posted somewhere else in regards to the only part of the review I didn't like


As for the American Accent part of the review let me just say, working in a couple different states and working in Call Centers that service all 50 states. Some states and local areas in states have a foreign sounding accent.

In fact in some parts of New England you have people for example from Massachusetts who have the second hardest sounding dialect to understand in English behind the Welesh. In fact, they have such a weird dialect they often name towns and cities after their horrible way of saying things.

For example Wooster in Massachusetts is spelled Worcester and so if you’re calling for example a Motor Club or any call center saying you’re from Worcester they won’t find it on the map unless you spell it or if they are based out of Massachusetts. Which I can tell you, there are no real Call Centers serving America out of that state since they sound so foreign. People from India have a better dialect then anyone from Massachusetts, it’s that bad.

Same with my home city of Chicago. I have an accent when I go to different parts of the country you feel like a New Yorker, to them you sound weird and strange. Over the years I have lived in many states and the people I am around also helped influence my dialect.

The concept of an American Accent is a false one. We have so many dialects, when a person says he doesn’t sound like an American there is a good chance that just shows your ignorance and you need to leave you Suburb, City and State and go live or talk to people in other states, cities, suburbs, rural areas. Because you might be talking to someone, they have a clear English Dialect to you, but go figure they have lived in Singapore their whole life and are just on the vacation.

If you’re from Massachusetts, offended then I recommend you not leave your state or suburb or join the Military speaking from personal experiences on every level even the Military, we cannot understand you as a nation lol And stop spelling Wooster as Worcester. It’s bad enough if I work with place that actually does business in your state since it’s so left and so anti business that not even debt collectors want to call your state that you guys spell what you say. Oh if you want to comment on my grammar my grammar is easier to understand then someone from Massachusetts. The Welsh in England have the worst Dialect though but they are nice people though

I'll be picking this one up. I've played the demo, and while the controls aren't great, this definitely appears to be a daring and mature experience, and I appreciate that, even if it is a little rough around the edges. I don't think this style will or should be indicative of a new wave of games, but it is something fresh.

Do you mean the control scheme or a video game centered mostly or completely around plot?

The latter, well somewhat, it isn't so much that it is centered around plot, but that your choices have a significant effect on your experience and that the game seems to have a much darker and more dramatic tone than many others.

The control scheme I could have done without. Not really sure why you need to hold down a button to walk.

If they simply called it an interactive movie (or a digital choose your own adventure), I'd have no problem at all, but when it's impossible to lose and all the gameplay consists of QTEs, I think it lacks some of the basic elements that make up a game (like coherent rules and the possibility of failure.)

I think the QTE criticism is entirely a fair one, and does raise some serious issues about its status as a "game." The decision to make "game over" screens part of the narrative, though - that seems not only game-like but progressive to me. After all, ME2 does the same thing, just not with as much dedication or depth (in that particular aspect). The idea that no decision is a wrong decision seems like a (potential) role-playing aid to me, not a detriment to a work's status as a game. One of the reasons I'm excited about Heavy Rain is because of its potential to push RPG developers - and that strikes me as a particularly notable example of that potential.

I can't wait to play this game. I've been following its development for a long, long time. Whether I judge it a success or failure, I'm confident that it will be a valuable opportunity for reflection on the nature of games and what I enjoy about them.

[Mr.Skar]

I am somewhat interested. I played Indigo Prophecy, so clearly the QTE + interesting story doesn't really bother me, but I dunno. I am hesitant to buy a game based solely on how awesome the story is.

[NvVanity]

I've already finished my first playthrough of the game. It's definitely enticing the beginning was slow but as I started getting farther into it, it got really intense. Some say the game is like an interactive movie I can agree with that but I say it's more like an awesome "Choose Your Own Adventure" game.



Gameplay wise it isn't always just pressing buttons. When playing as the FBI agent there's some investigation mini-games that require looking around not just "Click X to solve case". Same goes for the other characters as well.
