Heavy Rain...is COMPLETE. What a game. If only my special edition included a discount for therapy sessions, I'm certainly going to need it.


Hehe, yeah my mind is still a bit blown out from it. I ain't going to spoil it for anyone though.

Really has to be played to be believed.

Got a few ideas for future playthroughs, specially an obvious one hehe :happy:

Edit: @Nadia

Yeah it is pretty much like that but there is difficulty levels and I think the 'casual' one is for people that generally don't like that sort of game ie. plenty of time and probably less frantic mashing needed.


ahhh, good! the only way I'd play it is if I can do it on my own time. I hate time limits.

Another game that looks (simply by way of gameplay) similar to Heavy Rain is Deadly Premonition. There's this one scene where you run from a nutbag killer and hide in a room and where you hide matters. It shows both camera angles- his and yours- while you're doing the scene too, just like Indigo did and probably how Heavy does it too.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE scary games... we need more of them.  Ones that actually DO scare you and not some lame 'boo' jumping out of a closet.

I've gotten to work on Chapter 2 of my fic Andy.  Want me to PM with what I've done so far for proofread?


Sure. Send it my way.

So what kind of time we talking to complete? Seems very short to me from what I've heard (like, MW2 kinda short)...



Even if I had a ps3, be difficult for me to justify the price....

I'm not sure how long it actually took me...I'd estimate at 7-8 hours. But there is a lot of incentive to play again and try things a different way. Although I've heard the decisions don't have as big of an impact as you'd think, and having played it I think that might be true. It would be unfair of me to say for sure though until I've taken some different paths in the story to compare.

Would I lie to you? I don't think there is a timer in the game so I'm only guessing but I'm 95% sure I've played it for less than 10 hours. Ulrich played it all in one yesterday I think so he might have a more accurate time.

Edit: @ Vamp: I'd say if you aren't interested in seeing potentially different outcomes or seeing absolutely everything the game has that a rental would probably be your best bet. As good as it is, it really is an interactive movie so once you've seen it you'll be pretty satisfied I think. Great story. Probably the best ever in a video game (or interactive movie).

I wonder if Bioware is going to confirm how our Shepherd's stand with regards Cerberus before ME3? Also if the whole destroy base, 'lose this channel' and Miri/Jacob quitting will be addressed before/during it.

I think it really needs addressing pre-ME3, unless ME3 is going to take place real close after ME2.


Well, I think it's quite significant you can't DESTROY Cerberus/TiM at the end of ME2 (like you can with the Council in ME1). This suggests to me that they want them to play a role in ME3 or major DLC. (Like, an expansion-sized DLC.)

I used to think that this sort of dangling plot thread would be handled via DLC before ME3, but I've decided that it's more likely to be handled in ME3. Bringing back Martin Sheen for VA (and Yvonne, hopefully, too) will requre a full-game sized budget IMO.

Com, Nadia. Have you both pulled all-nighters today or did you both get up ridiculously early?

EDIT:  When the devs bother to poke their heads back in I guess.  They don't seem to be around much since release.

Well, I was very sick on Friday so I sorta slept all day then. So I ended up staying up all night tonight.

What's wrong with a few pages of OT shameless flirtation and innuendo? Hehe :P

Well, no I guess you didn't.  The only thing wrong is that my partner in flirtation has gone to bed....without me! :lol:

Is it bad that I usually try to use different groups on different playthroughs, but I can't resist bringing Miranda? Will all my playthroughs be Shepard, Miranda, +1 other?



(Always going to bring her on Zaeed's mission from now on, though. As sexy as Mordin looked by the waterfall before I knew about it...)

Yes, most likely.  My playthroughs tend to be with Miranda and Garrus without fail.  The only time that changes is for loyalty missions and on the Collectors' station because I assign Miranda as Team 2 Leader.

Miranda is always by my side. I can't even consider a mission without her.

hehe wasnt suggesting you were fibbing Andy lol....was just shocked...



Interesting how a story and visuals can change a games 'status'. Going back to MW2....it was slated to high hell; for being so short (around 12 hours iirc) but to be fair to it, it has the MP aspect for longevity, but goven its price tag (espeically on the consoles) 12 hours etertainment is pants for £40+...



So was very suprised to hear your estimate....(and I'm not bashing, I do fancy playing it, and just found out next doors grandson got it today so might have to invade his house for a play through lmao)...was just shocked that this has less longevity, less time to play yet has received shining endorsements....I really hope this is not the way games are going to go, im all for flash and visuals and storyline, but not at the expense of 'actual entertainment' if you follow what I mean :)
