What I really want to know is, does he ever get any work done?
The game may be good overall, but those opening 9 minutes are inexcusable. Tutorial-schmutorial. Why does the tutorial have to be so boring? Why does it have to exist at all? Let me die for my mistakes, believe me I will learn from them.
I watched the later videos and the game certainly heats up, but if the first paragraph of a novel is the most important part, then the opening of the video game is also the most important part. I wouldn't blame anyone for taking this back to the store after 9 minutes of that.
More power to the people that want to play Heavy Rain but this intro is the sloppiest I've seen in years.
