My first ending got ruined due to six axis not registering correctly. Everything is going fine, I'm at the right warehouse, rescue the kid. One wrong QTE (six axis) gets Jayden killed. One wrong QTE (six axis again) makes Madison's bike crash, which gets Ethan killed and Scott Shelby's loser ass doesn't rot in jail for the rest of his life, instead he gets a quick and painless death.
I could play it again, but I don't think i'd enjoy it as much since what happened is canon and any changes to make it better are gonna feel like fan fiction. I was playing it on easy but I switched in the middle and now I really regret it. I wouldn't mind if I got the shit ending because I made bad choices, but I got them because of wonky controls.
The game is so much like a movie that I'm judging it like a movie. For me Heavy Rain was great but the ending I got was ass and ruined it. At least if it was a movie i'd only lose $8 and 2 hours. I lost $60 and 20 hours on this.
It was a cool experiment and I'm happy to have supported the idea that games can be more than shooters, but I think next time i'll wait till it's $20 or just Gamefly it.
