I still don't see how any of that matters. All you've done is come in to bash the game, and claim that it hasn't done anything for the industry. While doing so, you can't even keep up with the name of the game: HEAVY Rain, not "Dark" Rain. If it was just a "Press X to Jason", why have several devs said they are now inspired by such a project? It's not only a critical success, but a commercial one as well (something almost NOBODY saw coming).

You've taken the topic in a direction it didn't need to go. It's as if you're jealous of it or something. The game isn't a phenomenon to you, so be it, you're entitled to that. But don't come in and derail the topic with unnecessary bullcrap.

I called it "Heavy Rain" in my original post, but apparently the RTS title from years ago, "Dark Reign" keeps coming in my mind.  As far as my post, which went to this line: "Be it positive or negative reactions like the infamous "press X to Jason" bit, i think just the fact that someone thought it was worthwhile to make something like this tells a lot about the phenomenon Heavy Rain has become.", I could either comment here or start another thread.  I felt it better to do it here, but if it is better in another thread, I will do that.

 

yes, i said that, because i think it has become a phenomenon. I did not say huge or overwhelming, but it is something that is recognized in pop culture, something, like in the video, people go lengths to make a homage on or ridicule it, or just argue about whether it deserved its praise or sales.

welcome to taking part in that
