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

Go into the other thread about the said "phenomenon" and discuss it there.  I only started that thread because CGI complained I was derailing this one.  So I asked "what kind of phenomenon" of Heavy Rain in there, because I don't see one at all.  Apparently my getting flak that I started a thread asking what kind of phenomenon the game is, is an indication that people don't think it is either (someone said, "Why not say the same about other games, and then start a thread on them?").  As far as being recognized in "pop culture", outside of those who are into videogames on the web, even know what the heck Heavy Rain is?  And there are fan made videos out there to for things.  People here know about Heavy Rain, as they do about 3D Dot Heroes, and other games to.
