Who disliked Heavy Rain?

Of course I'm only talking to those who actually played it. And yes I said "played", because it's not only an "interactive movie".

I don't know why you would say that Heavy Rain isn't appreciated here atma. You're just provoking people at this point. Especially since Heavy Rain's user score is 9.0/10 here on VGC.


1. You really think the game doesn't have detractors?

2. Even if it is, the story is still bad, and being integrated into the game does detract from the game when you know how bad it is. And I've seen even before this game that too many gamers and developers don't really know about proper storytelling. Any casual mystery story fan can see this is loaded with holes and bad writing.

3. User scores are not the entire opinion of this site. That does mean some appreciate it, but not everyone.

What are detractors? :/

And I don't know why you'd think Heavy Rain has a bad story. Especially compared to all other games.

Why do you think I (and so many others) like Heavy Rain? For the gameplay?


1. If you mean the defintion, then there are plenty of dictionary sites, if you don't have a pysical one handy.

2. I've stated at least some reasons why, and I alsy stated that most games have bad stories. This game's story is not good.

EDIT: But no, it's not totally bad. It's still better than the dumb and inane stories of the FMV adventure games that this is based on (and someone at Sony actually said this was unique; what a liar).

3. If you like it for the story, then whatever. But that still doesn't make it good. I might even question how familiar you are with mystery stories, whether it's a TV cop/detective show or the classic mystery novels. Even the most trite and manipulative Law and Order SVU episode is better than this.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
