Heavy Rain has to prove it stops people from thinking that games are for kids. You can't just declare it does when it's been out for a year and the stigma is still there.

And this applies to other games as well, just this game gets the most declaration of it, when the declariation is clearly not founded.

I don't know if that's directed towards me or not.  If so, I'm just saying that Heavy Rain was a mature title.  I didn't say it broke down walls, changed the face of the world, or became a worldwide sensation.  It's just a game that i think everyone should play, espescially those that haven't tried anything like it--that's why most of the games I picked serve as introductions to new gamers.

If that wasn't directed towards me, pretend I said "Boobs" or something.

I read it and assumed you meant that, but since you didn't mean that, the the statement is no longer directed at you. I have no beef with people who simply like the game.

But those who do act like it's some big breakthrough in gaming are  a big annoyance I have about the game. It's just a visual novel, a genre that has been around for years. Heck, even mature themes can be seen in games from as far back as the mid 80s (just on PC more often than NES), or in RPGs like the "Soulblazer" trilogy.

Yeah.  I played games like Shadowgate (Nes) and The Univited (Amiga) back in the day and I bought Indigo Prophecy  and Shadow of Destiny for the PS2, too.  Oh well, carry on.

Oh, Shadowgate... it's not quite essential for me, but still awesome.
