Just a pointless thread, but I really like it when it rains in a video game. Going trough my game collection, I wondered wich game has the best "rain" effect
1. Sleeping Dogs. The rain effect in this game is near perfect. It does not happen too often and the sounds are awesome. The NPC's react by taking out their umbrellas or protecting themselves with the paper. Also, Wei's clothing reacts accordingly. 9.5/10
2. Silent Hill Downpour. In this game, I found the rain effect to be pretty good. The sound is a bit loud, but it helps with the atmosphere of the whole game. On my playthrough, it rained a lot, making the enemies more agressive. 8/10
3. Risen 2. When the rain starts to fall, it's always with thunder and lightning but the sound effects are too loud. It does nothing on the character or the ground around him. Plus, it happens way too often. I know it's in the game context, but it's still too much. 6/10
4. Heavy Rain. Good effects but they are more cinematic than anything else. 7/10
Pointless topic I know, but would like to have more opinions on games with good rain effect. Thanks.
