that makes it even worse....... you pretty much killed the purpose of the game. the game is about how it makes you feel ultimately. honestly i still remember how i felt during that game. the game wasnt perfect, it wasnt the best game. but still, i did its job. but you pretty much killed that, with stopping, searching for the video that makes the choice you want, with not really being in control. you just killed the game for youself. you cut the stream of action which would trigger your emotions. damn man, please really "play" beyond!


No, you're wrong. I was supossed to play the fate of four characters; characters that had their own way of thinking. The crucial part of Heavy Rain is to ultimately decide wether these people act "right" or "wrong"; yet you can't really change some outcomes. But that is how this game makes you feel things. I did not feel connected, for example, to Madison, as I thought she was merely a bitch who wanted to make money out of the situation.

I did felt like shit when you discover the Origami Killer. Seriously. I remember watching the damned youtube video and I was completely in shock. Mind you, I've chosen how that character acted yet He was ultimately an hipocrite and betrayed me, the player. Ethan, during my "playthrough", was a merely coward who could not bring himself to save Shaun, and ended up in jail. Yet there was Norman Jayden, the character I admired most, and during my playthrough, he was the only one to do everything right, and finally, saving Shaun. So I did play it like I wanted, and I feel whatever I was supossed to feel playing like this.

 

It's a matter of opinion. Though I agree that it would have been better if I actually had "played" (having the control in my hands) the game.


having that feeling of betrayel is something pretty much every one had, and i think it was done on purpose, and FYI i had a really different outcome then you did, Ethan with me, wasnt really a coward, he went through a lot of shit to save him, but ultimatly couldnt, Jayden saved shaun for me, but died while doing so. 

anyways  as you said its a matter of opinion. i just hope some of the plot holes (i had a huge one happen to me that i yet dont understand) dont happen in beyond.
