I'm keeping my pre-order. Mixed reviews just mean the game is not understood by everyone. I only cancel when a game is universally agreed upon to be bad.

Are you serious? How can people not understand limited gameplay and QTE? Really, just because a review has a low score for this game doesn't mean an idiot reviewed it. The game *is* controversal and if QD makes more of these games they will always be. You like it? Fine. But it has nothing to do with "understanding".

I know you might think i'm defending the game or something like that. But the truth is i am a big cinema lover and follower. I know that a lot of movies and games that we consider classics right now, were received quite poorly when they first came out.

I have played the demo and it was exactly like Heavy Rain, which like this game, some thought was not a game. 2 years after Heavy Rain you hear the same complaints arise.

No one liked Stanley Kubrick's 2001 Space Oddysey and they described it as a snoozfest. Look now, it's the movie that has built the bases for much of the last 50 years of Sci-Fi.

I don't say it's not an amazing experience but still your "understand"-argument is off, I think. The complaints are there and it is totally ok that there are complaints. It is hardly a game which usually relies on gameplay. I think the "fun" is hard to measure with such an experience. If you want a game with great gameplay, choose another game. If you understand a game as an experience and can live with limited gameplay, give it a try.
