The thing is...I don't care if you like or dislike the game. If your sig is advertising your PSN card and if you look the info up and it says you have never played the game that you seem to be trolling, it sometimes is very indicative of whether or not you have played the game. Demo's don't count because they are just...demos. I hear people bitch all the time about demos and then actually love the games.

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in those trophy sig cards since they don't automatically update.  I've had 142 trophies for months and mine still hasn't updated even though I've connected to the PSN many times.

I'm sorry this is a dumb question and I'm sure you have, but just from your wording I'm obliged to ask, "have you synced your profile on the PS3 lately?"...

metacritic is a horribly flawed way to judge how good a game is, considering 90 percent of the review sites aren't even credible sources. your best bet would be to find one review site that you actually trust and go by that score.



i will always stay cold

Yes I have, a week ago I guess?  It was whenever the Heavy Rain demo became available to all without having to do some ARG.

Nothing in his review really seems wrong.

It just seems like he's missing the general context... it's a lot like those "Just Dance" reviews people were just complaining about.

I don't agree with the review. Actually I STRONGLY disagree with it. But hey, not everyone can like the game.

Have played around 6 hours since yesterday, for any mature and rational person, this game is really good. Maybe thats why you get the elite feeling, a teenager or immature person will obviously not like this game. Its slow, its intelligent, its make you think, its definitly not like our usual blockbuster game.

Would you say that it's mature to say things like the bolded? I've played slow and intelligent games that made me think in the past and I've liked some and disliked some. The fact that the game has those traits doesn't mean that

(a) A person who dislikes it is immature, irrational or both

(b) The game is automatically good

    You realize you just quoted his entire post except for "The fact you dont like the game doesnt mean your immature tho, because you may not like the gameplay, story or anything else." 

 

    Let's not attack and take people to task for things they didn't say, whether or not we agree with how they feel about Heavy Rain (which seems to be one of the things most people can agree on in this thread... at least when it comes to low reviews.)

He added that in well after I quoted him.

Let's not jump to conclusions and accuse people of things that they never did.

 

lol, is it really so offensive that I didn't know the specific way some guy edited his post as a way of responding or clarifying to you what he was saying?

I apologize!  It looked like a hilariously bad out-of-context quote, my bad if it was actually an ongoing conversation through edits.  It doesn't help that you never responded to him with an"oh, that wasn't what you were saying?  My bad" or something like that, once he edited his post.  That helps make it clear you aren't still annoyed.

 

    I do think people are using the thread as an excuse to attack eachother while at the same time insisting that you should let everyone (i.e. reviewers) have their own opinion and not argue with them about it.  Which always gives these threads a special kind of comedy.

 

Well, you did accuse me of editing a person's post just so I can win an argument over the internet. I don't know if you can blame me for being a bit offended.

Either way, I'm not going to go back six pages of a thread to see if a guy edited a post that I quoted hours before, and even if I did, I have no reason to apologize since I still have a problem with the edited version of his post. While he's not saying that people who dislike the game are immature anymore, he's still arguing that a person has to be mature and rational to enjoy the game.

Interesting, I looked at my trophies last night and apparently my tag is right so silly me!  I have no idea where I got the 142 trophy number from but I could have swore I had that many.

Did anybody post about the inflated scores this game got and complain about them by any chance? Given the game is sub 90 on meta I guess all those 100's are just fanboy reviewers too trying to bring the score up for site views too.

The hypocrsy of some fans is really sad. Its one review, EVERY big exclusive gets spoilers, deal with it. Its another reason why metacritic is flawed.

BTW epic fail by those people in here quoting Metacritic figures as some method to prove how good a game is. Perhaps when you do that, you don't do it in a thread created to cast doubt on the validity of those figures.

In the war for system supremacy, truth is the first casualty... that, followed by being objective.

Users may feel the way I do about it. Heavy rain is visually stunning but the game play is pretty bland and dare I say boring. I will finish the game (hell I paid $60 for it) and post all my thoughts when I'm done.



Now Playing: Crysis 2

Last Finished: BulletStorm

Online IDs: PSN: computermaximus, XBL: computermaximus

Yes hes right, I added that after because it was obviously needed. The wording wasnt right at first and could be taken in the wrong way.
