UGH! This game now tops Deadly Premonition! Maybe I am wrong. Anyone know if Deadly Premonition has something classic like that?

Hmm... maybe people need to stop holding videogames up to the standard of movies, and expect a system exclusive to suddenly be like a AAA movie, that the world will start to bow down and worship.

It's obvious that haven't played it.

OT: Although you claimed to like the game twesterm, why is this like your 2nd or 3rd thread putting it down in some way?

I'm not really putting it down though.  It's an awkward part of the game and someone made a game based on that awkward part.  That's it.  There's really nothing wrong with having some fun like that.  It's like laughing at how simple Mario is or Dom yelling MAAARRIIIIIIIIIAA.

For the record, I liked the game and had fun with it despite the Quick Time Events that I normally despise.  Hell, this game even made me give God of War another go.  Since I survived one QTE game I figured I could try another.

It's sad that this thread has become a witch hunt for supposed fan boys rather than just having fun.  Whatever, I'm through.  I was in a pretty good mood this morning but if people want to be thick and look for the troll in everything have fun.

Why get so defensive if your intentions were to just have fun? Relax, I just asked you a simple question.

It's just an annoying thing that's happening here more and more often.  Every thing has to be about the console wars and if you imply a negative about anything even somewhat related to something Sony people start getting pissy.  It's like it has become some sort of mortal sin to look at the negative of any game.

If I'm not exclusively praising Heavy Rain I must be a rabid fanboy.

I thought the thread was funny =[. Fanboys are raging and calling him a fanboy, maybe?

this reminds me of how x vgcuser is known to hate y game, and then x user posts z "rabid flamebait article" and says, "I think this guy goes a little far, but he has valid points".

Not that you're doing it, but it's a peeve of mine that I've been noticing lately for others. That game and video was pretty aggressive too. I know I didn't run around calling "Jason" over and over, I did it three or four times. It's pretty lucid what the intentions are when something is blown so out of proportion.

I detected funniness in that video.

clearly most of you are kids and all you did was spam x when playing heavy rain , wouldnt expect many of you to put yourself in the moment, whatever amazing game , i dont think the intention of the developers was to make their audience laugh when a boy gets hit by a car.

just goes to show the large gap of attention between action games , humorous games and serious games

It also shows how much of a gap we have between movie making level competence in storytelling and how far games fall short of that.

Do I actually need to play every game out there, or this, to comment on it?  I just found some humor in how Heavy Rain is elevated to be some sort of uber-serious bestest storytelling eva type experience, and then something like this happens, and fans go all furious over anyone daring to laugh at what happened here.  Dark Rain has been hyped up here for MONTHS by some individuals like it is all that, ande some sort of penultimate need to watch, get, play, and go gaga over.  My reply was, maybe people need to lighten up a little and not be so demanding a game do all this. 

I think people may need a bit more F K... in their coffee.

I have to say, the scene would be better if the voice actor would use emotions while screaming (at least in the german dub), but as it is now it just sounds... bad, I am lucky that the rest of the game was awesome.

Maybe they could of gone with a Wilhelm scream!

Wow

That's what I call over-complaining. It's close to immaturity actually.

That video is funny though.

We aren't that short of that. Games like Uncharted, Metal Gear, HEAVY RAIN, Heavenly Sword, Mass Effect and some others state otherwise. It's just a matter of time before games tell stories the way they are told in the movies (even though I think some games are already there, but I guess that's just me).

As for HEAVY RAIN, you can't judge it unless you've played it. Trust me.

I have a pile of other games to get to, and the play mechanics of Dark Rain just don't interest me.  I don't play games for great storytelling, because I would look to be disappointed.  There ARE exceptions on the whole.  Uncharted and Mass Effect are two.  But I don't hold them to the same standards I do a movie.  Like, if Modern Warfare 2 were a movie, I would of ripped it far more ruthlessly than I had.  It felt good, but the story was an utter mess.

A problem I have with people trying to have games as movie experience, is that the production costs are going to shoot WAY through the roof, if you want movie level competence.  If they don't do this, you will get more scenes like the one being discussed here.
