Heavy Rain is good, although I don't think my second playthrough will be anywhere near as INTENSE as this one. Although I think I did pretty well for the first playthrough, really close to the end scene now too.


Get R&C: ACiT! I don't care if it doesn't look like it's for you. BUY IT! It's probably cheap now. The Shooting is really fun!

You neeb. I will get it later, but chances are will probably borrow it from a friend as he's a massive R&C fan, although I do have £16 CEX credit that I can throw around and get something else. Exclusives I got so far;

MAG, LBP, UC2, KZ2, R2, GOW3, HR.

I think I'll most likely get UC3 next, then KZ3 after I finish the second one.. eventually.

Also, fucking updates on PS3 need to GTFO seriously. 1.2GB patch for HR(Move support I am guessing). But single player game.. seriously.. The fucking semi GB updates are really starting to piss me off, whenever I pick up a 360 game, there is max 30-50mb of updates which take no longer than 2 minutes at most, with the exception of BF3 - which seems to troll me epically.

Jesus? Best ending possible I think, first go, no guides haha. Awesome gameeeee, absolute system seller right there, even though it's sales are not that massive, highly recommended!


The sales for a game of that type are fantastic. It is really not a game everybody I for my part never played it trough just tried the demo and thought it was boring, but it was the favorite game of my Ex-Girlfriend. And the other thing there is nothing like Heavy Rain out there.

You see that's the thing, I like FPS, some TPS, RTS and WRPG's, not exactly the sort of demographic they had in mind when they designed this game I don't think, totally random game for me, but I do enjoy story driven WRPG's so maybe it can be related to that too, but a great game nonetheless. Shame there is not much replayability after the first go though.

If you like shooters then you definetly should get Vanquish. It´sa bit short but you can get it for less then 10 bucks on Amazon and it´s a lot fun with fantastic gameplay.

Had it on 360. Hated it unfortunately, couldn't even get past the second stage, just got bored.

A lot of Sonys games have the potential to be system sellers but because of their marketing strategies it always ends up just being a beloved franchise that most never knew about. I don't care as long as I get to experience it.

Get Killzone 2 and 3. Resistance is fun as well.

I believe it was advertised more than enough here in UK and most likely mainland Europe(Probably the same could be said for US) when the game came out there were MANY adverts for it, as well as "exclusive bundle" which was just pretty much slim with a HR for similar price to the RRP of just a console, I know, because I watched TV all the time and it came on more than enough.

It's just, no matter how people want to admit it or not, the PS3 userbase is not that much diverse from 360, they want shooters, racers, RPG's all the same, and gems like these get overlooked, regardless if it's your beloved console or anything else.

Although I agree.. It was nice to experience it since I was skeptical about trying it in the first place as I was more tempted by UC and KZ more than anything, and HR seemed boring from the distance, good thing I took a plunge and got it.

I mean real marketing. When Microsoft markets they put what they've got in your face. They dont just make commercials like Sony. Microsoft goes on Jay Leno for Gears and Halo and Kinect, the news, department stores everywhere. Sony has never done that. This is why North America is carrying the 360 on its back. Even though Sony sells impressively, they could have stellar sales if their marketing was up to par with Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't have as much, but what they do have they put in your face so you cant look away from it.

No ones denying the PS3 and 360 userbase aren't similar. Half of Microsofts userbase is Sony's PS2 userbase who saw Microsoft as a cheaper alternative. Now that Microsoft has taken so many third party titles from Sony to make themselves seem indistinguishable Sony has gotten stronger on a first party front. They've always been strong, but now they are stronger than ever. Sony and Nintendo will walk into next gen with launch titles for sure. Microsoft....well...lol.

If you liked the first Crackdown definitely get inFAMOUS. It's just as fun, with a better storyline (Crackdown didn't have much of one) and better combat.

Trust me, it really is. The advertising is just as bad in both cases, I saw a fucking heavy rain advert on a childrens channel that my brother was watching. The common "Sony advertising sucks" is just a myth, it's just as common and just as strong as MS, the only one which does generally stand out even more is Nintendo during the holiday season other than that, everyone advertises practically equally throughout the year.

Uncharted posters and most of the "bigger" exclusive on busses/stops/shops/signs/television. Everywhere.

Haha glad you liked it dude: few questions for you (SPOILERS OF HEAVY RAIN BELOW):

 

 

About Ethans "trials"/tests:
1. Did you shoot the guy? (I did and it was intense like hell)
2. Did you make it through the glass unscathed? (I personally got stuck there XD)
3. Did you cut off your finger, if so what item did you use? (I actually used a Saw.. xD)
4. Did you or did you not drink the pill that was going to kill you in a few hours? (I did it because I had this crazy theory about the Origami killer testing me to see if I was just that: A good father. Longshot but damn did it feel good to know I was right xD.)
5. Did you drive against the highway on the opposite direction and how intense did it feel scale 1-10 , 10 being intense as hell.
6. And last: Did you get goosbumps and go batshit crazy when Scotts younger brother was drowning and said: "Scotty... help" -> Revealing the identity of the Origami killer.

 

CHEERS xD Love the game myself!
