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!


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.

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.

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.


I edited the post you responded to. Sony is bigger in Europe....they need to be bigger in America. Thats where the bulk of the sales will come from.

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

Uncharted 3 sounds like a safe purchase. Though why bu KZ3 if you didn't like KZ2?

Next games should be Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles, and maybe InFamous 1+2.

Play the demo of InFamous first though. I think it's just decent but most PS fans love it so you should check first. Also, Ratchet & Clank!

You can get the entire MGS series too if that seems interesting to you. MGS1 (PSN) MGS collection, and then MGS4.

Also, get the Ico & SoTC collection. SoTC is a really magnificent game. The controls are dated but the experience is incredible. I think you'll like that one very much.

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!

SPOILERS DERP.

1. Yeah I did, although it was a tough decision, but he was a drug dealing asshole that was prepared to murder you less than a minute ago, felt bad for his daughters though.

2. I got scratched like a bitch, and burned myself on a wire, but other than that managed to crawl through that trial.

3. Yeah I used the saw as well, first thing I saw haha. It was brutal, my character failed to get it in one chop either, so had to proper grind it after whinging on the floor!

4. I did, and I thought exactly the same thing, it was a test to see whether I would actually sacrifice myself for shaun! kinda saw enough cliché movies to see that one coming though!

5. It was pretty intense haha, about 7, the police etc and I was going ooooooohhhh shiiiiit.

6. I actually spoiled it for myself by reading the biography of Jayden(I wanted to know what the fuck he was addicted to) and glimpsed Scott's name in there. Fucking raged a bit, but I was past the bit with the Ann Shephard - where Madison goes to talk to her so it could have been worse.

The ending I got;

Ethan finds shaun, goes to help him, scott comes out and congratulates him, then when ethan bends out to open the cage scott takes out a pistol and is about to shoot him. Jayden rugby tackles Scott and scott runs off onto the roof, jayden chases after him. Ethan proceeds to try to open the cage, police surround the warehouse and are preparing to shoot ethan. Madison arrives on the bike, and tries to convince blake not to kill ethan, fails, so grabs a bike and has to do some swerving to get inside and warn ethan. Scott and Jayden fight it out on the conveyer belt heading towards the grinder, whilst ethan is trying to revive shaun. Scott almost falls in, I used jayden to help him up, he goes rabid again and attacks Jayden, they have a small fight, then scott falls into the grinder and jayden almost does too but his pipe luckily holds him and he grabs the ledge(I WAS SHOUTING AT THAT BIT). Madison, ethan and shaun walk out of the warehouse. Happily ever after.

Ethan shaun and madison buy a studio appartment and live together. Jayden appears on a TV show as a hero, then shows him throwing away his vial into the toilet, as well as sitting in the office using ARI, then he takes ARI off and fucking toy tanks come rolling out of nowhere(he be trippin' balls yo).

Lauren stands over Scott's grave and scorns him as well as spits on it and walks away.

I think that's about it.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

I didn't not like KZ2, just need to get into it I think, but it seems a bit.. Dated. Agreed on the SoTC, that game looks epic, a friend raved about it on PS2, so tempted to try it out on PS3 now. I've only played MGS1 on PS1, so I am not sure whether I'll be picking that collection up, but most likely if anything it'll just be MGS4.

I don't think i'll like infamous, saw friend playing it after he got for free after the PSN outage, it was okay but very grind-like and repetitive for my liking. I liked Prototype though, when there was a whole masive "infamous vs prototype" debate raging on the interwebz.

Demon's souls I don't know about. It's a fucking pain of a game, and without the ability to summon douchebags, I see myself rage quitting that game when shit get too tough.

Haha sweet,


The ending I got was similar to yours but one thing differd:

I was fighting Scott with Jayden, all was going well until he took up a long ass metal pole and swung it right at me. I failed ONE button and Jayden was knocked out and fell down into the grinder. Yeah... the villain > the hero XD. Funny thing with me was that I kept telling myself "Yeah man Scott is going to be the kung fu shit guy. He's going to be the one that kicks everyone ass." So when I got the whole Scotty part (damn shame you got it spoiled) I was like DAFUUUUUUUQ. I actually liked Jayden dying though. I wanted to like.. restart the PS3 xD but I just couldnt bring myself to do that because it felt quite.. dramatic and different :P.

Anyhow, everyone else ended up happy and the police say Shelby was the Origami Killer. He is then confronted by Lauren who shoots him in middle of the city and it ends. I loved it :D.

Did you save Lauren or did she die? (When you fall in the water, you could screw her and swim up alone. Ironically I suppose Shelby survives if she's dead and he beats Jayden. Good thing I saved her haha.)

Great and congrats !! Get set for tons of great upcoming exclusives namely The LAst of us and God of War Ascension.

You should really play The GoW Collection dude. They are just phenomenal games, even now.


You won´t get any better for that price. They almost as good as the original Trilogy and extremely replayable.



NotStan said:
Fuck. Heavy Rain is good. Just passed the third and fourth trial.. Off to blue lagoon(doctor scene = epic). Third trial.. euuuugh lol


I'm smiling like I had something to do with the game's development or something.  Glad to see you like it.  It was an epic game.

I saved her, first time I didnt and accidentally broke the glass, had to restart from main menu because I pushed teh wrong button lol. Jayden was my favourite character I think by far I think! I found him awesome, and it sucks that just by failing ONE sequence you get fucking pwned, that's kinda lame.

Scott was a nice fucking twist, I did not see that coming at all. But I think they did the whole thing where he kept going after the rich guy because he knew that the rich guy killed a kid and thought that he didn't have a justifiable reason like he did. Which is kinda stupid because his reason was pretty lame too, to kill like 7 kids, but yeah, nicely added twist. I loved it when you can put all the puzzles together as Jayden - like which area the first murder ocurred + Where the gas station for the receipts is + what cops live in the area because the gun they've used was from evidence.

All in all, a great game tbfh.
