I still wish more games would do that water busting trick that they've got going on here.  Hell not even Metal Gear Solid 4 does this.



Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but for those who have Sleeping Dogs, how does it compare to GTAIV? I really like the setting and stuff. And those screenshots look badass. I'm kind of thinking of getting it if it goes on sale on steam in the near future.

When your sailing around in The Wind Waker and the storm rolls in. Its amazing, I used to sail around just waiting for 'em!



Don't be sorry ZERO 129, I respect your love for the game Sleeping Dogs because I share it.

Back on topic, I agree that Red Dead Redemption had some pretty cool raining effects. I must finish this fine game someday.



Proud owner and supporter of the YAKUZA games!


Donkey Kong Country and Metroid Prime did have an amazing use of rain. DK especially. Combined with the music of the stage it instilled a sense of urgency and danger the likes of which few games if any has managed to do since.



Games are fun.

Imo its a much better game then GTA 4. Better story, better characters, better theme, best combat in a GTA Open World style game ever (Think of the combat as a mix of Yakuza mixed with Batman Arkham City)'

Driving and shooting at the same time in this game is fun! (Thats something i never thought id say about a GTA style game lulz xD),

Its just a much better game in everyway, and the graphics imo are some of the best if not the best i've seen in an open world GTA style game without mods .

Get it you wont be sorry! . Also the is a Demo on Steam if you want to try it .

Well I'm convinced! Although I've actually heard that combat in the game was not impressive... What you described sounds awesome. Too bad I can't afford a full-price game right now... :(
I'll get it as soon as it gets a sale. Downloading the demo right now. Thanks!!! XD



           

Pretty good list. One game that I actually played a decent amount and thought it has pretty good rain effects is PGR4.
