Forums - Sony - Heavy Rain has unappealing gameplay

The gameplay is the puzzle solving and mystery, guided by what you would hope is a really great story. The actual QTE's and "action" are more of an afterthought of sorts.

Think of it like SotC. The actual fighting itself was quite simple and repetitive. The enjoyment game from figuring the weakpoints of each Colossus and the struggle of taking each one out.

i guess you guys do have a point...if anything, ill buy the game for the story itself, i love story oriented games and who knows, i might end up liking the gameplay :P



So wait, tell me if I've got this straight. You hate the game because you can't run around and shoot guys?

okay , since you hate these smart ass comments. i'll ask you this.

you played Indigo Prophecy?

no, i unfortunately haven't...i just looked it up and i just realized that it's made by the same dev as heavy rain

 

there you go , its one of my favorite games of all time. and i would gladly spend 60$+ on it anytime.

i don't hate it, there are many things that it seems to do right...but all you're doing is walking around and hitting buttons that pop up on the screen...but like i said, i havent experienced this type of game before, it might be really good, or it could fall flat on it's face

i agree the gameplay doesn't look fun... but im still really interested in the game and how nose maybe u get a gun for an action sequence and as for the replay value this game looks unmatched like if u kill ur character they stay dead and someone else takes hes/her place that will only do wonders for the story

this is the flaw with gamers this generation. if it doesnt have anything to do with a soldier, guns, massive explosions, and isnt an FPS it wont sell for crap because no one is interested. I almost want to say FFXIII will fail because of this but there probably are a bunch of explosions in it.

FFXIII doesnt have those? you havent seen the trailers right? xD

i think FF Agito 13 will fail cause it doesn't have it though.



The gameplay seems just right to me. I will be the last one to critisized a game that tries innovative ideas. And I think you should wait and see.
