Forums - Sony - Heavy rain early impressions "tedious"?

 

http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=13580

"Yesterday evening we gathered the entire ONM team and some members of the CVG gang around our office Wii to see if the eight-player mode in Wheelspin worked. Five minutes later, only Chris, Roland and I were still playing. As Chris said in his review the rest had simply given up or slammed their pads down in frustration.

Wheelspin is an astoundingly bad game, and fairly quickly pretty much everyone else in our office gathered around to have a good laugh at it. We sit near the CVG and OXM teams, and it's something of an acid test if a crowd forms around a new game; only truly brilliant or truly awful games inspire an office-halting gang of onlookers.

A couple of other recent examples were heavily-hyped PS3 title Heavy Rain and Xbox 360 travesty Divinity II. While of course it's early days for Heavy Rain, both the ONM and OXM teams couldn't resist jeering as CVG wandered tediously around some bloke's flat for 20 minutes as the main character had a shave and went to the toilet. Maybe it gets better later on."

Heavy Rain is overhyped?



is journalism dead yet? Can we dance on its grave now?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

No. That's not true. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!

A Computer Game where I can take a dump....at last



Well it's official xbox magazine and official Nintendo magazine making fun of a PS3 exclusive. Nothing surprising.



everything is subjective anyway , there is no good or bad just the way people see it, get over it.
it's all in peoples heads.

Sheesh, the story has to start somewhere and the controls have to be explained sometime... the beginning wasn't that bad imho.
