I don't usually call games "wasted potential" but...

    This **** is some WASTED potential.
    I know that they were trying to go for the whole interactive anime kind of thing here but because of how linear the whole thing is(unlike Heavy Rain which was still pretty bad) it really just feels like "press x to win"
    Like, EVERYTHING about this game is awesome. EXCEPT the gameplay.

    It's more like a 22 episode anime.

    I wish I was friends with Asura's mentor guy whatever he was. Shagging a girl and then fighting her, now that's a good life.

    You can't argue with it though. Heavy Rain is EXACTLY like watching a movie. It is completely linear and there are absolutely no choices. You just go from A to B, watching cutscenes where your actions do not matter at all. Exactly like a movie.

    All the main characters in the story can die if you don't make the right decisions or actions. Or a number of things can change for them.

    You've got an ending to the killer walking free, or the killer living as a fugitive, or being killed off. You've got endings where on the characters can overdose, experience hallucinogenic soldier tanks, one where a character gets into a relationship with a bother character, one where he commits suicide, one where the boy dies, one where he survives. One where you can become a murderer, one where all characters find the truth, one where their investigation leads them to the killer, one where you accuse someone falsely, one where you can get caught by a serial killer, one where you can break free from them, and kill them in return.

    All obviously linear like a movie is.

    Welp, this has made me wonder how over the top I have to go for people to understand that I'm kidding. Especially since the last post had already reached ze moon.

    When in doubt, if you want someone to get that you are not being serious, explicitly state that you are not being serious. Especially when it comes to you, people will believe that you mean just about anything you say because you speak it as if you believe it. It does not matter how over the top you are, because somewhere out there there is someone who would say what you are saying and mean it, and you sound exactly like that person, down to the letter.

    It comes across as if you are truly an idiot, and then later when you claim to be trolling, you do it in a derogatory manner like this. Perhaps you should instead admit that you are failing to communicate well?

    Now you're just being hateful, Akaz. :c Anyone who has played Heavy Rain would realise I was joking, especially when I said that the game has only one ending, anyone who has played it knows it has multiple endings. No reason to be mad just because I know basic game knowledge, unlike you. Besides, anyone who has to state that they are joking is a tosser.
