Heavy Rain

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 16, 2012, 8:19 AM


With all the contempt I've had lately for a certain video game series, I once again think it'd be better vented by focusing on positive things like I previously have done before. So instead of giving all these shitty games and shitty games-to-be all the attention, I'll share some positive gaming experiences I've had.

I'll probably make a random journal about a game once in a while, so call this the first edition entry. They'll range from super nostalgic to recent times, just depends on what I've played and when I think to write up a suggestion. Hopefully this'll introduce some of you to a game you might like and otherwise may not have tried, or bring up some good memories. These will remain spoiler free as well.

Heavy Rain

I only just played this game recently, but I say it was nothing short of amazing. It's still a fairly new game so if most of you played it already and I'm behind the times then yo, whoops.

For starters though, this is anything but a run-around, gun-toting, shoot-'em-up, Michael Bay-fest. The best way I can describe this game is that it plays like an interactive movie, graphic novel or what have you. Its main drive is the story and the characters in it. That's something I thought most, if not all games had up and forgotten about completely in this day and age. That's not to say a good shoot-'em-up isn't fun once and a while, but given the sheer amount of games that do this these days, makes Heavy Rain something special and unforgettable. And it of course, was still fun to interact and play along.

Ironically enough, many of the scenes are performed via "quick time events", one of the many things that made me hate games like Resident Evil 4. In this game though, it just works. Probably since that's the main, and pretty much only playing scheme throughout it. Quick time events don't pop up and unfairly surprise you- It's the core of the game play and you become used to it in a reasonable fashion. Something about being able to control a characters most mundane actions, I feel just drives you even deeper into empathizing with them and truly immersing yourself into their world and story.

The possibility of these events is also nearly limitless. The amount of choices you get and things you choose or choose not to do list on and on, each altering the story some way or another. I've only played through the game once so far, but I plan on playing it again, and again, and again.

Some out there may understandably find this game boring. But I say if you have similar viewpoints on gaming as I do, and care about a good story, deep characters, and are able to see video games as more than just "games", but a whole other medium to tell gripping stories and can truly immerse yourself in it- Then I would say give this game a try. I wouldn't even call myself a big fan of crime/murder mysteries, but this really just drew me in right from the beginning.

Also, the music is fucking beautiful.

Hi Leggy!
I just wanted to say, after reading your journal about Heavy Rain, I was very interested in playing it.
So I googled it and learned a little more about it and decided to put it on my long list of games to play. I asked my brother about the game and he said that our uncle owned the game. I got really excited and my uncle let me borrow it.
The game is pretty awesome! I'm almost addicted.. no, I'm probably addicted xD I'm still on my first play through, but I'm fairly certain I'm going to play it again numerous times to try and get the other endings. So, if you have the time, would you mind recommending more games again in the future? You have a pretty good taste in them :)
