The PS exclusive talk over TLoU made me wonder about another PS3 game that I never played with a PS4 remaster: Heavy Rain. I have a coworker babbling about it, but I'm not sure about his game opinions. Is it any good?

DESPITE ALL MY RAGE I'M STILL JUST DAVID CAGE

I think Heavy Rain is a pretty cool experience if you're not expecting some amazing tour de force like it was being hyped as. It's a decent adventure game. And yeah, it has the David Cage-isms like short haired girls in their underwear and being able to pee in toilets and stuff and the weird accents in the voice acting. I dunno. I enjoyed it. I think it's worth playing.

Something I'm not enjoying, however, is Horizon Zero Dawn. I feel like I got roped into the goon hype and I'm very dissapointed with it. I feel like your traversal options suck, the combat feels clunky, there's no sense of discovery, visual glitches pop up everywhere, and I'm tired of looting crafting items off the ground every five steps. What do people see in this game that makes it so great?

I realize I just praised a David Cage game and disparaged a well loved game in the same post, but.

It's like a Dan Brown book. You'll get caught up in it and can't put it down and at the end you'll be going "What in the actual gently caress was that bullshit?".

Well I can see your point. I enjoyed Heavy Rain during my first and only playthrough. Horizon quickly got old and I've still got lots to do...

I wish it had been there from the start but when I got the chip in Nier A that automatically picks stuff up from the ground... It was glorious. So good. Wish Horizon had something similar. And didn't have limited inventory space which is NEVER a fun mechanic in loot-heavy games.

david cage games are kinda trashy fun in the way bad b movies are. it's like someone took a choose your own adventure novel and turned it into a low budget movie with underpaid, amateur actors (well ok beyond two souls had real big name actors but they seemed just as confused about why they were there as I was)

make no mistake tho; cage games are pretty bad. the core gameplay conceit is pretty interesting but you could just play until dawn instead. go in with low expectations for the plot and you'll still be disappointed. also cage is a lizard man that has never even met a woman, let alone experienced a romantic emotion, and thus the romances in his game are unfathomably bad

The romance in Fahrenheit has to be seen to be believed. Holy poo poo.

Ellen Page's ghost buddy being jealous when she invites a guy home for dinner was kind of cute, though.

I assume he gets all his romance tips from watching porn.

Beyond was the worst though because the guy was an utter rear end in a top hat and you can shoot him down at every opportunity but the story demanded they shack up. I think you can get him killed eventually though.

ellen page's ghost buddy is her dead brother and poltergeists around by ruining her poo poo so I disagree, also the romantic interest for page in that game is a real piece of poo poo. gently caress that guy

:shrug: you're kind of saying you're experiencing the direct opposite of pretty major reasons people are enjoying/have enjoyed it, which is fairly strange but I could see someone expecting something like Dynasty Warriors or Soulsborne in the combat and coming out feeling it to be clunky by comparison. Sometimes a game doesn't click, and that happens often since the game experience process is inherently subjective. The same could be said about the climbing part if you're coming off Breath of the Wild or an AssCreed game where almost everything is climbable and you have grappling hooks and stuff.

Most loot is super abundant in-game and you are kind of driven to be choosy rather than always be picking everything up, but that's not typical of most games and isn't driven home as a factor of gameplay by anything other than maybe your inventory size.

Can't speak to the visual glitching part, though, it's being hailed even by other developers as an incredible game on a technical level, like frame timings and foliage density and stuff.

Yeah I didn't want to spoil it but I know. I still thought it was kind of funny how petty he was was with the furniture stacking. I see Aiden (?) as very dangerous, protective child[ with very little empathy for anyone who isn't Ellen Page.

It's also the best part. It's a neat little side story.

Haha, I originally played on pc and was nice to the ex girlfriend character. She immediately fucks you, and you have to thrust the mouse back and forth to hump.

I played it again years later on Xbox and was deliberately a dick to her so I didn't have to see that ridiculous poo poo.

And then... Zombie sex. I honestly didn't expect that so I was nice to that woman.

I enjoyed it for the most part in my 1 run through on PS3. The detective bits are the best, press X to Shaun is...not so good. But if you're getting it cheap probably worth a playthrough at least. The car scene is good fun, and That One Scene is pretty drat visceral.

The disc copy on PS3 came with a piece of paper and origami instructions while it installed, which is probably the best thing Cage has ever done since it didn't involve peeing.

Boy howdy am I glad I got Lost Legacy for free because it is a horrendously poorly designed game.

I'm currently being repeatedly respawned standing in the middle of a firefight with 3 guys shooting me because I keep dying on this bit due to another guy shooting at me with a rocket launcher.

I presume it was the Naughty Dog b-team that worked on this?

End of an era. The fact they kept them running for so long is impressive. I wish I'd been there in the heydey of online, but I was at least fortunate to have done a bit of co-op and invading before they went away, some time ago.

RIP Demons Souls. Bring on the HD version.

If there is one thing that I am really happy I got to be there for, it was the release of Demon's Souls. Invasion working exactly as intended without a bunch of PVP builds built off of a wiki. No voice chat. Best time I've ever had playing a game. I've never been so intimidated by a game. Souls wasn't a meme it was just this weird game everyone was trying to figure out. I hope something else recaptures that for me someday.

I’ll say this much, it’s not as though they sold you an incomplete game and kept the important stuff as DLC. In fact, the game is a much better thematic experience without it.

When it worked. Soul memory was an awful system for people like me that liked to "farm" upgrade materials and the name-engraved ring was a half-assed fix. Out of all three dark souls+BB, is the one I could co-op the least by a long shot.

well if you're just in it for the visuals then I will say that burial at sea is very pretty. the first one starts off letting you walk around rapture before it collapses and might be worth checking out for that. it's burial at sea 2 that people have been making GBS threads on constantly
