You're right, but it's considered improper to say so in places like this. The video game industry is dying to prove how mature it can be, and Heavy Rain positioned itself as the go-to example. When the game turned out like crap, it was too late to go back.

You're crazy! It's just like those classic films. Don't you remember the bit in Boogie Nights where the guy struggles to cook and serve some eggs? Or how in Pulp Fiction 90% of the only female character's scenes featured her stripping naked or being abused by men?

Agreed, it has a complete failure of a story.

Why yes, yes it is. And don't sweat the people saying "well you're in the minority". Because the "majority" opinion is populated by mostly video gamers with obvious bias. Lots of whom are kids and probably thought it was deep and provocative. But they simply don't know better because the best plots they see are in…

Heavy Rain is proof that David Cage would be a purveyor of B-movies with incoherent plots, if he were allowed to make movies. We need to stop this charade acting like this guy makes good games. I can name ten games which had better stories and better gameplay than heavy rain.

I'm not defending Microsoft's actions and I will NEVER buy an Xbox One in order to show my distaste of their decisions in the one way companies understand, with my wallet. That doesn't change the fact that the title of this article was a low blow.

Agreed, on both your points.

Wow, all of that in no way refutes my point, whatsoever.

Nick Denton (owner of Gawker Media, and quite a rich fellow) went cheap when it came to buying a video showing the mayor of North America's 7th largest city smoking crack cocaine. He balked at the 200,000 dollar asking price, so they decided to run a gimmick Kickstarter campaign and have Gawker readers raise the…

Just imagine if you had to have your cellphone connected to a tower to use the calculator application or music player.

No, don't go and watch Iron Sky, it's beyond terrible.

If you're talking about L.A. Noire, all they did was facial capture using MotionScan, similar to how it's used in film to create digital doubles of actors. They hand animated all the body movements, which is why the hyper realistic faces stand out like a sore thumb on those rigid bodies.

Full-body motion capture is far…

Die of old age at 110, peacefully in their sleep?

Start a game in 1066 as one of the counts in Ireland, and set yourself two short term (i.e. a single lifetime) goals: produce an heir, and become a Duke (which will require you to take maybe one other county). And just ride it out and see how things go, but don't really worry about anything besides Ireland and maybe…

What's with everyone taking literal sense to what you're saying about the library card?

And you have stumbled onto the bigger picture and problem with all of this. Feminism is an ideology. Ideological thinking never leads to the truth. It can bring about awareness to new ideas in its fruition, but in the end it boxes itself in until the point where it starts distorting and misinterpreting reality until…

The word you're looking for is called scotoma. "The mind sees what it chooses to see." I believe it's Latin.
