what do you get out of this? Does it really make you happy inside that a PS3 game gets a low score, does it?

i agree I wanted Heavy Rain to be as awesome as they said it would be, but seriously the game QTE borefest isnt for me.
idk what ur talking about heavy rain already got a 9 one some website idk where someone on the forums posted it, and you cant compare the two of them anyway, the two games arent even close to eachother, alan wake is ment to ne like silent hill and has one basic storyline while heavy rain is like a detective story where theres alot of different possblitiies, if a characters dies in the game thats is for him he doesnt come back, making each time through be very uniquie, so you cant even compare the two games
Really I do not care what the game scores. But lets be honest it does look pretty lame.what do you get out of this? Does it really make you happy inside that a PS3 game gets a low score, does it?

The 2 games can be compared they are both going for that interactive story drivien game. And Alan Wake looks to be much better.idk what ur talking about heavy rain already got a 9 one some website idk where someone on the forums posted it, and you cant compare the two of them anyway, the two games arent even close to eachother, alan wake is ment to ne like silent hill and has one basic storyline while heavy rain is like a detective story where theres alot of different possblitiies, if a characters dies in the game thats is for him he doesnt come back, making each time through be very uniquie, so you cant even compare the two games

even as a ps3 owner, i know that A.W. will sell more, be more appealing, and probably score better? Why, because its just more of a "game" than heavy rain. I know heavy rain is going to do something new or try to with its QTE, but yeah it needs to do something more. Maybe make it more adventurous. But yeah i just hope Heavy rain turns out well.
You know you did a little bit of a comparison between the two yourself, right? k just pointing outidk what ur talking about heavy rain already got a 9 one some website idk where someone on the forums posted it, and you cant compare the two of them anyway, the two games arent even close to eachother, alan wake is ment to ne like silent hill and has one basic storyline while heavy rain is like a detective story where theres alot of different possblitiies, if a characters dies in the game thats is for him he doesnt come back, making each time through be very uniquie, so you cant even compare the two games

almost every game is an interactive story drivin game, just to tell ya, its like comparing Uncharted 2 to Halo 3 they have nothing to do with eachother
Not even the same kind of game. People have different interests, I'm sure there are a few people who aren't excited about Alan Wake here and are in fact pumped about Heavy Rain.siLVURcross
Yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of people looking forward to making a middle aged man shower up and eat breakfast...
why are we even comparing the two?kolkov01
Its like asking what would you want for breakfast: eggs and bacon (AW) or a bowl of poo (HR)?

expected this from a lem...
Anyway im gonna weigh in i see Heavy rain more like a CYOA comic in a sense its gonna be diffrent and offers a lot of possibilities and makes each gameplay unique.
Alan wake on the other hand just seems like another survival horror and imo seems to be looking butchered i was looking forward to it on some of its premise like openworld etc but its failed to deliver it might still be a good game but it was just something that made it looked diffrent.
i doubht many gamers would play Heavy Rain now adays, maybe in the past but most people want shooters

obviously, you haven't really done much research into Heavy Rain. i think the story is going to be great. yes, its an adventure game. you apparently don't like that genre, which is fine. however, i think your time would be better served providing constructive input rather than needlessly bashing other people's preferences.[QUOTE="kolkov01"]why are we even comparing the two?MizFitAwesome

Well the bowl of poo would have already processed eggs and bacon, yum.i agree...i do think its going to be a fairly niche title. if its anything like farenheit or indigo prophecy, i'll be happy. certainly not a game for everyone, though.i doubht many gamers would play Heavy Rain now adays, maybe in the past but most people want shooters

ok the two sides to this:
1. Dont compare the two because they are of different genres. I agree with this because you cant really compare an action oriented/thriller like silent hill (alan wake)with a more subtle game like HEavy Rain. for example, comparing a sports game with uncharted.
2. The second side is saying that it can be compared because both are justgames (in general): with a story. I dont agree to this because 90% of the time, every game has a story. LIke the guy posted: "eggs and bacon" for breakfast. It doesnt make sense because obviously they are games, but now lets get past that notion and see what each game has to offer in its own unique way. ONly then can we decide which gives a better experience, a newer type of experience, etc.
he's expressing his opinion, he thinks alan wake is better than heavy rain, he's entitled to his opinion,just as you are entitled to disagree,i personally think heavy rain looks better than alan wake, but it is a QTE borefest as far as i am concerned, so alan wake is the better game as far as i am concernedwhat do you get out of this? Does it really make you happy inside that a PS3 game gets a low score, does it?

I just wrote that because, of the topic title :P. But yeah i know what you mean.

this is what i was trying to point out. It doesnt affect him (unless he has a ps3). but comeon, its a game: they sometimes do bad, and sometimes they do well. You cant expect a game to be always the best when it comes out. If it gets a low score, who cares.
[QUOTE="Cruncha_Munch"]I can not see how anyone can try and claim they are 2 different games. that is BS. And nothing more then trying to use a fake defense to cover that how lame HR is looking now. They are both interative thriller type games. Yes they both have a different story. But they are both clearly interactive thriller games. So tell me again how they are not in the same game type? Yeah really you can't so stop making such BS claims.clone01so mario kart and forza 3 aren't different types of games. i mean, they both have racing, right?
nice example. This is exactly what i was trying to say earlier. Each game has a different uniqueness. You seriously can't say FORza 3 is better than MK or the other way around, its just that each game does some better than the other in some aspects.

I'll take the bowl of poo just to spite you.
You also should actually look into a game like Heavy Rain before you bash it. If you think all the game is about is having a character bathe, eat, etc than it just shows you don't know very much about the game

well if it isnt the pot calling the kettle black.

I'm playing Darksiders on my PS3 right now. This has nothing to do with what system. It has to do with from what we see Alan Wake >>> Heavy Rain and yes they are both interactive story telling games.Right becuasee Alan Wake has nothing to do with being story drivin or interacting with the enviorment? Ueah right Come on people. http://kotaku.com/5404421/alan-wake-gameplay-comes-to-in-all+new-videothe games arent comparable whatsoever.

[QUOTE="Kandlegoat"]spot on,ones a survival horror the other is a QTE borefestthe games arent comparable whatsoever.

QTE borefest? you've played it!?
I'd probably rather play a QTE borefest then point a flashlight at spirits LOL. I mean, I'd be surprised if you even used your face buttons in Alan Wake.
See what I did there? I made an opinion based on a game that I've only seen the trailers and haven't played.
