I don’t know man. It’s still a lot like that. I can remember press X to scream as well if that makes you feel better. I guess I just didn’t care much for it overall.You sound like a 10 year old child who saw some memes about the chase scene and the press x to Jason shit on some youtube compilation and decided that's what the entire game must be like well hardy fucking har.
Heavy Rain also has very distinct game mechanics,especially for its time,how about the investigative aspect of the game not unlike something like point and click adventure games(or are those not games either?) or the consequences for the multiple choices that lead to different endings..Mind you this was a 2010 game,multiple endings werent all that common in the console gaming space back then.
Sure the voice acting for the most part is pretty awful and some scenes are downright hilarious but it had an identity and soul,it tried to tell a story.Not something i can say for 80% of the garbage "games" that get released these days.
And the formula was improved upon with each game until its final form with Detroit which is incredible.(And it rectified Heavy Rain's shortcomings by having amazing voice acting and an amazing chase scene to boot)
I think “tried” to tell a story is well put. It’s some of the stupidest drivel I’ve ever seen.
You literally play as the detective and he walks around by himself at home and says stuff like “hmm I’ve looked through all the evidence, how can I not figure out who did this?”, and then it is him? Come on.
Not that story in videogames tend to be good, but at least the gameplay usually makes up for it. In this case both the gameplay and story is just atrocious.
I will say I did not play it when it initially launched. I did get a couple of laughs from it though, and still do from time to time. So there’s that I guess.
