Put me in that group.Aaand that makes two of us.
I didn't buy it because David cage can't even write a coherent paragraph let alone a whole game.
I can't think of a single worse writer I could name.
This. After Indigo Prophecy I can't trust him to make a decent game/movie.
One step closer to the movie genre being dead. Hooray!
As a game it's pretty crummy. The player getting the most actual gameplay would be whoever's controlling Aiden. The game is extremely visually appealing, and looks great in my opinion. Story and gameplay wise are meh. If they put the story in order instead of all over the place I think it could have been an even more enjoyable experience
No game ever deserves more sales than it gets, if it hasn't sold enough it clearly has inherent flaws.

Taken as a movie it's completely awful. There's no sense of pace, the story is spliced in random out of order scenes each one utterly disconnected from the rest. Several moronic, nonsensical moments.
David Cage is an awful writer with little to no taste and his work does not deserve to be rewarded. I haven't played Heavy Rain but if it's actually worse...good lord.
Definitely. The story was already a bit meh, but changing the order definitely broke it.
Not everybody is Christopher Nolan.
I don't understand the appeal of the "interactive movie" genre.
No it doesn't, otherwise we will see more of his awful projects. This trend continues and he'll give up sooner or later.
I do not understand the constant BS I read about STORY NOT BEING GOOD. No need to pay attention to people like that.
The only thing that even rivals heavy rain this gen is duke 3d.
Even trash like rogue warrior is better than hd/dn3d.
Does it really?
I played the demo and it seems like a game I'd spend 15 euro on max. All those damn QTE's.
I'd agree that the game doesn't have any heights as big as Heavy Rain (cutting off your own finger is something i don't think any game this gen has beaten).

I understand people's criticisms of the game. But even taken as a movie it's better than most of what's come out in theaters this year. It joins Heavy Rain as one of the few games to make me cry.
My source is likely bullshit, but is saying Beyond has sold about 1/4 the number of copies of Heavy Rain. That's just a tragedy. Definitely a better game, better controls, better story, better acting and voice. Better everything.
Why didn't you buy it?
So you are going to ignore people with legit critisms of a game's story? Why don't you explain why it is a good story. (Not sarcasm, I really want to have a discussion on this)I enjoyed both:
- The Last of US and Beyond Two Souls.
Both are game of the year caliber.
I definitely enjoyed Beyond more considering the amount of options and the kick ass graphics produced awesome atmosphere.

I don't remember all that many QTEs...?

Dude makes call of duty look like Shakespeare.
Heavy rain is the worst game I've ever played. Atrocious writing, horrific voice acting, constant crashes/control bugs, ugly as fuck, a shitty mcguffin, I could go on for an hour. Why would I pay money for the developers next game.
Honestly, Beyond made me think of Inception more than most movies. Even has one of the same stars, and the same composer.
As a big budget Hollywood film, I think it would be a decent art/action film similar to Nolan stuff. I don't see why not.

Really ? Heavy Rain and Beyond 2S are two of the best games I've played this gen.Heavy rain is the worst game I've ever played.
