- An in-depth look and discussion of Heavy Rain.
I was so impressed when playing this game, it was fun, tense, thrilling and had so much potential only for there to be some major questions still remaining by the end of the game. It drives me nuts at how this game is both so incredible and so bad at the same time. If Ethans blackouts were resolved, Madisons nightmares were explained, and if we could play as Lauren, this game would be 100x times better than the current game we are left with. That said though, it's still an amazing experience and I would strongly recommend you play it if you haven't already.

The manfred thing is so stupid and makes absolutely no sense. It actually ruins the games story because it’s impossible for him to do that and doesn’t really make sense for him to call the cops on himself. It’s one reason why I think the Scott Shelby twist is terrible. And also when Norman fights the origami killer in Pacos apartment the killer is skinner and a different body type than Scott.
And like you said how does Scott have so much money. Also Scott’s motivation changes based on how many people are alive. If it’s only Ethan I’m pretty sure he lets you shoot him but if you have others alive he tries to shoot you and doesn’t wanna go to prison.
Then the games treatment of Madison is…questionable at best.
I played it when it was a game of the month for the Playstation Plus, I remember it wasn't my first game in this style, as I had played Wolf Among Us by Telltale before then. I remember that the story was really intense for me, myself being a traumatised dad going through a lot of mental turmoil at the time and the subject of child death makes me feel really upset in general. I remember doing all endings for the achievements. I remember mostly enjoying it, but hating some of the mechanics, specially the odd QTEs and the sudden camera changes, but I also remember it wasn't using moon logic for its puzzles, which was something I kind expected since this is basically a point and click 3D adventure game. Though I do remember the game being extremely annoying in the sense that sometimes it just straight up either lied to you to preserve its story, or forced a story point in a way that doesn't work at all.
I must admit, I'm really interested to know what your thoughts on beyond two souls is. I liked heavy rain, liked detroit become human and absolutely despised the one in between. It's one of the few games I've put down and decided 'nah, I'm done with this'.
There's just something about the way it's structured that left me wondering why I should care about the outcomes of most of the chapters.🕶
I learned things I've never heard about from this video! Especially as such an old game as a pioneer to this genre, I'd say it holds up in that aspect (despites its story flaws etc) As long as you can enjoy the gameplay experience now I'd say it's a good game!
I remember being a kid and being hooked into this game and I thought it was the most profound story telling and twist ever lol
Great video as always!
These are amazing keep it up!!
I never knew this game had dlc
I enjoyed this when i first played it about 6-7 years ago on ps3, but i agree with nearly everything you say about it here. Still a good game, but i will never replay it.
I really like your videos
*chef's kiss
This was great. Got a new sub for sure!
i got this on my homepage and just had to click! Will give my thoughts after watching but dropping a comment to help algorithm!
Heavy Rain was my first introduction to the Interactive movie genre and I loved it when I first played the PS3 version.
As I have gotten older there are several plot points that don't hold up or go nowhere like:
Ethan' blackouts
Scott Shelby's thoughts (early in the game) - I try to let this slide a little because obviously the writers can't give away that Shelby is the Origami Killer at the start of the game. Sadly a lot of Shelby's resources to be the killer don't make sense. I do like Shelby' motivation for being the killer because it reminds me of a Criminal Minds episode.
I like Madison, but I do not feel that the romance between her and Ethan is well developed or written.
Getting all the endings for the trophy was really boring!

just leaving a comment for the Algorithm, enjoyed the vid tho!
🕶️🕶️🕶️
It's a good game
Have you played the game Dusk?
I played this game a few weeks ago and I did love it but it definitely wasn’t a masterpiece like Detroit become human the story was a bit confused and the twist wasn’t the best I would have just left out the mad jack and the doc stories because they are a bit random as villains
I do hope they release the game as a remake one day and add more things to make it better
Thats what remakes and reboots should do, take underperforming media and fix the issues with it. I know money and clout drive remaking good stuff, but I'm sure folks would be on board for a cleaner and tighter narrative and controls from this story.
@@AllenGray47 yeah and what it would look like now would be amazing

I found it distracting how you kept mispronouncing "Origami Killer". It's actually pronounced "Ohr-reh-gam-ee Kilar". 😎
alternatively "ah-ra-gahr-me"
