EWB's Best Poster. Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'll be getting it. Just like heavy rain its polarized reviews, not general consensus. So since I loved heavy rain I'm good for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Mom Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Just read a Beyond review. The non actioney stuff sounds fun. Stealth fighting in somalia or whatever does not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crybaby Bunting Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 So I picked up Kingdom Hearts HD Remix and Ni No Kuni. Which should I dive into first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatshortguy Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 So I picked up Kingdom Hearts HD Remix and Ni No Kuni. Which should I dive into first? Kingdom Hearts will be a shorter romp if you're wanting to earn the platinum. NNK can take a whollllle lot of time if you want it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Matzat Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm probably in a minority, but I found Heavy Rain's plot holes and silly B-movie set-pieces funny. I have a soft spot for unintentionally zany moments in video games, which is also why I like the original Resident Evil, despite not being a fan of its gameplay style at all. I am not certain you are alone with that. I remember a lot of people bringing the "you hate everything" Matzat rage when i stoped being into heavy rain on my second playthrough (but at least some people switched their opinion with a longer delay than i had so, eh)... i am still sad to this day that they killed the dlc for move. The heavy rain DLC easily was the best part of this game because with just once scene you had a ton of different options to compleed it. I read almost nothing about Beyond because we more or less know what we will get gameplay wise and why would i spoile much of the story beforehand? But i just glanced over some of the reviews - besides many calling the gameplay passive once again David Cages writing seems to be one of the main points of criticisem. Thats to bad, but we ll see.

Baddar Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Really surprised to see Beyond getting such negative reviews. Probably not a day 1 purchase, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 The gaming press hates change though... a new twist on the same old ideas is fine, but trying to drastically change what a video game can be is always met with resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Could just be that Heavy Rain was a boring game and Beyond didn't do it any better, though. Jus' saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Heavy Rain was one of the more memorable experiences I had this gen. My only gripe with it is it didn't have multiple killers depending on how you played... well, that and the rapey vibe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Matzat Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Multible killers would not have made to much sense i believe. Maybe they could have offered an ending were you are fully convinced someone did it and arresd him only to find out in a different play through how the real killer framed him.

Kaney Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Heavy Rain was a fantastic game that some people found boring. Has anyone here played Beyond that actually liked Heavy Rain? I'm put off by the reviews but I want a balanced opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I get what people liked about Heavy Rain, but as someone the prioritizes gameplay over story telling, it held literally no interest for me. I wouldn't class it as some kind of classic or amazing step forward, because I wouldn't really class it as much of a game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalaCloudy Black Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Beyond looks fun. I've never really played any David Cage games - just watched other people play them - but I've always enjoyed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Dead was the same deal for me, except I had some interest in the story of that one. I still didn't finish it myself, though. Got bored of the gameplay after the first episode and watched the rest from Mrs. TKz playing it. But I mean, outside of a few classics from my younger years, I've never been into Adventure games any way. But at least stuff like Space Quest and Day of the Tentacle was funny. The humor kept me interested in those, without that, the genre is just kind of boring to me. It's a very much "to each his/her own" kind of deal, but those games weren't fun for me.

Bobfoc Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 The gaming press hates change though... a new twist on the same old ideas is fine, but trying to drastically change what a video game can be is always met with resistance. Most members of the gaming press were hyping Beyond for months, and Heavy Rain has a Metascore of 87. I know you're not a fan of numerical scores, and neither am I, but the fact that it was one of the highest scoring games of the year when it came out must count for something when we're talking about how the press looked at it, especially when coupled with the fact that it won several mainstream awards too. If anything, I was expecting the likes of IGN and Gametrailers to overlook most of Beyond's flaws, much like they've been known to do with other heavily anticipated games, but the almost unanimous complaints over similar issues indicates to me that this reaction is far from a steadfast resistance to change.
