Heavy Rain

Anyone played it? Thinking of getting this over Mafia II.

Terrible control scheme, but for narrative junkies like me it's fantastic. More of an interactive movie than a game, but it's pretty spectacular.

And from a financial standpoint, if you buy Heavy Rain now it will be cheaper than Mafia II, and then if you buy Mafia II later it will be cheaper. Obviously.

Do you play any games at all? Besides mind games

Red Dead lid, just completed it. That apart, not much.

Heard so many mixed reviews of it, but think i'd like to give it a try. It seems like a game you need to spend a bit of time with...which I never seem to have.

Controls though are supposed to be a selling point.

That's a frustrating one for me.

I dislike Rockstar's games and well... I hate westerns.

Really? Everyone I know who's played it, is in agreeance with me.

That said, you do get used to it. It's just the movement that's the problem (You have to hold R2 and then move the joystick, but it's clumsy. You'll often walk into walls, or turn like a robot -- it detracts from the serious moments in the game, shall we say!!).

But don't worry, it doesn't come close to making it any less of a must play.

Nah its ace man. I'm fond of the online [Poor language removed] where you shoot one of your own team mates on purpose, repeatedly.

I had some serious cussing my way from nerdy gangstas.

That sounds like you, alright.

Baiting 24/7, through any and all mediums.

And only losers smoke weed.

And only losers smoke weed.

So that makes me a... bad nerd winner.

They are. If you're going to get the move thing, I'd hold off for that version, because wiimote style control would work a lot better.
