Superstarmaste1r Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I say don't buy the game because the gameplay might be boring since when I first played the demo, I was totally confused and think it is too melodramatic in this game. Don't buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickNU19 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's a different game, but isn't that hard if you want to plat, just boring and time consuming because of all the endings, but give it a try, you may like it the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmaimonHD Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I thought it was a little better than Heavy Rain, though others have said the opposite. It's really only good for the one playthrough though. I didn't want to go through the whole game multiple times to get the plat. If you want a game with replay value, this doesn't have it. If you want a good story buy it and play through it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goekie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Did not like this game one bit. I think boring describes it best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potter13579 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's a good game, but it's no Heavy Rain. You don't want to compare it too harshly to Heavy Rain or you might not enjoy it as much as you'd like to. Definitely try it out if you like Heavy Rain, but just know you're not getting a better game than Heavy Rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltySoph Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I personally liked the game but I've heard many others say they didn't like it and they reviews weren't that great either. Its easy plat if that's why you want to play it, but if you don't use a guide which I didn't I had to play it like 6 times which was really boring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Flop Posted July 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yes. The game is actually one of my favorite games, and I surprisingly liked it better than 'Heavy Rain'! You should try out the demo from PSN. (Unless the demo somehow ain't available anymore.) I think the game is underrated, since critics and customers as well seemed to disliked the game, and even if they don't dislike it, they just find it rather boring. I dunno, you should give the game a chance. I personally think it's an amazing game, I loved every bit of it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I thought the first half of the game was amazing but the second half was a bunch of boring confusing crap, overall it was disappointing but i still think it is worth a playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKSCORPONOXR Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) yeah apparently its really rubbish and confusin but i remember many reviews sayin the same thing about heavy rain yet it was stunnin... im gettin beyond eventually but the only thing im not goin to like about it is ellen pages' voice if they added it in lol...

YTPerfectParadox Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I personally think its better than Heavy Rain by a little bit. i feel truly sorry for anyone who says dont buy it because its one of the most fantastic games ive ever played. if you do get it play on the higher 'difficulty' it doesnt make things harder but it changes the controls to give you more control and i get a feeling the people who say it was confusing think so because of the lower difficulty controls. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transi3tor Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I didnt think it was a bad game. As I really liked playing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGeass1 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Loved the game, only gets a bit boring when you're going for platinum so you have to replay most of the chapters. Only negative point is that certain decisions for example if a character dies or not, does not really have many consequences in the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularbender Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I actually really liked the game. There's not much gameplay to it, but I really enjoyed the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordidude Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I don't think bts is good by any standards. As a game it doesn't work. The gameplay is terribly boring and most of the things you can do have 0 impact on the story whatsoever. At some QTE sections you can put the controller away and have the same results as succeeding. As a movie it's also bad. Characters show no development and the storytelling is awful; nothing is explained by actions, but by narration; the drastic change of Nathan near the end is a good example. Instead of developing the character of Nathan he pretty much stays the same the whole time but in the end he spits out all the changes in one big monolog. A good movie/game shows you these changes gradually by the decisions made. And also I HATE that the game is non chronological. 1. It makes many choices you have to make worthless since we know Jodie will survive anyway. 2. It's a mess. Instead of having a great puzzle that gets resolved as we progress, we have a few action packed/important situations (the part after in the small town where she gets chased, the CIA Mission, underwater section, the ending part) that the developers want to show us. But there are too many holes in this story, instead of explanations how Jodie got in these situations we get tons of story that has nothing to do with anything else and just serves as a filler (Sheikh, Navajo, Party, The Bar etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zyzz19uMad Posted August 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2014 I loved it. You just have to accept it more as a movie than a game. I think Ellen Page did great as a main character, plus the relationship with Aiden was sweet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCuervo88 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 fine to play once... after that it makes me want to gouge my eyes out from boredom... makes platinum hunting suck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparentely you didn't really play the game, since there are several endings with Jodie dying. 2. I thought the change between quiet episodes and action episodes was really good and kept it interesting. And I didn't think there were many holes in the story, everything made sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie1989 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I enjoyed the first playthrough as the story was decent and overall fairly enjoyable but doing all the endings etc is dull because you know what is coming especially when you are like me and you make an error and have to repeat the entire game to correct it!!

DragonwagonX Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 What I really liked about the game was the fact that it was two player, my Fiancé (girlfriend at the time) And I played it together. I was Aiden and she was Jodie. Had a blast So if you can find a buddy to play with, it becomes even better in my opinion. I can't deny the platinum being pretty long and was annoying...but was worth it in the end. Overall not a bad game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosweaverkira- Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I Think it was a great game just slightly better than Heavy Rain, and i can understand why its not in chronological order otherwise there wont be any surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reversj Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Really enjoyed my first playthrough (not focussing on trophies) and liked the game very much. Getting the platinum wasn't as great since you have to replay a lot of stuff + it forced me to make choices I would not have made normally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
