Zero Punctuation: Heavy Rain
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Wauw, I have watched all the Zero Punctuation episodes multiple times by now, but this one is by far the best. He's not even completely hating it, yet at the same time gets to the core and destroys it. Fantastic!
I actually quite liked it.
By the by, "Heavy Complain"?
That is a stretch.
Thought I loved it I can fully understand while others would not. The start is slow, but I think it needed to be. This is obviously a work of love,
based on the way he lost his own son [http://blogs.ign.com/SCE_HeavyRain]. This is his grieving process and I think quite an amazing one.
Of course, I loved Shenmue as well, so I also just enjoy a mood deepening leisurely pace.

I don't own a PS3 myself,but I will just give me my 2 cents.I played Fahrenheit and I enjoyed it even though 90% of the game was QTE.Heavy Rain on the other hand I have watched gameplay movies and I can say that I can agree with Yahtzee with his statements.
On the other hand,I would consider buying it if I'd own a PS3,just putting it out there
PS: Another funny review,good job!

Most of the review is pretty accurate, except for the end where he implies that he knew who the killer was going to be from the start.
I, on the other hand, was blown away when I found out who the real killer was, mostly because of the fact they drop a crapload of false clues in the story to make you think it's different people throughout the story.
Maybe Yahtzee is just psychic...

Well, most of those I've seen talk about it says it is, and it really fucking IS!!! When they announced the movie I thought that would be the game except they removed the buttons you need to press.delta46 said:
I didn't want him to do a review of this game because I thought I knew what he'd say about it. I was wrong, he did surprise me and I love this review.
Wasn't gonna get it before, still not gonna get it now. I watched a friend play and I can honestly tell you it was the most boring game I have ever seen. Bad gameplay, bad pacing, bad characters, bad story.
I wouldn't hold my breath for a FF XIII review from Yahtzee He's been quite clear on his thoughts of JRPGs. Finished God of War III today. It may be my new third favorite game ever. Super epic.Eagle Est1986 said:
OT: This was the funniest review of his in months. Shampoo-drinkingly will have to be added to my lexicon of awesome Yahtzee-inspired adverbs.
Funny as always but im still getting this, mostly just to get a break from all the gods of war rip offs and power armored space marines!
Interesting interpretation of, "as a game, it's a stack of poo poo pancakes."ForgottenPr0digy said:
That's pretty much what I derived from researching it, really. It's not so much a game as it is a cinematic experience. Then, it's not so much a cinematic experience as it is a movie with some elements of interactions being rendered on PS3 hardware.
On the other hard, it did make Yahtzee highly uncomfortable, so it served as an excellent game for a Zero Punctuation review.
Hm, I hear Heavy Rain is really good, so I'll probably buy it, but I didn't like this episode that much. Yahtzee's pacing and tone sound rushed and really off.
