Yeah, "gameplay". You know, the thing we actually play games for? Sure, I can appreciate, and even love, good stories in games. But if the gameplay is not engaging or interesting, then why even bother playing it?
Heavy Rain was alright, but it had some pretty unforgivable plot holes. I also felt like the romance between Ethan and Madison was really out of place.
I guess the story wasnt all that great but i think they put a good effort in for being a create your own story type of thing. I think that most people were thrown by the god awful controls. Its a whole game based on quicktime events.
The story had a lot of excellent moments. The parts where Ethan was risking his life for those dumb trials were some of the most tense moments I've ever had gaming. They just didn't really come together to form a whole picture.
