@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy OK will take a look! I've not even played the first game yet so may not even like that. 😆

Playing RE4 and close to the end, I think. Awesome game, it really kicks off about half way in.
Was playing FFX but left it close to the end as I wasn't leveled up enough, so need to grind, tiresome stuff. After playing RE4 I'm wondering will I have the patience to go back to it....

Detroit: Become Human. Never played this on the PS4 for some reason even though I loved Heavy Rain, but I guess better late than never. Still looks gorgeous and I've enjoyed the first couple of hours so far.

@KilloWertz I hope you enjoy Detroit. The version I got came with Heavy Rain but, despite really liking Detroit for what it was, I still haven't gone back and tried it. Really should do someday.

@RogerRoger I still am. Unless David Cage completely dropped the ball with the second half of the game (I doubt he did), I will end up highly enjoying it.

I got Detroit: Become Human when it was a PS Plus game. I think I bought the Heavy Rain/Beyond: Two Souls bundle when it was on sale at one point, but have yet to play Beyond and haven't replayed Heavy Rain. Maybe someday when I have a couple of openings.

@KilloWertz Yeah, they're a curious bunch of games. Having played a demo of Fahrenheit back on the PS2, and then skipping straight to Detroit, I'm keen to see what happened back in the middle there. People say that Heavy Rain hasn't aged too well, which is what makes me nervous about booting it up, I think. I've heard slightly better things about Beyond, though.

Will be interesting to see what ending you get in Detroit, so best of luck!

@RogerRoger That's a shame if people are right about Heavy Rain as I absolutely loved that game back on the PS3. Someday I'll probably play it again, especially since I'll be getting trophies for it all over again of course. I'll probably play Beyond as well, if for nothing else but to finally have my own opinion since they are mixed for the game. Well, that and I paid money for it.

Thanks. We'll see obviously. I'm trying to get a "good" ending, but I'm not sure what the ending options really are since I decided to play the game finally out of the blue. Well, that and obviously I didn't want the endings spoiled.

@KilloWertz Well, I'd value your updated opinion on Heavy Rain, as and when. A positive take might finally make me bump it up my backlog (and then I might think about getting Beyond, as well).

Yeah, my previous comment was initially worded a little differently. Didn't wanna give anything away! No matter what may or may not happen, I just hope you're satisfied with how your playthrough plays out.

@RogerRoger I'm not sure when I will be able to get to Heavy Rain again. Definitely not right after Detroit as I try to mix it up as much as I can, but we'll see. I'm a bit curious if it holds up for me as well though.

I've only "cheated" a couple of times and went back to the cloud save when I messed up.

@KilloWertz I wouldn't call that cheating! That's just another way to play!

@RogerRoger True. I know it's somewhat against the nature of the game, but it's in a way a product of not being able to sit down and play a game multiple times right away. There's at least one thing per the three main characters you play as that I have predetermined that I don't want to mess up since this could be my only playthrough of the game given backlog plus new games. At least for a while.

@KilloWertz @RogerRoger I really enjoyed Detroit a lot. Heavy Rain also, despite its less complex design. I really like Detroit’s integration of the chart which maps your decisions so you can actually see where you’ve veered off and have other options had you made other choices. Even though I didn’t go back and play through some of the other pathways, it’s nice knowing how diverse the outcomes can be and makes it even more special when you do get your ending. Heavy Rain doesn’t have that and it definitely has fewer possible outcomes, but the murder mystery aspect still makes for great storytelling.

I think I'm on the verge of abandoning Metal Gear Solid V once again.

I'd forgotten that the second half of the game consists mainly of re-used missions, and I soon realised that this was the reason I never finished it back in 2015. I just can't bring myself to do it, not when the brutal checkpointing system can cause you to lose half an hour's play with an accidental press of a button.

Also, I'm really struggling with the story. The consensus seems to be that this is Kojima's great unfinished masterpiece, but personally (and maybe this belongs in the controversial opinions thread) I think it's a mercy the game was never finished because this plot is bobbins of the highest order. Also, Quiet is embarrassing. My wife walked in the other day and I swear it would have been less awkward if I'd been watching porn. With my parents.

Also slightly off-putting, but nowhere near as annoying, is Keifer Sutherland as Snake. It's like listening to a cover version of one of your favourite songs - you can appreciate that it's not terrible, in fact it might even be technically better; but it'll always feel... wrong.

I don't want to seem like I hate MGS V, because I genuinely believe that, purely from a gameplay point of view, it's one of the PS4's best titles. I just don't have it in me to beat it. Forgive me, Snake.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@Gremio108 That’s pretty dead on with my thoughts on V as well. I couldn’t see it through to the end cause of that second half. The gameplay’s good yeah but it can be a bit too big at times and yes, Quiet is an utter embarrassment despite the actress clearly trying very hard. It has potential for sure but I personally think it needed more of a substantial ‘back to the drawing board’ approach than just adding the missing chapters like some people suggest.

@KilloWertz @Th3solution Yeah, as much as I adored Detroit (and do love replaying my favourite games from time to time), I couldn't imagine starting up a second, alternate playthrough right away, let alone the third, fourth or fifth needed to see every possible eventuality. It's wonderful that it can be so sprawling and so unique to each individual player, but when I was done, I was done.

I think I know the outcome of the mystery in Heavy Rain. It might've popped up in a video I was watching or something, so I'm a little worried that I'll start the game, remember it and then feel like I'm just going through the motions for the rest of the playthrough.

@Gremio108 Say it ain't so, Gremio!

In all honesty, as much as I adore the game, I can't argue with any of your points. There is one final, beautiful revelation waiting for you on the other side of all those re-used missions, as well as a few nice moments scattered between them, but you shouldn't force yourself through an experience you're not enjoying to see it (not when the relevant cutscene is free on YouTube). Its context might help reduce the plot from "bobbins" to "barely coherent" but it's not gonna reverse your opinion.

And I do really like Kiefer Sutherland's performance, but that's largely because I like Kiefer Sutherland, and not because I think he's a better choice than David Hayter. There's a moment where they could get away with justifying the change, but don't bother, and it's a hugely missed opportunity.

@RogerRoger I had the identity of the killer in Heavy Rain spoiled for me (thanks OPM), and still enjoyed the game. It was a couple years until I played the game and I kept second guessing if my memory was right. The controls aren't as refined in Detroit so may take awhile gettingnused to them.

@jdv95 Yeah and they even had a screenshot of the killer, so even if you didn't read it wouldn't have been hard to put 2 and 2 together.

@nessisonett @RogerRoger Yep, I just can't do it. Blaming Kojima's rift with Konami almost feels like a cop out of sorts. Part of me wonders whether Koj knew he had lost it, and used that as an excuse to bail.

I think I'd like Sutherland's performance more if he actually had amything to do. It seems odd to acquire such a big name and use him so little.

Roger, the only thing that's stopping me from watching the game out in youtube is that it would mean crossing the un-crossable line. Once I've done that, I'm never going to finish it. It irks me that I played all the other Metal Gear Solids but didn't manage this one. But then, it's unfinished, so maybe it's fitting. I don't know. I'll have to think on it!

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@JohnnyShoulder I got spoiled as to who the killer was immediately after playing the chapter with the baby. Needless to say I was so disheartened I didn’t play the rest of the game.
