Re: Heavy Rain Dev Wants You to Stop Crying and Start Competing in New Multiplayer Game

Oddly, I just bought Fahrenheit in the recent sale and having not played it since it's launch on the OG Xbox, boy is it gloriously terrible. The emotional scene when Lucas' ex comes over and he's got Thus Spake Zarathustra as his bedside reading is when it fully clicked that this was in another realm of nonsense in regards to pathos. Never has 'Self Overcoming' sounded so apt as a double entendre.
I did geniunely like the narrative in Become Human though. It was far less heavy handed in it's themes.

Re: 'It Saved the Game': Sword of the Sea Dev Praises Sony, Explains PS Plus Deal

@Frmknst I'm in agreement with your sentiments. I thought it was rather disappointing. Journey was, and still is, one of my most memorable video game experiences and yet this, despite all the praise, felt completely empty with no subtext to what was actually happening. Just literally felt like mammals and fish flew around because it looked visually striking. Nothing else beyond that though

@ShogunRok I remember discussing Journey with someone and they asked about my first playthrough. I waxed lyrical about having the same companion who stayed by my side. They raced ahead during the final flight but then waited at the final platform and we joyfully chirped away into the white oblivion. He told the tale that the same happened to him except that his faithful companion disappeared during the climb against the blizzard and never returned, leaving him to take that final flight alone without any feelings other than one of loss.
