Heavy Rain: Fun and emotionally exhausting

Mar 01, 2010 20:59

I finished Heavy Rain this weekend, which I think is the quickest turnaround for a game for me, in like ever. For all of its flaws (and it does have some, both minor and major), Heavy Rain is one of the most compelling experiences I’ve ever played through. From the opening moments, it grabbed me by the throat and wouldn’t let go, even after I ( Read more... )

I was kinda shocked that it was Shelby. He was the most likable character through the whole thing, and I was always pumped when I got to play as him.

I guess I screwed up near the end and had Ethan in prison for a long time. I didn't even touch on the final trial.

Is there a way to not kill Shelby? I twitched and shot him and the religious nut.

And what was the significance of the train tracks?

I shot the religious nut in the beginning, too. I'm sure there probably is a way in which Shelby gets away. My ending sounds a little different from yours. Shelby wasn't shot, he was thrown during a fight with Norman into some kind of compactor and killed that way.

Ethan was never in prison in my game. Did you have to escape prison or something?

Not sure what's up with the train tracks.

in my ending, Shelby was shot by Norman on the edge of a crane, with Madison nearly falling off the edge of the crane. When Shelby got shot, he fell into a giant pool of water.

Ethan got arrested in the hotel. For some reason I chose to climb onto the roof, instead of hitting the ground and running. He stayed in jail for quite a while, long after his son was returned, as his son was present and healthy when he was released. He got arrested... I think before I even opened the final Origami piece. I think it was right after they had sex.
