The killer is really obvious when you first play as him if you think about it for about 5 seconds.

Mark your damn spoilers.

Where's the spoiler?

Yeah but you're the fucking knobber that suggested it was a playable character

I had it spoiled for me on day one on the PS3 board and never played it because of it

Right I have now deleted that post and will re post the edited version.

It has some major problems.

Terrible voice acting.
Press X to Jason.
How the fuck Jason died is beyond me when the car braked and Ethan took the entire force of the hit.
The killer is really obvious when they are first introduced if you think about it for about 5 seconds.
Madison is literally just there to be fan service and nothing else.
That sex scene is terrible but then so were the ones in Indigo Prophey/Farenheit.


Sorry for any offence caused.

Uhh, no, it's actually very good.

Press X to Jason.

It's literally like a fucking 30 second scene that you do this in. This is not that big of a deal. It's also not mandatory as you can complete that scene without spamming X. It was just put in there for immersion purposes.

How the fuck Jason died is beyond me when the car braked and Ethan took the entire force of the hit.

Jason is very young and fragile. He's not as sturdy as an adult. Additionally, Ethan was put into a fucking coma from the result of the collision. The car braked but was obviously going very fast when it started breaking and couldn't slow down enough.

The killer is really obvious

No, the killer is not really obvious. As a matter of fact, one of the major complaints with the game was how the reveal was full of plot holes.

Madison is literally just there to be fan service and nothing else.

This is true, but it's par for the course for a David Cage game.

That sex scene is terrible but then so were the ones in Indigo Prophey/Farenheit.

You can skip the sex scene.

Everything about the scene was horrible even if you didn't press X. This kid is like 12 or something and he wonders off. After the player meets up with him in place of yelling at him for walking off you are forced to get the kid a balloon. The kid wonders off once more, the game forces you to rummage around to find money to pay for it even after you notice the kid is gone. Then the kid gets outside for what to look at a TV screen.

The kid is literally mentally disabled, dude.

Yes, he did something stupid. That's the point. There are issues with the game but that's not one of them.

If this true , that makes the father so much worse. He should not have gotten the other kid unsupervised.

The car is going very slowly if you actually watch the scene and kids are not as fragile as you seem to think they are. It didn't hit Ethan enough to kill him or Jason and should never have put Ethan anywhere near a coma. And yes the voice acting is bad did you listen to any of the kids? Or that woman with Shelby? @ChromaticAngel


Wait when is it said that the kid is mentally disabled? Or does the terrible voice acting just make it seem that way?

A weak one. Being easily distracted doesn't always mean that they are special-needs.

Games have gotten better at what it does now but there was nothing really like it at the time. It felt (and still feels like) playing through a direct to DVD thriller. I mean that as a good thing. It's just a fun ride.

I will give it major props in one area though. To this day no other narrative game I can think of has such a diverse variety of possible endings.

the only real complaint IMO is the story pushes you to draw one conclusion, then pivots without actually tying off that conclusion and explaining why it's wrong. it's a gaping plot hole that they never bother to resolve.

Apparently stuff that explained that got deleted and then they were gonna release it as DLC but they scrapped it to work on the Move edition of the game lol.

I've never played Nier Automata but SotN is hard for any game to stack up to. Easily a top 5 game of all time in my book.

I also own Heavy Rain. Probably for over a year now and still haven't played it.

I don't remember Heavy Rain getting this much flack when it first game out. I thought it was a great game the first time I played it. Yes there were some plot holes but they didn't detract from the experience.

When you get to the third challenge let us know how that goes for you.
