FUCKING ASSHOLE!

FUCKING ASSHOLE!

NAWMIN JAYDN

JASOOOOOOOOON

SHAUN!

Weird how I can't stand cutscenes in games but I like this game

it's Cage's best game and I'll die on this hill

wtf was his problem

Why was Blake so aggro?

He didn't like a pretty boy fed stepping on his toes

We gotta find the orygammy killah

DETECTIVE BLAYK CAHTAH YOU ARE AN UNBALANCED PSYCHAPATHIC ASSHAUL

The ending where he used ARI and Jayden stands ominously was pretty cool

It could be, low fucking bar as that is, but the mindbogglingly retarded twist and justification for the origami killer drags it down. David Cage can never resist presenting a vaguely interesting premise that is then fumbled in increasingly clumsy and stupid ways until it ends in a manner so bafflingly stupid and ridiculous that it retroactively turns the game into a pile of shit. The man is a pure ideas guy, but he can't write for shit. Characters are cartoonish, events transpire for narrative convenience rather than following naturally, the plot is rife with holes, and he keeps introducing just the absolute dumbest twists for no reason.

I think Detroit is "better" in that it's a more competently told story, but you can tell someone was holding Cage's leash a bit on that one so it lacks the unhinged qualities of his other games. So Heavy Rain I agree is the most fun one because it has the best balance of grounded and crazy.

in that it's a more competently told story

But is it really?

Yes?

*cue credits*

SHAAAWWN!!

Obese, middle aged man with asthma is able to John Wick everyone who gives him trouble

Really?

BLAKE!....WHADDYADUOIN!?

He's overweight but far from obese.

Child murder empowers you, didn't you know?

I love how you can literally fail every QTE in the house he storms to save that woman and he gets riddled with like a dozen bullet holes for the rest of the scenes. All because he cannot die due to obvious reasons.

would've been hilarious if he was faking it

Genuinely what was the point of this whole plot line? Scott just felt like destroying this mob family for shits and giggles?

I'm the orgarmy killa

Go out of his way to prove his "innocence"

I do that because…I’m bored, mister Shelby

Everything to do with Shelby doesn't exist for any sensible or narrative reasons, but purely to trick the player, for the sake of a twist that still makes absolutely no fucking sense. That's it. Stop thinking about Shelby's plot line in terms of narrative purpose, because that's not even remotely what it was written for. The point is exclusively to trick (You) into thinking someone other than one of the five named characters could be the killer.

His actions and interactions with others would never lead anyone to even suspect him as the Origami Killer.

Kojima replaces David Hayter because "he can't do motion capture"

Cage forces his French motion capture artist to voice his character in French and in a fake Boston and/or New York accent in English

Realistically speaking, what would you do in this situation?

The problem is that this entire thing falls the fuck apart once you start looking at it within the context and logic of the game. For whose sake is he doing this? To trick himself?

The only thing that makes sense is him visiting the families to collect the evidence for disposal

Yes, that is indeed the one aspect that makes a modicum of sense. But it still doesn't explain why he bothers hanging out with Laura at all, or fucks around with random gangsters.

For some reason Scott thought it was a good idea to fall in love with Lauren. (After he killed her fucking son)

That gay

Remember when Ethan and Shelby were supposed to have formed a psychic connection with each other because Ethan got hit by that car?

Remember how each character was gonna get their own dlc episode until Cage decided getting Heavy Rain to work on ps move was more important?

Yes, I do remember that gaping plot hole that is still in the game where Ethan has random blackouts that have him waking up miles away with origami in his hands.

He never expected to see her again, man. He sends her off on a train and says "I'll tell you the truth when this is all over!" but in the epilogue is her having to find out on her own that he was lying to the families and collecting the evidence he left behind before not turning up any results.

It's not a "plot hole" if the whole point of it being there is to intentionally confuse the player with red herrings.

Sorry, so it's just shitty writing then, my bad.

In the story as a whole it was just a big red herring.

In universe, I see it as Scott just having a grudge against a copycat killer.

CUNT

GET RID OF THIS CLOWN

LISTEN HERE CINDERFELLA

*smacks lips*
EY
CRACKAH

SHIT, DON'T JUST STAND THERE - HE'S GONNA GET AWAY

Sucks they never finished all the planned DLCs for each character. Madisons was pretty great.
