I couldn't really get into Heavy Rain. There wasn't much game to it and the interactive parts were fairly simplistic. :gator: However, I loved The Walking Dead. I liked the art style and the plot was very emotional with a variety of game-impacting choices.
If it's a game like Walking Dead or some kind of visual novel, that's fine. I know what I'm getting into. There's value in interactive-movie games.
If I buy an RPG, I want gameplay. If it turns out surprise, 90% of the game is clicking through dialog, I become sad.
Or, RPGs should do it like Lost Odyssey. The dream sequences were 100% optional, added bonus material that fleshed out the characters but weren't essential to the main plot. I watched all of the sequences anyways because they were so well done.

I don't like buying games piecemeal, but I will definitely get this once all of the episodes are released in a combined format. :albatoss:Quote:
