Beyond: Two Souls

[Wooderson]

I've only played Heavy Rain out of all of his games yet I've watched a full walkthrough of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy and have seen a fair bit of Beyond: Two Souls.

Fahrenheit had promise and had some really great moments however the game was so flawed overall and couldn't be looked at seriously.

I loved Heavy Rain personally. Not the best game but had a LOT of amazing moments and ideas. From what i've seen of B:2S, it seems like they've gone 2 steps forward but also 2 steps back.

I liked how they're putting real actors into games, shouldn't happen too often if you ask me but it was an interesting experiment and it worked if you ask me. The storyline has its ups and downs. I was cringing at the party when Jodie was a young teen, so Americanized and unrealistic however I found that in Jodie's rebellious goth/emo phase it was a great representation of someone isolated yet striving to fit in, had me feeling sorry for her. But then it got all rapey and unrealistic again, however the outcomes were somewhat satisfying yet I can't ignore the downsides because of this.

I have no idea why there is less decision making that actually affects the games plot in B:2S compared to Heavy Rain, I loved that in Heavy Rain. TotalBiscuit uploaded a very interesting video on the subject what makes a game. Heavy Rain felt more like a game than B:2S
