Notch bought Amnesia!

I didn't. However, I've "played" Fahrenheit, so I decided "fuck this, I'm never touching anything David Cage makes again" and watched an LP of Heavy Rain. I don't see how I could be more immersed by having to mash random buttons. Also tank controls, which I can't stand, even though they aren't distinctly bad for, say walking around a house.

Quick-time events never have and never will improve any game ever. This is my opinion and it will never change. Since the only gameplay in Heavy Rain is the quick-time event, I doubt I will ever like it.

You can put shit on anything, even cover it in gold, and it will still be shit.

And yes, the writing is terrible. Consider the following:
I bring my boy home from school.
I ask him some questions. He responds with no emotion, not even with boredom or disgust, as he watches TV.
A few in-game hours pass as I do chores. He does his homework, eats, etc etc.
It is time for him to go to bed. Keep in mind that this is a twelve-year-old boy. He says he needs his teddy bear and to be tucked in, so I bring him his teddy bear and tuck him in.
He says in a light, almost hopeful tone, "Dad, what happened to Jason (his brother who died by ... barely even touching a slow-moving sedan, with you as a meat cushion, no less) wasn't your fault."

That's Twilight Zone bullshit, man.
