12-04-14 Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City [GC]

This is meant to be a comment, not a review, it is my personal opinion and you are free to disagree, this is about the game mechanics and game play. I will not really discuss much about the story so dont expect spoilers here but can't say the same for the comments below.

I dont know what to feel about this game so far, I've just finished the first mission and it doesn't really feel like the trailer at all, don't get me wrong, this is the kind of game play I expected, but still it feels really loose and the story so far seems forced, the interactive cutscenes or button sequences feel random and the butons you are suppose to press are difficult to see at times, I know it is unfair to judge the game only by the first mission, the thing is that further game play is required in order to analice with more detail and with so many other games I got in queue, this one don't really invite me to keep on playing it at the moment. I'm in love with the concept, and I hope I can get more time to play it more deeply.

One thing I will complain about this game right now, and I don't think I got a glich or something, is that the AI seems... off. The enemies dont really respond to the fact you are standing right next to them and focus their task to shoot people across the room, also with my teammates, I got to a point in which all of them where supposed to be in the same room with me in order to open a door, even though there where no threats behind, they waited in the previous room for only God knows what, I had to literally push them into the room. Need to try this online with real people.

12-04-14 Heavy Rain [GC]

This is going to be my very first comment of a game in this blog, I decided that there is a lot to talk about games, good and bad stuff and as I am researching for for Cut Scenes in videogames this game/Interactive-movie seems like a good place to start. No worries the main post is not meant to have any game spoilers, although I can't say the same for the comments below, so read this comment with a peace of mind but beware of the comments (if any). This is my personal opinion only and I'm not trying my best here, it is just a short description of my experience with this game and remember this is a COMMENT not a review.

I've just finish the game last night, and I can tell you, the story is amazing, the main twist by the end of the game is something you wouldn't really expect. I know that there are different endings to this game so after finishing it, with all my characters alive (not really a spoiler, but in this game your character can die and the story changes) I decided to google what are the different endings and was more out there. And come across the heavy rain wikia that has a lot more info.

The whole way you play the game is really easy to catch, the game mechanics are simple, and as the game progresses, you become more and more use to it, the problem is that at times the player has the opportunity to interact with the environment in more ways than necessary,  there are some points in which the iconography don't help you, and end up doing something you didn't mean to.

Definitely a game worth trying, I played the normal controller version because at times the controllers on the PSMove seemed forced, but in any case, expect to move the controller... a lot!
