I'm horrible at arts & crafts so it took me the entire install time to make the damn bird.

I agree, it's a clever way to pass the time. Unlike Metal Gear Solid 4, which made me smoke up alongside Snake

So my game froze up for the first time just now. Very annoying since it was at the end of a scene, but thankfully the game autosaves a lot. It would be very annoying to have to re-do everything.

Also, is anybody else having problems with downloading the patch? Every time I try to do it, it stays at 0% until I watch the minutes till completion turn into hours, then I give up.

I'm off from work tomorrow, I can't wait to dig deeper into this game. I can't get enough of it.

I am so stuck.. Not sure how to let you guys know where I am without clicking the spoiler. I will put a spoiler with key words that try not to spoil anything then under it the issue

Spoiler:
Police Station. Later in game. Beating suspect in interrogation room


Spoiler:
Jayden says he will get him out of there and I've searched that whole damn station and i can't figure out how to do so.. At a standstill

Just beat the game. I think I got the worst ending possible.

Spoiler:
I saved the kid but Ethan was killed by the police. Shelby was killed in a fight with Jayden. Madison was fucking arrested. I was so close to doing it right and I panicked under pressure. I guess that is what makes this game so great. Every intention of playing again and doing a lot of things different. This ending depressed the hell out of me.


Regardless, LOVED the game and the entire experience. I didn't want to beat it so fast, but I couldn't put the controller down.

I just finished that

Spoiler:
You have to go in the room with the video camera and you'll get the prompt when you stand next to the table. You'll tell the cop to take a break and he'll tell you ok and the keys to the cuffsare on his desk. After you get the key you go back and take the cuff of Ethan and you'll have to get him a raincoat as a which is on one of the chairs righ up the hall from the interrogation room. Give him the coat and it's pver.


During one of the Ethan chapters where he pulls up to the power plant

Spoiler:
I accidentally left through the door that said coward when I hit the wrong button. I wasn't going to crawl through all that fucking class again so I wonder what effect that will have on the ending.


I just finished up Madison's fun visit to the Doc's house in chapter 4 and decided to call it a night.

Spoiler:
I knew that bastard drugged the drink, but didn't see the fucker coming out and clocking me with the baseball bat

For those that have finished... estimated play time?

Second, I know some people already got their Taxidermist codes. Is that available for download yet? Anyone know what that's all about or how many more episodes there will be?

I have walked by that damn desk 1000 times and have not ever had a prompt come up. Only prompt I see is at the glass and to turn the camera on which I have already done.

It's maybe an 8 hour game on first run through, its been out for 2 days... considering how much people around here seem to game, it isn't that surprising.

I finished Indigo Prophecy is what amounted to one sitting

Yeah, I have had the game for a week now and I'm still not finished. Granted I play maybe an hour or 2 every other night, but I've still logged at least 6 and I'm about 1/2 way. I just can't sit and play anything on the PS3 for more than 2 hours...I can play my Xbox for like 2 days straight, but there is something about the PS3 controller or system...I dunno.

I could've finished last night I think, but forced myself to go to bed at 3:30. You know, since I needed to be up in 4 hours. I think I'm right at the end. I've been unable to put the game down.

Spoiler:
Did you go back in the interrogation room after that and tell the cop to leave you alone with Ethan after you turn the camera off?

Yes I did, but then I left the interrogation room after jayden says "I will find a way to get you out of here" then the cop was back after I left and no option to ask him to leave again.

People on another forum were trying to do that but they said it's not possible. The train doesn't come if you're standing on the tracks

Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)

Madison's intro scene:
Spoiler:
Holy crap. Hands down one of the most intense and scary scenes I've ever played in a video game. I love how it starts off as one intruder, then suddenly there are two, and then I think maybe there are three at the end. Then when you think you're safe and the guy slits your throat...wow.


The scene after Nawman Jaden briefs the cops:
Spoiler:
That standoff with the religious nut is a great, tense scene. I expected him to shoot at any moment while I was trying to talk him down. Then when he puts the gun down and the local cop goes to put the cuffs on him and he pulls out the cross...great moment. I'm glad I got through that scene without anybody getting shot, hurt, or killed.


Just some really incredible scenes, adding up to an amazing experience so far.
