Pablo2008jedi Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Was playing this again for a few hours lastnight, OMG is it in dire need to a patch. Froze my PS3 once, and it was jerky while having to concentrait with quicktime events, luckily I got by the "scenes" without failure but it was difficult. Might hold off playing till a patch comes out. It kinda lost its immersion with the sound disappearing and stuterring :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yup, the game is riddled with moments that pull you out of the immersion constantly; whether it be bugs, freezing or the clumsy controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Shake Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Played the taxidermist last night, first time the crazy bitch gets killed when that fat ****** stabs that sexy body int the chest on the bed, the second time it hard froze and I had to reset it from the console. I said to hell with it, i figure it's short and the same ending is going to happen anyway. Say I went on to my next game, Twilight Princess on the Wii. Pretty decent game, although I miss the beauty of Heavy Rain's graphics and could only dream of TP looking like this, especially at "twilight" and the rain.

Pablo2008jedi Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Any word on a new patch yet, mine is horrendeous to play at points :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Really surprising me that people are saying its horrendous to play from bugs, I think I had one freeze and 1 loss of sound just beforehand. Whilst these really aren't acceptable in games I never felt it was game breaking like some people are making out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo2008jedi Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It's quite strange, just sat here watching the wife play for a couple of hours. Where it frooze and was very stutery for me at one scene it was perfectly fine for her. May be over heating? Or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I think it just depends on either the scenes or specific hardware setups. If you follow the official HR forums at playstation.com you will see the problems found. Some are much worse than others. It's odd. Mine would be considered bad. Mine would freeze sometimes when a trophy pop up was delayed into the loading screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo2008jedi Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The thing was it was the same hardware, with exception of the controller. The wife uses the origonal SIXAXIS one, I use a dualshock 3. Other than that everything was the same. I avoid the official forums, as some topic titles where actually spoilers!!! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that everything was the same. I avoid the official forums, as some topic titles where actually spoilers!!! :angry: By hardware setup, I meant different software on each person's PS3. Some people were trying to narrow it down to certain game saves from other software titles, to game installs, to multiple users with duplicated save files. They were trying to run the whole gamut and narrow it down. I have NO idea what is causing the issues. My problems occurred before the 260mb patch and after. Sony normally seems to be pretty responsive to fixing issues like this. I don't know why this one has gone unanswered. I wouldn't let it deter me from playing or enjoying the game though. The game is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo2008jedi Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah could be anything, it was the same PS3, just a different user account. The wife doesn't use the PS3 much, so she has very little installed. I'd find it hard to beleive its caused by other software, surely save files/game files are independant from each other? Anyway, now I seen it was OK for her, I might continue to play the game :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted March 8, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted March 8, 2010 Luckily I only got one freeze during the whole game, but for saying they had officially acknowlegded the issues they are taking their time in fixing them. The game saves often but it's still annoying and breaks immersion if you're hit badly on your playthrough. Still have no idea what that patch was for, I thought it might be DLC, but the DLC for The Taxidermist has to be downloaded separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Payne_UK Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I played and finished this the other day. Very good and a nice change of pace from the normal shooter type games. Hope more games like this appear on all platforms. Perhaps Alan Wake will do what Heavy Rain has done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max_Payne_UK Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I thought the story was ok (good enough for them to be making a film) but it could have been better. Still, the first of many I hope. With all the time invested in Alan Wake I'm hopeful that the story will be good along with the gameplay mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massiveterra Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I would say the story is equal to a bad made-for-tv movie, straight to dvd or straight to netflix instant, or bad Law & Order SVU story the voice acting made it even worse LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Payne_UK Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The children's voices were not great but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Lots of 'on the edge of your seat' moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
