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.

In context to the story that all makes enough sense. I'm not saying it is some great god of games, I'm saying it's good. I really liked it. It made me really care about the characters and story, and there were plenty of plot twists to keep me interested. And once I knew how it ended I went back and played again and got totally different results. Not just in the ending, but throughout the game things happened differently.
And most of the game is not quick time events, its like 75 - 25 in favor of tank controls that are admittedly weak, but not horrible. The game is horribly misrepresented and people like you cannot really understand why pretty much anyone who has played it really likes it. That's the media's fault though...
Also, Fahrenheit was pretty bad...
