(Game here is Parasite Eve 2)

It didn’t happen in every game but often enough that it’s noticeable. They’re usually not shot as straight-up titillation, instead going for a tasteful nudity kind of thing and intended to fulfill some kind of storytelling or characterisation purpose

    I enjoy trash so I have a soft spot for Heavy Rain. When it came out, the idea was new enough and it was polished enough that it worked, even though it fails as a narrative, which is the entire point. I’d say you can still play it for a laugh if you fail all the QTEs.

    Now though, we have indie games doing the things his games were supposed to do, except they’re actually good.
