Quantic Dream games seem to occupy this space where review scores are kind of meaningless. They're not games that require any kind of skill or planning, the writing is usually subpar, the plots veer all over the map. Usually all they've really got going for them in a measurable way is graphics. The rest is the combined 'experience' factor, which is what I enjoyed about Heavy Rain even if all the component pieces were a mess. I probably had a B or B + experience with Heavy Rain, even if most of the pieces were firmly C-tier or D-tier.
Which makes this thread fun because Beyond can score terribly and it doesn't make me worry at all about the end game. As long as it's not buggy as hell, I'm in.
