10 Ambitious Video Games With Immensely Disappointing Stories

10. Heavy Rain

Yes, Heavy Rain was creepy and engaging. Yes, it changed the way people think about video games and their possibilities. However, for such an ambitious title, there are some serious plot holes in what is literally a plot-driven game.

The gamer is supposed to suspect Ethan Mars of being the Origami Killer. He has these terrible blackouts which are mentioned at the beginning of the game, yet forgotten afterwards. They are the sole reason why he's the main suspect in a murder case.

Oh, that, and he wakes up with origami models in his hands for no apparent reason - something that never gets addressed or answered.

The worst moment comes when detective Scott Shelby is revealed as the main antagonist, despite being one of the four 'heroes'. The main problem is that during one of the killings he's show in a totally different place, but later on, when recollecting and informing the audience, he's shown killing the victim. Come on!

Heavy Rain is a great experience and very immersive, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
