10 Most Harrowing Decisions We Made To Progress In Video Games

4. Choosing Your Own Method Of Limb-Loss - Heavy Rain

Before the narrative has you deciding whether or not you want to shoot an innocent father to appease the person who's holding your son captive, the initial real taste of "holy bad accents, this is some gritty stuff" comes with the 'first test': Choosing an implement with which to remove a section of your own finger. Although many, and I do stress MANY people, never fully got on board with Heavy Rain due to its laughably off-putting voice acting and the initial killing off of the Jason child character in a scenario that we're fairly sure a dying old man could survive, personally speaking I loved it all the way through. Of course you could make the case that you were 'free' in a way to just get up and walk out of the room, it's blatantly obvious you need to go through with the 'choose-your-own-torture' scene, picking from either a pair of scissors, a cleaver, a pair of pliers an more to do your dirty work in front of a camera that was linked directly to The Origami Killer. Disgustingly cringeworthy stuff, which I'm sure is the description many use for father Ethan's plaintive "JAY-SON" soundbite.
