Yeah, so Konnie hasn't finished it yet, and has promised to do some tremendously violent and borderline kinky things to me if I spoil it for him, so to save my tenderest parts from unspeakable acts, the following is a 'spoiler line' - read beyond it at your own risk!
================================================== ============================
Right, done.
So I finished it about an hour ago. It's such an awesome game, but I felt so let down by the last chapter or so. It's like they just ran out of time and rushed the most important part - the build up to the ending - they did such a tremendous job of getting a genuinely interesting story going, and after the fight with the Oracle on the rooftop, I was enjoying the game as much as any game I've ever played - it was looking like the beginning of the final third of the game as Lucas hones his powers and has more run-ins with the Oracle and the Purple Clan, suffers a few setbacks as per the standard Hollywood narrative before the big climactic fight... but no, about twenty minutes after that rooftop battle I was watching the credits roll and softly weeping at being robbed of something that could have been far, far more.
Why, Quantic Dream, why?! I swear, if you do that to me with Heavy Rain, I'm going to march over to Paris and... well, I'm going to do to you what Konrad swore he'd do to me if I ruin the ending for him.
Well, the good news is that I can't possibly do it any worse than the developers did. :(
Still, all that aside, it's a bloody awesome game.
