Beyond: Two Souls

Why is everyone hating this game? I only played the demo and I think it was interesting, I was actually thinking of buying it, but it got a lot of bad reviews saying that the story sucked, the controls were repeatitive and the acting was meh.
Since everyone compared it to heavy rain, and how it was a lot better than Beyond I decided to buy Heavy Rain since now it is crazy cheap and I loved the game.
How could they screw up something they did before using better graphics and better actors?????

Well, see, the problem with Beyond is that they clearly wanted to make a movie but ended up doing a game. I haven't played it myself but I've seen enough to tell that they took away everything that made Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain great, meaning decisions that could alter the whole story. Beyond has none of that and whatever you choose, the game eventually decides to go the way it wants to. It's almost impossible to die, too, as even if you (and I literally saw this with my own two eyes) put down the controller during a fight scene the game just plays itself and clears it for you, only with less QTEs hit. I loved the dread of losing a character in Heavy Rain and it was surprisingly easy to get yourself killed in Fahrenheit but this "game" doesn't even have that. I'm sure I'd presonally love the story, Quantic Dream makes great stories, and I'm sure I'll buy Beyond eventually used when it drops to around 15€ but I could hardly call it a game. It's a slightly interactive movie.
