I just played this game for an hour and a half (the first hour and a half) before going to bed and while going through the motions of brushing my teeth and washing my face, I felt weirdly self-conscious, for lack of a better term. Anyone else get the odd moment of dissonance between thinking about doing something and doing it after playing this game?
Heavy Rain
Game » consists of 12 releases. Released Jan 25, 2010
An interactive thriller from the studio behind Indigo Prophecy, sporting a dark storyline involving the investigation of a mysterious serial killer.
Anyone Else Feel Weirdly Self-Conscious?
Haha, no. I can imagine how odd one could feel though trying to do common tasks and forgetting how to do them without their PS3 controller.
No but i got really tense during some of Ethan's trials.....
the exact same thing happened to me while playing,i took a little break and went to the fridge and while opening and shutting it i couldnt stop thinking of controller motions...but that sort of thing happens,after playing assassins creed 2 for 5hours straight,when i went outside ,the buildings and ledges started looking like obstacles that have been put there,to climb.
I've been getting this for years regardless of a specific game. It's strange but it hasn't gotten in my way yet.
What I found funny was how meticulous I was with my character's morning routine, I made sure to do everything, and do it right. Whilst in real life my morning routine is me waking up late, franticly attempting to do all that shit, and giving up halfway through, running out the door gargling mouthwash.

pretty much the entire day after I first played Heavy Rain, I imagined commands popping up near me whenever I did something. It was pretty weird.

I have too, but it's never been quite so pronounced as with Heavy Rain, probably since most games don't have you go through a "normal" routine.

I actually had a similiar phase when I finished playing Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy. That is, until the shit got real in the second half...
