Confusing Things in Heavy Rain #2 (Spoilers)

Inconsistencies

Liking Shaun More

Since the entire premise of the game is saving Ethan’s son Shaun from being the killer’s latest victim (or don’t and he dies) I felt more attached to Shaun as we got to know him better. With Jason, there was simply not enough time to become fully invested and as emotional as the accident scene was, I feel that if it had happened a little later player’s would have felt more guilt rather than surprise.

Throwing chickens

Suspect throws chickens at Norman Jayden - how often is there livestock in the supermarket?

Jason’s death

When Jason darts across the road he is hit by a slow moving car. I get that he’s a 10-year-old boy and the impact is more severe, but I expected nothing more than a fracture. Also Ethan jumps across and shields Jason! The result? Jason dies and Ethan is in a coma. This is very shocking and sad when you play, but after a while you can’t help but wonder. How did Jason die instantly?

vRAM - 4 GB vs 2 GB

Get much for an extra $50? Take the NVidia GTX 960, for example. This mid-range card offers 2 GB and 4 GB versions, respectively -- at about a $50 discrepancy between the two cards. That being what the cost of a whole new game, for some, this makes the world of difference. GTA V A memory-hungry game to the fullest; where the more vRAM, the better. That is, the 970's 3.5 GB is just about the bare minimum, to run this game at max, 60 FPS. The 960's 4 GB are not fully taken advantage of on the lower GM206 Maxwell architecture. Therefore any additional vRAM here would be best for a more constant frame rate, with less dips and stutters between lowest and highest framerate. While this can be easily rectified with vSync enabled - you do get about 3-5 FPS higher on the four GB model of the GTX 960. You can enable far more advanced graphics options in GTA V with 4 or more GB of vRAM - namely ancillary settings like higher population density, depth of view,

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted GPUs.
