Rapture came too early, it needed to come to VR, (a transition it would make without any gameplay changes whatsoever) where there is demand for games that ask you only to see and feel, and not to run around. Now, seven years later, everyone still talks about Edith Finch, and nobody talks about Rapture, a game that has so much more to say, and says it with so much more truth, but which demanded stupid sacrifices of whoever sat behind the screen, so too few people ever saw it marked the end of Director-Composer (and what a combination) Jessica Curry’s work with the company, and with video games in general. Who are missing a story of universal proportions, told by one of the greatest cast of actors in a game, accompanied by a gut wrenching soundtrack that deserves its own seperate post. Rapture is a wholly unique and such a uniquely powerful story, whose heights reach so high, whose sadness is so real and whose unbelievably large cast of characters is so well realized, and their stories brought to such beautiful, sad, profound endings how stupid, how awful it was of TheChineseRoom to make the first hour so slow, and to insist so strongly on the absence of a ‘run’ button, that they knew they would turn away any and all but the most patient gamers. It prevented audiences from experiencing what is undeniably one of the most impressive and beautiful digital games… since games existed. r/CoOpGaming - A community for co-op gamingĮvery now and again I just stop and consider how much of a tragedy it is that Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture has such a slow and relatively weak opening hour. r/xboxone - Xbox-specific subreddit for general Xbox news and discussion r/playstation, /r/PS4 & /r/PS5 - PlayStation-specific subreddits for general PlayStation news and discussion r/pcgaming - PC gaming-specific subreddit for general PC gaming news, discussion and gaming tech support r/nintendo - Nintendo-specific subreddit for general Nintendo news and discussion r/shouldibuythisgame - Find out what's worth getting. r/gamingsuggestions - Go here to help you find your next game to play r/gaming4gamers - Discussion, bar the Hivemind Top-level comments must be at least 100 characters in length.Accounts must be at least one month old.External Links must follow these guidelines No topics that belong in other subreddits This subreddit shouldn't be used for advice of any kind.
