Avoid Heavy Rain Trophy Lists

This article was written by: Mike Tomasson

Love trophies but hate spoilers? Then you are in a little bit of a predicament. Stay away from anything that claims to reveal the list of trophies for Heavy Rain – it could potentially ruin the experience for you. All, except four, of the trophies are story related and are hidden for a good reason. Reading the trophy list could help you decide which paths to take in the game, and although their are many different paths to take, knowing them would take the magic from the moments.

There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing that bleep sound and seeing that hard earned and well deserved trophy pop up in the corner of the screen. Okay, so maybe there are a lot of things that you find to be more rewarding, but taking the surprise out of the prize is no fun at all.

Truth be told, Heavy Rain is the sort of game that would actually do fine without trophies. It’s an interactive drama, so to speak, that’s all about emotions and response — dealing with situations as they come at you is the main aspect of the gameplay. Knowing the outcome of these situations cheapens the experience. So, I suggest you turn a blind eye to all articles that even hint at the trophy list.

Mike Tomasson

Mike Tomasson, more commonly known as the FiLTHY ESKiMO, likes to write his biographical information in third person, he believes it makes him seem more important and a heck of a lot cooler. This FiLTHY ESKiMO started gaming when he was only 6 years old and, unlike all you modern gamers, he did not have the luxuries of a powerful console that could potentially launch a nuke -- no, no, no, no. FiLTHY ESKiMO experienced gaming in it´s purest form: Frogger on the Comador 64. Luckily enough the Nintendo Entertainment System was launched and Mike´s (ESKiMO) life changed, for good. Okay, so maybe ESKiMO isn´t telling the entire truth. Yes, Frogger was the first game he played, and yes, the Nintendo Entertainment System was the first console he everowned, but this was not when his life changed. It was the first time he played Leisure Suit Larry 3. Wow, talk about revolutionary. This is when his gaming addiction became serious: ever since then Mike has been searching for that game, that game that would once again blow his mind, as he blew his lo... Okay, on a serious note. Been in the gaming industry for many donkey years. Worked the press in Australia and then moved to Iceland, I amnow working the press here. I´m a passionate gamer. I tend to lose my cool when playing competitive online games. I never screw up, if I die someone is either cheating or the server is laggy (it´s true).

Thanks for the warning! I am a bit of a trophy whore, but I will absolutely avoid looking a list if it will take away from the experience. I may be a whore, but I still have standards!

  Whores have standards?! You amuse me, Jonathan.
  
  At any rate, I’m at the point in my gaming career that achievements and trophies mean next to nothing to me because of the lack of variety in them.
  
  I’m back to where I used to be: playing the games for the fun of it. And it feels great.
