We got a new game here for the WSGF community. This is here to encourage cooperative discussion and give us another way to engage our passions.
Someone comes on, posts a video game card and a comparison card. A challenger approaches, posts another video game card, and a discussion ensues. All users are invited to vote in the poll to be posted and engage in the discussion at large. Giving rep is also encouraged here.
Zencyde already started with challenging Which game is more visually beautiful, Myst or ? to which Ibrin replied (and I think lost) with Prince of Persia.
So my challenge is:
Which of these games is more tragic?
Heavy Rain
-OR-

I'm going to launch this discussion by saying that you could take the meaning of tragic in two ways. I took it as a very sad story, which I'll explain, but you could also see it as tragic, as in a failure of a game. I'd challenge someone to stick with the sad story theme, but I can see either may be acceptable.
Heavy Rain is very much a story game which people either liked or hate. My brother and I found it to be very powerful and I was very addicted. In the game, the main character's kid dies in a tragic accident, and the story is about piecing together his life after all the mess that follows, including a relationship breakdown. For me, this game is very sad because I have a kid and the thought of the situation would be heartbreaking for me, but for someone without kids, it perhaps may not be the same. The game was both tragic and intriguing at the same time.
So tell me, what game is more tragic?
