About to replay Heavy Rain again and it got me thinking. Ethan's blackouts just get straight up dropped from the story half way through, we never do find out what happened during those missing chunks of time, some of them last several hours.
Even though it is a fairly obvious red herring to make us think Ethan is the killer, it still bugs the hell out of me that a major plot thread would be so casually discarded like that without mention ever again that deep into the story. There are any number of ways that Quantic Dream could have addressed this while still keeping the overall plot intact and still keeping Ethan as the main protagonist and Scott as the killer. But the fact that they didn't and left such a huge plot hole in the final version of the story has always bugged me.
I want to hear about more plot holes in games, so we can discuss them. So drop them in this thread here, ERA.
