Well I found a way to play the game without installing the update. I simply press Cancel, and the game continues.
However now, every five minutes, the game stops to tell me about the update, and if I accidentally hit X I am brought out of the game, start the download, have to cancel it, enter game again, and load the game again. Only to get yet another question if I want to download it, and yet again....and again....
Not only do you need to not fail any of the events, but at the same time you must somehow figure out the pattern that causes the least damage. So go somewhere online to get the correct pattern, then perform it flawlessly, I think it took me 4-5 times even after I knew the pattern.

Maybe I'll try that tomorrow, to feel good about myself when I inevitably do it flawlessly on the first try and also get voted emperor of the universe.
I started playing Heavy Rain today after almost 4 years and I'm still impressed how amazing this game is.
I'm playing the DLC "The Taxidermist" before I begin the main game. Man, I forgot how creepy it is when Madison is inside that crazy guy's house. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Fun fact: Heavy Rain was originally planned by the developer to be a 360 exclusive for Kinect but Microsoft refused. The company believed a game with the kind of story it has wouldn't sell.
The reports are that this game is in discussions to be adapted into a movie, but is in Development Hell.
In my honest opinion, this game is so complex and so deep that it CANNOT be adapted into a feature length film. I mean, the entire basis of Heavy Rain is to "choose your own adventure" and make different choices that affect the outcome of the game. You can never play it the same way twice and that's the genius of the game, if you ask me.
