<font color=goldenrod>I have an older 360. Better not give me any issues. :mad:
Loving the game so far. Hella addicting. I'm pretty bad at reading people but it hasn't affected the outcomes to this point. Different paths can be taken in each case so there's a ton of replayability.</font> |
Mines a 2008 and I'm about an hour and a half into it. Awesome so far

Don't trust Ask the Community when it comes to interrigations. They've made me pick the wrong one every time. :mad:

Rockstar takes back their statement of blaming or co-blaming the newest PSN update after numerous complaints involving the Xbox 360 version sort of hurt the claim of the game not causing the problem.
Some reports are saying Sony might have forced Rockstar to re-issue their statement due to Sony not wanting more bad publicity and once it was found out Xbox 360 were also suffering the same issue at around the same rate. They are currently working on solving the problem with an update but it still has been shown to be more of a problem with older PS3/Xbox 360 models than the Slims or Elites. Current solution for Xbox 360 owners is to clear the cache to see if it helps to solve thr problem until the patch is ready. http://kotaku.com/5803654/rockstar-n...s3-overheating http://kotaku.com/5803461/is-la-noir...g-up-xbox-360s |
<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit, didn't expect Disc 1 to be finished that quickly. Makes me feel like I'm already 1/3 of the way through the game.</font> :(

Stupid question.
Is there some sort of clock in this game? If so, how do I know what time it is? Going back to do a few street cases and they're time sensitive. |

Bah, had my first lock up with this tonight, don't know if it was a heating problem or not since I had only been playing for an hour and was playing for 4 straight the other day with no problems.

Just picked it up. Had no idea the pre-order Badge Pursuit challenge schtick meant getting some film negatives in a little pouch with some locations on. Pretty swish. PS Store needs to get back online already for the bonus cases though. See you in a week or so.
|
Starting to feel compelled to buy the game with all the positive reaction surrounding it but I've DNF out soon so I'll have to wait.
|
only about half hour in but not a fan of how 'linear' it seems, seems like there's only one right way/one right answer etc, no chance to work around mistakes you make in interviews, interrogations etc. Could be wrong, only just about to start what I assume will be my first 'proper' case
|
so is it any good? cba reading the first page.

:rofl: The Creative Director for Far Cry 2 tried to trash the game on Twitter even though he only played 1 hour of the game.
Quote:
So far just him and the creator or producer for Heavy Rain have trashed the game. Heavy Rain creator/producer tried to trash it saying the facial and gameplay style was inferior to Heavy Rain even though Rockstar's uses a better engine. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/8...-for-la-noire/ |

I like that it's linear though, there's no way in hell they could have done motile endings for everything and have this brilliant a narrative unless it came on 2 blu-rays and made 360 owners cry. And yes Jon lad, it's fantastic. |
So does this game have online multiplayer mode or what?

Enjoy your wait, cheapskates. I am currently enjoying this ATM

Ass to mouth?

One thing I haven't noticed anyone mentioning is how you can just take your time with each case (so you never feel rushed to solve any of them) and free roam to unlock new vehicles, find golden film reels and discover landmarks. Granted, that's not a lot of "misc." activity, but '47 L.A. in the game is fucking massive. :y:
|
Hated the last case, but it was all worth it. Amazing ending that I never seen coming.
Oh, and as a heads up, there's a pretty substantial scene after the credits. |
Yeah, I just finished the Silk Stockings case and then drove about trying to find a few Badges...I managed to find one, so far. lol
Very awesome game so far. My last case I got an "Unbecoming"...I think it's my 2nd one...What happens when you get 3? anyone know? |

Just got to disc 3. 2nd Vice Case.

I loved this game when I was first playing it, but lately it's almost daring me to like it. The biggest, most glaring flaw in this game comes with the interrogations. The logic used is so convoluted, it's more wondering how the game is going to connect the dots rather than reading a lie.
In one question, I asked a guy if anyone had any reason to kill his wife. He said no. Seemed pretty straight, so I chose Truth. I was wrong. Okay, I didn't read him right. So I try it again and go with Doubt, since I have no proof that his wife wasn't cool. And again I'm wrong. So finally I pick lie, and in my accusation I bring up how she was strangled with rope I had found in his house. How could I guess the questioning would go from whether or not she was a cool chick to "I found rope"? This is just one example; this kind of thing happens alot. I still play it, though. I'm trying really hard to like it, despite the glaring flaws. |
the rope isn't a reason why though, that's just a reason to suspect that he did it.
that said i did get really pissed off at times when i was all YOURE A LYING LIAR, YOU LIAR and backed it up with evidence which seemed to make perfect sense only for it to be all "nah u should have said doubt lad" |
oh yeah i bought it saturday night and completed it last night :$ gutted that you can't play on after the ending, i didn't know that. now i'm gonna have to run through the bastard game again.
|
Each desk (at least I think each desk) has a free roam mode. Just load that
|
Working my way though Vice at the moment and loving it. Just done the Naked City case that came as an extra and it was pretty decent, although some of the in car conversations are obviously done by other actors and just sounded wrong.

Also, on an ep. of AOTS last week they had a game break segment with Adam Sessler from X-Play...one thing he suggested was to always go back and replay each case. If you did well the first time, and got let's say, 4 or 5 stars, see what happens when you choose the wrong option or miss a key piece of evidence or cause massive amounts of damage to the city (which affects your duty fitness rating at the end of each case). Those are the kind of things where you'll have to look if you want replay value. |
Take-Two (Rockstar's parent company) views L.A. Noire as worthy of franchise or series status. They didn't say how high of a status the series would be but its assumed to be lower than their premiere franchise of GTA but did mention it being equal to Red Dead Redemption.
Rockstar has already said in the past they want to expand the game with more cases as DLC and mentioned they loved working on the game due to it being a bit different than most Rockstar games. Quote:

Yeah I'm already thinking about the sequel. If not a direct sequel then maybe one set in New York. Or modern times?
|
Got this from ASDA last night for £30 on my brother-in-laws recommendation.
I've only played the tutorial cases so far but I like what I see. I can see myself enjoying it a lot. The one thing I'm not so sure about is the clue hunting. The pad rumbling and the sound effect takes some of the searching out of it. Maybe the music getting louder the closer you got to a clue would work better. I've not used it enough to form a definite opinion, though. I was pleased to see destructible enviroments when I SPOILER: show |

I've got it turned on for my first run through but when I repeat the cases I'll have it turned off. |

Just finished the Homicide desk. Damn that last case was fun.
I wish the Playstation Store was up and running. I wanna play the Consul's Car and Naked City cases. |
Liking the game so far now that I've played beyond the training cases.
Got two odd glitches though. One of Phelps lines in a cutscene was missing. He moved his mouth and nothing came out. The other was Phelps randomly dying when I was chasing a couple thugs and I was about to climb down a ladder. |
Only 6 cases in, but this game is fantastic. The facial animation is stunning. Stupid PSN being down preventing me from downloading the dlc it came with.
|
Haven't really been too blown away with the story/got caught up with it but just finished the last Homicide is outstanding and everything's suddenly picked up.

Any of you guys been crazy enough to go after the Public Menace achievement/trophy? That's looking like the last one I go for.

Shouldn't be too hard to do, just drive up and down sidewalks and run into other cars for 45 minutes.

<font color=goldenrod>I'm not sure I got any 5 star cases so far. I'm usually in the 3-4 range since I suck at questioning.
Just wrapped up Vice. SPOILER: show |
Working though Arson at the moment, pretty horrific stuff.

Went through and 5 starred those few cases I missed. Can't believe it didn't count towards my rank. How am I suppose to hit 20 if you only get one run through story.

DLC for the game is out. You can buy them all seperately or as an 800MSP package.
There is also a free DLC gun called the Chicago Piano. It's a tommy gun and you get it by going to the trunk of your police car during a fire fight and pressing A. It seems really powerful. Kills enemies instantly, regardless of where you hit them, it seems. |
The 800MSP pack also includes all future DLC.
|
Yeah wasn't huge on the ending either really.
SPOILER: show Absolutely loved the rest of the game though. Way more satisfying than GTAIV imo and more engaging than RDR. |

100% this last night. Car hunting is a bitch.

Yahtzee just ruined the final sequence of the game for me in this weeks Zero Punctuation and on his Twitter page.
It wasn't even for any real reason. He just ends the episode by basically saying "Btw, the game ends with X happening". Anyone that wants to play the game unspoiled should avoid both those things until they're done. |
Finished the game late last night. Yahtzee didn't spoil it as much as I had thought.
As for the ending: SPOILER: show |
Watched my bro play this for a while. Impressive game.

Don't really care about the DLC suits. I'll probably just download the cases I don't have right now, and will probably be done with this completely and trade it in before the July 17th DLC case comes out.
|
<font color=goldenrod>Finished the game.
SPOILER: show Still have a ton of cars and landmarks to find, but I don't care so much about that. I DO want to replay though to see if I can collect all of the papers. I only found like 10 or 11 of them and I have no idea where I missed.</font> |
No need to play through the whole game again. Go to the case selection from the main menu. Each case with a paper to find has a paper symbol next to it. Just play those cases and keep and eye out for each paper.

<font color=goldenrod>Rusty was easily the best partner. The fact that you're with him the longest doesn't hurt either.
Biggs' character development was nice but it's still only a short while that you're with him. Earle was a huge douche so it was hard to like him. And Bekowski you barely spend any time with.</font> |

Visually, this game is amazing. I don't think anyone would say otherwise. There are a few pop-in moments and the draw distance isn't as big as I thought it would be but whatever, it's still "visually stunning".
Nothing innovative though as far as gameplay was concerned. It felt like I could be playing the same game on an old apple computer with 8-bit graphics and just have two frames of someone with shifty eyes if they're lying or something. And a giant 8-bit "thing" to walk over as a clue. And hell, selectable text where the choices pop up in 8-bit windows would have been an improvement over the shoot-in-the-dark truth/doubt/lie system where you never know what you're going to get or even how you're going to respond. I dunno. It felt like a pig in make-up. Beautifully done, technology advancing, historically accurate, make-up though. |
|
Beat it. Found all the papers. Guess if there's a sequel it will revolve either around Kelso or a different story alltogether.
|
You have to sit through all the credits at the end and can't skip them that's pretty annoying.

Yeah, I'll still want to get through it. I already had some other details given away for me before this so I'm wondering how much I dopn't already know.
I'll need to finish it to move on to Undead Nightmare anyway. |
