LA Noire[views:5903][posts:20]______________________________ [May 17,2011 9:15am - ark ""] Red Dead Redemption was criminally good...goddammit Rockstar, stop making good games. LA Noire looks too good to pass up but I'm going to hold off until it's cheap. |
| _______________________________ [May 17,2011 9:50am - timma ""] Meh. Rockstar sandbox games = farts in the wind |
| _______________________________ [May 17,2011 10:29am - ark ""] apparently this game is NOT sandbox like GTA and you don't run over hookers and all that. |
| ____________________________________________ [May 17,2011 10:32am - FuckIsMySignature ""] fuck that. only unlimited random violence is real. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 11:56pm - the_reverend ""] $27 just put it in. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 2,2011 9:06am - pablo ""] heard it's a decent game but there's way too many cut scenes so you just watch half the game |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 2,2011 9:27am - the_reverend ""] I was hoping that was just the beginning. It is way way way dark. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 15,2011 2:54pm - arktouros ""] i got it cheap so now i will complain about it yet still finish it. PROS - faithful reproduction of 40's LA, film noir presentation - the most realistic faces yet in a game, great characters and voice acting go with it - crime scene investigating/cluefinding is hard to beat - good interrogation branching system - story keeps you playing, good missions CONS - character movement control is abysmal (i know the guy isn't mario, but at least mario can turn around) - why do they insist on having a seperate trigger to make you run? it's an analog stick, fucking use it. i could be drinking my beer instead of needing 2 hands to move. - cover system could use a lot of work, mostly because turning around and moving generally sucks - lame side missions - chases and shootouts can get boring - aside from finding cars and points of interest, the city is pretty empty even compared to 2008 GTA - unreadable map. yeah it's accurate, but you can't even find the tiny white arrow that represents you. - the game keeps telling me what buttons to press when i'm halfway through the game, stop it - the cases don't really branch off into different directions but mostly pigeon-holed into solving them one way pros are enough to keep playing it. it's more of a story-driven cluefinding game but it's no excuse to make the action and exploration second-rate. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 15,2011 3:12pm - the_reverend ""] I haven't touched it since my post on 7/2 |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 2,2011 11:29pm - the_reverend ""] just put it in again |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 2,2011 11:50pm - arilliusbm ""] the_reverend said:just dusted of vagrant story and put it in fix'd |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 2,2011 11:59pm - the_reverend ""] "Not trace of semen in the anus, vagina or stomach" |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 3,2011 12:01am - the_reverend ""] just dusted of |
| __________________________________ [Oct 3,2011 8:15am - arktouros ""] did you put it in, and then dust it off? i never beat this but i think i was real close. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 4,2011 1:50am - the_reverend ""] Idk... I got stuck in portal 2 cause of a glitch so I put this back in... I hope I'm getting close. I have a feeling that the black dahlia person might be a person I fought with I the war. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 4,2011 1:54am - the_reverend ""] Ok, there are 5 chapters and I'm at the end of the third one. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 4,2011 6:57pm - Headbanging_Man ""] Just gave the story another run through, would love to see more games in this vein. Definitely agree with ark though... I liked the side missions while they lasted, but it seems a real waste of a roamable city to have only like 3 or 4 different non-story elements to pursue. The film cans are pretty much impossible to find and I got tired of searching for more cars after driving about 2/3rds of em. Partner-driving is key... "You're behind the wheel!" Noticed a major continuity flaw this time through; I charged the school-creeping perv with the Moller murder, but for the rest of the Homicide Desk, Phelps and Galloway kept talking like I'd arrested Hugo Moller. Was a bummer considering how well the story elements generally carry through the whole game. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 4,2011 9:52pm - mattnaegleria ""] just got this game used the other day. pretty decent so far. plan on trying to beat it within the week so i can return it for full refund |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 4,2011 10:18pm - the_reverend ""] Oh, I fail almost every single interrigtion question. The movie secretary one I had to do 5 times. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 5,2011 11:44am - Officer Nice ""] Main character cannot control his emotions when he questions people, seemingly for no reason. "where were you the night of the murder?" "I was at home." "CUT THE SHIT LEEROY, |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 5,2011 11:45am - Officer Nice ""] "I was at home" "oh, so you were at home. ok" What's the deal with that? Same thing when he's driving. He's constantly getting mad at his partner. Rage issues. |
