Heading in loved ones' triggering eyes

Oh ye gods, I really think that my life has been eaten by the huge whale of a game that is LA Noire. Seriously, I'm finally living out my life long dream of being a 1940's detective. I really want do just walk around at work in a trilby, inspecting everything and being suspicious of everyone...although I'm kind of suspicious of everyone at work ( Read more... )

I was going to pick up LA Noire at some point, because I wanted to be a trilby-wearing detective also.

Though I've heard conflicting things on my flist. Some people love it to pieces, and some people are horribly frustrated with some of its issues. I thought I'd wait until it was a bit cheaper, and see for myself.

Ugh, it is so much fun.

What kinds of issues? The only thing I can think of that may rile some people up are the opinions some of the characters have of others, but I kind of put that down to just how different people were back then. Um...if that makes sense?

I think I've mostly heard people complaining about bugs and crashes, and the extreme linearity of the story, that nothing you do really affects anything. Also, people seem to be annoyed about the 'doubt' option being a possible minefield.

But still...playing detectives! And it's getting fairly high scores from the gaming review sites.

Ah yes. See, I haven't crashed yet, and the only glitch I've encountered so far was my partner getting stuck to a tree a few days ago (I actually love glitches in game, they make me laugh so much! As long as it doesn't make me re-set). So far it's been nothing compared to some glitchtastic games I've played recently *coughFalloutNewVegascough*. The Doubt option can indeed be a pain in the arse though yes. All in all though, despite how linear the game it's still great fun. Also, it's over 3 disks and the map is HUGE.

I would recommend you wait a bit for the price to go down then give it a go. Despite the short comings it's great ^_^

Lol, I'm actually with you there, funny glitches are solid gold. Though I'm still putting off buying New Vegas because I don't know if they've patched the XBox version yet :(

3 discs in LA Noire, really? Wow.
