****Official L.A Noire thread****

This game strikes me as a massively linear one-play-only type of game. I really hope I'm wrong.

So? If that one play through is brilliant, then what's the problem?

Agreed. If it has a great story and single playthrough then that's good for me.

If you wanted re-playability it might be worth getting something else.

Google the Guardian review - got removed but quotes/info around the web about it. 5/5.

Some pre-release gameplay tips from Bondi

Sounds like there are a lot of ways to customise how much help the game gives you... Not sure how hardcore to go with it myself.

All I will say is... FU sir.

Hehe, I should have stayed quite really. As I don't think my loaf of ASDA's own will be enough to rid the pirate chasing crew off my back. As much as I am with them, bit annoying having to prove my innocence! But understandably.

I will report back with the framerate issue thing and let you guys know, but out of courtesy I will not mention story based things

Just read an excerpt from that pulled guardian review and it stated that in between cases Phelps will experience flashbacks of his time in Japan during the war and off duty life, I'm really liking the sound of this!

 

[Robbo]

All the reviews will be out tonight anyway I imagine as its released in the states tomorrow.

A good reading session is on the cards!

[cHk4]

Who did you order with?

Just checked mine and have this:

Game mate. It will be dispatched tomo and with my Thursday (if it is anything like it normally is!)

 

[IceBus]

Same as me then. Hopefully mine will switch over to that today as well, I was hoping for a Thursday arrival too! When did you order?

 

[jojothemonkey69]

25 hours long apparently and the pacing is said to be incredible.

 

[antijoke]

Going to go and pre-order mine tonight from store, so I can get the Naked City DLC.

 

[Dave85]

This looks utterly amazing.

...and so it begins.

Cue 5-10 pages of pretty much the same. I hate to be a kill joy and this is nothing personal at all, but can we just for once not clog up the thread with pages of "mine's dispatched, wooooot!!"?

 

[antijoke]

Agree 100%!!!

It's pointless.
