L.A. Noire

[AArdvark]

So I've been playing this off and on, mostly off, for the last few weeks now. Something was kinda bugging me, like I've played it before, or something like it but I don't know how or where as I only bought it a few months ago. I dislike paying top dollar for PS3 games when I can simply wait a few years and get it second-hand for ten bucks delivered. So I was playing it and then it hit me, the questioning mechanic is almost exactly like the C64 game Law Of The West.

Haha yeah I can see that. I really liked LA Noire. The interrogation scenes were great.

[AArdvark]

I suck at it , I have no intuition and I'm too trustworthy to be a good detective. But the game is fun, It's like GTA or Mafia 2, only without machine guns and random violence. There's so much stuff to discover that I may never see all of it. Haven't even see a collectable film reel yet and I'm almost halfway through the game. I guess that's called replayability.

Trying to replace the heat sink paste with some Arctic 4. The thing was overheating after 10 minutes

[Flack]

Well, you fixed the problem.

[Tdarcos]

Well, you fixed the problem.

Flack, unlike his former XBox, your comment was really cold.

[RealNC]

Never finished it either. I got bored about halfway through. There was no plot to keep me playing it. Just disconnected episodes that had nothing to do with each other.

*Detective Phelps grimace*

I loved this game, but most people said it was a total snore. The disconnected stories thing does sort itself out later but by then you.. well, spoiler.

Good luck!

OHHHH

The game is (was) growing on me. I found myself not being able to play it propefly unless there was no noise or distractions becausd you have to think about what the suspects are saying and remember if there's evidence of them lying to you. It's not just random gta violence and gunfights.I was about halfway through with it and can see the story arc about the morphine getting onto the streets.Might just watch the rest of it on YouTube and be done with it

[AArdvark]

The console was sounding like a jet taking off with the fan running on high all the time and it started giving me overheat warnings

[AArdvark]

Ok, I beat it, now what do I do with the game? For some reason I thought there was a Free Ride Extreme thing that unlocks after you finish the story. guess not

I never really got a hang of the interrogation stuff and pretty much resented how I had to stick to a walkthrough to not flub it non-stop. My favorite thing was just one of the nicely-noir songs that would play when you drive, especially if it was raining. I didn't quite get why they do that thing where all of the cameo voice actors have models that exactly look like themselves. It really breaks the immersion.

I never watched "The Two Jakes" until after beating LA Noire so I was kind of glad that LA Noire had made me feel like I had been in that place already (of course, I'd already seen Chinatown, but LA Noire is no Chinatown).

Anyhow, if you really want to play something that, to me, really recalls "Law of the West," I'd suggest the game Westerado. Like Law of the West, it's very silly and you can basically start shooting at any moment. I haven't played very far except to go, whoa, this is so Law of the West!

[AArdvark]

I did like the Doctor Tom, er ( Robert Clendenin) npc. Out loud I said: "I know that guy!" It's the first time I've ever said that about a videogame character

[AArdvark]

Now I want to play it again and just hit the 'you're lying' button for every question throughout the game.
