[ALL] L.A. Noire

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I did not know that, thanks.

I'm getting it for PS3 because I'm not ready to buy a 360 yet.

Think i'll get this on 360, I got no problem with the disc swap, and from what i've heard, it isnt even that bad. An extra case is nice on PS3, but I think thats only because it was meant as an exclusive, and at some point, both PSN and XBL will probably release all of the extra cases.

Just curious why if you have both consoles? I mean, you can do whatever the fuck you want. I'm just curious.

Extra content and no disc swaps>nothing IMO. Now if this game had an online component it would be a different story.

Honestly, I dont use my ps3 as much anymore, only use it more for the blu ray. 360 controller I like better, and been playing that alot more.

like I said, in time, probably all cases will be available, already getting 1 extra case in pre order. I believe the disc swaps are only after you complete a certain disc and dont interfere with the actual gameplay

Link: The Guardian UK Review - 5/5

LA Noire largely does away with the free-roaming that enhanced the appeal of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. As you drive around, you do occasionally hear of street crimes to which you can respond, and there are hidden vehicles and LA landmarks that completists can collect and visit, but the overwhelming focus is on the main story.

So it's a good job that, bucking the modern trend for short single-player games, LA Noire is satisfyingly meaty. Rockstar reckons it's roughly equivalent in length to two seasons of a TV series, a claim that feels roughly accurate.

Perhaps, then, it would be more accurate to argue that LA Noire more closely approximates a television show than a film – it beats any film hands down in terms of the sheer amount of entertainment on offer, which of course is an advantage games have always had over films.

I tried to watch that but stopped myself after the first 30 seconds.

 

[Twigg4075]

I am not watching that shit. Less than a week away.

 

[NateDogg7240]

I finally got around to pre-ordering this today. Really looking forward to it

 

[Sean]

I watched the video, I was curious how you investigate and look at certain clues, now I have a slight jump on that case, lol

 

[Tengo Juego]

I'm glad it was taken down when I got to it. I wouldn't have been able to help myself.

I'm getting it from Best Buy because I have enough store credit to get it for free (ha!) hopefully there's an in-store pick-up option, I got Portal 2 delivered and didn't get it until a week after release day!!

 

[jms493]

I am not buying the PS3 version because FUCK Sony! I will only buy their exclusives....plus i hate the amount of time I waste on updates and installs for that system.

 

[ryne candy]

I would get it but my dad called yesterday letting me know that my bro just notified him how much his Aggie Ring is going to cost....told him I would help out. Guess I'll wait for it to either go on sale late next month or get it used at GS. Are there any codes that only new versions have (to play online etc)?

No MP. So getting it used won't leave you SOL.

It says right in his post "free in store pick up".

For those that care....

PS3 is the lead platform and ported to 360. I'm going to get it for the PS3 but only because it will take up less space (in my gaming boxes). Since there is no MP, by the time I actually pick it up PSN will be back up.

Team Bondi has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 is the lead platform for L.A. Noire, with the Xbox 360 version being a port. According to the Aussie studio, most developers are doing it this way nowadays, because it's the best way.

Yeah, that definitely seems to be more the trend the past year or so.At least with AAA titles.

I'm guessing it will look slightly better too, like Homefront, Crysis 2 and some others recently.
