[ALL] L.A. Noire

[j.hen]

I do believe I'm buying this game as I dont see anything else coming out soon that offers a great story experience, even though I haven't looked into this game as much as I should've.

I wonder how much DLC will they have for this. They can take this game far and milk us for every red penny. Throw some Al Capone type capers where you play from the gangsters side and wut not.

We mentioned this in the Podcast this week.

I'd be down to pay $1-2 per DLC case. An hour or so of enjoyment out of each one seems worth it to me.

I highly doubt DLC will be $1-2...prob round $5.99 mark. Still will prob be worth it though.

A case for $5 is a bit of a stretch.

I mean seriously, aside from some stupid fucking shit for your avatar, what on XBox Live is $1-2????


P.S. if you are one of those people who wastes points (i.e. $$) on shirts and little animated trinkets for your avatar.....hell, I'd even say for gamer pics and themes too!!......you're gay. Yeah, I said it...GAY (no offense Spooner). To PAY money for shit like that which should be free, is ridiculous (and yes people, that's the appropriate way to spell that word, there are no additional "U"s or "E"s in it)

And with that rant.....I'm out like Adam Lambert!!

There are some items here and there. Most are non-avatar iterms that went on sale though.

He's pretty much right though. M$ has consistently fucked things like this up for everyone in the past. Rockstar could say that they only want to charge $2 for each DLC case that they want to release. Sony would say "Absolutely, the more LA Noire the better." M$ would then say "Fuck that. It's a Rockstar game. We can milk these losers for much more than that". My guess would be $7. Just look at ME2. From what I understand a good chunk of those DLC packs only lasted an hour ( sometimes less) and they were $7. That seems to be MS's sweet spot for highly anticipated and short content. And because MS is the end all, be all of what content goes on their marketplace and what the price is, Sony doesn't have a choice but to price it at the same price point.

There have been plenty of developers, and more so guys like the Giant Bomb crew that have spoken on behalf of developers because they don't want to ruin relationships with MS, that have confirmed this. It's pretty sad actually.

Yeah, I wasn't saying they would be $1-2. But they could make a killing if they priced them under $5.

And most of the ME2 packs were ~2 hours of content each.

Oh, I know they could, and if they are about an hour each $2 would be very appropriate, but I don't see that happening. $5 would be much more appropriate. Just think, most games these days are $60 and last 6-10 hours. If they charged $5 for an extra hour, six of those cases would be only $30 extra and would be the length of a lot of games tehse days.

I know every podcast I've listed to says the last ME2 DLC was about 45 minutes. And I know there was at least one other pack that was an hour or less as well? Kasumi maybe? But you would know better than me. Even Vinny Caravella from Giant Bomb, who is a self proclaimed ME fanboy, said he was very disappointed in the last ME2 DLC and it was way too short and way over priced at $7.

Even if you are right the DLC should be content specific. Every pack shouldn't just be $7. I have no idea why MS insists on doing that bullshit. Just look on PSN. You have games and DLC with all kinds of different prives. You have map packs as low as $2.99 and most at $5.99. On 360? $10 normally. Look at exclusive arcade games. On PSN you have games for anything from $2 to $20 (for big tiotles like Wipeout HD). Look at Dungeon Hunter for $13. Games like Shatter are $6. It seems on PSN they price most of the games and content pretty appropriately. MS just prices things a flat rate on what they think they can get from people, not any value whatsoever. It pisses me off.

I'm just glad that they finally starting doing sales on shit after four fucking years.

But I can all but guarantee if Rockstar releases extra cases, which they probably will just based on the pre-order exclusives, they will be closer to $7 a pop.

I died a bunch with the last DLC, so that probably a cause for the 2 hours. It was certainly a linear experience for $7. $3 would have been much more appropriate, but oh well.

And I agree about pricing things individually. LIVE is lazy, I guess. But they do have some good sales at time, which can't be said for PSN.

If you have 2 games they want, GameStop will knock off $50 on your copy...

Good if you go through games like water through a sieve; Bad if you're a collector or you refuse to sell a piece of yourself to the Corporate Gaming Machine (tm).

PSN has some sales but most of the good sales are PS+ related.

The only game I would think about trading on that list is Homefront. But I still plan on playing more online and I think they have single player DLC coming in the future.

Can someone tell me wtf is up with Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant (360)?!? Isn't that game pretty old? Is it rare? I saw it at a Gmestop for like $30 used the other day and now it's on this trade list which only has newer games and more valuable games.

What a bullshit list. All those games are pretty much brand new and can be brought used for no less that 39-49 dollars. What a fucking rip off. They have Socom 4 on the fucking list already. You trade in 2 of any of those games you should be getting the game for "free" at the very least.

Exactly. Portal 2? That's $50 off right there.

Suits? The fuck you talking about? They have different characters skins you can unlock.

I imagine you can. I know Amazon is offering a suit as a pre-order bonus.
