L.A. Noire

No you can't shoot hookers in the face. So far the only time you're able to pull out a weapon is if you are chasing criminals, and the game automatically decides when you can pull it out...i.e. you can't just walk around and pull out your weapon any time you want. This is nothing like GTA so if you're expecting that you will be disappointed. It is what it says it is...a game based on 1940's style crime noirs. It is slow paced and deliberate for the most part. Investigating crime scenes and interrogating witnesses make up a great part of the game. There are random crimes (40 in all) that you can respond to over the radio. I've only responded to two of these so far and they generally end up with some gunplay.

The acting is top notch and the things they did with the faces is amazing. There is some slowdown in some parts I've noticed, but nothing too bad.

I played a little of the game last night. So far I'm having fun playing detective. The shootouts and the driving do remind me of the GTA games. :lol:

Better than the Mafia series?

Better than the Mafia series?

I would hope so with as terrible as the most recent Mafia was...

[Porn Shop Clerk]

I didn't think it was terrible, just not as good as the first.

[C47]

It's just too linear for me. I like my sandbox style games....

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Yeah, that's why it wasn't as good. Sometimes I just wanna take a break from the story arc in those kind of games and go do killing sprees and poo.

But I liked the story and the gunfights, and the way the time changes would alter the environment.

Just wish it hadn't been so point a to point b.

Plus beating up a rapist in a prison shower was pretty hawt.

And there are titties.

[Captroop]

Still on the fence. I love the new tech involved, and the game looks very smart and challenging, but I'm afraid it's too linear. Mainly I just want to hear that there's some sandbox to it. After all, that's the main reason to buy a Rock Star game.

[thefuzz]

Going and buying it today.....woot.

[mmmbeans]

can anyone compare this to Heavy Rain?

[tarheelblue89]

This game is very linear or at least so far it is. Unlike GTA or RDR you don't drive to missions, they just happen when you complete the previous one. So there is no "free time" to run people over.

You guys must be holding down the button to make your partner drive cause I have to drive all over the place otherwise, and also get a lot of street crime calls on the way there.
