Just started playing it (last night for an hour) and I have to say I'm pretty impressed so far.
Slightly slow starting but I assume thats just to help you get to grips with the gameplay and controls etc.
Certainly different to any other game I've played.
Anyone else on here played it?

Yeah I played it, sold it now. It's alright, it is a great idea and hoepfully they will bring out a second to improve on it.
I won't tell you my main criticism, because it would probably ruin it a bit for you.

Yeah, it's a really good game but still has some fairly big flaws (namely what Superman is alluding to).
It freaked me out though. Just have a look out for Curtis and you'll see why.

An English version would just be going out to a council estate because a job-shy couple want their pathetic argument settled, spending an hour hearing both sides, telling them it isn't illegal to argue so there is nothing you can do, then you go back to the station to do a couple of hours worth of paperwork on the pointless matter. Bentilee Noir. |

It's a decent concept, decent game but it all gets a bit samey after a couple of cases

I don't really do a lot of gaming.
I play Fifa and Gears of War (I love this game, all 3 of 'em) from time to time but not a lot else.
I'll probably work my way through LA Noire one and then move onto another similar.
Is that Red Dead Redemption any good??

Red Dead Redemption is definitely the better out of the two

Finished the Patrol part last night and completed my first case on Traffic Patrol.
I'm addicted to it already.
Still not 100% sure on the "Truth, Lie, Doubt" area of the game. I got a question wrong last night as I selected "doubt" instead of "lie" yet there was no conclusive evidence to say the person was lying. I'm still getting to grips with that a bit.
On my first case I missed one clue (12 out of 13 I think) and I got around 3 questions wrong out of about 15/20.
In the case notes it said I could have ended the case by "leaning" on a POI more and he would have folded and given the missing person up. As it was, I selected the doubt options so he ended up leaving and I had to tail the POI back to his apartment and I completed the case when the missing person was there and I aprehended him.
Really enjoying the concept of the game.

I had a feeling that it might have been that mate.
It was something along the line of a suspect saying he hadn't seen the person who had gone missing. That contradicted what another witness/POI had told me but I don't take that as fact. Its not hard evidence, just a witness statement. On that basis I selected "doubt" as I wasn't 100% sure he was lying, I just suspected he was.

I never really knew how to use the truth, doubt, lie thing either. I just looked at their facial expressions on most of them.
I was never sure on what basis I was believing, doubting or accusing the suspect, if you know what I mean. Sometimes the questions and answers never really revealed anything so it was difficult to know your response.

I was sitting there feeling like Rain Man last night. |

It's that you always reach a conclusion and get the driminal no matter what you do, if you do a perfect round you will trap them or whatever, if you keep getting it wrong, usually something like that happens, you follow them and lock them up. Basically nobody runs free if you are not having a good case/picking up the evidence. |

Suppose that applies to any game in one way or another.
You won't get a game that doesn't give you a succesful outcome eventually.
In games where you get killed you get infinite lives to keep trying until you get it right. If you mess up on a certain level you don't just skip it and go to the next, you keep doing it until you get it right.
Understand your point though mate.

Not all games are like that, I finished Mass Effect 2 before playing through LA Noir and the difference was so glaringly obvious. In Mass Effect everything can go wrong, you can finish the game in different ways and with a completely different team (or no team at all) if you fuck up during the game... then your decisions carry over into the next game. LA Noir put a lot of emphasise on the decisions you make, the fact that it doesn't matter is shit. I remember on an important interview, that I completely fucked up on purpose to see what happened, it just said I had to start it again. Which was a shame, it could have been a brilliant game. |
