Needless to say I'm absolutely loving it.

Such a different gaming experience to any I've ever had before.

I hated my partner during the vice section. He was such a slimy twat.

Best partner in the game is this guy:


Aye, I'm only part way through homicide, but I love the dynamic between Cole and this guy. I hate him at first, thought he was a tosspot, but he's grown on me.

One of these days picking up a hairbrush, a bottle of beer or a wooden spoon is going to be vital to a case. Well that's what I keep telling myself anyway. Arsenal When it shows you the vehicle/city damage at the end of a case, does that have any effect on anything at all?

And evey empty bottle of bear, empty cigarrette packets etc :D

They must help towards you're rating though, helping you find all the clues in that case.

It's gripping. I usually go through games REALLY slowly, but I'm going through this one a lot faster..... but still taking my time.... but not as much as usual :)
Got my first 5* today, on the homicide case with the hispanic lady. Though I completely fucked up the last one (with Greg Grunburg)..... got 1* Arsenal.

I assume it's just to get you used to searching for stuff, but yeah, it can get annoying.

Yeh I believe it affects the star rating you get.

So the game says.

Same here. I really threw myself into the game & enjoyed it's ability to immerse you into the story and events. My only worry now is that when the case DLC's are downloaded and I sit down to play them that it's going to feel weird having already completed the main story. Not going to explain why, but those who have finished all cases will probably understand.

I'm contemplating starting again. I'm only 30% in but made the mistake of playing the game when really drunk. I now don't know a chunk of the story and it's putting me off continuing as the story is the main reason I was soo into the game in the first place.

For anyone who has finished the game..

Even though the ending is not on par with that of Red Dead, anyone else think that Coles last word 'Goodbye' was more effective than anything else they could've done?

How long is this story mode? I hate games with short stories, so i'm hoping you'll all tell me it's pretty long.

Also, is it better than the GTA games/RDR? Since it's made by Rockstar, it must be good, right?

I did it in about 18 hours, but at the moment I've got 29 hours out of it.


It's not made by R* it's made by Team Bondi and if you go into LA Noire thinking it will be GTA then you'll hate it, it's the complete opposite, it's kind of similar to Red Dead, gameplay wise.

Some in-game and real life comparisons

I'm obsessed. Just got into bed because I've got to be up early, but I'm considering pulling an all nighter to play it.

I'm still in Homicide, just starting the case with the women murdered on the train tracks.

Just been on the Rockstar site... would seem our wait for DLC now has a date to aim for:
[Top Story] Details on L.A. Noire Downloadable Content and the Rockstar Pass Coming Next Week

Source

This was posted last Friday... so hopefully we should see some DLC on XBL this Wednesday.

A release for major DLC this week would appear to have added some fuel to the rumours that the PSN Store will be back up this Wednesday. Playstation have announced (well in advance for once) that their online services will be down from 19.00 GMT Tuesday 31st May until Wednesday 1st June 01.00 GMT Source... :hmm:

I have however found nothing official from Sony to that end, but it would seem strange that Rockstar would make an announcement with likely thousands of PS3 players being alienated..??

Just a thought.

In the last case of Homicide, I got stuck.
I was searching inside the museum. Wasted nearly 15 minutes
. I had to watch a video on Youtube to figure out where I was supposed to go.

With the maze I ended up trying the old trick of following one side of the hedge around in order to get to the end, i.e. always moving along the left but ended up back at the beginning. :facepalm:

That bit was so hard, I just kept going round in circles. My plan was to follow the sound coming from the globe.

I owned that maze :cool:

Also, ending spoilers:

Now, lets face it, Cole was a bit of a dick, but I was still sad to see him go. I think the fact that you didn't play as him during the last couple of cases makes his death more poignant. I will admit, gripping as the story was, a lot of it did go over my head. When they start going on about fraud and insurance claims and all that malark, my head just explodes. Also, I know Phelps has no friends, but why did Roy have to read his eulogy?? I think there is scope for a sequel, or a similar game. Maybe set in a different city with new characters. The interrogations could be improved, with more emphasis on judging body language etc.

I think I'm gonna try and platinum it. I didn't get any film reels :facepalm:, only one badge, and still have quite a few vehicles to find (seriously, they all look so damn similar!).

Also, how awesome is this song:
