Do you think L.A. Noire is good?

I played it on Xbox, completed the 1000G on it in a couple of days. The game itself is good, but it gets a little bit repetitive as most of the cases are fairly similar, long dialogue etc. The free-world aspects are also kinda pointless, all you can really do is drive about. A bit like the older Driver games.

I can't speak for the DLC though as I never bothered with it.

I expected an action game, but it's more kinda adventure. Store page states that, but I didn't see it. Don't expect something action styled like GTA, like I did.
It may be good, but I stopped after the first mission/case because I fell asleep. :p

I was wondering the same. Just bought it and I would like to know more people's opinions.

All the cases are interesting. There's no story line for the main character in the 30 hours I played, you pretty just much move up in ranks starting as a street cop to traffic, then homicide and etc. You might hear a little bit about your partner and yourself during the commutes but that's about it.

I never finished the game; I didn't heed the warnings about not playing a lot at once and play just a bit once in a while. You get so bored after a while, you literally don't want to press play anymore.

A buddy of mine told me he loved this game. You just have to know you arent going into an action/adventure game and you will be fine. Lots of people picked up this title after it being over-hyped due to it's immense budget and voice acting and thought they were going to get some huge action/thriller game. As long as you know you are going to be playing a more laid-back mystery game, you'll find the game quite enjoyable. Well worth the amazon deal price of it couple with GTA4 Complete, and San Andreas.

Terrible PC port, but good game. A lot of interesting cases, but the "Truth, doubt, lie" system sucks. If you accuse someone, but you're wrong, you are forced to restart that part all over again, leading to frustration. The writing, voice acting and facial animations saved the game from being bad. Investigating feels alright, as driving also does.

I dont like the game that much. You might choose a line of enquiry that you think makes sense but your character flies off the handle and insinuates theyve killed someone even though youre just talking about a cigarette packet or something.

its great, too bad i lost save files

Its pretty terrible. Really boring, like a bad movie.

yes

Very good :)

Thank you all for the info. I guess I won't buy it.

Its a great game, have it for 360 though I might buy it again for steam :D

If you enjoy the gameplay and don't mind a bit of a slog at times you'll dig it. All the cases are cool to watch come together, but the process doesn't change up much and some cases feel very throwaway. Even then it's a unique experience and I think one that should be approached if you like adventure games and stuff like that.

Turn off the sound cues btw, shit's just a waste of time and holds your hand.

WTF? It's one of the best games I ever played, buy it man, you wont be sorry. First of all , its a different game, it will be a great change for you.

It is amazing. :)

Good game, but it's a bit repetitive, so then, it's quite boring. I expected something like "Heavy Rain meets GTA", but well..

Its great, one of the best games i played in couple of years. Its worth the buy without a doubt.

It's great!

It's wonderful, well-ported, has interesting cases, and has a good overall storyline too. Some of the commenters on this thread didn't understand the game/are crazy/etc.

If you like detective stories and film-noir, if the 50's in america is a favorite theme of yours, if L.A. Confidential is one of your favorite movies then a thousand times yes. It was like all good detective movies in one game for me, loved the storyline and feel of the game. Also, the port was good.

It could've been the most perfectly evolved point-and-click type of game, but it lost faith in itself halfway through so it included lame shootouts, annoying car chases and mundane drive-from-here-to-there parts.

'tis alright overall.

I haven't played it but I have seen someone play it and it seemed good

No, the game is really boring. Its always the same gameplay. The story is not so good either. There were some good cases but overall it is a boring game. And the port is ok, but could be a bit better

"You might choose a line of enquiry that you think makes sense but your character flies off the handle and insinuates theyve killed someone even though youre just talking about a cigarette packet or something."

oh yeah. forgot about that shit. was driving me nuts all the time :/

L.A Noire is the best!
