Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
First impressions:
Pretty good so far. I think it will turn out that one reason for the variable reports on game length are due to the puzzle-like nature of the cases. If you knew which objects to pick up and where to go, you could get through the cases quickly. But you don't, so it takes you time to look around and see what's important and what isn't. There was also a witness I questioned in the first case that I don't think is necessary, since I restarted the case and skipped it the second time.
And then there's actually passing the interrogations. I had a lot of trouble with my first one, and I don't have the ability to tell truth from lies yet. I'm not even sure when "doubt" is supposed to be used. But, I suppose you can just use trial and error and get it anyway.
The driving is pretty sensitive. Hopefully I'll get used to it.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
Mine arrived from Amazon with the packed in code. Hopefully I can sell the magic suit and get some money back.
My wife and I intend to play this game together since she isn't really a gamer but is a huge crime noir fan. Hopefully after the little one goes to bed we can start!
Is anyone intending to play it in black and white? I may see what the mode looks like but I will most likely play it in color.
Also, KMart. I did not buy it at Kmart. I probably should have for the free game but I had amassed credit at Amazon so the game cost me nothing out of pocket... and has 15$ towards my next game.

Wow, the driving sucks ass. Feels worse than GTA. It doesn't matter in GTA, because you can bash into anything and it's fine. But here, running into things or people adversely affects your score. If that's the case, then make it easier to drive correctly!
B&W looks awesome, but I've already encountered one part of the game that relies on color (golden door knobs and handles), so I'm going to play in color.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
Is it relatively safe to sell DLC on Ebay?
It seems like they could order the code, use it, and then claim the code didn't work...

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
You say there's no refunds for it. Make it clear it's for the code only in both the description and title. Don't use a stock game case for your photo.
Also, people are as likely to be stupid as assholey, so YMMV.

Regardless, the vast majority of movies at that time were B&W, especially those that inspired this game. I hope they can patch it so the golden doors flash or sparkle in the B&W mode.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
Is it just me or are the graphical hiccups outdoors almost gamebreaking? The pop-in is abysmal. I'm on disc one (installed the game) and I have no desire to drive around the city because everything is so glitchy looking.
