Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
I don't know wtf you people are griping about but mentioning actors' names isn't a big deal. Otherwise the movie thread of dvdtalk would be pretty sparse for names.

Yeah, that's what I was coming back to post. It's not like there's some super-secret Angelia Jolie cameo or something. Pinata, I apologize if I came off harsh, that was not my intent. But it ticks me off when people get pissed off about spoiling something that's so trivial. It's not a major plot point to the game and someone isn't going to be extremely disappointed that they now know that the mind-reader guy from Heroes is in the game.

First case with some glitches...characters floating...people frozen...case not moving forward...and a part where I was suppose to find a taxi, and it just was not there....I tried avoiding reading anything about this game online, but I could not help it after looking for the taxi for 30 minutes. This seems to be a problem on this homicide case...
Up to this point it had been a smooth ride, but it almost seemed like they got lazy...ugh..

Beat the game and ended up having only 1 glitch the entire time. Phelps fell through the ground and off into oblivion!
Overall, not a bad game, but not great. Very repetitive, and I found myself rapidly losing interest in the story. Even skipped some cutscenes at the end to get it over with. I don't think they could have designed less likeable characters if they tried.

I was going to go see Pirates 4 this weekend, but then someone over in the the movie forum let it spill that Johnny Depp is in it. Well, thanks for ruining the movie for me. No point in seeing it now.

Back in with blinders on, but I'm sure you guys are having a field day with my "over-reacting". Whatever.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm about 11 hours into the game and still on disc 2 but the 13th case totally should have been called

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
I'm on the 7th or 8th case and am pretty disappointed so far. The interrogation mechanic just doesn't work well. There are times when doubt means 'I know you're lying, but I can't prove it' and others where it means 'I know you're telling the truth, but I need to be a little gruff to get you to tell me more.' And some of the conversation logic just sucks. A couple examples from case 5 or 6:
Anyway, the environment is nice except for occasional pop-in and the character models are excellent. I'm just really disappointed in how the dialog often has a crappy, unnatural flow and the interrogation logic sometimes sucks, as that's really the core of the whole thing. It's certainly not an awful game, but so far it'd be 4th or 5th down on my 2011 list.

FWIW, it would appear that Best Buy has upped their extra $15 to $20 for LA Noire. I'm on the phone with their customer service right now to see what they can do. The only difference is the $20 is a gift card whereas the $15 was a digital code. They've got a case going with their promotions department and expect to get back to me soon.

If only they could combine the facial animations with the dialogue trees of Fallout or some of those games...
I just started case disc 2, level 10/20. My guess is that I'll reach 20 long before the end.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
I just called Best Buy regarding the gift-card offer being upped to $20 for online orders. The guy had me explain what the deal was, then spent about a minute processing something and said they were sending me a $10 gift card in the mail; way beyond what I ever expected.
