Rockstar hasn't made a good GTA game in 7 years.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.

If people keep calling this a rockstar game L&O is going to bring in an uzi and start offing people

I assume at this point we are just doing it to piss him off?

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.

Things are getting pretty interesting towards the end here....even though I really f'd up by reading the biggest spoiler in this thread....not doing too bad for being on-call this week......still think this game needs a lot more to it though.

I did get a good laugh just now at

Spoiler:
Dispatch: Car K11 a Courtney Sheldon is at the station and requests to talk to Agent Cole Phelps
Roy (into radio): Well, I'll be damned
Dispatch: That is incorrect protocol car K11, we'll take that as a Roger.

I was calling it a Rockstar game because there's a big Rockstar logo on the cover, it says "Rockstar Games Presents" in the beginning of the game, it's all over the Rockstar web site...

you know, little things like that.

And if you try to go to Team Bondi's website you get redirected to Rockstar.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.

So I get to the point in the Arson desk last night where
Spoiler:
You become the other dude, and start interrogating Phelps' mistress. Which is just FUCKING RETARDED because YOU THE PLAYER know why she's there, but can't doubt her or accuse her of lying. What a batshit stupid decision to make. I don't want to be this guy. The game isn't this guy's story. WTF?

It's not like becoming Joker in Mass Effect 2. That made sense within the context of the story. Gah.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.

I'm having fun with the game, but I hate the driving part, and just a few nit-pickey things, the game is set in 1947 but there are cars from 1949, the other thing nobody in their right minds sits with their back ( bus benches are facing the wrong way ) to the street in Los Angeles no matter what year it is.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.

I think it's pretty clear to anybody who's played the game even for a few minutes where the "Team Bondi" stuff stops and where the "Rockstar" stuff begins.

If you go up to a car and hold the enter car button down it'll instruct your partner to drive.

I like the game but it's already getting kind of repetitive and I'm still on the traffic desk. Maybe this changes later in the game but the cases seem too linear to me. You can totally flub up the interrogations and you might have to do a little more work but you'll eventually find the bad guy. It doesn't seem like you can fail by not getting the guy or arresting the wrong person.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
