If you have not finished the game do not go to the link. Some dickhole bitch spoiles it. In caps no less

motherFUCKING ELLIPSES POILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't click.

Oh come on - now this post makes no sense because you fixed yours

Lol, I was on my phone. Fucking autocorrect

You guys are right. This game sucks. I am gonna go play State of Emergency to make me feel better.

Xbox version for the win!

Another great Rockstar game made by Rockstar...100% by Rockstar...just like La Noire!!!!!!

They make some damn good energy drinks too, or are those made by Team Bondi?

Just beat it and listed my copy on half.com. The ending was fine with me, to the point where I enjoyed the last couple cases more than most of the rest of the game. I've already outlined most of my complaints through the thread, but the only really significant ones were how lousy the evidence logic was a lot of the time and the fact that the awesome face technology was so ridiculously used to show someone lying. With all the crazy eye rolls and spasms and exaggerated swallowing, they might as well have just had a frowny face pop up over a liar's head. Anyway, I'd give it a 9/10 for ambition/idea, dropped to about a 7/10 as an actual game.

I wasn't able to finish it yesterday, so it will have to wait until Monday.

A question for those finished....

Yeah, that was curiously dropped early on. Weird.

Unrelated, but the other day somewhere else someone posted the link to an old Kotaku story where it's mentioned that "noir" was misspelled early on and they just kept it. I was wondering about that. The misspelling has bugged me since I first heard of the game last year.

I've finished the story and the street crimes and am now going after the film reels (with the help of an online guide). I don't think that I have the patience to find every car - I'm at about 65 found right now.

I assumed they had decided that L.A. is feminine. Of course, Film Noir is spelled without the E because film is masculine. I don't think specific cities actually have a gender in French, but the word "ville" is feminine.

Yes, "los" is masculine, but that's Spanish and it wouldn't necessarily be the same in French.

I just associate the title with Film Noir, which this game is obviously heavily indebted to. But that makes sense, too.

I just finished it, just have to get 5-stars on most of the cases. I noticed that this game has actors from Mad Men. GREAT GAME

Seriously, which characters? I've logged a few cases already and haven't seen any.

I think all but one show up on the final desk.

I'm not up to the last desk yet, but so far I've seen...

It cracks me up that I can never tell if people are just being assholes or completely clueless.

Just finished it and while it was a great ride I don't see myself playing through it again. Selling I will go.

This.

I finished the main game last night. I would give 8/10, but admittededly the game earned one of those stars with the last set of cases, which are really strong. I stood up and took notice (in a good way) when:



My biggest problem with the game is that:



I will hold onto this, as I can see myself playing the DLC for this. I also want to go back and finish up the street crimes, hidden cars, and five star some more cases. I will NOT be doing the film reels or driving all 95 cars.

I only found one film reel:

I finished up my review. Personally, my biases would rank the game a near masterpiece, but looking at it objectively, a lot of people will merely enjoy going through it once and never looking at it again.

But it's so much fun stopping to get in and out of cars for 10 minutes every time you pass a parking lot. FOR HOURS.

LOL! This is exactly what I've been doing. When I finish the game I will try Pinata's approach.

I finished this game a couple of days ago (I was in no rush to post my final thoughts) and I would give it a solid 7 out of 10 but only because of what it TRIED to be and the fact that it took a lot of balls to release a game like this (even though it is shitty).

The story by the end is fucking dreadful:



Points lost for placing it in an open world as well....had this been a strictly linear play through with more dynamic enviornments like Alan Wake it would have prob ended up being a much better game.

The gameplay....I think I've already said enough on it.

It's just scary to see hipster shit like "One of the most important games I've ever played" on Team Bondi's site.....really? Give me a break. The amount of praise this game is receiving is just laughable.....there is nothing groundbreaking about the game at all.....it's just very average with excellent acting.

I've honestly never been this let down by a game before to the point where I feel like I've been scammed.

You find absolutely nothing about the tech used for this game in regards to facial animation groundbreaking?

But hey..you gave it a solid 7 despite feeling like it scammed you and is shitty. That's some scale!
