:lol: does it really?

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

The one that made me laugh was during the second arson case. I had to go use a Gamewell to contact HQ, and there was a guy standing next to it who for no reason decides to start screaming "HEY MAN, FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!" repeatedly. :lol:

"I'm thinking about moving to a .45. I wanna put 'em down in one shot."

:banana: New L.A. Noire Case Day is my favorite day!

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

You love it so much that you'll spend it watching three hours of Game of Thrones?

I'm trying to decide what to do with my code now that I have the Rockstar Pass...

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

They're not mutually exclusive. Three hours of Game of Thrones, and THEN the new case.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

The case isn't going for anything on eBay, so I'll try to find a local friend that didn't get the pass. I'm a sweetie like that.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

Disgraceful.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

Interesting the new dlc released today is 656MB on PSN and only 208MB on XBL.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

The PSN download may have included a last minute patch - while I was at work I was browsing that horrible comments section in the Rockstar newswire and saw a lot of comments from people on the PSN stating they couldn't get the download to work....not sure of nay issues with the XBL - I know mine downloaded with no problems.

Only 10pm....think I might give the new case a try now.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

I had problems getting it to download, turned media server off and it started to work no problems.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

The Nicholson Electroplating case was easily the best one....very surprised at how much I liked it and will play through it again.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

So it should have been kept in the game is what I'm basically hearing about this case.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

It doesn't really fit in with the over-arcing storyline like the rest of the in-game stuff though. It's a really good one though, and the best of the three DLC cases thus far.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

I'm still waiting on the 4th one, Reefer Madness, to launch so I can restart the game and play the whole thing from the beginning. It may actually be better to not have every case so obviously fit into the overarching story for each desk.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

I thought the beginning of Nicholson Electroplating was superb, but the ending was ridiculous. It could have been that I got a "bad" ending (I 3-starred it).

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

I take it that even though I went ahead and bought the Rockstar Pass, I can't download the DLCs until I get the actual game and do it from the in-game menu, right? I have no problem with that, but just wondering if there's any way to go ahead and queue them up.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

You got it. Totally in-game.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

I'm not sure how the 360 works, but you can download all the dlc on the PS3 without the disc.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

I got a 4-star rating, but the ending seemed really, really abrupt.

Anyone get 5 stars on this and care to share their ending?

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

I got the same ending as you, Gramps.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

Agreed. That whole segment felt out of place. It was almost like they didn't know how to wrap up the story.

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

Okay, after seven or so cases, I have to ask: Is there a right way and wrong way to go about these investigations?

In one case in particular, after searching a perp's house and asking a few neighbors about his whereabouts, we bring him down to the station for questioning.

At the same time, I still had other tasks/locations to visit. One was visit a bar, another was a fruit market.

Now, in my mind, I figured I needed more evidence from these two locations before I question this perp. So instead if interviewing him, I leave and head to these two locations. I end up getting the guy in the end, but it didn't involve any questioning down at the station.

So it's got me confused. Why would I have the option to arrest and question a suspect, if the locations and tasks involved don't demand it? Should I have questioned the suspect and his line of answers would've pushed me to those locations anyways? And if that was the way to do it, why would the game show me the locations before I question the suspect?

So, again--is there a right and wrong way to play this game?

Re: LA Noire - The Thread.
 

Not really. There are a few instances where the game expects you to go to locations in a certain order, and if you go in an unexpected order Phelps will talk about things he hasn't seen yet. And it is possible to finish a case without visiting all the locations and gathering all the clues (and your score will reflect this).

However, I'm unaware of a case that allows you to arrest a suspect without even visiting two locations.
