L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

You must have run over a whole bunch of stuff/people during that case or something. You sure you didn't flip a few cars during the case?

I might have hit a person or two... but I can't be sure. The damage was comparable to my other cases. The boss called me into his office and said one more case like that and Id be back on patrol duty.

Could it have also been that I

Spoiler

didn't convict the husband during the interview since I had the other guy to interview. When I came back to arrest him after the other interview he took off running and it ended in a car chase. Or was that supposed to happen?

Also some of these convictions I get to the end and am like... that doesn't seem right. But it convicts the people automatically.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

I'm Loving this game. I 2 starred a case. Pretty much let the perp walk out because I thought he wasn't lying. The cheif yelled at me after I had to chase him down.

The only real knock right now is that all the cases end solved somehow. How you get there is great though.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

Yup - if you go around and do a few side missions you'll unlock a some.

It's case number 13, I assume, since I've completed 12/21 story cases so far, and it's incredibly awesome and by far the most thorough case I've done.

If it's the one I'm thinking about then you don't have to find the landmarks cause all the one's you need show up on the map even if you haven't found them.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

OH MY FREAKIN' GOODNESS!

I think i'm legitimately addicted to this game. I went to play some more of the game at about 1:30 AM time thinking i'd just play a little well I ended up playing until 5:30 in the morning! This game is like a really good movie that I just don't want to turn off. I haven't even touched the street cases yet! I figure i'll complete the main story then go back on some cases and drive around until street cases pop up and play them all in one shot then.

So um....I hope they release a ton of DLC for this but hopefully after a couple or so months so I can get my act together and buy MS points. This game is definitely not GTA but that's ok because it's a game that takes you though the progression of Phelps' career and some pretty grisly cases.

I'm definitely going to go back and play one case in particular because

Spoiler

This is the Golden Butterfly Case I arrested Moller rather than getting the pedophile. I think you're supposed to arrest the pedo because the Captain reamed me out for arresting Moller even though all evidence pointed to him being the killer.

I finally had to hit the hay in the midst of the Silk Stocking Murder case and I didn't really want to but I needed sleep!

Cole Phelps is an interesting guy. I don't know if this is spoilers but it might make people look at him a bit differently once I say this so i'll put it in spoilers to be on the safe side:

Spoiler

There seems to be something not quite right about Phelps. I can't put my finger on it but I feel like there's something about him that's going to pop up and change the whole complexion of the game.

So again, the facial animations and acting is top notch. I really really liked the owner of the La Bamba Club. Whoever did the acting for that guy really did a bang up job! I'll have to play that one case again just to hear him talk. Some of the other characters are just so authentic that you forget you're playing a video game.

So, i'm majorly impressed and love this game to bits. Rockstar is going to have to work with Team Bondi or ask another developer within their family to take a crack at games of this kind.

My only complaint tho it's not a real big one is that for a guy like me I wish they had a GPS for the driving! I understand why they don't but man it makes driving for me a pain in the butt!

This game has really exceeded my expectations and i'm going to limit myself a bit so I don't finish it in less then 2 weeks.

Spoiler

I did the exact same thing with the golden butterfly case and would also like to know what I did wrong lol. The only thing I'm thinking is from what my partner said at some point...about getting the pedo off the streets and depriving the girl of any parents now, and combined with the captains comments about handling the pedo himself. It's all I can get at, because yeah the evidence to me pointed at Hugo.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

I have a question about that case, BlueNGold doesn't have to be the only one to answer:

Spoiler

You say you were "able to arrest the exact person I thought committed the murder." My question is, you actually made an arrest in that case? Mine ended in body bags...

Yeah never mind what I said at the end there. I confused the end with a different case. Mine ended the same as yours.

Spoiler

I think it is possible for that case to end with the wife being arrested though. I had to refresh my memory on the ending and found this on the Gamefaqs board:

I was thinking if you saved the wife for last. Making it your 3rd stop. You'd have all the evidence needed in that one visit and wouldn't have to make a 2nd visit to the wife that ends in blood shed. So something like; bar finding all the clues and getting all the questions, then the driver, then the coroner, then finally the wife. That or that first visit would just end in blood shed anyway.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

anybody else playing with clues off and music on?

I feel it makes it a little more interesting

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

I'm so ****ing terrible at interrogations and that whole thing. I'm good enough at the clue stuff, but the interrogations are killer. I'm going to start slowing down, though, as my fiance kept complaining I'm going far too fast. I'll see if that helps any.

Really? I figured one of them didn't - but thinking back on it now, I think you're actually right.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

Yeah they just have question marks instead of the icon and they all still have the descriptions.

I've been trying hard for a really long time not to buy any new games until NCAA 12 and Battlefield 3 come out, but I'll end up biting the bullet on Friday..

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

Spoiler

With the mentally unstable guy street crime case. I didn't catch him time and he threw himself off the roof. That was a tough one, but I busted out laughing when he just started dancing in the intersection before that.

[Fresh Tendrils]

Five starred my first case, The Red Lipstick Murder. It feels good.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

It's really annoying having to chase everyone. You would think Phelps would take some kind of precatuion with all the people he has seen run from him.

If only they had invented stun guns already...

Or at least tell his partner to go around back and guard the door.
