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

Has anyone had any street crimes that didn't involve killing everyone?

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

Do you have to wait until you complete the initial patrol officer (tutorial) cases to be able to do the street crime cases?

Yes. You have to be in a police car, because they are prompted via the police radio.

I botched like two interviews in the Silk Stocking Murder, but still managed to four star it.

Also, just checked out the Social Club stats and damn. Even though I five-starred Red Lip Stick Murder, I was still missing a POI and didn't ask some questions...interesting.

Anyway, this is the list of Mad Men cast that I have personally seen thus far:

Kenny Cosgrove
Peggy's Mother
Peggy's Sister
Paul Kinsey
Jimmy Berrett

Also, I am not 100% but I think that was Peggy outside of the bar for Marriage Made In Heaven.

Has anyone had any street crimes that didn't involve killing everyone?

Yes, several. Sometimes you can just injure them, but there have been some where you don't need a gun at all.

Good to know man, thanks. I've been so glued to solving cases I've only done a few of the side missions.

christ almighty how long is the Match stick house mission? Feels like I woke up in the hospital as Jack a week ago (I just finished the shootout at the hall of records)

Has anyone seen this? Link above is the first DLC that comes out June 21st.

Also, Gamestop buyers got "The Naked City". Any word on when we will be able to download "A Slip of the Tongue"? (Walmart exclusive)

Rockstar has a really good chance here to make this game great with the extra content...I really hope they don't charge too much though. A part of me wants them to take all of these extra cases and make a side game like Ballad of Gay Tony/The biker one/

You're at the near end of the game. That case and the following are kind of long and action packed

Does anybody have a favorite suit that they where?

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

I know I'm mile behind everyone else here, but I finally had a chance to play the first "real" case as a detective. Got 5 Stars and all the interrogations right. Lots of fun. I got sidetracked by about 4-5 street crimes

Spoiler

love the on with the wacko wearing the pot on his head

as well.

I started the next case also. Interrogations are a blast. My only hope is that as you get further along the people get harder to read. It's just a case and a half though, and from impressions here it sounds like things get more complex, so I'm not too worried or knocking the game or anything. Just feels like the training wheels are still on a bit is all.

Spoiler

It just seems like everyone who's lying has the same "tell"-their eyes shift. Conversely, it seems like when people tell the truth, they stare a hole through you...lol. I'm guessing there is more to it when you start getting more advanced cases.

Also, on the street crimes...

Spoiler

Can they be brought to a non-lethal end. A couple of mine were shootouts, so I assume there isn't really an alternative, but the crazy "cosmic rays" guy and the guy you chase until he grabs a hostage, is there a way you can simply arrest them?

trust me, things do get harder later on. people get harder to read and so on. people with shifty eyes are all of a sudden not automatically lying.

i also just had 1 street crime that did not end in bloodshed.

yes

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

Dude...the one guy in the Golden Butterfly case was tough for me. Yall know who I'm talking bout. Some people dont give good facial signs, their hints come from body movements. Play some more, you'll find some who are easy and you'll find some who are good liars.

trust me, things do get harder later on. people get harder to read and so on. people with shifty eyes are all of a sudden not automatically lying.

yes

Cool, thanks guys. I figured it wouldn't be all the same, it's just odd that the first two cases seemed so straightforward (in terms of reading people)

Spoiler

Thinking about it, it makes sense though...maybe the idea is these aren't hardcore criminal minds, so they give themselves away easier.

I was wondering about the street crimes because

Spoiler

certain obvious shootouts end with a cutscene of you calling it in, but others (like where you have to run someone down) you get the one with the body being loaded in the hearse...it just "feels" like a bad result. I dunno.

I read somewhere that you can sprint and tackle people when you get close, but I must have never gotten close enough as I've never had that option.

Also, a question about "A Marriage Made in Heaven"

Spoiler

I solved the case, found all the evidence, got 5 stars, etc. At the case report screen though, there's a note that says "Another visit to Ray's bar and you would have seen what Leroy was prepared to do to avoid jail."

Anyone know what that's about? It didn't impact the case outcome, but it intrigued me about what little nugget I might have missed out on.

[Redskinsfan26]

Last night, when I was ready to quit for the night, I decided to check out this film reel thing. Looked up the map on the social club, matched where I happened to be at that moment and went looking for the one that was closest to me. Searched for at least 20 minutes and never found it.

Maybe I just unluckily chose a very hard one for my first attempt. It was in a construction sight, I was up and down ladders, crossing wooden planks. All OVER the place.....I gave up.

I know right! I did the same thing and could never find one.

Just picked this up from Gamestop and got all the preorder incenitives since they had extra

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

Speculation after playing through White Shoe Murder

Spoiler

I get the feeling all these guys are set up, it all seems too easy, shady guys who will be standoffish with the cops who just happen to have a bloody murder weapon sitting around. One thing we haven't been given the option of investigating, all these women get drunk at a bar and it seems these bars always have a temp bartender, that struck me after the second murder case.

Done with Homicide

Spoiler

Looks like my instincts were right on the money, would have been nice to follow them before though.

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

Just became a traffic cop and started The Drivers Seat case. I think I've spent a 3rd of my time playing just driving and walking around checking out the sites. I've yet to stumble across a movie reel.

i have only had one street crime not end with me gunning down the suspect and i have done about 12 already.

about A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN

Spoiler

i got the same exact outcome as you with the same message in the case notes. i might play that one over and see what happen.

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

I'm willing to listen if anyone wants to try and talk me into getting this instead of an iPhone. The only catch is you have to be an excellent salesman.
