L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

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

Not sure if this had been debunked but somewhere, I heard this game is 80-20 Cinematics/Gameplay


God, I hope that's not true.

Nooo it's 80% adventure and 20% "tradtional" gameplay. Which is why I mentioned that because I saw some people expecting a GTA type thing when they should be expecting a Heavy Rain type thing.

Good to see my local Gamestop are still idiots. I tried trading the 2 games for $50 and they didn't know anything about said deal. After 5 minutes of frustration telling them that the deal is on there website I left. Back to not dealing with Gamestop and sticking to Amazon.

Yeah Amazon is way better, plus if you have Prime you always get free release day shipping.

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

Here's how the pre-order deals are working in Canada. Not sure if this is all of them though:

-EB/Gamestop has The Naked City case and some Badge Challenge thing (I'm guessing it's this game's version of hidden packages).

-Best Buy has the sharpshooter suit.

-Wal-Mart has the A Slip of the Tongue case.

Who played the police quest games? I somewhat remember chasing down Bains but that was 20 years ago. Typing unlock door and such not even mouse clicking but text driven.

How about Mean Streets/Tex Murphy games? I loved those games but remember spending more time freeing up dos memory trying to get the game to run than actually playing.

Other than those 2 series I don't remember playing too many detective games. What other detective games does anyone remember?

The Police Quest games were awesome.

The ones at my Gamestop were clueless as well. They finally figured out that they had to scan the barcode on the L.A. Noire flyer. I figured I'd get 50 bucks towards the game. On the contrary. I had to pay the remainder of the game off on sight. Luckily I had my card on me.

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

So Saturday morning my xbox decides to give me the red ring of death.

It is getting fixed for free under the extended warranty but it still sucks.

Looks like im going to be watching from the sidelines until my 360 is fixed

Didn't get in on the trade-in deal for L.A. Noire b/c of Mother's Day stuff, so I'm just gonna have to find a way to pay the rest of L.A. Noire off before the 17th and I might trade SvR and FIFA to Amazon ($30 a piece) for NCAA or Madden.

By the time I get my money it'll probably be too late for pre-orders which is sad as I'd like to take advantage of the EB package.

Oh well, I shall be eagerly anticipating having this game in my hands.

Went ahead and went with the PS3 version over 360.

My Gamestop didn't bring up the $50 towards LA Noire, but instead game me some other deal.

Ended up getting $83.70 for three games.

SPTO you could always pre-order at EB/Gamestop by putting down the minimum $5 to hold your game and bonuses then come back and pay for it whenever you get the money. It's not a requirement of a pre-order that you pick it up day of release or even week of. I don't think it really even matters to them as long as they get credit for the orders for each individual store. So if you want to get the bonuses but won't have the full money come release day I'd recommend to just go ahead and put in your order, if your funds allow, and pay it off when you can.

That sounds like a pretty good deal B. Was there a specific deal or anything that you remember for the $80?

They have a trade-in 3 games, get an extra $10, going on now till the end of the month. Maybe it was part of that. That had to be some pretty recent games to get that kinda scratch outa them though.
