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

More from OXM UK Review:

• +Very meaty, very lengthy (took them about 30 hours to finish the main story, and took them around 40ish to complete everything)
  
• +Very cinematic, takes many cues from LA Confidential they said. Also according to the reviewer “A game that bridges cinema and the gaming universe.”
  
• +Motion Scan is the highlight for them, and the feeling of actually being a detective. They said no game comes close to the experience that they had with L.A Noire.
  
• +Great Narrative. In there opinion they said it has the dramatic, and cinematic storytelling of Heavy Rain, with the complexity of Metal Gear Solid, mixed with the length of Red Dead Redemption (but longer).
  
• +Excellent pacing. At first you start somewhat slow, but you quickly rise within the ranks. Once you finish the 30 hour **** you become attatched with the world, the characters, the cases. Not many games have done that for him (said the reviewer).
  
• -Gameplay is a bit clunky. If your fan of Red Dead, or GTA IV then the gameplay of LA Noire won’t feel out of place. That said, they were hoping for some advancement in this aspect.

I seriously can't wait any longer, man.

Spoiler

And if gameplay that's similar to GTA/RDR is their only issue, wow, this is going to be a hell of a game.

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

I've been anticipating this game so much that I've tried staying away from the PC at night in case information/videos pop up. Thank goodness I wasn't around when that video was still working. I'd be so weak and actually watch it.

Looking at the reviews and such if being similar to GTA/RDR is the biggest problem this game has then my mind is gonna be blown to bits playing this game!

I have a question. Will this game be available the moment the stores open on Tuesday or will I have to plan and wait for the UPS guy to drop it off.

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

It's interesting i've been perusing the net and there are people bitching about their unboxing videos being deleted and such. I'm also reading comments from people saying they're not going to buy the game because Take2 are taking down videos and such.

Somehow me thinks there wouldn't be this much pre-release grousing if this was a GTA game.

Anyways, just something i'm noticing at the moment.

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

If it can capture a narrative like Metal Gear Solid and play like Red Dead Redemption, I think we have a very special game on our hands. I can't wait for this game; fortunately I have a big weekend ahead. I'm graduating from college, I have tickets to see the Rangers tonight, and I'm helping to clean around the house and to help my brother get into college. By Tuesday, I'll be ready...

Going to misqoute you here but it kind of sums up the general sentiment this week before release. They need to have this "review" tagline on the box:

"I am glad I am getting this graduating college thing out of the way so I wont have anything distracting me on Tuesday."

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

Like LA Confidential?

SIGN ME THE HELL UP!

Only way this game could get me more excited is if there is a side mission where you can play as Ed Exley.

Not much was spoiled.. Just means I can move a little quicker in the beginning.. Definitely excited and anxiously awaiting Tuesday..

That is why I avoided the video. Don't want to rush through this. This could be an all-timer.

It'll probably save me 2mins of aimlessly walking.. I'm serious when I say pretty much nothing was spoiled.. No plot points.. Nothing serious..

Just shows a little gameplay and the game is looking and sounding great...

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

Oh ok. I might check it out then.

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

I don't even think I will save any time, the guy playing those 14 minutes wasn't very thorough.
