Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)
Sure I do...but that's sorta a stretch to compare it to a SP video game. I'm pretty sure the majority of humanity would call this game more repetitive than life itself.
Regardless if MP (In your Opinion) would work with this game, it would have made me buy it rather than rent it. I'll beat it, then get rid of it. Nothing to do after you've beaten it. Not baggin the game at all...it's gonna be a great SP experience, but after that...done.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)
I think that's a poor characterization of what most people would call repetitive in a game though. You listed broad generalizations of a typical day, but it's what happens (or what you do) within those parameters that can make things feel repetitive or boring.
A lot of people, for example would toss in a date night with the wife/GF instead of TV all the time, for a simple example. The overarching routine of each day might vary little, but the approach to each aspect can change.
The same can be said for games. I am a SP only type of guy (in part for reasons BK mentioned, but also because I am a story/substance over mechanics guy, and MP doesn't deliver well in that area as a rule) but that doesn't mean that I don't expect a bit of variety in my game play experience when it works.
An easy example (from a personal standpoint, obviously mileage may vary and all that) is Alan Wake. I enjoyed the story, but did not like the game. Why? The game play elements to move you from plot point to plot point felt so unvaried. Left alone in the dark, shine light, shoot, next. I felt like I was slogging through mindless repetitiveness in order to get to the payoff-the plot. I actually just gave up and read the plot summary so I didn't have to play through the game to get it. The mechanics weren't bad, it's just that they didn't vary much and there were long parts were it really just felt thrown in to move you to the next plot point.
In terms of LA Noire, I would not call having to question suspects and find clues repetitive as they are core aspects to what the game is trying to achieve. I will, however, find it repetitive if all the cases play out in a similar fashion or have similarly developed characters or focuses.
That's not to say that any of this will be the case. Personally, I can't wait to play the game. I just think you're looking at "repetitiveness" in a much broader respect than people who would typically make such a claim.Comment

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)
I already stated why I didn't want mp. MP games on the Internet bring out the worst in people. Whether it's a 12 yr old who's balls haven't dropped yet screaming obscenities in to the mic or some douche with Internet muscles spouting racial insults or some assbag glitching his way to success I just don't have the time nor the patience. At my age I get tired of people using the anonymity of the Internet to give them the courage to say things to me that they never would in real life.
MP games can suck it as far as I am concerned.
