1940's detective game from Rockstar. I honestly haven't delved that much into the background of it but that video certainly makes me interested.

Rockstar has really delivered some great games in the past. This looks great. If the actual gameplay is like Read Dead/GTA I'll probably purchase this one.

Yeah I've had my eye on this for a while, and I can see the justification of delaying the release. I'd rather have this type of game get it right and I wait then rush it out. After watching that video, my want for this game has gone up 1000x

L.A. Noire the following week that also has a $20 gift card, meaning the next game I get should be pretty close to free.

Damn man, sorry to hear. Good luck on finding a new one.

Yeah I knew I was going to have to find a new one. My current firm only has offices in New England so when my wife matched at M.D. Anderson I knew I would have to find a new job. It's not to the point of "panic mode" yet. I have had one interview (I have a call back/2nd interview with that firm in Houston on Friday) and I have another interview/meeting with another firm the week after.

My biggest "problem" is that my application for admission to the Texas bar without examination (my 5th state) is still pending and with allot of firms I am of no value if I cannot appear in court, attend depositions, etc...

However, the firm I am having a 2nd interview with has a pretty "national" practice and they were interested in me mostly b/c of all of the states I am still licensed in (Missouri; Illinois; Massachusetts; Rhode Island and eventually Texas). REALLY hoping that interview turns into an offer but I am not the type to count my chickens before the eggs hatch so no sense purchasing video games when I MAY be unemployed in a little over a month.

I never even got past the 4th or 5th chapter. That's one series I've grown completely tired of. Besides, beating those games on Veteran is such a pain in the ass.

Anyway, I'm excited about L.A. Noire. Between this, Brink, and inFAMOUS 2...I should be getting NCAA '12 for free. Of course, that's the one game I can get every year the Friday before release, so that creates a dilemma. Fork over $65 and get the game 5 days early or pay nothing and get it on release day? Decisions, decisions...

Just not sure about this game. Rockstar hasn't exactly made any games that I've liked (I just simply do not like GTA games and, while the setting was amazing for Red Dead Redemption, the gameplay left me wanting) so I'm weary about this game as well. I'll probably check it out one of these days though.

It could depend on where it's shipping from for you. Anything I order from Amazon, it always comes from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, or Kentucky. So my orders usually ship pretty early. If your stuff gets shipped from a distribution center very close by to you, it might not show up as shipping until late tonight or sometime overnight, as they wouldn't have far to transfer it over to UPS or USPS.

Wow, I'm surprised your game is getting shipped from Kansas. I figured if anywhere, it would have been Chattanooga. But yeah, Amazon takes a long time to update their info. As soon as the initial update is made and the tracking numbers for UPS or USPS is added on Amazon, I just go to the UPS site and track it from there since they have real time tracking. Amazon can take anywhere from an hour to over 8 or 12 hours to update their site in my personal experience in the past.

And you shouldn't have to sign for it. I've always had any UPS deliveries that come when I'm not home, the UPS guy just places them at the back door and goes back to doing his route.

I'm still pretty early in the game, but so far it's a lot of fun. Working on the various cases, searching for clues. I love interviewing witnesses and interrogating suspects. Trying to read their faces and see if they show signs of lying or giving false or half information, it's fun. As DariusLock said, the realistic views of the characters faces, the technology they used for the moving the muscles, the lips, etc, it really is like standing there talking to a real person.

It doesn't show in gift card balance. You have to actually put something in your cart, go through check out until you get to the point where it asks you to enter payment information, and then it should say "Use $15 promotional credit," and it gives you the option to use it or not.

One of you guys hurry up and beat it so you can tell me if it was worth it and also about how long it took you. Also, is it GTA style?

It's GTA style in that the world is open, if you don't want to head straight to your assignment/case you can cruise around L.A. There are not a bunch of shops and you don't need money in the game. To me it's GTA but at a slower pace and you're on the law's side...you can force citizens out of their rides and all the GTA stuff...

The characters and their faces and the interviews are what make this such an awesome game tho. It's a lot like Heavy Rain in the interview parts which I think is cool. If you like this game I recommend Heavy Rain btw.

Are there any repercussions for carjacking someone? Can you just fire your gun willy-nilly up & down the street?

I've only really done that when I'm in the middle of a mission. I'll check it out in-depth later on and get back to you. I know when you run over civilians a message pops up saying something about the LAPD is suppose to protect and serve and it affects your overall mission score.

UPDATE: Ok. Whenever you jack a vehicle you show your badge and the people usually just hand it over and say something crazy like this one lady told me to "Drive carefully!" Also whenever you are running around the city you can't pull out your gun, I guess they don't want you running around L.A. guns a blazing. They are trying to make you feel like the young, dedicated, and smart cop.

Good. Sounds like they're kinda railroading you a bit, but, at the same time, letting you experience the game world's open areas. Sounds a lot like The Godfather actually (without the cool aspects of taking down the other mobs, taking over shops for money, etc).

Nice! I think you'll like it, it's a great game. Rockstar has definitely set the standard with their facial capture technology. It is just incredible. And my advice, pay very close attention to the faces, the eyes, the mouths, and the movements of the heads as you interview and interrogate people, both while they're talking, and for a couple moments after they finish talking/answering. Some people you can instantly tell whether they're telling the truth or lying, some others, it's difficult to get an exact fix on whether they're being honest or not and you have to really watch their movements for hints as to whether they're lying or holding something back.

Yeah, I like that as well. You can screw up on some of the questions, or maybe miss a piece of evidence or two, and still manage to piece things together to complete the case.

Cool. Thanks for the tips!

No problem! Also, do NOT jump to conclusions and don't get ahead of the evidence! One of the cases early on, I had myself convinced and was positive that it was one person responsible for the crime, and then it turns out they had absolutely nothing and it was someone else who was guilty. Because everything originally pointed to the first person, that completely screwed me when it came to questioning them because I was basing my questions on the view of them being guilty and trying to lie their way out of it.

Not that I know of. Most times they fire the first shot and once it gets to that level the officer can use any means necessary.

From my experience, the street crimes seem to be straight up pass or fail. So if you don't get a fail screen for shooting at and killing the guy, then you're fine.

The game is no doubt fun if you love detective work and games like that. It's more of a slower paced game and some may not like it but I am one that can sit back and watch all the interviews and stuff and be entertained. Then I'll just walk around and look for clues and not rush...I'm usually not one that likes a slow game so that just says something about L.A. Noire.

As much as I suck, I have only killed one person with my car so far :D But I average about $1700 in car damage per case :D which is A LOT in the 40's, but hell just raise taxes.

And it was during a f'n chase where the criminal drove on the sidewalk, and back onto the street....so the damn pedestrian juked out onto the street and kaplam!

Yes sir. This game is hard as well to do perfect on...which frustrates me! I think I have someone so figured out that they are withholding information from me, only to find out they were telling the truth. I usually hit 3/4 unless it's the first interview and it's like one or two questions and I ace them.

Hard to do, however, I am starting to understand the difference between doubt and lie type questions. I also got dropped down a notch on one investiagation due to car damage over $2,000. Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, just got to the Vice Squad missions. The only thing that I wish they would have included in the game is a bit of an investigation synopsis, or cut scene summary of the after effects of the investigation.. For example in the mission related to the Intolerance movie set, I wish there was a summary scene to see what happened to the niece and if she got back with her family. (Trying not to give too much away)

Yeah, I think cut scenes in the court room with the DA using evidence you gathered to put guys away or either you didn't get enough evidence or enough info and the guy gets off. That could be really cool and add a lot to the experience.

Yeah, try to be careful when driving. City damage, vehicle damage, and personal injury costs (running over citizens) all dock your final case rating. I don't know where the cut off point is between say 5 star and 4 star, but too much damage will ruin your score, as much as dropping you all the way down to 1 star if you rack up tens of thousands of dollars of damage.

Pre-order DLC has just been released on Xbox Live, along with the Rockstar Pass.

If you buy the Rockstar Pass for 800 MSP (until June 14th, when the price will then increase), you get the following:


-The Broderick Detective Suit
-The Sharpshooter Detective Suit
-The Badge Pursuit Challenge & Button Man Suit
-The Naked City Vice Case
-A Slip Of The Tongue Traffic Case
-Nicholson Electroplating Arson Case (releasing June 21st)
-Reefer Madness Vice Case (releasing July 12th)

If you plan on buying all of the DLC cases listed, the Rockstar Pass is the smart choice. The DLC cases alone are going for 320 MSP, so you're looking at 1280 MSP just for the three DLC cases that were pre-order bonuses and the Reefer Madness case that has now been announced. If you include the additional suits and the Badge Pursuit Challenge, everything, if bought separately, adds up to 1600 MSP. So you're getting everything for essentially half off if you get the Rockstar Pass between now and June 14th.

Understandable man. There were a LOT of things they could have done better and could have changed or worked on to make it more enjoyable. But for the game it is, and the different route they tried to go with it, I'm willing to overlook the issues and things that aren't great and enjoy the game.

Yeah, I was going to dive into it and play through the case this morning, unfortunately got side tracked, and then with UPS having me on the early route today instead of the usual late route, I got a hold of NCAA before 1:30, instead of the usual 4:30 or 5.

Blew their load on a game that, while having an interesting new technology, has too many faults to be a huge hit (and not mainstream enough gameplay to make up for it).
