Not to be a dick but you people should kinda stop talking about the ending or at least stop saying how its like that "other game". It kinda ruins the fucking ending REAL quick if you've played both games, just sayin'. It was over all a really good game, a real contender for the GotY award this year. Just gotta finish the damn cars and film reels (Damn Rockstar and their collectables...lol

).

No.

This is a repetitive, drawn out, better rendered, sandbox version of the CSI games. It's like CSI and RDR had a baby. Not a bad game, not unenjoyable, but not a REAL contender for GOTY. I dread finishing it as well, because I've yet to play a R* game with a decent ending. Of course it may WIN GOTY because R* has some deep pockets.

How can you (or anyone) say no, when you haven't even completed the story? Even if you think someones ruined it, there is still twists that you don't see coming. To say that its not a GotY contender and finished it sure that would be an opinion, but to say it and not finished it is kinda of a silly statement.

An outta what I've played so far this year, it to me is probably gonna be one of the four/five games on the GotY ballet, follow by Gears 3, MW3, and Skyrim if I had to guess due to the fan base all three have. Also, whats the point in paying off the award as you imply? :confused:

:confused:

I'd see Activision or EA being more inclined to doing that since they've lost pretty much all morals...lol :laugh:

I actually really enjoyed this game. It may not be a run and gun and be a gangster and shoot everyone game but it is very interesting. If you enjoy "reading and paying attention to the story line" then you will have no problem playing this. On another note I just purchased the Rockstar Pass and it is well worth it you Get almost every DLC for free once you do. Its very similar to the Battlefield online pass.

Just had a lot of fun going for the Public Menace achievement which was for $47,000 worth of damage in a single case. Your partner starts to get really pissed when you get up there in damage amounts. Especially when I jumped an ambulance off of a hillside and landed so hard it exploded and sent the four wheels flying off in every direction.

Really? If I tell you that I'm making you the most awesome, innovative dinner you've ever had, and hype it up for months, then you come over and I serve you a McDonalds burger with some parsley around it, and every other bite tastes literally like shit- do you need to finish that burger to realize it's not the best thing you've ever eaten- or even eaten that day????

I'm bored with this game, and I'm only at the vice desk. Regardless of if the arson desk is THE BEST DESK IN THE GAME AND TOTALLY BLOWS MY MIND, when I'm done, I'm going to remember that boredom. And 1/2 the people in this thread- 1/2 the reviews I've read have used the words boring, repetitive or monotonous to describe the game. It's NOT a bad game, there's a lot of fun to it- it's just one more game that Rockstar overhyped and couldn't produce a game that lived up to it. This has been what I've said about them since GTA4! They put out a solid 8.5-9 game, and hype it to be an 11.

And yes, considering Rockstar has NEVER produced a game that deserved a perfect 10 rating, yet has consistently recieved them, plus GOTY nods, absolutely do I believe there's bribery going on. If a smaller developer like Reality Pump can afford to pay for reviews and has the pull in the industry to blacklist reviewers that don't give them what they want, how would a big name like Rockstar not be able to??? And why would EA have to? They have their name on almost everything- and regardless of how crappy they treat their customers, people keep throwing money at them and buying their games without thought of anything else. EA's in a different class completely from Rockstar.

Well I guess it'd depend on if there was dessert after the burger, like a Oreo Mcflurry, hell yeah I'd finish that over hype shitty burger of yours.

...lol j/k

:laugh:

I understand where your coming from with saying it can get boring. I felt that the game wasn't gonna be one that people either really liked or really didn't but just to help with your pain, if your on the Vice desk, you only have 3 cases there and Arson only has like 5 and thats it. So your almost there.

You can do it, fight the boredom!

The EA jab was just a little joke cause of how they have their hand in like everything you can think of and the EA Pass they've pushed to get started kinda pushed me to lose a little love for them. Seems like now other companies are doing it as well and its kinda lame. Everybody trying to make more money I guess. :rolleyes:

I didn't even think about the detective in the game working vice...

I might have to rent this sooner rather than later. Mmm, vice.

LA Noire was fun as hell for like 8 hours. I was addicted as fuck. I beat the game a day after release. But once I got to disk 3... it dawned on me. This.game.is.boring. Fun SOMETIMES.... but boring. I actually felt sick playing it and had to push myself to finish the story.

I probably wont ever touch this game again (might get a few DLC's WAY down the line), but I wont get rid of it either.

I give it a 7. Wont win game of the year, and wont even be nominated in my opinion... not with the line up of other games coming out this year.

Yes, it may be boring at times but we all knew what we were getting into with this game. We've been reading for over two years how this was gonna be different from any Rockstar game to date. We all knew it would be heavy with story and dialogue due to constant interviewing and interrogations. I'm not preaching GOTY but I'm getting exactly what I expected out of this game.

I am finally going to have time to fire this game up this weekend. I have been waiting for some free time to play this one, so that I may invest some serious hours into it.

@Irish- to me, story heavy and dialogue driven isn't the problem. I LOVE that in games. I wasn't looking for another GTA clone. In fact, the opposite is my problem with it. It's too much like every other Rockstar game (boring repetitiveness is a common theme with their games, IMO). I wanted to feel like I was playing through a Dashiell Hammett novel playing this game, and I just don't. The language, the mannerisms, it's all so modern day.

I do love the setting, though. I'm bugging Evol for a LA trip to check out some of the historic landmarks in the game.

I'll agree they probably could've put a little more time and thought into the script. I'm just curious what happened to the narrator? O_o

O_o

He was there at the beginning and then just disappeared after the first couple cases. He was a hoot!
