Glorious Escapism Roleplay

The mutant 0408 · Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 2:09 pm Post subject: L.A. Noire

A detective game from Rockstar.

It lets you test your skills as a detective as you search for clues and interrogate people.

It's a pretty amazing game. It felt like I was reading a book. Its different from every game I've ever played and I think that thats a good thing.

Anyway, anyone else play this?

I have not but I must say that knowing it comes from Rockstar does not inspire me to play it. Other games they have made....I dont know they just looked kind of...cheep. Well at least the Warriors one did.

The only time I've even heard of this before is when Yahtzee reviewed and that certainly wasn't very encouraging.

So yeah, I don't really know anything about it. And with as many games as I have lying around, it's probably better I don't try and find out about it.

Having actually see the game play for extended periods, I would say this is quite an engrossing game. I would also say that Yahzee is one of the least-reliable things on the Internet you can ever watch.

I don't watch Yahtzee for a reliable opinion. I've bought games he's hated before, twice in fact. He's pretty much just a comedian to me. I was just saying that his review of this was the only place I had ever heard of it before.

Then why would you take an opinion from Yahtzee on L.A. Confidential at all?

I wasn't saying that I had any opinion of it. I just said that his review wasn't very encouraging, not that I agreed with that review. It would be silly to agree with the review without having played the game. I still don't know enough about the game to have any real opinion of it.

When you say it is not encouraging you sound like you agree with it.

I suppose I can see where it might come off like that.

I probably should have just left the bit about his review not being encouraging entirely since the point of my post was to express that while I had heard of the game I didn't know much of anything about it.

Well if my opinion matters much, it is a very good and engrossing game. I've done all the cases usually getting 4 stars, with the occaisional 5.
