L.A. Noire

    Just finished it.

    Even if the last couple of hours did fall a bit apart for me, then I'd still say that

    it's one of the most memorable and engrossing game experiences that I've had to date. Got some serious highs when things were rolling and were totally into the the cases. One thing that did bug me a little were the parts where you physically walk around and gather evidence. I think the purpose is absolutely essential to the game, but the act of wall hugging your way around crime scenes while listening for your cue feels a bit undercooked to me. Another thing that bugged me in the beginning was the interrogation parts where I'd feel like I couldn't tell their bluff, but after slowing down a bit I started getting way better at it. Doesn't change the fact that you'll sometimes fuck it up but that's also part of the charm of it I guess. And dammit their chases are awesome!

    I'm also interested in seeing how I'll react once I get back to a game without this kind of performance capture. I bet it's kinda like the high res displays on phones these days; In no time you won't pay much attention to it, until you see the old version

    Oh and looking at the city I'd say this is the perfect game for massive amounts of DLC, hope they deliver!

    City isn't as much a great place to explore as a free roaming game, but it's the perfect canvas to create new cases and experiences I reckon.

    I'm at about 50% completion and it's starting to weigh on me a bit. Doesn't help that I've failed the majority of the questioning sections for the last 2 or 3 cases. Really is a kick in the balls when that chime fails to play after an answer. Never did I think I'd find myself raging at this game.

    It's good though. Probably just have to lay off it for a couple days.

    I think the animation clashes. With many other games you do not notice it, but when one part of the face or body is expressed very well and the other stiff it looks very odd. Plus the faces don't look nearly as detailed as in other triple A titles.

    it's noticeable here and there, but some of the actors do a really good job at it where you couldn't tell at all. actually, i'd say most of them do. The faces aren't as detailed as in certain other games, but the animations are unmatched. I'd take a poorly detailed face over poor animations any day.

    i expected nothing from this game and i already consider it one of my favorite games. really, really good script too.

    I havent played this yet, but from the videos, I also feel this.

    It's like an average photoshop attempt to put a realistic face on top of a weird human model. Uncalley valley is strong on this one.

    Playing this atm, pretty awesome overall, completely unexpected In regards to the facial animations it indeed sometimes seems as if the face was glued to the body but its not as distracting as i thought it would be. Writing/dialogue is top notch though.

    Having a blast.

    don't you say whoa around here son.

    So they show off a detailed bloody corpse, but blur out the word "fuck"

    I believe that blur is from the vid, not from the game.
