There is a mini impression from one poster (phoenix009) on Gamefaqs and his impression, is unfortunately, close to what I was fearing... that basically site investigation turns up to be just a series of on screen prompts and picking up objects which you rotate in hands. If that is really the case here, I am not that surprised that the novelty quickly wears off.
"Story is great and the characters are really well developed. The graphics are pretty good and the environment feels very immersive. That being said the gameplay is extremely repetitive and gets boring very quickly. You drive to the crime scene, collect clues, interrogate people, collect more clues, interrogate, chase down the bad guy and repeat all over again.The side missions are either a shoot out or another chase sequence. There is little incentive for exploring the city apart for looking at pretty landmarks, so the game becomes quit linear. Finding clues is far from hard and just involves walking around till you eventually feel a rumble. Its guesswork with no skill involved. The best part is the interrogations which can be tricky at times and involve some level of competence. Overall if it wasn't for the setting, and the great story to keep you playing to want to find out more, this game would be a complete chore and utter disappointment. I honestly expected better. Like having to solve puzzles instead of just picking objects up and putting them down. I'm a little over halfway through, so maybe it gets better but by the looks of things I'm not holding my breath."

Good on Rockstar and Justin TV for shutting these streams down, why anyone would want to pre-empt their own experience by watching someone else play on a shitty stream is beyond my comprehension!

On the other hand, from what I've been reading the rest of the cases have a decent degree of freedom for the player, you can interrogate a witness correctly and he'll tell you the next location or you can mess up and be forced to follow him instead, or finding the right solution with just the important clues. We'll see I guess...

can the rumble hints be turned off?
I haven't played it, so for all I know the game could get boring as hell after a few hours. But in a game trying to at least somewhat realistically depict the life of a cop, having the player go around solving puzzles sounds a bit silly.Stampy said:
Also, topic on Giant Bomb from someone with the game said something similar about just walking around waiting for the audio and vibration hints. Thing is, he said that totally changed once he turned off all the hints and actually had to scour the crime scene for himself.

Oh no. Not you again. I mean if there exists a stream i would always take a sneak peak but now with no stream i can't ruin my experience which is great and that is why i agree. You need a new hobby man stop stalking me.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but if clue detection is based on rumble, what does this mean for people still using Sixaxis? Do the PS3 system reqs specify DS3?

I've heard this somewhere before. Oh, that's right - it's what every dissenter and their mom says about every Rockstar game.

Disappointing, but i'm a huge noir fan and I think i'll get my money's worth just from the world, story and atmosphere in general. I loved Mafia 2 even though it was short and didn't have side stuff, this game should be at least twice as long so I don't think my money will be wasted.Stampy said:

This sounds exactly what I want. Hints being turned off it is!Fjordson said:

To me his opinion seems pretty objective. And although I believe that the interrogations will be awesome, the crime scene investigation is what worried me the most, and this first impression is not making things better. From that 15 minutes video you can already see that things could turn to be rather repetitive if the outline of the investigation doesn't change. It would be a bit disappointing if scene investigation just ends up being a series of prompts, be it on screen or with rumble, after which you rotate the object in question, while the game does all the work for yourself, like pointing out what is really important and what is not.

Yeah, definitely turning off all the possible cues for clues right off the bat. Don't want to turn this into a "Look for the rumble and/or music" type of situation.
