Ugh just got this as a gift today for PS3 and then I see the PC version announcement. Oh well, at least it was a gift.

Just fired this up again. I stopped mid play through because my girlfriend took over the xbox with dragon age II

It's available on OnLive (Complete edition). However, there is no demo and Rockstar requested that OnLive disable user spectating, which sucks because I want see how the game runs on there.

So how does this game hold up? I recall a huge flow in interest after launch. Is it worth $50 or should I just wait for a steam sale?

Just finished it today. Really enjoyed it, inspite of some faults, and hope Rockstar makes a sequel or atleast uses this engine again. I'd take a future noir game. The engine would work well for a lovecraftian horror game too.
Also really wish The Consul's Car was out for the 360. The PC version has it, about time it's on all platforms.

Understand it runs fine, but that people aren't able to launch the steam version of the game. Retail seems to be launching fine.
It's downloading at my apartment right now, so when I get off work in a few hours I'll find out myself and report back.

Looks like ass and runs like ass. It's really one ugly mess on pc and even when you put on max AA there's aliasing everywhere, from the little I bothered so far it seems as bad as the GTA4 port before the patches.

How about having a studio of PCporting, competent people? Also if you were going bother to port a game, why didn't you chose Red De.. ah, forget it.

Runs fine and looks good for me (maxed settings at 1920x1080). My setup is:WoodenLung said:
- Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
- i5-2500 3.3GHz
- MSI Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr II OC 810MHZ 2GB
- 8GB G.Skillz MEM
- Green Man Gaming version downloaded through Capsule
I can't get MSI Afterburner or FRAPS to display the FPS but it's between 30 and 60. It's pretty fluid.
Here's some screens I've taken using Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/molsonwarrior/screenshots/?tab=&showdate=1&filter=shortcut_26033
edit friend of mine that has 2x6950 was having issues. He had to disable crossfire in order for the game to run properly. Seems to always be the case though and I'm sure AMD will release some crossfire drivers/support soon. It's tough to get the word out though with the Steam forums being down.

Hmm maybe they got issues with certain cards, I only got one GTX 570, no dual stuff crapping up on me just the game stuttering quite a lot at times. It really looks like ass though, this is from the hi res screenshot thread and looks like what I am seeing, this is how it looks like on the highest, also shows pretty well how useless the AA is :
and this is on the lowest.
There's barely a fucking difference, some small ones but nothing that makes it much better looking.

Decided to take a break from Skyrim and give L.A. Noire a shot, can't even launch the game, not even after trying these suggested fixes...
http://support.rockstargames.com/en...sing-in-the-steam-version-of-l-a-noire-for-pc
I know this much, I won't be buying another Rockstar PC game at launch, the quality of their ports is atrocious, and I may be seeking my first refund from Valve/Steam.
Edit: Finally got it to run by changing the Steam.exe to be Run by Admin. Can't recall exactly why I'm somewhat reticent to have this option on, I have once in the past and changed it back for reasons I can't recall.
Now to deal with Rockstar's asinine, superfluous account bullshit.

Just finished the game.
It's really insane how bad it was. The facial animations was pretty much the only nice thing about it. The combat was awful, the cases 100% linear and impossible to fail in. Zero difficulty level. Retarded puzzles that doesn't require any mental thought (like the "please insert these numbers here" puzzles).
I really can't understand how this can have close to 90% on metacritics. Other than the graphics, this was truly an awful game.

yeah agree on the game,story was complete and utter bullshit, the cases and what happen within them and how the game try to tell you it's not the criminal is beyond stupid (for example a dude ran away from the cops and made himself a suspect for a stupid reason like the possibility of having a small penis? really McNamara?wtf is wrong with you )the "gameplay" is you can call that a gameplay is really crap, shooting are absolutely bad, driving is awful, town is soulless and dead as a rotten corpse.
It's one of the worst games I have played this entire gen.
Rockstar logo on the cover did that most likely, the metacritic and even the sales ( not deserved at all imho) this game got is just make me sad and really tell about why reviewers are the industry biggest joke these days.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Just started playing. I don't see much wrong with the driving or shooting. The latter seems to be an improvement over GTA even. I will see how I like the rest of it soon enough I guess but so far the presentation and atmosphere is nice except for that intuition stuff. Like a what if Mafia 2 was a point & click adventure instead of what it was.

My only complaint is that the game didn't encourage you whatsoever to explore the vast world. The game was a 90% faithful recreation of 1947 Los Angeles, yet the game was so linear you don't get to take in any of that. I played through the game 3 times and still didn't feel like I knew anything about the game world.

It is hard to take a post like that seriously. If it was 'insane how bad it was' . . . then why did you play it to completion? Are you a masochist?buffi said:
speculawyer said:
Well the question is not for me but I played this "insanely bad game" to completion because it's just a habit really,I complete most (if not all)of the games I play even really bad ones like this game.Also so no one tell that I didn't complete it criticize and because of that I can't critic the game in gaming forums( no seriously ) .
After playing some more I really get the impression that the people who hated it, hate it for what it isn't, i.e. GTA, instead of what it is: an adventure game that just uses a GTA-type world as a backdrop.
Have you considered that maybe they did like the game? Your reaction seems a tad overblown.
The shooting and driving and the other gameplay is mechanically no worse than in GTA, but really all the gameplay is in service of the story and presentation which I guess some people don't like.

ArjanN said:
The issue about this as an adventure game is mostly that it's 100% linear without difficulty, which means that it will have to rely only on it's story. The story is basically a waaaay to long, rather bad movie.
buffi said:
Well I think it's similar to old school point and click adventure games, which are also 100% linear and I think they kept the difficulty low to keep the pace up. I'm not done yet, so I can't comment on the story as a whole, but for me the face tech, excelllent performances and setting make up for the basic but serviceable gameplay.

This game reminds me of old point and click games. I'm still enjoying it. I'm almost done with the vice desk.
I think a lot of people liked this game because it's a pretty unique experience, and if anything, it shows that there's an audience for this kind of game. It's a very unique experience, and I'm happy I've gotten to play it.
There are definitely some missteps but the implications of where a game like this could go is really interesting. I really hope there's a sequel, even with Team Bondi gone. There's a ton of potential here that wasn't explored in the game.
And buffi, Superman 64 is a bad game. Kabuki Warriors is a bad game. X-men for the NES is a bad game. L.A. Noire is not. It might not be to your tastes, and it may not be your style of game, but to say it was "insanely bad" is just stupid.

It gets reptitive, which is understandable. There isn't much to how the game works, which sucks, but I've found that when I play it a case or two at a time it's a great experience.

The game is a good showpiece for the facial capture technology, and that is IT, but in terms of actual gameplay it's really not that good, it's repetitive as fuck, it's like a cake with no taste, it's nicely decorated, it has many layers but it's completely and utterly bland, I wouldn't say it's insanely bad, it's pretty mediocre and probably not worth a buy.
That said, the facial tech is pretty fucking cool for like the first few cases, even though I'm pretty sick of Aaron Staton at this point.

Well, sorry you didn't like it. I think anyone can see that L.A. Noire doesn't belong in the same league as a game like Superman 64. There are truly bad games out there, and this isn't one of them. It may not play to peoples' tastes, but that's how things work. I'm glad it's not generic first person shooter 37 or some crazy sequel. Props have to be given because this game is different compared to most anything out on consoles this gen.
I'm still having a blast with it, but I don't power through games like most people here seem to so the games flaws might be as glaring to me as a person who went through the first 16 cases in one night. My time is limited with family and things like that, so being able to play this game a case or two a night, and it's a very fun experience. There are things that aren't fun anymore, like the car chases, but for the most part, I've really enjoyed this game. I'm hoping to have it beat after thanksgiving. I just hit the arson desk.
Maybe I missed something but what caused Cole to
fuck that german broad? Granted, I took a break from the game cause my girl took over the xbox, but I don't remember her at all, and having Cole just roll up and hit it didn't make a lot of sense to me

Nothing specifically,

I agree, but only because I wouldn't call it a game at all.

Just like Phoenix Wright isn't a "game" or Metal Gear Solid 2 was a movie that had sections where you moved a guy around and shot people.
So this game is now $20 on Amazon. Impressions? I like a good adventure game but I don't have a very good history with Rockstar games on consoles - I absolutely hate GTA's controls. What's the action/adventure balance here? Also, is the PC port really as horrible as I've heard? Bad enough to where I should just get the PS3 version?
Edit: oh, and Amazon is indeed selling the complete edition on sale right?
