LA Noire: A Rockstar Title of Ambivalent Approach

Gaming Irresponsibly's Alex Spinelli writes: "The story is taking some huge inspiration from the days of the Black Dhalia murder, which I personally love. My question is, with such a troubling unsolved case as a part of the back story, how will the plot progress? Handling that mystery seems as if it would stunt the character development of the protagonist, considering how there was no closure to the event. Rockstar hasn’t failed in the past though, so I’m sure they won’t be pulling any punches."

cant wait for this....i was skeptical at first but then i thought this is kind of like a puzzle game and i love puzzle games

showtimefolks4726d ago

every case in this game will be a puzzle but poart of playing games is its suppose to be fun like how portal 2 is hard yet its a lot of fun too

i hope team bondi and rockstar can hit a sweet spot in la:n's investigation areas

I am huge a huge fan of DS games like Hotel Dusk, Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Professor Layton. Puzzling adventure games are something I really love, so I am 150% getting this game.

Oh and if you do own a DS, get Hotel Dusk: Room 217. It is a Noir game in the fasion of Heavy Rain/Trace Memory. Tons of puzzles to solve around a mystery set in the 70s. It's classic as hell and totally awesome.

This is basically bashing LA Noire for not being like GTA...? :/

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor13d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8513d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius13d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius13d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor13d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

One I never finished. I've been looking at the ps4 version off Amazon the last few months just never bit

Knightofelemia118d ago

It's worth playing LA Noire is one of my favorite Rockstar games. But I would also check out pawnshops or thrift stores if you want the game dirt cheap. Someone may have been dumb enough to dump the game.

andy85118d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88118d ago

100% agree... not perfect, but an engaging/refreshing experience.

sagapo118d ago

Agree, at time of release those facial expressions were amazing! They still hold strong even today imo.
The game on its own was good. Something fresh, but sidequests were a bit meh after a while.

Nacho_Z118d ago

I picked it up on sale recently, going to play it next summer. I'll get more out of it this time, first time around I treated the open world like it was GTA and goofed about, whereas now I'll play it with more respect. RDR2 has trained me well.

I also hadn't read Raymond Chandler at the time so presumably that'll add another layer of enjoyment too.

1nsomniac118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

Absolutely stunning game. So underrated. Played through it again last year and it still stands up so well. Like many of rockstars games it’s actually a far better experience on PC. I didn’t enjoy it as much on console. Completed it at least 3 times on pc.

The rumours of a sequel are awesome news despite the fact I think Rockstar are now the shell of the company they once were.

SyntheticForm118d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.

Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.

I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .

Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
