L.A. Noire: Bringing A New Level Of Quality | Review (Hooked Gamers)

Two years ago, gamers didn’t think much of L.A. Noire. Its development was veiled in secrecy and shrouded in a toxic cloud of rumours. The game would have been redesigned from the start; the Houser brothers found it boring and refused to let it come out. It could have never become vapourware, a game that never sees the light of day. But then, it would have meant that you would have counted Rockstar out, well…the rock stars of the video game industry at least. These guys always deliver quality games and L.A. Noire is no different. It’s an enormous risk they took with a game that is way out of their comfort zone, but they delivered a very solid experience and a darn good hardboiled story.

Seems kinda funny/odd to say "Bringing A New Level Of Quality," and then giving it an 8.6.

Because that's obviously such a horrendous score :/

Try reading the article and you'll see where this line comes in and why the score is in place :)

I'm just saying, "A New Level Of Quality" implies a new yardstick by which to measure other games, a new perfect 10/10. An 8.6 isn't even an A-, it's a firm B...it's confusing, is all.

Graphics are not every thing other wise The Witcher 2 would gain only 10s on the PC.
It is by far the most cool looking game on the PC right now and only Crysys 2 can match it.
