L.A. Noire – A potentially great concept foiled by poor design

TVGB: L.A. Noire is an egregiously hollow experience. I’d like to say that it helps bridge the gap between gameplay and story, but it clearly does not do anything of the sort. I’d like to say the impressive facial animations instantly make you forget you’re playing a game, but they certainly do not. What the game tries to accomplish is in vain due to the poor choices made on the design side.

LA Noire puzzles me, they went to extraordinary lengths to create LA in painstaking detail but you could do nothing in it only drive around and take note of a few landmarks. Confusing design choice and kind of a wasted opportunity

OMEGAZONE4486d ago

I don't think L.A Noir was ever designed with a future in mind. I still think it was made as a tech demo to show investors it's worth parting with their money for. Im certain we will be seeing this facial technology used in GrandTheftAutoV.

xPhearR3dx4486d ago

From the looks of the character models in the trailer. I highly doubt it.

jc485734486d ago

I felt Heavy Rain had a lot more going than LA Noire. It's an ok game, but it's not something I would recommend right off the top type of game. There are times I feel this game is getting way too much praise.

Yui_Suzumiya4486d ago

If anything, GTA could learn a thing or two from L.A. Noire. L.A. Noire is immersive and fun while GTA is a boring, glorified driving sim.

Raider694486d ago (Edited 4486d ago )

You are comparing LA NOIRE to GT5 the driving simulation game or calling GTA a driving simulation game!??Get real!Even comparing it to GTA4 or any GTA game to LA NOIRE its nonsense,but comparing it to a driving simulation game or calling GTA4 or any GTA game .... a driving sim its something out of this world and plain stupidity!So for you GTA its a glorified driving sim.Thats new to me.

Yui_Suzumiya4486d ago

Yeah. I've tried getying into GTA IV on many occassions and each time was the most boring time I've ever had with a game in 20 years. I spent the majority of playtime just driving people around. At least in L.A. Noire they give an option to allow the other person to drive so you can skip to your destination.

ilovemyps34486d ago

several times i almost clicked on "confirm buy", on psn+.
because it's quite cheap.
but i read a lot of reviews, and i'm not sure if i will enjoy the game. while i really liked heavy rain, l.a. noire make me feel like i'm gonna spend countless hours searching this, and that, always at the opposite place in the map, just to make the game last xx hours.
right now, there are so many great games i'm discovering and playing, like arkham city, it's not the best time to buy la noire. maybe one day, if there's nothing to play.

have anyone played it ? was it fun and interesting, to play ?

Raider694486d ago (Edited 4486d ago )

If want to be a Sherlock Holmes for a couple of hours,you can get some amusement from LA NOIRE.Its all in the details just like a good Sherlock movie.

Yui_Suzumiya4486d ago

One of the top 5 games of 2011. If you don't find Batman boring (which I do) then you'll definitely enjoy L.A. Noire.

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."

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

12 Years Later, L.A. Noire is Still an Excellent Experience

There was a lot to love about Rockstar and Team Bondi's 2011 open world title.

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

Knightofelemia117d 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 .
