L.a. Noire probably wont sell.

[bob1052]

It's a Rockstar game, I'm sure it will sell just fine.

Funny, Rockstar trying to make a story heavy game is exactly why I don't care for this game at all.

Wasn't Red Dead Redemption a story-heavy game? Just an honest question, but how did you feel about that one?

Mexico was the only part of the story that wasn't a pain to get through. Gameplay was fine if a little boring and repetitive.

This may be my fanboyism speaking here, but LA Noire is going to be game of the year. I can almost guarantee it.

Okay, no. Its good, I will give you that. Very very good, on any other year it would sweep the GOTYs. But 2011? This year? No, Uncharted 3 has that in the bag.

So long as they keep improving on what Uncharted is I totally agree.

Wow sir, tell me where you get your games from the future!

 

[EHKOS]

Well, I know I'm getting it. I like everything it's offering, so I'll try it out.

 

[Trogdor1138]

I've been looking more into it because it doesnt seem like a mindless shooter or sandbox game.

Same here, I've been really looking forward to it and I absolutely disliked GTA4.

This game will sell A LOT. Rockstar games always tend to and it has strong backing. I have no idea why anybody thinks it wouldn't...

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I am gonna get it and I think it will sell well GAME have been pushing it really hard to get people to preorder in my town.

 

[artanis_neravar]

Heavy Rain sold 2 Million copies, why wouldn't LA Noire sell?

 

[Zhukov]

I suspect that a lot of people will buy it on the assumption that it's basically GTA in the 40's.

Which it isn't. Apparently.

 

[Smooth Operator]

The sales only depend on homuch they spend in marketing.

If it's good or not is the other question, does seem to be bit of a let down with it's linearity but I'll be keeping my eyes on it, most likely still a buy.

 

[AndrewC]

It's going to sell perfectly well.

 

[ZeroMachine]

Oh, so much this.

There's a reason so many people think the game is made by Rockstar... it'll sell better than "A Team Bondi game".

After Red Dead Redemption, pretty much any game with the Rockstar name on it is going to sell at least relatively well.

 

[anthony87]

Wait....I'm an RPG fan. Shit, I guess this means I won't be buying LA Noire then.

Awful shame considering I was quite looking forward to it. Cheers OP, you saved me ?50-?60.

No, from previews. Basically, the way I've seen it described, LA Noire is super-mega-awesome, Skyrim is Double-Super-Mega-Awesome, and Uncharted 3 is Triple-Super-Mega-Awesome. So we can tell that, based on the current evidence, Uncharted 3 will be one and a half times as super mega awesome as Skyrim. Its just math - you can't argue with the math.

I disagree. Although I don't think that L.A. Noire will win game of the year (even if it does sell as well as I hope) I think Skyrim has more of a chance than Uncharted 3. It's a more well known name, and it isn't console exclusive. But, it's definitely between those two.

 

[Cenequus]

Actually LA Noir will probably sell to people that liked rockstar's games like red dead redemption and also to those that enjoyed Heavy Rain. And those crowds big enough for the game to be a success. I do realize they are different thnigs but it a crime/thriller is always worth the time.

 

[Hoplon]

I would love to buy it but Rockstar hate the PC so i am out of luck.

 

[TheDooD]

I won't be buying it. Maybe is my flawed impression, but it feels just like Mafia I and II--and I didn't get II either.

If tries something new and different, for the sake of the industry I hope it sells. Otherwise it can going in the 9.99 pile at Gamestop.

This is how a felt about LA Noire it seems the stories from that age just seem cheesy. I hope it sells well so we can get an new GTA but overall this game is something I'll watch a playthrough of instead of buying.

You two need to watch the videos for it. There's a huge difference.

someones trolling

How so, exactly? I've been worried about it myself. The marketing campaign for the game is nearly non-existent. Many people haven't heard of it until last week.

God dammit, some of you people need to learn the definition of trolling. And next time actually contribute to the thread.

 

[Alade]

LA Noire seems too much like Mafia to me, it will most likely sell as much as RDR did (maybe a bit less) but not as much as GTA 4 for sure.

I seen videos and ads its cheesy I just can't get into it.

Rockstar has become increasing skilled at crafting unique and enjoyable experiences. L.A. Noire well do just as well a RDR. RDR was a complete shot in the dark. At least Noire riding into town on the heels of a successful murder mystery game(Heavy Rain).

Besides as other have said it will do well simple because it is a Rockstar game.
