Twas me, and yeah, it must just be in the UK. We aren't getting much of it here. Maybe it's just my area of the states? Ah, well, glad to see it's getting a lot of attention over there.chris_ninety1 said:

I'm waiting on a review. Or a demo (unlikely).
It basically comes down to whether or not there are multiple endings to the investigations. I want to be able to screw up an investigation and still continue the story. Otherwise it just becomes a glorified scavenger hunt.
It's the difference between an interactive detective drama and modernization of the classic adventure game. I don't want to have to sit there rubbing every bit of evidence in every witness' face until it lets me continue. Let me experiment. Let me screw up.

That's EDIT: most likely the case. There are multiple outcomes to most, if not all cases, if sources are to be believed.Krantos said:
Yep, what you said wasn't opinionated what so ever, so it must be true. Plus, watching trailers is pretty much the same thing as playing the game. I guess your math holds up.OutrageousEmu said:
On a side note, I can't wait for Uncharted 3... to bad I don't own a PS3.
Your a cop/detective in the 1940's in LA who has to solve lots of bloody crime by finding evidence, questioning witnesses, and putting the clues together. While their will be shooting, you can't just gun down half the city like in GTA/Red Dead, only when a gun is pulled on you will you be able to shoot. Your going to be given tons of cases as you move up through five departments of the LAPD.Simple Bluff said:
While your point is still valid, the fact it is being made by Rockstar, a well known company with an established fan base, it should bring in sales just from that. Predicting what will do well and what will flop is often a pointless endeavor.rolfwesselius said:

i have this game pre-ordered and paid off i just need to walk in and pick it up, the premise, and time period are wonderful places that could be mined for quite some time, hell think of it Cooking mama set in prohibition era Chicago where you have to learn how to make liquor, id buy that in a heart beat
Well said. These are my exact hopes for LA Noire too. RDR blew me away. I hope to re-experience that feeling with LA Noire.Straying Bullet said:

Maybe you could google search before being a jerk.
I'll rent if I can.
I buy multiplayer games and that's it, because I know it'll last.
Beautiful game though, I really like the direction its going.

No it will sell amazingly well. It has R* brand all over it. Maybe not Red Dead or GTA well, but it will reach 1 million by June
L.A. Noire will sell because it's a Rockstar game. I think several people, myself included, didn't think Red Dead Redemption would sell because it was a western and not many people are into westerns nowadays. I know the gameplay is different from a GTA or a RDR but Rockstar knows how to do marketing and L.A. Noire has that big open world thing going for it. The game won't sell like a GTA game due to the very different gameplay but people trust the Rockstar name, not me though (the last good games Rockstar has made IMO are Vice City and Midnight Club 2).
My prediction: FAIL
Looks/feels more story-based than sandbox, but they apparently forgot to add the auto-play button so I can just watch the movie instead of being forced to jump through the game play hoops.
But then, I never understood how people can stand "press X to jump" game play like Uncharted...
