Leno impression=awesome.
Steampunk Terminator=awesomer.
Red Dead Redemption was actually mostly muppets, though.

Great, now I want a rhino stopping gun that halts rhinos and animals smaller than rhinos using its sheer beauty alone. Thanks, Graham and Paul, for once again filling my mind with awesome things that will never be.
Regarding the cutscene, I almost bought this game because of the face-cap alone. I wish the actual character models were a bit better; the contrast between the amount of detail between the two would cause a serious case of uncanny valley for one not more use to video games. Still, the emotions displayed on the characters' faces is nothing short of impressive.

Did Paul say James Marston, or am I hearing things? Because it's supposed to be John Marston, and then his son is Jack... No James.
Indeed. I had completely forgotten about this opening cutscene, so it was nice to see it again and "oh and ah" at all the little hints and foreshadowing in it.Aptspire said:BTW, if you've finished this game, you notice how much detail was put into those first few minutes
Oh my god, we are having a TERRIBLE run of misquoting protagonists. We shouldn't need to fact-check these things!mjc0961 said:
Sorry all.
I think Paul was confusing him with James Marsters.
You know if they did more work on fleshing out the world and some more gameplay besides the story, L.A. Noire could have been an awesome game. I mean I liked the "random" crimes and all but I would have liked to be able to have had free-play between cases. You know, like after case is over you can go plainclothes and drive around (or home), and maybe if they'd fleshed out more of the Phelps-SingerChickWho'sNameICan'tRemember story (like other than that it was implied and later revealed he was fucking her) then I might have thought that L.A. Noire was an awesome game.
Plus I would have liked to have seen more real random crimes while driving around like noticing a purse snatcher while driving and chasing him down (even hopping out of the car for the chase and tackle-capture/warning shot.
But alas, I'm Monday-Morning Quarterbacking... All in all I was disappointed with Noire's gameplay but it was a good story and it reminded me of Myst and some of the old Sierra games like Police Quest 1 2 and 3.
