Unskippable: L.A. Noire

L.A. Noire

We cut out the item examinations and the game is 5 minutes long.

Actually there was an episode of the sarah connor chronicles where a terminator accidentally got sent back too far to the 20s.

 

[Knusper]

I feel like I need to try out that charging gun trick with a rampaging rhino.

 

[leviadragon99]

Hey, this is the internet, I'm sure Steampunk Terminator has allready happened somewhere...

 

[brass munkey]

I absolutely loved the Leno impression. Great video.

 

[Something Amyss]

Leno impression=awesome.

Steampunk Terminator=awesomer.

Red Dead Redemption was actually mostly muppets, though.

 

[vxicepickxv]

It seems that one of the closest I've found is just a paintjob away.

 

[Hungry Donner]

If I had to choose between a 1920s gangster Leno and Coco I'd have a tough time.

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.

"It's pronounced LAP'D"
and the games pronounced L.A Noireeeee!

But yes agreed, someone make steampunk Terminator, I'd pay good money to see that!

Steampunk Terminator.

Arnold Schwarzenegger... Bowler hat...

 

[Aptspire]

BTW, if you've finished this game, you notice how much detail was put into those first few minutes

 

[mjc0961]

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.

 

[DJShire]

I didn't know the Illuminati have their own building in LA.

Oh my god, we are having a TERRIBLE run of misquoting protagonists. We shouldn't need to fact-check these things!

Sorry all.


I think Paul was confusing him with James Marsters.

 

[gphjr14]

Sorry but you guys killed it when you said 1920s. Haven't even played the game but know the character is a WWII veteran....which would've made it a 20 year difference. Big difference in the course of LA history.

But the Leno impression was okay.

 

[ManiacEskimo]

Heh heh "bigger casting couch".

 

[The Random One]

Arnold in a bowler hat: a noble pursuit indeed.
