L.A. Noire

[Fil]

I hope this comes in today. One question, do the controls feel as shitty as GTA4 and RDR? I hated it in GTA4, I tolerated it in RDR. I hope since this is a Team Bondi game, maybe the controls have been fixed.

The controls are great. GTA4 handles like total shit, RDR is much better than GTA4, but LA Noire is not comparable to either. Cars are nimble and quick, shooting is handled fine, and the "action" controls are so stripped down to be impossible to be shit.

RDR handled like shit for me initially (especially for riding), but tweaking the controls fixed all of the issues that I had.

I picked this up last night but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Tonight...

[BillyG]

The controls seriously aren't a concern, because the "action" is NOT the selling point of this game. It could control like Resident Evil and still be fucking awesome. INVESTIGATE

[Abraham Smashington]

yeah. The action stuff seems pretty minimal. And the fact that to do most things all you need to do is run at the wall/stairs/ladder/etc

Well there's tweaking controls, which is fine, I switched to L1 and R1 for shooting in RDR, but how Marston felt when he was running around or jumping felt like shit, same with GTA4, and that had shitty driving as well. I basically don't want to be mashing X to run and the running or even walking to feel odd, among other things.

That's good to hear, but I still don't need shitty feeling movement for the little action that is in the game. I'm sure I'll manage, just was wondering if I was going to hate how the controls felt. I'll find out soon.

Best random crime moment to date. Man and ex are arguing, man has gun, beat cop tries to stop the fight as my partner and I pull up and beat cop gets shot in the face. Boyfriend runs, I give chase only to have a fruit truck round the corner and make mince meat out of the girlfriend. It was a serious oh shit moment, I'm sure it was scripted but it was so well done I initially was like "NOOOOOO" thinking I had failed the street crime. Ended with me shooting the boyfriend in the face. I <3 this game so far.

Dammit, Rob. I've got everyone wondering why I'm laughing my ass off.

[Abraham Smashington]

That's exactly how Lesley and I were last night.

"YOU LYING CUNT!"

"Wait what? She WAS telling the truth?"

Totally fucking up my play through. I just need to accept that I will not get every single question right every time and just play.

[B_Metal]

Yeah I usually get all but one question, or miss a clue or two on every one so far. Second playthrough will happen I'm sure of it.

[BillyG]

I think the wild mood swings are going to be part of the story. They have to be. Way too insane and pronounced not to be.

Best street crime - Amateur jewelery heist, the guys try to shoot their way out, while the girlfriend falls down crying and points out where they ran too. When you finish off the guys the girl is running to the car. You go to make chase and she immediately drives into a brick fucking wall, and you walk over and cuff her.

I-I just can't.

I've reloaded so goddamn much already, it really is like Deja Vu.

[Abraham Smashington]

at least I'm not the only one haha

[Captain Russ]

Oh yeah.

And I've racked up extensive property damage just driving to two COUNT'EMTWO gun stores.

I'm less Ed Exley and more Sweet Chuck.
