L.A. Noire

ANY crime... you question immediate relatives first. Even IRL.

That didn't matter. It was all about the questioning. Right after I finished my initial questioning I could have charged him. However, I went and interviewed Grunberg and fucked up like one question. Had no option to charge him. so I went back and charged the pedo, everyone was happy, and I got an achievement.

It's not your job to get facts right. You just have to keep LA clean.

As for me, I'm about 3 corpses away from the headshot achievement. I earned my silver star, pal.

Played almost all day yesterday. I reached the Arson desk, fucking Daniel Holtz is my partner now.

I got 4 stars in 2 of the cases yesterday because of missing evidence. I played them again immediately, and got 5 stars even though I didn't find anything new. Some evidence wasn't saving, I suppose. You have to be careful at some crime scenes, some evidence you find triggers cuts scenes or chases and if that wasn't the last piece of evidence, you're screwed.

because we should have interrogated the dad first, Billy. That's my guess, anyways.

Nah, you can go talk to Pinnochio first. You just gotta make sure to doubt the shit outta his stupid face (though his "kind of rope don't matter to me" is truth...because he's a scumbag of typecasted proportions).

Yep. This screwed me up the first time I played the "Red Lipstick Murder" case. Looked at the bloody box before anything else and lost a star for my trouble.

I keep waiting for Mickey Cohen to walk outside, head toward his car in the back of the parking lot, the soundtrack to completely drop, and then BAM horriblebagladything slides into frame.

[Fil]

So, I finished this last night. Good game, although I thought the cases towards the end weren't as interesting as the ones from homicide. Still, I enjoyed this, I wouldn't mind more cases as DLC, which I'm sure we'll get.

[Captain Russ]

Yeah, and ending it with

  Spoiler: BLABBITY BLAH BLAH BABBY'S FIRST SPOILER 

a cover-based shootout

was not in the best interest of ending on a high note.

The cut scenes were very very good though.

[Matt]

that actually brings up a question: do you miss out on shit by having the partner drive? I typically opt for that so that I can get to the destination NOW without killing civilians. Is THAT how you get the extra missions?

[Abraham Smashington]

Yep. Far as I know you can only get the extra missions if you drive.

[Matt]

OK, good to know. Thanks.

[Captain Russ]

Just keep your siren on, drive in the median, and BAM no more traffic accidents.

That way, you too can enjoy the case of the insane bat-using, tinfoil hat-wearing, pants-less wacko.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, I've hit maybe 2 people in my entire time playing so far.
