It's one of those games that could either be totally and utterly amazing or a heap of absolute slimey shite. Quite looking forward to getting my mits on it though.

 

[ccfctommy]

This and Duke Nukem Forever!

 

[MatthewWallis]

[Deanoaka]

Brink first for me, I'll get this later in the summer, sub £25

 

[Bopquar]

I'm very excited for this. Can not wait!!

 

[Covstu]

I second that

I can't wait for Oblivion: The elder scrolls Skyrim!

 

[Covstu]

[Coventry La La La]

I lived on that game.

I wonder if they will add some online features to Skyrim.

 

[Covstu]

yes definately a market for it nowadays, they will build in new stories like they did with the shivering isles etc

Got it pre-ordered. I was going to go for the pre-order that got you an extra case, but I went for the one with the extra suit because Amazon were a fiver cheaper and I had gift vouchers.

Avoided spoilers so far, and all previews have sounded VERY promising. My only fear is that the game holds your hand a little too much so you can't really get anything wrong or fail.

 

[Sky Blue Luke]

Looks good, but I've heard it's causing problems in the US where some PS3 and 360 consoles have been overheating and switching freezing. Anybody had that problem so far here?

 

[ajsccfc]

Nothing for me. It's a very small number of people really.

 

[Nick]

Is this any good? I might go and get it from Tesco and get involved

 

[Marty]

mines crashed a few times but tbf i've spent the past 10 hours playing it, It is pritty good and feels well made but it's frustrating in parts. It's defo worth buying and yo could get hours and hours out of it, it's not what i was expecting but it is very good still.

 

[Nick]

Went to Tesco and bought it last night. Only played about 4 hours but it is quite good. I expected it to be gangsters rather than detectives though!

Get a life you sad bastards.

 

[ajsccfc]

Thanks for the suggestion, sniping at people enjoying video games is a better use of time.

 

[Nick]

Get a life you sad bastards.

Ha, nice

 

[Covstu]

i have not been tempted yet but i seen it in Sainsburys yesterday for £36 and was very very tempted..... stay strong stu!

Just got onto Disc 2/3 and a few things,

Amazing graphics and sounds.
Different to other games because you have to pay real attention to everything said, and everything the suspects do.
Can seem a bit repetitive after a few cases.
The driving is terrible, not sure why they have made it so sensitive. One flick of the analogue stick and I've done a 360!

8/10

Although I quite like the fact...anyone know why it's on 3 discs? Also, what's the photo negatives for in the case?

 

[flammablepiss]

So many good games I want, LA Noire, Twisted Metal, Duke Nukem, Ratchet & Clank All4One... and just as I can't really afford it... typical !
What's LA Noire like ? It looks beautiful in terms of an art piece. I have been really excited by it ever since I saw the trailers for it (mostly because I am a huge Rockstar fan).
I know little about it to be honest, is it a sandbox style game like GTA & Red Dead ? it looks worth buying just for the story and the game world.

It's on 3 because it's just so big. can get like 10GB of data onto a DVD where it's like 25GB on a blue ray which is why the PS3 version only comes on 1 disc.

 

[ajsccfc]

Apparently it's on three discs after a lot of compression, at one point they were talking 5-6.

It's like GTA & RDR, yes, but this one feels more mature then those titles, I feel like my grandad would like to watch me play this as it's like a movie, as it isn't just shooting and killing.

As for the story, the cases go into great detail and you learn a lot about the people, but (not reaveling any spoilers) I have a feeling theirs something in the bigger picture.

i cannot wait to get my grubby little mits on this game. I had a real lull in gaming over the last year, not been interested in much other than PES/FIFA and MW2 online. Got red dead for christmas and hardly played it till about 2 weeks ago when i finished uni for the summer. Now I am right back in love with rockstar games, there is so much to do and so many different characters, each totally individual.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

I'm onto disk 3 now. It's a brilliant game and by god do the investigations get difficult when you get this far in. I'm having to do street crimes over and over and there are so many clues that lead you up the garden path it's unbelieveable.

 

[Big fella]

Getting this game tonight for the p3s, from your reviews it looks like it will be a purchase well made.

 

[Covstu]

nah its rubbish on the PS3....

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Just to let everyone know, with less than 24 hours gameplay I have finished this game. I didn't complete it i.e. find all the hidden items etc but i have finished and will need to start again. It's different but not very long.

 

[Coventry La La La]

I'm getting this game as a gift for my birthday tomorrow I hope it's good.

 

[Gaskell]

Really want this game, a trip to sainsburys at the weekend is in order.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

If anyone wants it for X box I have it for sale. Whats the going rate for a nearly new copy at the moment.

When did you get it? if you still have the receipt you could just go back to the store and get a full refund.
