anyone get la noire?

is it messed up day 1 like gtaiv, or is it running well?

It is not out yet...no one got a chance to play it on PC...

Release was delayed until the 11th, it seems.

my steam shows it as available... are you guys in the uk?

How is the peformance of L.A Noire on the PC? Is it similar to GTAIV in terms of being full of technical issues or does it run ok?

HyperWarlock

Fixed.

Definitely a game I will be buying, but I already got Skyrim on pre-order off Steam. Won't have time for this.

it doesnt sound too bad, according to rockpapershotgun. Having toruble linking, but check it out. And its funny how its sunk in the game was overated now that the hype has died down, but I have a soft spot for the genre.

The hidden object genre? :P

I wasn't aware the game releases now. My November shopping list just reached critical mass.

Picked it up this morning at Best Buy, installing it now. As part of the install there is a mandatory update patch (the booklet even tells you so).

Edit: Best Buy, not Fry's

I have it for xbox360, if mods show up for pc version I will definatly buy it for PC to. I had more fun with LA NOIRE then GTA IV personally.

Now if only they would give us RDR for PC, imagine that game with mods? good lord :P

I've been playing the retail version for about an hour and have yet to come across any glichtes or bugs yet. As I mentioned you will have to update the game with a patch prior to playing, I wouldn't doubt that there may be patches in the future. Smooth sailing, but this is a rockstar game so I'm anticipating something that will need to be patched.

I can't launch the game from Steam. I get this loop that keeps going back to the launcher.

Watched my friend play a little on 360, and it seems actually quite shallow compared to all the hype about it.

He beat the game and was like yeah, its way too easy, and likes to hold your hand through it. Also says there is hardly any replay value, that Mafia II had better replay value.

I (personally) can't disagree with him, because from what I saw of it, that seems to be the case, not really something I am gonna buy, much less spend $50-$60 on.

lol, same guys who voted9.0 in the xbox page and claimed it was a great game,comes here now and bithces about the game. where were you 6 months ago?

Why you people keep posting here just by reading the thread title? He asked the optimization of the game but all you saying is "I have played it on 360", "Yeah I finished it 6 months ago". And don't you think why would someone open a thread about it after 6 months on pc section? (Yes I am mad)murekkep

Alright kiddies, here's my initial verdict: awful port job.

Took me 10 mins worth of crashing at startup to actually get into the game. If you do get it, I recommend not using the launcher options to set your graphical settings. Just use the default, since you can change all those options in-game and it's less temperamental that way. The in-game patcher (I'm not using Steamworks) doesn't work. I had to execute the patch manually out of the game to get it to patch, and the patcher still seemed to crash afterwards. Did it work? Well I'm not really sure.

Even with 2x anti-aliasing @ 1080p, the game is heavily pixelated. I know some forms of AA do a poor job of edge-softening, and whatever they're using appears to be one of them. Graphically, the game looks pretty terrible and I doubt I'm getting over 30 fps, with some stuttering. I have the game pretty much maxed, but I barely noticed a performance difference when messing with the settings. Since you can compare this game's graphics almost directly to Mafia II... well that just blows this game out of the water graphically.

The system I have is an OC'ed Phenom II X3 720, 8 GB DDR, 1 GB 6950.

The game itself is pretty cool already, though. Searching for clues, flipping through my notebook, investigatin... stuff. I imagine it'll get much more intricate as time goes on. And good lord, the face animations are spectacular.

I told you only the GPUs listed on Steam are supported :P

The game is capped at 30FPS... Why, why?

For that cinematic feeling lol

Tried to force AA through my ATI control panel and it didn't seem to do... anything. Can't see my framerate or get screenshots because FRAPS doesn't seem to want to work with this game :|

The patch starts downloading automagically when you start the game, and saves to the main game dir. I had to launch the patch exe manually to get it to apply.

its garbage

the graphics are terrible, its optimized worse than GTA4, the AA sucks, the controls suck

seriously Rockstar make me sick, they give PC the worst ports of all time and wonder why they dont sell, hurr durr piracy, Rockstar leeds did an awful job, outsource it to someone with a brain

yeah like GTA4, it doesnt work with AA (lol DX9)

once again modders have to try and fix it

it was too quick to be true

thank god i stopped pre-ordering games after da:2

it sounds mostly alright for most, but I cant get the retail version to launch on windows 7, two different computers...

You guys should use FXAA in case the MSAA doesn't work.

I've played the game on console, sold it, and rebought it on the PC. While it's not the best of ports, I think it's miles better than the GTA4 port. The game is stable, controls well, and bearing the 30FPS framerate cap, it's not a bad port. It runs fine on my PC and the Fraps counter is present, too. Now, only if they can get rid of the framerate cap...
