L.A. Noire Help !

I get paid this Wednesday and have been on the fence since I read about it in gameinformer. I still can't decide if I wanna spend the $64.95 to pick this up, I have read reviews and read what you guys have to say about it and, for some reason I can't come to any clear conclusions.

So maybe if I just list off the games I am into and the ones I am playing, maybe you guys can direct me closer to it or further away:

-Fallout 3 and New Vegas

-Uncharted series

-Dead Space series

- I am a Rockstar fan and love everything they make, although this is developed by Team Bondi

-I have Heavy Rain and loved it, I am currently on my second playthrough with the move sticks now

-Killzone series, currently the dominemt FPS for me. Although I am a Former COD player (dont play anymore, dont get me started)

I have more games but feel these would relate more to LA Noire, since I hear it has elements that can be compared to these games. Shooting, cinematics, and decision making. Well honestly what do you think, should I give this game a shot ? thanks in advance

It's by all means a great game, little action (so don't expect a GTA), brilliant story and city. However, it has very little replay value, or at least from my point of view. If you're going for platinum trophy then maybe it's worth those 65 bucks, if not I'd say either rent it or wait for price drop.

Then you probably should avoid it for the time being :P

I got it on day 1, played it for around 10 hours and had to take a break (almost platinumed DAII in that break) and now I'm back to it and hopefully will finish it. Sadly, I don't see it as a game which you can play continuously, it does get repetitive but the repetition breaks eventually due to story. Definitely not as repetitive as Assassin's Creed 1 though.

It requires an extremely slow pace, where you have to stop, read and think. None of the games that you listed have that, as far as I know. Not even Heavy Rain. Generally it's not a game for impatient teenagers haha. I suggest you grab an old cheap game for the time being, and wait for InFamous 2 (if you're interested) or for a price drop for LA Noire.

possibly, the worst game I have played since GTAIV. The interrogation system is horse ****, it doesn't make any sense, even if you manage to complete a case you will probably not get the right killer, the whole game is unsatisfying... seriously, ****ing horrible gameEssian

Infamous never grabbed me, since I am looking for a game to play over my summer Vakay I was thinking of replaying Oblivion or LA Noire. But I am not a teenager or impatient, I enjoy mindless games but also am drawn to games that require brains to play. Hopefully when the store returns they will release a demo, that would probably be the strongest deciding factor. mffmiguel

I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it; however, I doubt it will last you through your summer vacation. As I said, it's a great game and everyone should at least give it a try. But yeah, waiting for a demo sounds like a good idea indeed.

As for the TC, from the list of games you named, it seems you would like this game. I haven't played it myself but I like those games as well and I'm very interested in L.A. Noire.
