I'm halfway thru LA Noire, does anyone else think this game is way overrated.

Gameplay is incredibly boring and it just seems so repetitive. I know you can say that about any game that has the same play mechanics throughout, but this game just stands out even more so as just following the same repetitive task and steps. Boring. I just don't care to complete it.

I've found all of Rockstar's work this gen to be very overrated, so I'm not surprised. If I play it, I am going in with low expectations.-RocBoys9489-

It doesn't feel like a rockstar game. I really enjoyed GTA 4 and Red Dead. This is unlike any of their past games.

Real answer here. Greatest GTA game I've ever played was Vice City. Nothing else really impressed me

totally overated my initial halfway through score of 8 has been downgraded to a 7 after finishing it.

although the face thing needs to be a programming tool and widely implemented i give that a 10.

I have 2 cases left and I've loved it so far. 1 case frutrated me so far but as far as gameplay goes I don't find it repetitive. I can see where people are coming from saying that but this game just feels so refresing and original compared to the flood of FPS's this gen. The story, acting, gameplay, music, and world are all so incredble.

I've beaten it, I liked everything about it in general, even the ending. Don't feel its overrated, 9/10 seems right. Its unique and fun.

RDR and LA Noire are only games ever touched by Rockstar that I've beaten, and both are games I had way more fun with than any GTA.

Good game with overhyped face technology thing. Overall, it's overrated just like other R* published games(this gen) even for someone not expecting GTA style like me.

Finished it and never touched it again very disappointing. At least it was made by Team Bondi so I have enjoyed every rockstar games.viper-kid

I'd say don't count the game out until you get to the Arson Desk. Game picked up immensely for me after that. Also Homicide drags on too long. I know why they did it but they should've cut out at least one of the repetitive cases. But yeah stick with it I'd say, you may be like me and my friends and love the last few hours.

Watched the first 40 minutes of it and it looked like a bore. Big difference between paying homage to the Noir genre (max payne) and playing with conventions, instead of just recycling cliches too I might add.

The faces don't even look that good. The ol' uncanny valley effect, where they might resemble the voice actors but a lot of them look like they're from the same mould or their expressions dont change.

I traded it for Crysis 2 on PS3 even though I have it on PC. Best move ever.

Heres the thing for me... On its own its not the best game ive ever played. Driving is finicky at best and it feels a little bare bones as an over all experience, ie, you pretty much do the same things throughout rinse and repeat. I give it extra points however because it is a new experience with new gameplay elements in that dares come out in a sea of COD clones etc... I will always applaud and root for the dev that takes a chance. I didnt expect perfection on this game but now that its out and I see its future potential I will enjoy this game and expect even more next time around.

It's ridiculous how overrated LA Noire is.

Well everysingle reviewer said the game is not for everyone

Curious to know if anyone who enjoyed Heavy Rain, like me, enjoyed LA Noire.

This "you should have went into the game with a different mentality" is absurd. The fact that the game is called LA Noire kind of tips the player off that it will be revolved around the conventions of the noir genre.sammyjenkis898

Oh well,I´m actually enjoying it very much.

I picked up the 360 version and I'm about 30-40% through it.. And I must say that it's pretty damn good but it does get a bit repetitive.

**** POSSIBLE SOILERS****

After 4-5 dead women in a row it's becomes a matter of fingering obvious suspects that you know didn't do it. I'm sure the game opens up more towards the middle/end but so far it's.. watch a cut-scene of some women being bludgeoned, investigate the crime scene, talk to suspects/witnesses, interrogate someone and charge them with a crime, wash, rinse and repeat. Sure there's the occasional side mission that involves you killing someone, but anyone can tell it's simply filler.. still a good game though.

This game was immensly disappointing. Agree with sammyjenkis's whole post. I was expecting a great mystery, awesome story. What I got was a stiff character who eventually got into an affair, apparently had a family, and I was supposed to care. It's a game of choice, yet tells you how to play. Seriously, every single interrogation would end the same way, and if it were to end differently, you'd fail the mission. I was under the impression that every single choice you made would impact the entire game, yet there would never be a different ending.

Also.

[spoiler] Cole dies and I had no reason to care. And the last scene with him reaching up from the water is absurdly lame. [/spoiler]

I think alot of people felt like this playing LA Noire.

LOL. Same thing happened to me at Homicide(except for last case) and Vice section. I was certain I won't finish the game if not for Rusty -Finbarr- Galloway's witty comments to keep me entertained. Arson's part was the most interesting because of the whole conspiracy stuff.
