How can disc swapping NOT be a hassle. It totally breaks immersion which is what LA Noire is desperately trying to do. Im guessing lower ratings on the 360 versio for this reason

Duckyindiana

This, I don't play a 20-30 hour game in one go so immersion is going to be broke at some time, disc swapping or not. And lower rating for swapping a disc every ten hours lol.

Its a hassle in the same way getting up to put a different game in is. Nobody cares!. Good job rockstar, im glad they decided to span 3 disks, no downsampled fmv hampering my experience.

I bet it sell more on 360 too regardless of multiple discs.

I'll rather switch discs then not having online capabilities.

better hope not soon, there are rumors that they are planning another large attack once PSN is back online

I have no problem with standing up and switching discs. My main problem with multi disc games is if you lose one of the discs. That pisses me off to no end. If its a single disc game and I lose the disc, fair enough, Its gone...its done. Time to buy a new one. Its as if the game had broken. But in a multi-disc game, I cant bring myself to pay full price for 1/3 of the product. I know its no biggie, but I remember playing Parasite Eve and I couldnt find the last fraking disc for the longest time. When I finally did find it, I got to the last boss and it crashed cause the disc was scratched! >.< I nearly commited suicide. For that reason alone, I have never beaten Parasite Eve. Stopped right at the last freaking boss because I cant bring myself to rebuy the whole entire game just for 1 disc. Now maybe if they had a set up where u can buy each disc for 1/3 the price, then yeah, i can dig that.

the only people who have a problem with this are Cows, and we don't need a topic of swapping discs EVERY SINGLE TIME a game that has more than 1 disc is announced. how many times do we have to tell you that we do not care

If you lose the disc of a single disc game you're also buggered ... so eh, dont lose any discs.

It's beyond pathetic that people are complaining about something that barely takes half a minute to do.drinkerofjuice

Wow, a nine page thread over something so trivial? Just to put things into perspective, it takes longer to pause your game, take a bathroom break and grab something to drink than it does to simply pop out one disk and pop in another. We all do this, do we not? While one disk is obviously preferable, those who play it on the 360 only have to do this twice during the entire game, which is massive. Hardly a deal breaker for those who are going to play it on the 360, lol. At least I hope not.

Getting up and swapping disk interrupts the flow of the game. He is just like any other dev. He will say anything to get their game sold.

AmazonTreeBoa

This doesn't even slightly make sense.

R* said that you disc swap in-between cases, and if disc swapping breaks up the flow of the game, so does turning it off to play later or taking a bathroom break.

It's beyond pathetic that people are complaining about something that barely takes half a minute to do.drinkerofjuice

That's the whole point: No one's really complaining. It's just a small herd of cows trying to claim ownage over a very trivial thing.

What cracks me up is that they could claim some ownage over the fact that PS3 gets extra content and was the lead platform if they really felt the need, so why they keep banging the disc-swapping drum is beyond me.

Pretty much. Anybody who thinks this is an issue is either a) lazy b) just trying to make this a bigger deal than it is for obvious reasons.

>disc swapping

>hassle free

Does not compute.

psn8214

Exactly how is changing a disc two times over the course of several hours a hassle? :?

I swear, some of you need to learn what an actual hassle is for perspective.

Something I will say, I hope each disc has a part of the case to be placed in. I hated how Lost Odyssey had those stupid envelopes for the extra discs.

Why should I when:

1. I get exclusive content.

2. I get exclusive games.

3. All of my games are on 1, scratch-resistant disc.

I'm not getting the game anyway so it really doesn't effect me. However I do have some comments to add because this topic seems to get thread after thread whenever a multiple disc game comes out.

First.....If Rockstar was really trying to make the whole process hassle free they would allow the game to work lke Forza 3. Install all 3 discs and just play off of the first one. Like PC games have been doing for years.

Second....The whole disc swapping argument is of course stupid to everyone except for Cows who seem to think it gives them some kind of ownership. How many times are you going to get up off the couch over a period of a 20 some hour game anyway? So get up, stretch, swap the disc, and get a drink or something. You should take a break from your game every so many hours anyway.

Third...Most people would take a 10 second disc swap two times in a game over a 30 minute mandatory install any day. I know I would.

The Nordic Limited Edition of the game has exclusive content that needs internet to be unlocked, I rather play what I pay for and change a disc each 10 hours or so.

**** this. I haven't moved from my couch in two months I'm not about to get up and swap a disc.

Didn't know you had to be an athlete to be a gamer.

coasterguy65

>Incredibly lazy

>Pampered

Because if getting up and switching discs 2 times during a 20hr+ game is too big of a hassle its the only conclusion i can come to.

God i'd hate to see some of you people back when TV remotes were a rarity, having to get up to switch channels, teh horror !!.

[QUOTE="IronBass"]Of course isn't gonna be a hassle. Why would it? :question: If things like that were actually perceived as a hassle, gaming would have died a long time ago because of how much of a "hassle" it is.racing1750

it isn't a big fuss and it isn't even that big of a hassle, but you guys don't think it's easier/more convenient to just leave the disc in for the entire playthrough? Play for 30 minutes, turn the console off. Come back, turn the console on, play for 30 minutes. You never have to remove the disc and insert a new one. If I had the choice between PS3 and 360, which would be more convenient?

Had MS thought ahead when they made the X360, they would have had a built in HDD at launch, then this would'nt be an issue.Martin_G_N

It won't be a hassle to most people.

People don't care about disc swapping as much as Cows would like to think they do.

[QUOTE="Martin_G_N"]Had MS thought ahead when they made the X360, they would have had a built in HDD at launch, then this would'nt be an issue.IronBass

Isn't an issue? Come on!! When Rockstar made GTA4 they had a meeting with MS about the DVD and HDD issue, because they had completely maxed the DVD, and they knew that GTA games would only get bigger. Look at the PS2, GTA3 was under 1GB, GTA SA was 3GB. Since they chose to be cheap and use DVD, they should have added a HDD. 20GB was'nt all that expencive.Martin_G_N

I DONT THINK SWAPPING DISCS IN LA NOIR ON 360 WILL BE HALF AS TROUBLESOME AND A '' HASSLE'' AS MONITORING MY CREDIT CARD THE NEXT YEAR THANKS TO ps3 AND PSN'S CRAPPY SECURITY.....NOW WILL IT.

Cows really need to find a new drum to bang this late in this generation. Because the one youve been banging has gotten incredibly old.

Report card lost/stolen. Proceed to not having to worry about monitoring your CC due to PSN being hacked.
