It really does, once you get your teeth into it you just want to keep on going.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I'm enjoying it so far. Just got promoted to Homicide. I'm taking my time with it.
Just played a few hours of it thinking I only played an hour.
I've found a way to finally improve my interrogation. When they are looking away etc and your not sure if they're lying or you should just doubt them I accuse them of lying and when I realise I've got sod all proof I take it back then just doubt them. It could just be done better if I checked my clue thing earlier but just rather get it done quicker.

I have just completed it, 13 hours of gameplay. 
I will finish the street crimes because I haven't done any, collect the cars and wait for the DLC to come out. I might even play this over again. Excellent game, the best I've played on PS3 so far I think.

Excellent game, the best I've played on PS3 so far I think.I agree, it's fantastic. The wife loves it too so the Xbox has been on more than normal since I bought it. I've been playing with hints "off" since the beginning which will hopefully make the game a lot longer.
I desperately want a DLC.
Just been promoted to Homicide. Hardly played over the weekend.
It really is a great game.

Waiting on this to arrive from Lovefilm. Between this, Mass Effect and Dragon Age I may never go outside again.
Mine came with two DLCs I think. It has two extra pieces of paper with codes to download "The Naked City" and The Badge pursuit Challenge, and "The Consul's Car" Traffic Case. The Badge Pursuit Challenge has a little bag with it with what looks like pieces of film inside but I haven't checked them yet.
Same here.
They will be available for download late June, at least some of them. The difference is you will not have to pay for them, I will have to pay $2.99 for each or something around that. Shame they are not available from the start.
They should have been on the disc, but then the XB360 version would get out of control, and they're also greedy feckers. PS3 version is single layer, so they have no excuse there.

I need some DLC lovin' too, even though I've not even finished it yet. Just been promoted off Traffic. It's incredible. Keep doing the dispatch things instead of the main cases. Too much fun!
I've still only played 11 of the 21 missions, glad I've got lots more to play when I get round to it.
Im liking this, but I am not loving this. It really isnt a patch on Red Dead or GTA 4. I am half way through homicide and its getting a bit repetitive.
Agreed.
That seems to be the consensus from what I've heard.
I'll waiting until it comes out on my brand spanking new PC I think.
It probably won't come out on PC.
I don't know why every open world game has to be compared to GTA or Red Dead (the first of which didn't get stellar reviews either) when they are trying to maybe give a very different experience. It's annoying to be honest, similar to how every FPS gets compared to COD for some stupid reason, and COD isn't even the best in it's class, it's just popular. Justin Bieber is popular as well - it doesn't really say much.
It's better than GTA4, which I thought was very overrated, for me. At least every mission actually has a point and what you do connects the dots, in GTA4 it seems like 80% of missions were 'drive there, collect a package, deliver it somewhere else' which was actually completely uninteresting. Red Dead was better than that, and possibly the best Rockstar game so far.
When you all talk about Red Dead, you do realise that there was a game called Read Dead Revolver, right?
I'd say this is very much a development game. Its more an exhibition of what we can look forward to rather how good the story and what ever else is. I fully expect GTA V due for release next year to take this technology to another level. I'd compare this to Assassins Creed 1.
Im guessing most assume we mean Redemption. Which for me is one of my all time favourite games.
Yes, but it wasn't half as good as Redemption.
Which was fecking ace!!!
LA Noire for me:
Innovative...a new style of gameplay i have never encountered before. Love the facial reading which doesnt always go to plan.
The chase scenes are repetitive but investigations...although repetitive change per scene. Wait til the game sends you on your own in the poetry case!!!Which solitary thinking makes the game. You need to think to go places and not just rely on how good you are at playing games.
Also as you go on you get a few spying/stalking scenarios so nowhere like GTA or RDD.
Its hard to say if its like any of them because this genre hasn't exactly been done before.
I'm enjoying it, love the interrogations, it really pisses me off when I can't get a good number of answers straight and it adds a bit of replay value, since some cases I really messed up a bit and have no clue what happened. Glad the game allows us to proceed regardless.
I'm in Vice now on my save.
I've had this since release but am yet to actually play it.
I think i'm the only person in the World who didn't think Red Dead Redemption was all that?
The entire middle section of the game (Mexico I think) was a bore fest.

Been playing for about an hour and enjoying so far.
Can you kill pedestrians etc? If not why the hell would I buy this?
My mate picked this up yesterday and we were playing it for a few hours last night, I have to say I'm well impressed. The facial animation is incredible and the game itself is highly absorbing. I'm sceptical of the longevity though, and once you've done all the cases I'm not sure what else you'll have to do, unlike the endless fun of GTA for example. I'll probably not buy it myself for that reason.
No, its not GTA despite the Rockstar logo.
Its an story-driven game using traditional adventure game elements as well as interrogative elements like that of Phoenix Wright. If you want a sandbox to mess around it causing endless carnage, then this isn't the game you're looking for.
How has the thread title not been corrected yet.
The spelling isn't exactly wrong, just a difference in adaptions. I'll change it but I don't think it saves it.
Just finished it, an interesting ending and i suppose a fitting one.
Cracking game and i can't wait for the DLC.
Personally i felt he, like Marston, had to die and at least he did it saving others to atone for what he'd done. Then the real Noir ending where it's not all happily ever after, even though he got rid of the corruption of Monroe et al it didn't change the fact that the police will always be corrupt. Earle's speech and then shaking hands with the new DA basically confirms that.

Decided to leave it for today and pick it up on Sunday afternoon as Saturday is busy and will be nursing a hangover regardless of the result on Sunday morning.
I'm at the point where your chasing the mass murderer, the bartender, through that church. Died a couple of times and got fed up. How far off the end am I? I hope pretty far off still cos it does seem short then
Once he's dead you move to Vice, still plenty of game to play yet.
Thats good to know, was worried I was going through it quickly which is one reason I only play it in spurts.
This is why I hate playing games late, I'm going to have to through the entire thread again reading all the spoilers.
