Annoying to learn

No where do they teach u controls. This wouldnt boher me if i didnt get trapped by my partner constantly. He will follow you into narrow corridors and then just block your way. Maybe they tell you how to fix this but i havent found it.

The best part is the *beep* will say *beep* like "hey cole lets get moving!" when hes blocking my way.

Seriously though, this game is so sluggish and annoying. Sure its kinda realistic but thats where it ends. The graphics were actually very underwhelming. I almost didnt even notice the facial stuff cause my eyes were too busy looking at all the ugly backgrounds.

It looks like a game from 2008 or something. Mass effect 1 was out by then, and the background graphics were way better somehow.

How this game got such a good rating is beyond me.

What are you talking about? There were tutorial hints in the top left hand corner constantly throughout the game.

Plus, there is always the manual.

Aparantly the game isn`t dumbed down enough for him...and therefore deserves a low rating.

Why are you walking into corners in the first place?

losing all hope is freedom

lmao in a game where you check every single clue (worthless or not) how can you not sometimes get yourself trapped in corners? My main gripe is when they are following directly behind you.

This game is designed for people with lots of time. The story is good as is the voice acting, but the game itself takes very little skill once youve been playing for a couple hours. Its just time consuming questioning people and rifling through clues that do not pertain to your goals.

i think its funny that you think a game like L.A. noire could be too complicated for anyone though. Just shows how much you think of yourself lmao.

I disagree with the OP about everything except one point: he's right about getting trapped in corners. That's happened to me several times, too. I've always been able to maneuver out eventually without having to reboot, but it still makes for an annoying 60 to 90 second diversion.

It has usually happened to me when I'm trying to test whether a door is one that can be opened or if it's just there for show. So, I'll go to try to open this door, and my keystone cop of a partner decides to spoon me from behind. It gets so tight that I can barely move.

why do you need to test doors? the game teaches you in the very beginning that only doors with golden knobs can be opened.

This is your life. It is ending one minute at a time.

WTF how are you getting trapped in corners? I'm at the Vice Desk now and I haven't once been trapped.

How do you need to be taught controls, have you never played a video game? Just fark around until you learn them.

This game is great, it's original. There's a ridiculous amount of good actors, the stories are great.

You sound like you suck at this game.
