L.A.Noire Sucks...you in

That's according to Msxbox-world who recently played the game at Rockstar's London HQ.

[MaggieA]

Wow, Msxbox is really hyping up this game are they being paid by Rockstar? They got me with that heading good and proper.

Nice read though.

[Marcello]

Yea got me too, i was like oh gawd please dont be true then i read the article & was like ooohhh i see :)

Counting the days till rls :P

[gaffyh]

1. How did this get approved with a ! in the title?

2. How did this get approved when the title is not the same as it is on the news page?

On topic - I was kinda worried for a second.

[mafiahajeri]

Why would you be worried even if it was true? dont you have a personality? with opnions and all that stuff?

I dont know why people care for reviews its one guys opnion in the end...

[lociefer]

cheap way for hits

[Marcello]

Jeez some ppl really need to lighten up, get a sense of humour. wats with all the disagreing ??

Its just an article & a positieve one at that, about wat appears to be a great game. No one is losing here so get a grip.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

And to think this was out of my list while Move Heroes was on... Oh, forgive me Rockstar for I have doubted. And they are releasing it right before my Bday, just in time.

I always liked the idea, I just felt it wasn't special and with all the delay and the busy year... Looks like I was completelly wrong, getting it first day now.

[lelo2play]

Dam... the title sucked... me in.

That week is going to be insane...
Witcher 2 on the 17th May
LA Noir on the 20th May

[lastdual]

Team Bondi can blow me....away with the quality of their story telling.

[stuntman_mike]

@lelo2play

im thinking the same, both those games gonna be amazing.

[PS3n360]

I am not buying this game....till it comes out.

[Gebus]

I like to add.... periods to the middle of my sentence for anticipation.

[Ilikegames76]

Yes, LA Noire does sucks! It sucks you into the game and you can't stop playing.

[Digitaldude]

Troll article lol.
Good read, can't wait the play the game.

[undercovrr]

It is not a troll article, its an attention grabbing article and IMO it is very smartly done.

[sikbeta]

Sure with that title will get lot of attention :P

[sit down droid]

i own the game and i can safely say DW7 is alot better. i only speak facts

[FunkMcnasty]

@ sit down droid

You don't own the game. It doesn't even release anywhere until the end of May. You are not "speaking a fact," you are either lying or commenting in the wrong forum accidentaly.

Also, saying that one game is better than another is not "speaking a fact," That's an opinion, dude.

[the_best_player]

gay way for hits

[silver-surfer]

lol, great title dude :-) I noticed an article yesterday and a preview on the site, it seems you really like the game, i was previously sitting on the fence but i have pre-ordered now.

[Master_S]

This game rocks,great article.

[rabidpancakeburglar]

Lol I wasn't expecting that after reading the title. Sounds like it'll be awesome

[SirBillyBones]

I'm afraid that means you're stupid.

[rabidpancakeburglar]

The title got changed you t!t

[kyl277]

lol The title sucked me in but I'm glad I read it

[Kran]

Misleading title is misleading

( i didnt mean that entirely in a bad way you know. I just dont like articles which mislead you, whether it be on a great game or a horrible one)

[rjdofu]

Nice trap LOL...

[retrofly]

My heart sank when I read the title.

I was beaming with joy after reading the article.

Naughty title :P

[retrofly]

Why has nearly ever reply have 2 disagrees, strange people.

[Sitris]

Huh..........very clever title, not misleading and actually a great read, might be my first pre order this year. Rockstar may have done it again!

[ionlyneedonebubble]

This game gnna be funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

[Lone_Star]

I need Ice T's bank balance to pay for all these games. Just got Portal 2 and now I got to get this on PS3 next month.

Yeah I'm pretty damn poor at the moment.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Why Ice T of all people?

[XRider]

I admit the title got me.

[Zynga]

Man the article fooled me. But nevertheless I want this game and hope the campaign isn't short.

[radphil]

Man, nice play on words throughout the article. XD

[Ninver]

I'll be the judge if my experience with the game is worth any praise.

As for now, i envy those with early access.

[bunfighterii]

Hit hungry headline

[godsinhisheaven]

VERY FUNNY...

[jimmins]

Can't believe everyone on this thread is being so nice about it. The title is plainly misleading and I for one, don't support hit-jipping liars.

The article is also quite exceptionally dull.

[MaggieA]

Maybe because they have a sense of humour and aren't acting like their rights have been violated.

[PidgeottosCrew]

Whoever was behind the naming of this article has no concept of 'clever titles'. The title of this N4G article is a lie, formed from the author's desire to get hits.

[twdll]

I thought is was funny and even if it was misleading it was a positive review.

[DanSolo]

Really looking forward to this game.... the only thing that I was thinking might let it down was if the investigation side of it was a weak going through the motions type of thing... but thankfully it sounds like that is not the case at all!

I am hoping that the reading peoples reactions part in the interrogation parts works well and is more than a rock paper scissors type mechanic.

But a game that actually makes you use your mind and critical thinking skills to do well, would definately be a good thing. I am all for shooting lots of bad guys and blowing shit up... but exercising the brain at the same time would be nice!

[WitWolfy]

what a misleading title.... On the site it says "LA Noire SUCKS... you in", but the N4G headline just flat out says "LA Noire SUCKS!" lol

[WitWolfy]

K seems they fixed it ;)

[Convas]

Gahh, I can't wait for this game!!!

[kuroukage]

Eh, they shoulda put ..... not ! at the end.

[antauwnehart]

Ahh and I thought someone finally realised how bad rockstars games really are. I guess we'll keep getting overhyped thrash.
GTA4 3/10
red dead redemption 4/10
bully 3/10
GTA vice city 7/10
GTA san andreas 6/10
GTA 3 6/10

[sit down droid]

you should change your name to 'the truth'. i only speak facts

[InLaLaLand]

I would personally rate RDR 7/10 (that's being generous). The scenery and voice acting is spot on that was a positive for me, however the missions and the ai is pretty terrible. John Marston is the typical R* character who just doesn't like the person but still works for them (I have completed the game, I forced myself to). You didn't even realise there was a last mission!! The hideouts were fun but had some glitches. Even the blue marked people were annoying especially the woman with the people behind her.

[djreplay]

Your in the minority then because critic's and gamer's loved it, the sales speak for themselves.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Ubtrollin?

[REDGUM]

A great read. Thankyou. I have pre ordered this game with a "WHAT GAME DO I GET NEXT ATTITIDE". This looks very intresting indeed. Most importantly (for me) it sounds different. I'm actually looking forward to this game now. Great article. Keep up the great work guys.

[Figboy]

Damn I can't wait for this game. I already got this and the inFAMOUS 2 Hero Edition pre-ordered at Amazon.

This summer is going to be awesome. Those two games will keep me busy for a while, so I'm trying to fly through my backlog, and preparing to cancel my Game Fly account for next month. lol.

May 17th will be here soon. It feels so good to have a job again, so I can afford all of these awesome games. I still have to pick up Killzone 3. I finally got LBP2 last Saturday, but sadly, can't play any of the community levels because hackers have decided to ruin my gaming experience trying to "stick it to da man."

This latest hacker BS is the reason why I love single player, non-networked games. Thank God LA Noire is single player. I'm still enjoying playing LBP2 with my wife, but we'd love to try out the awesome levels people have been creating. Soon enough, I suppose.

We're both really looking forward to LA Noire. Heavy Rain got me jonesing for more mystery style games, and LA Noire is a game FULL of mysteries to solve. And it's set in the 1940s? They had me at that first trailer many years ago. It looks like the wait will be well worth it. Some games, when they are delayed is a bad sign. I was sure LA Noire would be one of them. Fortunately, it's looking like the time was well spent.

[danielle007]

Playing on ambiguity. Clever.

But, good read. I already paid off my copy a few days ago, so I am super ready for this!

[DiLeCtioN]

*Phew*

[Speed-Racer]

I knew immediately that either the author sucked at games or was pulling some grab for hits stunt. I've been in contact with most of the US based rockstar fan sites and they had nothing but great things to say about it after they test drove LA Noire in LA last two weeks ago.

[shades72]

Another person who obviously didn't read .

[Speed-Racer]

Why don't you re-read my comment before making uninformed statements?

[shades72]

Because... why then go on to defend the game when the article has nothing bad to say about it in the first place. It's as if you read the headline and didn't read the article. If you had done, then why the defensive slant?

[Speed-Racer]

It's a misleading headline....but sadly enough that title has been changed between the time I posted my first comment and now. BTW reply to yourself when trying to keep within the 3rd tier thread to continue to flow :)

[shades72]

Ok so you read the original headline which this morning was "LA Noire Sucks!". Now if you had read the article before actually posting your first comment you would have answered your first two points.

A) the writer does not suck at gaming and B) he was obviously searching for hits with the misleading title.

But, you ignored the text and went with the headline assuming it was all negative comments in the article, hence why you then went on to talk about all the positive comments from other sources, which you would have seen as unnecessary had you actually read the article.

BTW, thanks for the tip.

[bozebo]

Downrated due to misleading title attempting to hook people in who want to flame/troll.

Ignoring all msxbox-world.com and shades72 articles from now on.

But yeah anyway, la noire seems really win.

[Shane Kim]

Wtf is this? Misleading headline. How did this get approved?

[49erguy]

I'm kind of "iffy" when it comes to Rockstar games this gen. GTA IV was boring and I found Red Dead to be just OK.

[SeraphimBlade]

Okay, we need a term for this kind of thing. "Title whoring?"

[divideby0]

when you have nothing to write about, you need a title to get attention.... fail on authors desperate plea for attention and clicks.... shameful

[thespaz]

Hey, the title just changed.

[mamotte]

Epic title is epic.

[TheLastGuardian]

I just got my L.A. Noire pre order in yesterday. The videos I've seen are very impressive and this looks like my kind of game. L.A. Noire has alot of hype to live up to.

[shades72]

The people who are disagreeing are butthurt because of the headline. When I submitted this in the morning the original headline was "LA Noire Sucks!" - somewhere along the line it got changed.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

FUCK LA NOIRE wheres my gta 5???

[ASSASSYN 36o]

I am wondering if I should get this. I read it was linear unlike GTA series. But not too linear.

And I am wondering, can I pull my gun out in the police station and blast the hell out of everyone?

[Ingram]

Are you implying the game would be less thrilling or fun if you can't do that? no shit here, a legitimate question.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

I am implying I don't want a linear game. I am implying I don't want restrictions suddenly imposed on the freedom that rockstar games are notorious for. Even if I got what I wanted, thrills or fun may not exists.

[Ingram]

ok jeez, just asking.

I foretell you this scenario as an example: Mafia 2 is a game that has lots more of that so called "freedom" or "non-linearity" quality, yet I'm pretty confident L.A. will be a better, more engaging and satisfactory game overall.Will you like it?, who knows.

[Ingram]

The game facial animation is nuts, and the voice acting seems to be good too.Let's wait and see.

[RSLAEV]

What a hack way of getting hits...

[MasterD919]

Somebody will skip reading right over this article because of that headline.

I really clicked on this to see how bad it was.

[Bebedora]

I confess! Btw. You are my hero. Actually watching it and tried to see substance in it.

[BigKev45]

Tonight, my girl will suck... me off. lol

[Psycho_Mantis]

The last time we were promissed that we will be sucked if we played Ninty nine nights two: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

But since LA noire is a game that i actulley like to see and play, it will hoepfully do a great deal of sucking. :D

[Bebedora]

lol. I will not confess to that.

[Bebedora]

Hits for the money. Aaaaaa...More hits for the money...Nothing can beat it.

More hits for the money...aaahhh. Hits for the money.

I am fed up.

Btw#2: I have bought inFamous. A delight. Reminds me of Watchmen, Dark version of batman and so forth. Wort a $20

The feel is very Ok. Athmospher is on-par. Story holds so far (1hr barely). I hope it will hold in the long run...

[Darkseeker]

Getting it on PS3. It get an exclusive case on PS3 and the game was originally a ps3 exclusive, which means the ps3 is lead platform and making it the better version.

Also, there is no online mode anyway, so it doesn't matter.

[Merivigian]

That's why I'm getting it day 1, let's go Rockstar

[HINDERIZATION]

IT'S A TARP!

[skynidas]

I'm extremely hyped for this game.

[WetN00dle69]

Great article! Cant wait.

[Hassassin]

Title brought me here... lol

[Bull5hifT]

That Guy From THE GETAWAY gave me a Little HEAD........'s UP of how the gameplay might be in this game...it was a decent GTA clone, the story was like a movie from what i remembered....im gonna pop in Black FRiday , already preordered it with the $20 coupon on amazon from portal 2 that i got with a $10 coupon from crysis 2 that i got with a $10 coupon from Killzone 3 that i got from a $10 coupon from LITTLE big Planet 2, and no taxes and $1 shipping

[Gamerfans]

Pre ordered my ps3 copy with the exclusive dlc ONLY on ps3.

[Gamerfans]

Don't forget exclusive content on ps3!

[therapist]

the graphics look so dated, i hope the story really makes up for the dated looking tech, i think it will and i will defintaely rent this one!

[Bebedora]

I hate bad reviews, Grrr...

[phatfreddy1978]

Can't wait to play this whodoneit.

[Pl4sm4]

this game is gonna be just like a 1950s (boring)crime/drama movie .. i just see it

[SwampCroc]

You know I was just telling my friend.... like what would happen if Rockstar made a "bad" game....

Now I don't know any facts or whatever...

But, it's safe to say like all of Rockstar's games have averaged a 9 across the ratings board... From playing the games you know what to expect...

But, I was telling my friend like what would happen if they released a game and it got like 6 rating or even a 7.. I think in Rockstar terms that would be considered a failure..

I dunno. I expect this game to be good. I expect it to get good reviews... It's weird like Rockstar just showed up one day and hit a Grand Slam... and they've been hitting Home Runs ever since... it's like they're on a wave that will never end...

I'm not trying to be a hater or sound like a downer... But, I kind of wish one of these games Rockstar creates doesn't live up to the expectations so they can get a wake up call sort of...

It almost like a Rockstar game is guarenteed to be a great one... It's like they've never had that taste of failure that so many other companies had before they hit it big..

Just a thought... sorry if anyone takes what I said the wrong way... I like the Rockstar games...

[hassi94]

"L.A.Noire Sucks...you in"

Just like the title of this article!

WHEY-OH!
