March 3, 201114 yr It was a rainy night, like the heavens themselves finally got tired of the filth that is our city and was trying to wash it away. That game's called Max Payne. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
March 3, 201114 yr It was a rainy night, like the heavens themselves finally got tired of the filth that is our city and was trying to wash it away. That game's called Max Payne. I don't remember Max calling anyone dame. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
March 3, 201114 yr I was reading a Raymond Chandler book the other day, and the descriptive phrase that stuck in my head was "she had a mouth made for three-decker sandwiches."
March 3, 201114 yr How does it go? It was a blonde. A blonde who would make a bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window. Whoever you were, whatever you wanted, she had it. I actually know a blonde like that, and she knows it. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
March 4, 201114 yr I just hope this game has some Sydney Greenstreet and/or Peter Lorre like characters. 1.13 killed off Ja2.

March 4, 201114 yr I wonder how long we have to wait until an eastern european sweatshop gets ordered to make a piss-poor PC port of it? Alan Wake seems to have killed my 360 in mysterious ways so that road is closed.

March 4, 201114 yr I wonder how much the 360 version has to suffer with all this compressed data to fit on a disc or two. I already see it coming: You drive down a road, the game suddenly freezes and orders you to "Please insert Disc 2 to continue". 360 fanboys will ask for a refund, Rockstar will announce GTA V a week later as a PS3 exclusive. Rage will ensue. Haha. Rain makes everything better.
March 9, 201114 yr L.A. Noire Gameplay Series: Investigation and Interrogation http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/adventure/...topslot;thumb;2 Looks interesting.
March 9, 201114 yr I just hope that the main character speaks in mostly metaphor and simile. It was a rainy night, like the heavens themselves finally got tired of the filth that is our city and was trying to wash it away. Also... dame. There's something to be said for authors who enjoy getting down and grubby with their language.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Basically Compression is good for games with lots of streaming, not bad. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
March 9, 201114 yr That investigation and interrogation video look great. It's surreal that some developers like Rockstar try new things while developers like Bioware just dive in the sewers. I should stop watching these videos because I'm just tormenting myself as Rockstar won't realease PC version Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
March 10, 201114 yr While the idea is cool, it seems like it'd just get routine and not much fun or inventive after a while. For example, just walking up to evidence and clicking on it opens up a cut scene that basically does the work for you. So basically, after doing a few missions, you'll just be walking up to a crime scene and clicking randomly on objects to pick up just to get though to the next stage, instead of actually solving any puzzles. The aspect of interviewing subjects seems better realized though, I just hope the acting isn't so obvious that it leaves little to really think about or decide. It should be what the bulk of the game is about and it can either achieve something pretty intuitive or just fall into the category of scratching the surface as Rockstar games tend to do.

April 15, 201114 yr Sigh, no PC version i'm here regretting that I won't be able to grasp all the subtle nuances of the animations on the ****ty graphics of consoles. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
April 15, 201114 yr Sigh, no PC version i'm here regretting that I won't be able to grasp all the subtle nuances of the animations on the ****ty graphics of consoles. I dunno, since they started as a PS3 exclusive (IIRC), we might actually see something Uncharted II level. I can't call that ****, but then again, my PC is old anc cheap enough to rarely deliver visuals that significantly improve on the console versions. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
May 16, 201114 yr Knowing this forum's stance on reviews I doubt people will be too interested but reviews for the game have started coming out. Eurogamer 8/10 G4TV 5/5 Gamespot 9.0 Editor's Choice Destructoid 9.0 Editor's Choice Edited May 16, 201114 yr by WorstUsernameEver
May 16, 201114 yr Oooh, glad to hear the reviews are good. I was taking a chance getting it knowing so little. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
May 16, 201114 yr Was looking at the Gametrailers review of the game and one thing that really seems to, well... take a lot of the point out of the game is that there seems to be no real "failure" or consequence to how well you do the investigations aside from the ratings on the cases. I really like the ideas of the interrogations and investigations in the game but if there's not a huge feeling of the game reacting to how you accomplish these things, how well you do, then I feel like a lot of it is sorta pointless. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

May 16, 201114 yr Looks great. Would be infinitely better if it stopped pretending to be a game. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
May 17, 201114 yr Is this another Red Dead Redemption? (ie. not coming to PC) Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
