No, there's at least one case where no matter which guy you charge your boss is happy as long as you've got evidence to back it up. If hottie's thinking of the same case as me, I was only about 60% sure I charged the right guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the only big problem in my book. The game generally saves before you start talking to someone or if you enter a location with some you can talk to. If you screw up a line of questioning, you can dashboard and load back in often right before the conversation or a few minutes away from it. (Providing you didn't leave the location the conversation took place in, thus triggering a save). Feels like cheating, but it's a lot less hassle than having to go through entire cases & non-skipable sequences all over again for a single mistake.

When you hit X, you never know if Cole will say something like "I find that hard to believe" or "YOU MURDERED HER YOU ASSHOLE! GIVE IT UP!" I really dislike that if you choose doubt and it's the wrong option, the characters can sometimes give you more information anyway. It can even be information that is helpful, but the game acts as if you were never given it in the first place. Reveal hidden contents When you question the wife during 'The Drivers Seat,' if you doubt her on her on one of the questions (not sure which one it was) she suggests you're an awful man and then provides more information that is arguably useful - but the game still marks you as wrong and doesn't include the information she offers as part of the case.

For some odd reason I was convinced (I think from what people had said online) that you can only play cases start to finish, and there's no middle ground. A lot of people on Metacritic gave it low scores due to that. Idiots. Edited May 22, 2011 by kenshi_ryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I know that. I meant stuff like... Reveal hidden contents ...checking if the overalls really were from Hennessy Marine or were Hugo Moller's. I mean, it's too massive a coincidence to just ignore. I just get the feeling Moller was guilty but they wanted Rooney locked up for it. Real interesting case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the way I saw it; the captain obviously wants you to put away the kiddie peddler. If you put Hugo Moller away, you make his little girl an orphan. At that point, I already suspected that something weird was going on in the story, so I just put away the person that harmed society the most.

Dee Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I just finished the game. To be honest, I thought the ending Reveal hidden contents was a bit of a rush/surprise. I sort of expected Cole to go out in a different way, but I'm also kind of glad that they didn't have him bite the big one in a glorious, spectacular, typical Hollywood ending. Then again, another reason it might've felt that way is because I stopped right before Jack went into the tunnels, which is basically 10 minutes before the ending. I'm not really in the mood to write out a big, long-ass review right now, so I'll just leave you with my thoughts on the ending.

Hot Heart Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Just drove what must have been the whole length of the city to respond to a despatch call for what amounted to a bank robber ditching his gun and running to then be clotheslined by a civilian. THEY DIDN'T EVEN NEED ME GODDAMNIT! Didn't even seem to give me a chance to stop him with a warning shot beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Has anyone read la noire: the collected stories it expands on the stories/characters in the books. I'm waiting for the game to drop in price before I get it, so won't be getting the book yet either, but am wondering if it is worthwhile. I've never read game related fictoin before. edit: Never mind it's not out until 6 June. Edited May 25, 2011 by TheFlyingGerbil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I might read the books because the background and everything seem pretty cool and well-researched...plus I love that sort of thing. And regarding the game: I've reached maximum rank so I now have 5 intuition points left for the next 5 cases?! Yikes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
