TheMightyEthan Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah, I think it could be played with someone else. The meat of this game is not really in holding the controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 What others have said. L.A. Noire is almost a co-op game in the non-traditional sense. You could even have the observer play the part of Cole's partners! "Gays and blacks and womens? Urgh..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I played most of the game with my roommate and our friend watching. Definitely works great for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteer01 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wife and I started playing tonight. So far we both like it. Interesting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Definitely playable with more than one person present. Even my mum really wanted to see what would happen next. @Dean: What character development are you talking about, Dean? I don't disagree that it started getting a bit extreme, but IIRC the circumstances were extreme. And it did some really cool narrative stuff later.

deanb Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 The rather sudden "you're an adulterer, here's you breaking up with the wife you never met, now to bump you down a few rings" part. You've got this guy that's meant to be portrayed as a good cop, incorruptible n all that. Yet the story suddenly throws in this thing that you're cheating on your wife? It's especially a bit jarring because the game pretty much entirely focused on Cole at work and suddenly his home life was thrown into the mix. And with how temperamental the truth/doubt/lie system was you never really got much of a clear picture of what Cole was apart from some kind of weird unstable psycho who'd shout at you just because your boiler blew up hours before.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 They totally give you hints that it's coming, that you're playing as a character who is human. It's not that jarring IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I didn't think it was jarring, but I did think it was weird how central to the plot yet poorly fleshed out the whole thing was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteer01 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Thank you for the Spoiler tag, Dean. Did not click, and follow up comments did not run anything for me. (Good forum.) Edited January 6, 2012 by peteer01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
