TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Anyone having any trouble with this game making their console overheat? Maybe something to be careful of if your console is already on its last legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I played it for about 11 hours straight on PS3 on release day and didn't have an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Got my copy today. Thoughts to come later... D= Howwwwww I pre-order from GAME, and Friday releases always arrive at least a day early (got Uncharted II two days early) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I beat it, though it certainly wasn't short. I clocked in at around 19 hours. Man, what a game! I'm already attempting to 100% it. That was some ending. This game is so amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm thinking this is gonna be the second game I ever 100%, RDR being the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I really fucked up the last two homicide cases I did. For some weird reason, it actually upset me. I am not the type to ever throw a controller or rage at my console, but getting so many questions wrong and missing evidence that probably would have helped my interrogations bothered me. I had a huge urge to go back and redo the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Part of the problem for me is that I don't always agree with the game about whether or not a given piece of evidence proves a suspect to be lying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. This just seems to be an inherent problem with games like this, because it happens to me in Phoenix Wright too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah, picking the right evidence with which to confront someone can be tricky. I usually look back at the log to see the dialogue because my brain is sometimes sort of jumping ahead with regards to what has been established. Although the last case I did (last traffic one) really bugged me because it treated some connected evidence as two separate entries. What do I use: evidence from the scene, or evidence from their location?! When the case wound up it seemed like maybe I should've picked a different conversational choice but I'm not 100% on that...

Yantelope Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 On the overheating thing: New game comes out, people log far more hours than usual on said console and are shocked when it overheats. GASP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 but roockstar have admitted that it is a fault and are working on a patch. Unless the patch flashes a popup saying you've played enough for one day then it is a genuine fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the patch flashes a popup saying you've played enough for one day then it is a genuine fault. No they haven't. They said at first that they had received "a very small number" of reports of overheating, but now they're saying they've confirmed that it is not caused by LA Noire. I'm with Yant, it's probably just that a few people's consoles overheat and naturally they blame it on the game that they're currently playing. As for the evidence thing, what I would have liked to see (though I understand it would have meant a ton more work) would be that they decided how relevant various pieces of evidence were to each question, and then have different responses based on which evidence you picked. So there might be one piece that is the "best" piece of evidence and gets you the most info, but another piece that is still somewhat related and so you get more than nothing.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 their solution doesn't exactly sound like it is a simple problem of overheating from playing too long saying you should delete caches/game data and create new users it's not exactly 'turn it off for a bit' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 2 different issues: 1) freezing, which they say is caused by LA Noire, and which has the solution you mentioned 2) overheating, which they're saying isn't caused by LA Noire Also, just beat the game. I loved it. Took me just over 20 hours. I didn't want it to end though. Sony's saying the PS Store should be up next tuesday, so hopefully I'll be able to get my pre-order cases then.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 do you think you'd enjoy replaying it now you know how to solve the cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I think I would because I've been playing without any hints and getting four stars on every case. Always room for improvement. Only annoying thing, as Ethan pointed out, would be the unskippable cutscenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Actually, I've noticed that most of the cutscenes can be skipped. The exception is the cutscene at the beginning of each case. Also, I wanted to add this: (MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS) I'm fucking pissed that that motherfucker Roy Earle spoke at my funeral. Oh, and yeah, I think I'll enjoy replaying the cases. I'll definitely turn off all hints the second time around, but I don't think I remember them well enough to take the mystery out of them. I mean, I might remember the end result, but the game is about the process and I really doubt I'll remember the specific process for any given case all that well.

I found that one at the end proved to be a pretty cathartic experience, because of my pent-up anger for that bastard Roy. Also, I loved his performance at the end. You can clearly hear his disdain and how he's pretty much going through the motions (including that bastard captain), and it plays like an extra "fuck you" to the player, in addition to the way the DA and police chief cut a deal. The way they don't tie everything up in a nice, neat little bow just hammers in the fact that it's an experience unlike any other. Whoops! Had a teensy bit of a slip-up with the spoiler tags the first time I posted that. Hopefully no one saw anything.

Is that the one where Phelps pulls the gun on Roy and says "if you ever say anything about Courtney I will blow your fucking brains out"? If so, I also enjoyed that.

HotChops Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm on disc 3. I've been binge-playing the game for the last couple of days. It's amazing how immersive the game is. During the homicide chapter, loose ends from solved cases would nag at me while I wasn't playing the game. I sucked at the beginning of the game, but I've gotten a lot better. I'm starting to really think like a detective. I wasn't bothering to drive other vehicles much, but then I noticed the vehicle gallery in the Extras section. Note that Jay Leno's car collection is listed in the credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 For those who might be having trouble finding the Free Roam mode (I sure as hell did), you get to it by going to the cases menu, then at the bottom of each desk's folder there's a free roam option (except the patrol desk). Each desk has its own unique street crimes too, so you'll have to do it for all the desks to get all the street crimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Oh, also, (and I freely admit this is just me being anal) can people on the 360 say maybe what desk they're on rather than what disc? Cause on the PS3 it's only one disc so I don't have any idea what part of the game each disc starts or ends at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
