Holy crap, I didn't notice this either. That wasn't part of the deal when I first pre-ordered.

Be warned that the preorder bonus of LA Noire is the standard, non-complete edition. I was under the impression that the Complete Edition is the only version of LA Noire available on PC, but alas....

Any news on modding support?

Preordered.
Or I could preorder a physical copy of Max Payne 3, which, at least over here, is more than 10 cheaper than preordering it on Steam and then pick up LA Noire from the Steam summer sale.
And I'd pay 10 Euro for Steamworks support, I got that, L.A Noire AND Max Payne 1 & 2. Score!
Has Steamworks support been confirmed? The game's Steam Store page still has no mention of Steamworks features.

35gb installation and Solidshield Gamewrap. My interest for this game just got much lower.
It has been said a few times the Steam version will have most all of the usual Steamworks features, might turn out to be bogus but I'll trust them
Ah, yeah, I just found this FAQ, which didn't show up on Google when searching yesterday (or I just missed it

Strange that the Store page has yet to be updated.
Sucks that there's no Steam Cloud save.Ah, yeah, I just found this FAQ, which didn't show up on Google when searching yesterday (or I just missed it

Can´t see any reason to buy the Steam version of this game then, if they are using their own system for pretty much everything.
Thank god it's optional, eh.
Apart from having easy access to the game, achievements (if you're into them) and a nice play time display.
There's no reason to buy retail.

Yep.
The thing is that when a publisher decides to do their own thing with a gaming platform like Rockstar Social Club, I´m not really prepared to pay full price until I know how it works and that I see a good reason for it existing. It´s not Steam or nothing for me, since I like other things like GOG ,Telltales store and DRM free titles sold elsewhere, but as I´m unfamiliar with Rockstar Social Club, it went from preorder to $10 Amazon sale title.
When they add 3rd party DRM and a separate online platform to the Steam version, I don´t consider it easy access anymore.

Don't worry too much, the FOV on the console version were actually great. Never had any issues with the camera either. Compared to Alan Wake which was basically unplayable for my weird little mind on 360.
How can that change anything, it's just an extra piece of software that install during the installation. Steam still provides ease of access and the ability to add to your combined Steam library plus automatic patching. Rather than having to deal with other digital sites or annoying disc based copies ( imo ).
I'm not gonna play Max Payne 3 anytime soon, but I pre-ordered it and I'm going to tell you why, even though nobody asked it:
A) Rockstar seems to be FINALLY taking the right path when "porting" games to the PC. They're saying that they developed each version concurrently to the strengths of each platform. I chose to believe it.
B) I live in Brazil, and Rockstar prices their shit accordingly. LA Noire released cheaper down here (35 vs 45 if I recall correctly), and so did Max Payne 3 (45 bucks as opposed to 59).
C) Rockstar was nice enough to throw in LA Noire (a 20 bucks game) on my Max Payne 3 45 bucks purchase AND the first set of DLC. That's 20 bucks for LA Noire, 20 bucks for Max Payne 3 and 5 bucks for the DLC (if you want to do stupid math).
D) I already have all GTAs, Bully and a friend gifted me both Max Payne 1 and 2. LA Noire and Max Payne 3 are the only Rockstar games I'm missing.
E) Game takes place in my fucking country, 1 hour from where I live. Most of the voice over from that section of the game is in my language, with no translated subtitles. How can I not buy it and laugh at the mistakes?
And, most importantly, I like to reward developers that do things right. Bring it on, Max Payne 3.

wtf
the sli part ok i get but what the fuck is don't support oc? is this an official r* rep?
Errr if I'm not mistaken the game will always be "right click -> install game" in your Steam library. Can't really get more simple than that.

So I'm taking it you don't play video games on a computer.
Oh, cool, let's hope that's enough then. I just beat Stacking on PC and had to crank up the FOV to 95 because it was making me dizzy, so you know.
I wouldn't mind just playing with .inis to change this stuff, either.

That Rockstar social stuff sounds stupidly annoying when they could have achieved everything using Steamworks. At least it's not GFWL.

Wish I would have waited to play this game on the PC... but I got it for the PS3. Awesome game (with some annoyances) and will for sure look amazing on the PC. I just got a GTX 670 too, and my computer already sports a i3930k six core, and 32gb of ram so it seems like this game would be perfect for it (the system was built first for work purposes). I might buy the PC version as well just so I can play it in 3D (love my 3D Vision) and with all the graphic enhancements. Plus the better framerate will definitely make a difference gameplay wise.
I hope the online community on the PC turns out decent for this game.

It's only giftable if you already owned it to begin with.

So is the actual pre-load going to be 28.5 GB? Or will it be smaller and unpack to the 28.5?
The files from the registry report 28,5, so I guess that's the actual download size as well.

I only ended up going with the digital version because the retail keys can't be redeemed on Steam.
Also they gave me LA Noire for free.
I guess I'll need to be careful with my downloads this month!
Yeah, imagine having to swap 4 discs, sitting there listening to the damn drive spin at 600mph and see the install bar move at one percent an hour
I think my 111 Mbit connection will be able to beat it, hopefully - If the Steam servers are up to the challenge.plagiarize

quite probably. i'm not suggesting disc installs are quicker... but the size of my steam folder is well above the 250 gigs i'm allowed to download in a month, and doing more than a tenth of my monthly allowance for one game makes me nervous given that i usually come pretty close to 250.
If you don't have it, it shows up on your game list.

I ordered a boxed copy, so I'm eagerly awaiting the destruction of my DVD drive as I try to install all those disks.
I already own LA Noire so I figured it would be in my inventory but it's not.
Edit: Restarting steam made it show up.
