I feel this way too, I don't like it telling me I got it right or wrong.. what is the point?? even if you get 0/6 and they did commit the crime the game will make sure you find evidence and finish the case no matter what anyways. (I don't really like that but oh well)

A lot of people are missing investigation questions because they don't understand the distinction between lie and doubt. It works like this:
Truth - Derp
Doubt - You think they are lying, but don't have any specific proof.
Lie - You think they are lying, and have a specific piece of evidence in your possession that proves it.
Basically, the times you pick "lie" are generally pretty obvious:
"I wasn't at the movies!"
*player selects 'lie' & pulls out the dude's movie ticket stub*
In defense of the player, the game DOES explain this point, but doesn't explain it very well, in my opinion. Since doubt/lie are fuzzy anyway, the tutorial interview should have really hammered on this point, so everyone got it. Cole probably should have verbalized his thoughts for that first one "Hmm... I don't trust them, but I don't have any proof. I should push by 'doubting' their story..."

It's amazing that you get this much diversity in one of the first REAL cases. Can't imagine what's in store down the road!
And that comic is hilarious.

Impressions of the first ten minutes - the driving is way too touchy.
I only have impressions of the first ten minutes because my PS3 got its third YLOD as I walked up to the first store you visit.

I feel like the crime scene investigation needs a first person view option or at least a closer over the should camera.

YES. I perfected GTA driving but Team Bondi threw that out the window.

Hope I don't jinx myself, but just wanted to say that I'm playing 360 off the disc and haven't had a single framerate issue, no freezing or slow down, nothing. Not sure if there's been Pop because I speed like a maniac and am too focused on dodging stuff to focus on the outer city. I can say I haven't seen it in my regular field of vision. Really enjoying the game so far as the interrogations are a blast and I love trying to find all the clues before the questioning. It stings when I see I missed a clue in the end case results though haha Stopped at the Fallen Idol and I've seen a few of you say that's an awesome case so can't wait to play it tonight.
To those that want perfection: You should really just play the game normal for the full experience and then just do a seperate 5 star run after you beat the game. You're only going to mar your experience by replaying most missions right after beating them and what's the fun if you're perfect right from the start? It's equivalent to playing a mario game with invinciblity and the inability to fall off cliffs...
Are you a Rockstar community member? Check out that community option from the main menu, you have to be a member to get that outfit.The Antitype said:Damnit. I've become a detective, and I'm past rank 3 (which some people are saying when it comes up), but I still don't have it. So lame.
I had the exact same occurence as you. Did anyone go back to Ray's and see what was different? Also, I somehow missed a single clue on this case, no idea how because I searched the area pretty damn thoroughly. Look foward to finding out what it was when I go back for the five star rating later.Evlar said:

Reports coming in that new PS3 firmware is causing issues with this and older units, anyone had similar issues?

Damn, full weight of the car resting on the roof. They don't make 'em like they used to!

I did the same thing regarding driving off a cliff trying to get to the apartment, but did NOT flip. Landed on the nose, dropped down on the tires and kept driving.

Uh oh... So apparently there's chatter in the PSN thread that LA Noire is causing problems with PS3s like over-heating and so on when the latest firmware (3.61) is installed. Has anyone here encountered the problems yet? If so, what model of PS3 do you have?
Copied from my post in the PSN thread... Does the game give the option to install, and does the problem still occur if you do install it? I picked up the PS3 version last night but haven't opened it yet... Might suck up the 3-disc nonsense and exchange for the 360 version if the PS3 version is going to give me problems (I have the 80gb "Motorstorm bundle" PS3).
Just terrible, terrible timing.

Still on the first case, why does it restart the interogation everytime I pick the wrong answer or evidence? Is this basically a tutorial and later on it doesnt let you do that?

yeah
I've only played through the first detective case.. but I've already taken part in five side missions.. how do you possibly ignore a dispatch call when they say an officer needs assistance or that there's been an officer involved shooting? I can't not go.. plus, because it's LA, where I live.. I feel a weird kind of duty.
Anyone get the
I do get the impression that I've put several dozen people into the ground in a single afternoon. Why am I alwasy calling for ambulances? There must be less violent ways of getting through these missions, right?
Anyone get the
crazy person side mission yet? Is it possible to finish that mission without the guy dying?

Thats kinda cool then. I didnt find
the knife until the second visit, and I think I should've visited the supect driver and the coroner before going to the house to question the other two.

Tackling or firing your gun in the air (aim at their back until the circle fills). Not sure if you can do either in every side call though.

I have not had any problems at all (besides a noisy drive) but if anything is happening inside my PS3 I will rage!! this is the first multi platform game I have got on PS3 and I am already regretting my decision because of the controller, I don't need anything else to worry about.
I'm on the last desk (set of cases)...so late game spoiler...don't really understand why
Cole suddenly got demoted because of the scandal. Why did that even happen in the first place? I remember seeing the cutscene of him going that girl's place but why was he doing that? I must have missed something in the story because it felt way too forced. I thought i messed something up in the case but Im assuming its part of the story anyway

God damn is this game sloppy with its story telling, the end of vice was so forced and out of no where it makes you wonder how much was cut from this game. It really ripped me out of the experience, it was so shitily foreshadowed and so poorly built up. Any thoughts? I am surprised it was never discussed in reviews.
Each case has presented an interesting Case Note at the end of it.
The Fallen Idol one:
On The First Homicide case
On the second homicide case now.
oh, and knock on wood, I've got a launch PS3, the new FW, and played LA Noire for 5 hours yesterday. KNOCK ON DAT WOOD
The Fallen Idol one:
Said that if I had made it to Bishop's aparement faster, I could have given McAfee's Goons "Whats for." Old English phrasing :jnc
On The First Homicide case
I ended up solving the case with both the husband (because of the note) and the Latino (because of the license plate number from the bar owner) for the murder.
But something feels totally wrong about that situation, specifically the bar owner. He says she left with someone he really didn't know, and just happens to notch down the complete plate number and write it down. That + a bloody box, wrench and lipstick just left open on the floor in that same guy's apartment, just seems off. Feels like a setup between the bar owner and husband to implicate the other guy, instead of just the husband hiring a random guy to kill his wife.
I wonder what would have happened if I had went back to station after arresting the husband, and not went straight to the other guy's apartment. A possible interrogation?
