So if the case conclusion doesn't change no matter how good or bad you do, does it effect your character's overall story/progression? How does that work?

I know right... I'm hardly even feel like posting.
Guys... fucking WHO CARES exactly who developed what.
It was a joint effort by Team Bondi and Rockstar with a majority of the development done by Bondi. This is pure FACT.
Lets LEAVE IT AT THAT. END OF DISCUSSION. Now, lets go back to hyping the shit outta this awesome game!
Review embargo ends while I will be sleeping, and our USA friends will have the game while I'm sleeping also... I will be disappointed if GAF doesn't give me 20 pages over night!!!
YOU CAN DO IT GAF!!

It's out of context to be fair.
No, same story conclusion.

Is there any incentive / reward to do good on a case? Like achievement wise, character upgrade wise, etc?

It's not in the main review body, it's falls under 'Entertainment' on the summary column.

I'm with ya man!
Ok, I'll try again, since it was the last post on the previous page:
For people who have played the game already, does it feel satisfying when solving cases? I mean, is it really hard at times to solve a case? Do you REALLY have to think, and draw conclusions, tie loose ends together, etc. etc.? Or is it all really easy?

After hearing that GTAIV was Oscar worthy, nothing sounds as bad.
Interfectum said:
Someone a good few pages back(I would link it if we still had the old search function that worked) with the game said that you can get through cases by totally screwing up but you will potentially if not likely miss a lot of stuff, he said an entire swath of info about a particular character completely changing his perspective on him opened up due to correctly conducting an investigation and interrogation that was no present when the case was fumbled. So yes there outside of getting intuition points and fancy 4 star ranking.

Weird, I could've sworn I read that you would get promoted based on how well you solved the case or something. Maybe I'm thinking of a different game...

It's just a jokey reference to a popular tag-line from some old coming attractions. To be fair it was used more for low-budget horror movies rather than noir films, but it's not like the editor made up the line for this review.
Yeah Gamefly rules. I havent purchased a game in almost two years..and Ive played nothing but AAA games the week of release.JohngPR said:I think it's ironic that you got a ship notice for renting it before I got a ship notice from Amazon for buying it.
It's amazing to me why more folks don't use it.
Last game I rented was Portal 2.
it's a little after the game comes out, but this Thursday for those interested, TCM has a few film noir flicks coming up:
The Big Sleep
His Kind of Woman
The Killers
Where Danger Lives
Crime in the Streets
Side Street
obviously the de facto one here is The Big Sleep (Bogey as Philip Marlowe), but the rest I can either vouch for or say they look pretty solid. Granted you SHOULD be playing LA Noire instead, but definitely worth setting the DVR for.

if you got release date delivery, in most cases you won't get the shipping email from amazon until tonight. I usually get mine after business hours. They typically send all release date delivery orders by NBD PM.JohngPR said:I think it's ironic that you got a ship notice for renting it before I got a ship notice from Amazon for buying it.

I don't use it because I love having a collection of games. Plus, I don't really have enough time to play games that I wouldn't mind buying.rhino4evr said:

I believe you receive your rank and intuition points are based on your performance, but they offer nothing outside of the interrogations (from what I've read).
Yeah I hear yeah...my priorities have changed a bit since having a daughter...so I don't game as much. No real reason to collect games anymore. If I want to replay something, I can always just rent it again. I like to think of it like a library of sorts. It's worked great for my needs.The_Darkest_Red said:
Anyway..can't wait. Really excited to see if this lives up to all the hype
Don't know if anyone's posted this, but Joystiq has a writeup regarding a previously unheard of DLC available in short supply at Best Buy midnight launch:

Some people got very uppity over people saying Rockstar instead of Team Bondi, to the point that it shitted up the thread and got on a lot of people's nerves, mine included. As such, I'm knowningly incorrectly referring to the game as a wholly Rockstar game just to spite them.

I do enjoy a good slick-paced shooter. Also, sign me up for some of those 2 KB memory cards!Kosma said:
for anyone else with this question.. all you need to know is:panda21 said:
PS3 has an exclusive case (likely not to be released for 360)
PS3 is only one disc, not 3
Game was developed with PS3 as lead platform
Game does not use the same engine as GTAIV and RDR (RAGE)
Bottom line is if you own both systems, the best bet for pre-order at this point is PS3.. Even if the 360 comes out "a little" better, you are STILL better off with PS3 IMHO. The PS3 version, aka lead version, would have to be noticeably worse than the 360 (aka the port) for it to make sense to go with the 360.
I mean it's your call... but if performance remains relatively equal, there is nothing in favor of the PS3... well, I suppose unless you truly hate the DS3 enough to forego a single disc and extra case.

I'd like to know this too.....it would seriously suck if the exclusive case was US only.
