[Acquiescence]

Eurogamer has given it 8/10.

CONTROVERSIAL!

Edit - Bit late out of the gate with that one.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

BOMBA!

 

[fierrotlepou]

Definitely not a day 1 game I guess.

 

[rhino4evr]

Wow....lots of 8s. Surprising given the amount of hype.

 

[Chiggs]

Reviews not as high as many had hoped. Should be fun.

 

[Makoto]

IGN just laid it down.

Depending on how much time you devote to exploring the city, it will take anywhere from 12 to 20 hours to beat. Many won't find a reason to return.

Drastically different from the 30-40 that was mentioned very early in the thread.

8.5

L.A. Noire is different. It's not like most video games developed by Rockstar.

First line in that review. Commence GAF meltdown.

Great scores! I hope this thing is in stores by the time I get out of here (jury duty). The wait is killing me!!!

Edit: oh wait I forgot, if it's not at least a 9 it's disappointing. -_-

IGN

L.A. Noire may not reach the emotional heights of a game like Heavy Rain

LOL

 

[nib95]

I just want to see the GT review.

Anaitgames (spanish web): 9/10

Rockstar just tweeted.

"Looking for L.A. Noire reviews? They’ll start hitting worldwide at 12noon EST. #LANoire"

Right after Amazon ships all their copies, amirite?

 

[Uno Venova]

First line in that review. Commence GAF meltdown.

Expected this from a site like IGN lol.

Also the scores look in line with what I expected, look like a great game to rent.

 

[Dabanton]

Nice scores.

Lol at the pre order cancellers.

 

[cwmartin]

Went from iffy to day 1!

 

[SamuraiX-]

Eurogamer has given it 8/10.

CONTROVERSIAL!

The sooner people realize that Eurogamer cannot be taken seriously, the sooner we can all live in a better world.

 

[The Elite]

IGN just laid it down.



Drastically different from the 30-40 that was mentioned very early in the thread.

Reading everything about it, I expected the game to be a very linear experience. I'm cool with the length.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

In summary,

L.A. Noire may not reach the emotional heights of a game like Heavy Rain, but it’s something everyone must try out

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

where's that giantbomb review?

 

[Woffls]

10 from videogamer.com

 

[Lothars]

Eurogamer: 8/10 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-16-l-a-noire-review

(A little spoilery.)

It's Eurogamer, I wouldn't trust them to give actually have a good review anytime, I don't know how anyone can trust what they say but I don't have a problem with the score, just eurogamer.

 

[nib95]

The sooner people realize that Reviews cannot be taken seriously, the sooner we can all live in a better world.

Fixed...

 

[Interfectum]

LOL @ 8s and 9s being considered mediocre now.

 

[hamchan]

First line in that review. Commence GAF meltdown.

Team Bondi was only mentioned once in that whole review

 

[Chiggs]

IGN



LOL

Holy shit!

 

[Makoto]

Reading everything about it, I expected the game to be a very linear experience. I'm cool with the length.

Yeah, despite the disparity, that's still a substantial amount of time.

 

[Yamibito]

I hope you guys are joking about canceling your pre-orders.

 

[Sethos]

Eurogamer has given it 8/10.

CONTROVERSIAL!

... Why is Eurogamer giving every.fucking.game 8?

Good reviews nonetheless, unless you are of the new-school and anything below 9 is crap of course.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Since when is an 8.5 bad??? this is the problem with video game reviews.. give it a 1.5 more points and its THE BEST GAME EVER

everything is higher then 8 so far and that is good enough for me!

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

Team Bondi was only mentioned once in that whole review

I bet they even pronounce it Team Bond-ee!

 

[Numpt3]

I hope you guys are joking about canceling your pre-orders.

It's gaf, they're probably not.

How LA Noire plays

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

IGN gave the 360 version a 7.5 in graphics and the PS3 version an 8.0.

The X360 version suffers from some performance issues -- framerate stuttering and graphical glitches.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Wow, consider my pre-order canceled. Terrible scores all around here! I can't believe Rockstar and Team Bondi let the ball drop like this.

 

[Montresor]

Yeesh what the fuck happened to IGN's layout in the last couple of years. The site is so ugly now... I'm currently reading the LA Noire review there and I'm just thinking about the good old days the whole time, trying to keep my eyes focused away from the horrible site design. =/

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Wow, consider my pre-order canceled. Terrible scores all around here! I can't believe Rockstar and Team Bondi let the ball drop like this.

I miss smileys.. because this post needs one

 

[Dr.Palutena]

I for one am making a preorder just so i can cancel it ! ......

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Great scores! I don't know what some of you guys expected.....

This was never going to be as well received as GTA IV or RDR.

Now time for bed. I expect to wake up to a reliable comparison!

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

IGN gave the 360 version a 7.5 in graphics and the PS3 version an 8.5

Huh, well there you go people who are on the fence about which version to get.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I just want to see the GT review.

Trust me you don't want to SEE the Gametrailers review.

 

[Sethos]

Someone post that chart picture where everything below 9 is rated terrible.

 

[Acheteedo]

IGN gave the 360 version a 7.5 in graphics and the PS3 version an 8.5.

Boom, time to get some popcorn.

 

[abundant]

X Play - 5/5

Adam Sessler reviewed it. He calls it Rockstar's most satisfying game to date

 

[Chiggs]

I'm actually happy about the 12-20 hrs comment. Perfect length.

 

[Ohwiseone]

All I want to read is Giantbombs, Comeon upload soon

 

[Seda]

1up- A

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Boom, time to get some popcorn.

Sorry, it's an 8.0 for the PS3 version, not 8.5. I edited my post.
