I know what you mean. You just have to be damn sure of your evidence when you select lie, or they'll make you pay for it. Doubt is really just based on their body language and your gut instinct.Tom Penny said:It's still hard to get all the answers right even when you have to pick between doubt and truth. They fool me.

oh wow, HUGE LOST OPPURTUNITY HERE

I just did a side mission. There was
a kid about to jump from a building, and you had to get up there and stop him. Sadly there was just a cinematic when i got up there and i automatically saved him. I was expecting to have to talk to him to get him down, and if I said the wrong things, he would have jumped. Would have been a lot more intense and exciting.
If I don't answer a street mission dispatch, will I be able to do it later in the game or is it gone forever?
Also, man I'm loving this game. One lady shifted her weight during her story, and I knew that was a tell sign of being nervous/shady, and I was right. Booyah.

Is there a subtle film grain in this game or is it just noise...hopefully its not my tv because I'm seeing it a lot recently.

I've had people shift eyes but still be truthful. Throws me off.
I also love when I use an Intuition point to remove an answer and it's usually the one I knew wouldn't be the answer like 8 times out of 10.

Care to explain?
I have finished 8 cases and I am currently on the "golden butterfly" the game is so awesome and I'm having a blast but it sure is a little repetitive some of the homocide cases feel exactly the same.

I am trying my best to try and ninja a copy from a stupid arse Kmart or Target staff member.... I've paid for my copy at EB but if I can get it today rather than tomorrow hahah... god, such a douche
Why is the facial animation stuff so impressive to people? A designer didn't create some new algorithm to animate something; it's a recording of an actual person's movements. It may as well just be an FMV of some guy's face, and then you decide whether the dude in the clip you just watched was telling the truth or not.
Just like every Rockstar game after GTAIII; I don't get it.

It seriously took you 99 pages of the OT to decide what system to get it for. Amazing!

And the final decision is in!
Preferred controller + inability to access bonus content on PSN = 360 FTW! Installing all three discs now. Time to get mah noire on!

We're already done and moved on to Red Dead Revenge and Grand Theft Auto VII.
Edit: Fuck you, Greg Grunberg.
I interrogate him rather successfully up until the "history of violence" questioning. Even though he's uncomfortable, nervous, looking at different directions... he's telling the truth? Goddamn.
Edit 2: My spoiler is wrong. I am wrong. Goddamn it! :lol
I'm in the middle of Fallen Idol and loving it so far. The cases are getting a lot more deep and complex.
But I can't help feeling a sense of lost opportunity. Maybe I haven't gotten to any yet, but I wanted things like hostage negotiations and such to really make use of the face animation.
LA is also REALLY bland so far. The previous rockstar games had very distinct locales within the map that had their own life to them. here, LA feels like a maze you have to traverse in order to get to destination to destination. I NEVER fast traveled on my first playthrough of Red Dead or GTAIV. Here, I'm having my partner drive most of the time.
It just doesn't feel alive to me. But maybe its because I'm early on in the game. Its just... the map is so big and so accurate apparently, but it seems most of it is to waste...
I think this is one of those games that will be a fantastic experience, but one in which the sequel/spiritual succesor to this game will expand upon.
Like I said, its still an amazing experience thus far, its just I feel there's a lot of missed opportunities.

Anyways, I have to say I'm sort of surprised homicide isn't the best desk. For some reason I expected it to be. The story for it is interesting enough, but I think the other ones are what really push this game into greatness territory for me.

I rather they didn't do the open world. But i don't mind doing the fast travel. Hopefully I don't miss the side missions doing the fast travel.

Has Rockstar ever published a game with decent controls? I mean Jesus Christ. I'm about four hours in and enjoying myself for the most part but the controls are definitely rough.

just check your map before you fast travel, if you select one of them then the fast travel takes you there instead

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
tbh, it'd be better if you had partners stick around with you for longer. There's a lack of personal relationships to hold a certain kind of attention. I feel like I'm strolling along, never really feeling particularly driven. Hopefully things start to come together later.

Cleared my first case...so far I'm really enjoying it.
The facial animations are pretty revolutionary. It's amazing to have mouth motions actually match what's being said. Things like this make games more accesible in my opinion.

Basically, if they act like they are telling the truth, then pick that option. If they look like they're lying but you have no proof then choose "doubt" and if you do have proof choose "Lie"

Haven't played much but I think I'm going to like it. I wish I never read about X-files DLC for Halloween because I know they won't do it and I cannot not play that now. Gah!
