What the hell was wrong with collecting the flowers?

As long as its not like playing Kings Quest it should be okay. Not that I didnt like KQ.

Looking forward to this one, ME3 and Elder Scrolls V.

I hated collecting flowers. No I hated that it was such an important part of the game. If it was merely a few missions but they had 1 too many missions and goals where you needed to collect flowers.

Should have done more missing gold, buried treasure things like that.

I agree...I was being funny damn it! :evil: 8)

WTF, I liked collecting the flowers. Almost as much fun as getting ambushed by mountain lions.

Pretty impressive. An impressive evolution of the gta-style open world game.

A few new videos of LA Noire were released this month. I found this one especially impressive. Loads of recognizable film and TV actors including two more from Mad Men. I nearly shed tears of joy when I saw the former Bullocks building on Wilshire at the 2:30 mark. This is probably my favorite building exterior in all of Los Angeles. It's currently a library for Southwestern Law School.

Thanks for sharing LA. I was also reading an interview, may have been Eurogamer where the devs said the main story is between 30-35 hours and doesn't include side missions or DLC. :)

I'm probably going to go with PS3 since the game was originally planned as PS3 only. I've heard that the video they have been showing has all been from the PS3, but i can't confirm that.

Was this supposed to be a PS3 exclusive, kinda shocked by that decision. Both games should look similar but I really do like the 360 controller.

360 or PS3, I am going PS3 because I would hate to get RROD after 27 hours of gameplay, even with a new 360.

Usually its a slam dunk for me to go 360 cause of controller and Live but this does put it in a different light....I guess I will be waiting to read how it all turns out.

They announced over a year ago it wouldn't be a ps3 exclusive. It's not like they just jammed-in some 360 code 2 weeks ago or anything.

Thanks for posting this -- it continues to look incredible. Can't wait to spend a bunch of time with the game this summer.

Looks like they got everyone from Mad Men in this game.

I still am on the fence w/ this one. Like toon said, I don't want to be watching more than playing the game.

I have never played MGS4 for this reason alone and having to wait an hour for it to install to the HDD. :P

It feels like we've been waiting for a coon's age for this game. Time needs to speed up!

"2200 pages of script; 400 actors used in the game; 20 cases; hundreds of developers working on this game during the last couple of years; two TV seasons' worth of content to experience.."


inside info, in this article. Interesting.

I tried switching my order back to the PS3 version but Amazon wouldn't do it a second time, crap. I would have liked to get the free case included with the PS3 version. It also looks like Walmart and Gamestop will have an extra exclusive case both for the PS3 and 360 versions if you buy it from them. I hate when publishers do this.

I hope they'll let you buy them via DLC in the future.

Recently scored a $75 Amazon gift certificate through work and think it's time to get my pre-order in for PS3. Really looking forward to this one.
