themanwithnoname on 13 May 2011

I find it hard to be excited for a game they've shown absolutely minimal gameplay of. I mean, it's a few days from launch, I've watched all the trailers, and I still have no clue how it plays. Not too surprising, considering Rockstar's marketing it.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

I think this game should be a top 3 GOTY contender in 2011.  Looks absolutely amazing and ground-breaking for a video-game.


You haven't even played it!?

To bad its not on PC, so im not getting it. Good looking game though.

Ditto on this.

Is this more linear than GTA or is it just GTA in the 1920s?

I believe it is set in the 1940s.  Also, it isn't supposed to be a sandbox game, so it won't be quite like GTA.  The idea is to make one feel they are in a noire detective story, thus the title.  Rockstar doesn't only do sandbox games, eventhough that is what they are noted for.

You know, originally I put 1940s but just switched it to 20s because of the mafia vibe I was getting from the game. Thanks for the input.

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Is it true that you can only buy this at Walmart?  If so this stinks since I'm a union guy.  Not that I planned on buying this game, but buying from Walmart goes against my beliefs.

OT:  It does look like a good game for what it is.

Always nice to get a few perfect scores in on a upcoming game.

I have a feeling in terms of reviews the game is going to be VERY high on Metacritic.

I do wonder though if it will be able to see similar success in sales to Red Dead Redemption. Either way it looks simply fantastic.


While I hope they are, I believe they shouldn't.

L.A. Noire took 7 years to make and if IGN and other outlets reviews of GT5 are anything to go by, this game should get docked point because of the dev time.

Utterly utterly ridiculous.

OT: 2 perfect score so far, bodes well!

It's called a joke.

 

I have had this game preordered for a long time now and picking it up on Tuesday.
