  • Just finished L.A. Noire

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Anyone else have issues with the last couple of hours?

Let's try to keep it spoiler free for those who haven't finished

Yo.
Spoiler: show
I certainly was underwhelmed by the last leg. And that scavenger hunt was pretty damn annoying too, especially the platforming section (climbing the building).

I think the search for clues just go overly elaborate to the point of ridiculous. And I didn't like the ending.

However, I still think it was a very good game.

Geeze that spoiler tag was completely spoiler free for a thread about the end of the game :D

I've decided I'll buy the game at some point when it's on sale and I'm done with Catherine and Bastion.

What I really hated was the weird turn they made Cole go on. He was such a boy scout then bam, completely torn down. I thought they'd at least let him build back up, coulda been kinda neat to bring the Orgami killer (hmm, haven't seen that in a recent game....) and restore his name but no, they went way weird with him and replaced him with another "main" character 90% of the way through.

You spend all that time investing in one character and they throw him to the side like yesterday's dinner....stupid.

It still is a great game, it's fun to play, and there's tons of great about it. But man, that was just a weird and destructive "twist" they added. You can almost tell they have no idea how to craft a storyline. It was so odd considering how well the first 18 hours went
