# That's the one.
How's LA Noire turning out? Worth sacrificing a few luxuries to get hold of?
Or better to wait a coupla months and get it cheaper?

# now, that's a question
the only reason to get a game at release is, imo, for multiplayer so you can play with buddies online and not feel like johnny no mates, or so you can discuss it with others at the time that it's relevent.
it is good. i've played it a fair bit and so far my only complaint is it seems hard to be able to just go off and explore the map and find fun stuff to do, unrelated to the central story line

# Which makes it sound painfully close to Mafia and Mafia 2, which both had that problem.
But you've answered my question there, so ta ;)

# i had mafia 2, which was ok
but you're right with the comparison, so far. it may change as i get further into the game.
red dead was awesome as a good story/game. i would put this between M2 and RDR.
I would put it closer to RDR for being generally better, but closer to M2 for how it seems to play, so far. you on xbox, or ps3?

# xbox here.
Loved the characterisation/narrative in RDR, but found the gameplay itself a bit humdrum.
Brain is stalling over what M2 is, though. Unless it's Mass Effect 2, which I liked but found a tad sterile.
(Favourites are Fallout 3 etc and Oblivion)

# Mafia 2
I have Mass Effect 2, though i haven't played it yet. still.
Fallout 3 was good, but i lost interest after doing a few of the expansions (i bought the ultimate edition for £20, long after it was released) I think i enjoyed the story in RDR as i did a lot of the side missions with a buddy, so we spent hours picking flowers and laughing about playing a game which entailed picking flowers.
Most of the characters in LA N are very good, it is very much like playing a movie. I recommend buying it, though not at the expense of food, beer or prositutes.
is your gamertag Sea Tramp?

# Not an online gamer myself.
The whole experience, as far as I can tell, seems to combine the very least enjoyable aspects of playing computer games with the very least enjoyable aspects of being with people.
Into an unenjoyable whole.

# ah, it can seem that way. it can be hilarious too
it really depends on what games you tend to play online.

# Only this one, really.
And it does my fucking head in, but I keep coming back!
