L.A. Noire is a true gem from the ps3/360 era. It's one of the most underappreciated games of that time and gets over shadowed by the other rockstar games such as GTA, Max Payne, RDR, Man Hunt etc..
I honestly reckon its something I go back to every 3 or 4 years, and while I don't always finish it every time, I always have a great time when I go back
@@HowGoodGames I have a Vive but still haven't purchased the VR version. I've been playing the PS4 version on my PS5 for the 1st time today. I noticed it recommended the VR capabilities in the home screen, only moments before my previous comment.
Just finished it for the first time today. Can honestly say the core heart of the game is the most original and era defining idea I’ve ever seen. I don’t know why more games haven’t adapted that style with capturing the actors face on the characters for the effect of dialogue to come through the screen. Honestly only complaint is that the story kind of jumps from one thing to the next so you’re a little confused when things kick off but the gameplay is too amazing to not experience. I don’t even watch crime shows or ever been really into cop dramas or police work in general but the way this game is designed is so unique it’s like experiencing a game ahead of its time even though it’s quite old. If you haven’t played it yet honestly just pick it up and have a go because there’s no other game around that can give you that experience
Glad you enjoyed it so much! I think it will always feel like a game ahead of its time until someone makes another game with this sort of tech. I really hope one day that happens, but completely agree with everything you added!
i just finished it last night and after ending credits and cutscene i'm back on grey screen with resume game and i remember having 47/95 cars discovered and 11/13 newspaper stories read, if i was to start a new game does all that found stuff stay? it's a long game and sort of debating if i wanna replay just for few missed bits lol and maybe get a few more questions right along the way this time.
Imagine if we got a single player detective game with multiple branching paths and storylines, characters and stuff.. instead we get 3 generations of the same game from 2013
@@HowGoodGames I Think Rockstar could do allot with Random crimes like maybe you have calls for silly things like breaking up a fight and using a dilalgue system like RDR2 to diffuse situations. Having a branching story and some side quests that are like Witcher 3 would be good as the witcher 3 is basicaly a detective fantasy game. I always wished that game Agent did not get cancelled.
It doesn't even need it. The story and everything is still great. It would look a bit cooler, sure, but it still looks pretty good, even by today's standards. Everything but the faces looks like a middle-of-the-road modern game, and the faces are better than most games coming out today.
La noire is my favorite rockstar game. It’s not perfect but it absolutely nailed the vibe of 1940s, I remember this is one of those games I bought and couldn’t stop playing. Something about it just drew me in in away few other games have done
It’s sad that it’s probably going to have to. I think people would legitimately lose their shit if an la noire 2 announcement happened, but that feels like a pipe dream these days. This game is so good!
You would hope, they’ve remastered it and done it in VR, clearly there is still demand. I would love to see what it could be after two whole console generations as well!
During a Rockstar investors call they said that they would love to do a sequel to L.A. Noire and other games (the other mentioned game was Bully IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN) so it could be possible
This was one of the best games I've ever played! I wish Rockstar would make a modern version as an NYPD detective in an open world setting, man I wish there was a series X enhanced edition because my god I miss this game and would love to see it with modern graphics.
Thanks for watching and commenting bro! Ok question, I’ve been thinking about this as a fan as well. If we got a remaster with modern graphics, if they lost the Silicon Valley look to everything would it make it better? Or would it make it feel just, not like LA noire anymore?
I love this game. Bought it from the PS store (for my Ps4) last week, and iust finished it today. Beautiful looking game - and it cannot be stated enough just how incredible the facial animations are - I was utterly fascinated by everything being said, cut scene or not, because the mouth movements are so uniquely good. The open world too - this seems to be a point of debate - as some feel that its lacking compared to GTA. Well, I liked it. I liked that you were given a splice of L.A to explore, rather than an entire city - because it ultimately led to this feeling that there was the remainder of this huge city just outside of the border. What I mean by this, is thay they didnt have to squish the entirety of L.A into a world map - which often results in a really, really tiny version of real life counterparts. The city looks stunning - I was mesmorised walking around the place. Its also one of the only Rockstar games that has a serious AND believable story. I mean, even GTA4 had a pretty ridiculous plot - despite it being "darker" and considered more "toned down". This game is PERFECT at what it was designed to be.
it's nice to see that there are people who still remember LA Noire, it's such an amazing game it's such a good experience, the experience was so good that I ended up playing this game with my 94 year old grandpa
Dude yes….I’d love to see a new LA noire where your job is to rise through the ranks and eventually get the night stalker case with Richard Ramirez. It would be insane
I just bought this a couple days ago for the remaster and for an 11 YEAR OLD game it actually is fun so far. It has touches of the GTA play but it gets to be more focused on the investigation side and not the violence
la noire is never too late to play anytime, I been a gamer for long, I love detective type of games and I can assure that there is no game that is deep and satisfying as la noire

It would be so amazing if this game got the mafia Definitive Edition treatment. Where they pretty much remake the entire game from scratch and make it completely better with amazing visuals.
Played it for the 1st time during the height of the very first time covid lockdown and it was one of THE best games I have ever played. The story, the atmosphere where the music helps alot, Cole going zero to 100 (I think some of it was PTSD) is just so good! And I agree with the reading characters expressions it's like, I dunno man can't read an expression at all and some were the exact opposite. Very good underrated game!
Well there’s fashionably late, then there’s 2 years, 364 days, 23 hours and 55 minutes late. Whose to say which of those is better? Glad you’re getting around to it now and you took the time to watch and comment on this dumb video!
This revolutionary masterpiece of a game is,if not my no1 favourite Rockstar title of all time(which it is alot of the time but that’s depending on my mood & the sort of game I have the taste of playing on any given day),but it’s definitely,without a doubt,ALWAYS in my top 5 Rockstar games,along with GTAIV,GTA San Andreas & Red Dead Redemption 1&2. Praise doesn’t get much higher than that,when it comes to triple A+ video games!This is a bona fide gem of a game.Give it a shot if you haven’t got around to it yet.
Agreed, it is one of the few unique games that has ever been released, and it is done to a pretty high quality. And unfortunately, it doesn't look like its going to change any time soon with a sequel
I actually prefer the Good Cop, Bad Cop options to Truth and Doubt. I think they more accurately describe Phelps' response most, but not all, of the time. Most Bad Cop options are Phelps getting aggressive and often threatening the interviewee. Although maybe Truth is more accurate than Good Cop.
@@lw5217 I mean a detective. Mafia is a great franchise. Don't get me wrong, but what I meant a more AAA kinda game with Deep Detective and deduction elements.
@@lw5217 We just need more hardcover detective games where the game doesn't put in your mouth clues. This genre is not too popular so it losses over others easily.
Team Bondi (the developer behind the game) ultimately disbanded after the game was released due to reports of poor working conditions (leading to Rockstar dropping them). Most of the IP was bought by KMM (an Australian Film Production company behind the Mad Max and Happy Feet films) where for a little while they worked on a sequel set in 1930s Shanghai (a super intriguing concept). Leaked early unfinished footage were leaked. However, in 2013, KMM canned their entire game studio division. Brendan McNamara, the former head of Team Bondi, ended up forming Video Games Deluxe studios which lo and behold ended up working on the LA Noire VR games.
@@HowGoodGames ah excellent. I could overburden you with a million suggestions, but if you haven’t yet played Journey (2012) I’d highly recommend that. The game is just a few hours long but packed with meaning and uniqueness. Steam or PS4 versions are good, and internet connection / PSN is mandatory
This game is a masterpiece! I started playing it about 2 weeks ago and it's amazing. Probably the best detective game i ever played. I've been trying to find an action detective game with exciting gameplay and then i stumbled on L.A. Noire. Amazing game.
Literally found this game for 4.95 at a store that sale ps2, x360 gems, my first time playing it and I swear mane I didnt expect to like it this much, the feel of the city, the 40s, details all around, even tho its semi-open world it still gives you freedom, one of my most favorite games now
I just completed it and you're right. I've never restarted my console so many times just to do a line of questions over 😆😆😆😆😆. With all it's flaws however, a sequel is much needed
The power of L.A Noire it's that it makes me both nostalgic for the game itself but also the time it represents (peak America), even though I wasn't there... It's like playing through a dream.
I just played through this for the first time in 2024. My favorite game. It was a gem and it was such an amazing experience. I wanna run through it again and I would love to play it with friends or family and see how they fare with interrogations and such
Few things to note: This game came right on the heels of Red Dead Redemption, so there was a lot of expectations that this would be “Grand Theft Auto: 1950’s LAPD Edition” It wasn’t. Although there are a few references to Red Dead like the joke intro, shooting mechanics, and the twist ending. The story is also very good, like Red Dead, except the gameplay is completely on rails. Back in the day (Early 2010’s), saying slurs and being “Savage” was considered positive traits in a protagonist believe it or not. Cole Phelps is kind of this conservative, sarcastic, by the books version of John Marston. He’s not unlikeable, although he may be considered a villain by today’s standards. Who knows. I could totally see a sequel/spiritual successor to this game coming out. That has learned what it’s weaknesses are and mitigated them by fusing all the good things its predecessors used into it. A next gen film noire crooked cop open world game would be awesome! Although, with the old Rockstar show runner leaving, the writing will take a nose dive, and the whole George Ffloyd thing is going to make racist cops pretty much an even more taboo subject in gaming to normalize.
Too late?? NEVER. This masterpiece has barely aged and remains one of the most immersive detective games ever made. The atmosphere is perfect. The facial motion-capture still holds up and remains the greatest in the entire gaming industry. Each case is unique and not repetitive. Nothing feels out of the ordinary with twists that are strong but not too much to break the story or characters. It is dark, depressing, graphic, and above all, captivating. You really feel completely immersed in the City of Los Angeles in 1947-49. My only gripe is that the open world of the city is WAY too big for a game that offers not much. There’s just not that much to do. Sure, there are side crimes and collectibles, but they really don’t offer much replay ability or significant value other than grinding for completion. Kinda feels like Mafia II, a very linear story trapped in an open world. But the game clearly focuses on the main story and main cases, and that is where L.A. Noire truly shines and makes every cent and hour worth it. Still a masterpiece and still holds up well.
It is never too late to play a video game. Why do you think the retro gaming community is so big? There are people playing games in 2024 that were released nearly 50 years ago. Classic Atari 2600 games are one example. It seems that video games get better with age. Nostalgia and reliving one's younger days are part of the appeal of playing old video games. LA Noire is a very well-made but significantly underrated game. It does not get the praise it deserves thanks to the GTA franchise. It's going to have a significantly high retro replay value years from now.
Got this game a couple years back but I never played it. Game had some goodies like an evidence envelope with photo negatives. Never too late to play a nice gem 👍
@@HowGoodGames I think so. I still have the Xbox 360 version but I’ll keep an eye out for the PS4 version whenever it’s on sale. I’ve been itching to play rockstar games that aren’t GTA or Red Dead like Max Payne 3 and Bully
@@TooDankBro For this one, it was the remaster on PS4. Where possible, I normally try to go for whichever version is most accessible right now so people can play them easily if they feel like it. I did just track down a PS3 last night though because there are still a lot of good franchises trapped there too
LA Noir is a flawed masterpiece. The late 40s detail is insane, no game has rendered Noir-era LA in this much detail. It is a labour of love. This is a James Ellroy novel Brough to video games, and anyone who knows Ellroy knows everyone in them are d*cks! The Rockstar-inspired (perhaps mandated?) chases and fights are frankly unnecessary and it would have been a better game if it had been more story driven and less action driven. The best way to think of the story is as a horror game, which is not the intention: as either a. Phelps is in purgatory and the whole game is a kind of flashback and reckoning with his past or b. Phelps is locked into some kind of King In Yellow/Carcosa nightmare (like true detective)….both I find give the games narrative drive more meaning….There will never be another LA Noir and we are left winding what Team Bondi could have done with their next project (Whore of the Orient) had things not gone belly up……..
I love this game a lot.. if this game do complete remade (not just a remaster) with current tecnologies or have sequel to the story, I will buy it with no question...
"Everyone in this game is a dick." Tell me you know nothing about classic noire anti-heroes without telling me you know nothing about classic noire. Dingleberry.
So...I am just getting back into gaming with the launch of the Steam Deck. I decided to go back and pick up games I either didn't want to pay for or passed on because I was in BF every night playing with friends. I picked this up last night as it is on sale for $6 right now. Just played it for the first time and you immediately know you are in for a different experience for the start. I'm already obsessed. I love cinematic style games that tell an amazing story and while the over arching story may not be a thing...at least as of now...the individual cases are amazing. Really loving this so far. Can't wait to find more gems from the past. Thinking heavy rain will be my next one and then Witcher III....sometimes it pays to miss out on years of gaming. Every game I want is like $5-10 on sale. 😁😁😁
My dude, you are in for an absolute ride. I really enjoyed heavy rain for all its campiness and Witcher 3 is the GOAT. Very jealous of the next few months you have ahead of you.
Needed a save option so I could mindlessly wander around the map looking for film reels while npcs just talked to themselves out loud and drivers honked for no reason while running over, I think, mice.
Just started playing it again yesterday for the 3rd time. I seem to come back every 5 years or so. Such a brilliant and underrated game ! Some amazing storylines and missions throughout
Currently playing thought the remaster and so far I have found that Biggs is the nicest character that I have found out of all of them, either him or Mal
I still enjoy LA Noire. Even though I have body language blindness (social-emotional agnosia) so the interrogations were the hardest part of the game for me. I love how they recreated 1940's Los Angeles with such detail.
I have played this on high school, but during that time i didn't understand english very well and didnt finish it. I dont really understand whats going on. But now, with a really improved english i want to play this game and enjoy its story!!
If it helps, I would say I have a decent grasp of the english language and this game still finds new and weird ways to screw with me during interrogations. BUT, Im sure you will find it way more enjoyable now, I always have a blast going back to this one
I'm playing it right now and what a great game. Skipped some boring new games and enjoying this one for days now. Respect for the makers. Crazy how this "old" game is more enjoyable and beautiful than some games made in 2022.. and the city is even more alive than Cyberpunk 2077. Just play it and enjoy a great detective story and game.
Isn’t it just? It makes me want to go back and do some of the other Rockstar titles as well. I would say in terms of a vibey city, mafia definitive edition I think does a great job of that early 1930s/40s style but la noire is so worth it
I’m playing it now and i have always loved this game. Don’t matter what it looks like now compared to other new games. This game holds the test of time. Its graphics were great for the time it came out. Wish a 2nd game would come out of a complete remaster of this with next gen graphics.
Bought this game for Switch when it was remade and the questions really were frustrating. Took me 4 years to finish it. Now I have the steam version :) I will probably revisit this in another 4 years when I've completed it again, see if your video holds up.
I do the same, would go as far as to say I consider myself pretty well versed in it by now. Doesn’t stop me from getting my interrogations wrong all the time though. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Matthew!
If you find all the comics you get a hard boiled detective outfit that removes one of the question outcomes.Even then I get it wrong quite often! Great game though,played it on ps3 and replaying the remaster.
Oh I didn't know that, that would be super helpful. I think that LA Noire is one of my most save scummed games, the number of times I would replay entire sections just to have another go at getting the right response would blow your mind haha
Hi. This game currently has a huge discount on Steam but I'm still hesitant to buy it because 2010s games tend to not run well on newer PC. How's your experience running the game on a modern hardware? If it runs ok, I'll buy it immediately tomorrow. I hope you reply asap, thanks man.
Hey mate, I played the PS4 remastered version of it for this video on PS5, so haven't played the PC version myself. I have had the same question in the comment though asking about the performance of the launcher and the 30 fps (which on pc is still a thing like the console versions of the game as far as Im aware) and have had someone say that the bugs and the inconsistent frame rate has been fixed with patches. Can't confirm that myself though, if it's a good deal might be worth the risk, otherwise if you have a ps4/xbox one or newer it often goes on sale on those stores as well and might be a bit more reliable
Didn’t have any issues at all! Wasn’t noticeably better then just playing on a ps4 pro though, but don’t remember anything jarring with performance, so I’d definitely recommend it as a good way to play it
I try to play it start to finish within two or so weeks once a year. I way it captures imagination is grand. At its worst, it’s too linear for it’s own good, and begins a repetitive cycle around Vice promotion, but rebounds when you become Kelso.
I always tried to think of Lie as being we know they’re not telling the truth and there’s a piece of evidence to support it and Doubt was they’re lying or at least obfuscating and there’s no piece of evidence to back it up - it’s still not always straightforward getting the right bit of evidence though
It's never too late to play story, single player games. Online games, are a different story plus they do have a time date where they'll shut down the servers for good.
The problem at the core of this game is how they depict dishonesty. I think they based lying off the myths we’ve all heard about lying. So every option is one fishy bit of body language after another. Like ok, he’s looking away and blinking a lot. Is that lying? Or he’s staring me in the face like a cyborg. Is that lying? In my only play through years ago, I never cracked the code for how the game depicts lying. None of it felt real despite the amazing facial animation tech. I know they wanted it to be intuitive. I think we’d have been better served by far more subtle, nuanced performances by great actors. Reading body language as a predictor of anything is a myth and it feels like this game didn’t know that. It’s unfortunate too because I really dug the rest of the game. Maybe I’ll figure it out and have fun with it someday. 😳 (I’m not lying?)
It's actually really poetic that the same studio that makes games where you play as a criminal who can do virtually anything they want would also make a game where you play as a morally high and by the books cop that is limited by their code and moral compass
Yo wtf this video was so good and you only have 220 subs keep up this style of video and you will be huge. I literally laughed out loud and then checked your channel and was like what the fuuuuuck lol
Damn I love so many games that came out over the last 3 years, but I agree there are some classics in their own right that are still incredible. This is definitely one of them
You don't need a whole video to answer this. It's not. At all. I just started re-playing it last night and, while the graphics (aside from the faces) now feel a bit "meh", there are still games coming out today that look comparable, and the story, etc. is still an absolute gem. If you haven't played it yet, do it.
@@65tallmax No matter how many times I replay it, I will never remember any of the correct answers to interrogations after the first case, but I always remember who did it. Despite that, always enjoy going back to this one
@@HowGoodGames Rockstar had to come in and change the direction of the game as it was not working. The fact that they remastered this for PS4 and Not Maxpayne 3, RDR1 or GTA4 makes me think they had plans for a new one.
Not sure, I played this one on ps5. I’ve had mixed experiences with the rockstar launcher in the past, but it’s normally always worked. I haven’t used it recently though so can’t speak to it sorry!
@@HowGoodGames Just had a realization that may help your growth.. I came here from steam since rockstar had a sale going, I was curious about LA;Noire.

Just though i would share.
That’s a really great idea, I’ve never thought of that. Thanks for passing it on, great to know how you found it and I’ll definitely keep a close eye on that
About to play it for the first time this year because it was $5 on steam , very excited, I loved the mafia games and although not quite the same it seems to be similar
Yeah Rockstar do be like that a bit. From memory the console versions aren’t always online or even need the rockstar login to be played if you have access to a console!
L.A. Noire is a true gem from the ps3/360 era. It's one of the most underappreciated games of that time and gets over shadowed by the other rockstar games such as GTA, Max Payne, RDR, Man Hunt etc..
Definitely super ahead of its time, deserves to get more love then it does
This game is timeless, the last time I played this game was 10 years ago and still missing it.
Hope there will be some kind of a sequel.

You started playing it 5 minutes ago and are commenting on a youtube video....not a great sign of quality that the game has retained your attention 😂
I played this on 360 and hated it. I'm 10 years older now and more into story based games over action ones, so I might give it another go.
This revolutionary masterpiece of a game is,if not my no1 favourite Rockstar title of all time(which it is alot of the time but that’s depending on my mood & the sort of game I have the taste of playing on any given day),but it’s definitely,without a doubt,ALWAYS in my top 5 Rockstar games,along with GTAIV,GTA San Andreas & Red Dead Redemption 1&2.
Praise doesn’t get much higher than that,when it comes to triple A+ video games!This is a bona fide gem of a game.Give it a shot if you haven’t got around to it yet.
Agreed, it is one of the few unique games that has ever been released, and it is done to a pretty high quality. And unfortunately, it doesn't look like its going to change any time soon with a sequel
I actually prefer the Good Cop, Bad Cop options to Truth and Doubt. I think they more accurately describe Phelps' response most, but not all, of the time. Most Bad Cop options are Phelps getting aggressive and often threatening the interviewee. Although maybe Truth is more accurate than Good Cop.
This game is AMAZING! I've been searching for this kind of playstyle for a detective aspect, but couldn't find the exact or way better as this.
Mafia Definitive Edition 1,2!:)
@@lw5217 I mean a detective. Mafia is a great franchise. Don't get me wrong, but what I meant a more AAA kinda game with Deep Detective and deduction elements.
@@tale_play sure, hope some game like you described will be launched soon!
@@lw5217 We just need more hardcover detective games where the game doesn't put in your mouth clues. This genre is not too popular so it losses over others easily.
Underrated gem, loved L.A Noire, the story, gameplay all were so good, good memories playing it on PS3 😊
I bought it in 2022, the non remastered version while it was for sale on steam. The 3$ I spent on it were definitely worth it.
bruh 3 bucks is a steal
Team Bondi (the developer behind the game) ultimately disbanded after the game was released due to reports of poor working conditions (leading to Rockstar dropping them).
Most of the IP was bought by KMM (an Australian Film Production company behind the Mad Max and Happy Feet films) where for a little while they worked on a sequel set in 1930s Shanghai (a super intriguing concept). Leaked early unfinished footage were leaked. However, in 2013, KMM canned their entire game studio division.
Brendan McNamara, the former head of Team Bondi, ended up forming Video Games Deluxe studios which lo and behold ended up working on the LA Noire VR games.
This video series is so good! Always wanted to play this game but never got round to it. Hope you make more, the quality is top notch
Thanks so much! I will definitely be doing more, and always on the lookout for any requests to add to my to play list if you have any!
@@HowGoodGames ah excellent. I could overburden you with a million suggestions, but if you haven’t yet played Journey (2012) I’d highly recommend that. The game is just a few hours long but packed with meaning and uniqueness. Steam or PS4 versions are good, and internet connection / PSN is mandatory
This game is a masterpiece! I started playing it about 2 weeks ago and it's amazing. Probably the best detective game i ever played. I've been trying to find an action detective game with exciting gameplay and then i stumbled on L.A. Noire. Amazing game.
It’s never never to late to play this masterpiece
I very much agree, thanks for watching bro!
Why would they change it to good cop bad cop? That’s stpd
Literally found this game for 4.95 at a store that sale ps2, x360 gems, my first time playing it and I swear mane I didnt expect to like it this much, the feel of the city, the 40s, details all around, even tho its semi-open world it still gives you freedom, one of my most favorite games now
I just completed it and you're right. I've never restarted my console so many times just to do a line of questions over 😆😆😆😆😆. With all it's flaws however, a sequel is much needed
Which one should I get Mafia or L.A noire ?
The power of L.A Noire it's that it makes me both nostalgic for the game itself but also the time it represents (peak America), even though I wasn't there... It's like playing through a dream.
I just played through this for the first time in 2024. My favorite game. It was a gem and it was such an amazing experience. I wanna run through it again and I would love to play it with friends or family and see how they fare with interrogations and such
It’s never too late. Still a great game today in 2024. No game is perfect but I still play it from time to time.
So what's a good alternative in 2024? I like the action/adventure games with interaction and choices.
Or should i just restart this on ps5?
But which version is the best to play in 2023? The original PC version, or the Remaster on Xbox Series X/PS5/Switch?
Few things to note:
This game came right on the heels of Red Dead Redemption, so there was a lot of expectations that this would be “Grand Theft Auto: 1950’s LAPD Edition”
It wasn’t. Although there are a few references to Red Dead like the joke intro, shooting mechanics, and the twist ending. The story is also very good, like Red Dead, except the gameplay is completely on rails.
Back in the day (Early 2010’s), saying slurs and being “Savage” was considered positive traits in a protagonist believe it or not. Cole Phelps is kind of this conservative, sarcastic, by the books version of John Marston. He’s not unlikeable, although he may be considered a villain by today’s standards. Who knows.
I could totally see a sequel/spiritual successor to this game coming out. That has learned what it’s weaknesses are and mitigated them by fusing all the good things its predecessors used into it. A next gen film noire crooked cop open world game would be awesome!
Although, with the old Rockstar show runner leaving, the writing will take a nose dive, and the whole George Ffloyd thing is going to make racist cops pretty much an even more taboo subject in gaming to normalize.
Too late?? NEVER. This masterpiece has barely aged and remains one of the most immersive detective games ever made. The atmosphere is perfect. The facial motion-capture still holds up and remains the greatest in the entire gaming industry. Each case is unique and not repetitive. Nothing feels out of the ordinary with twists that are strong but not too much to break the story or characters. It is dark, depressing, graphic, and above all, captivating. You really feel completely immersed in the City of Los Angeles in 1947-49.
My only gripe is that the open world of the city is WAY too big for a game that offers not much. There’s just not that much to do. Sure, there are side crimes and collectibles, but they really don’t offer much replay ability or significant value other than grinding for completion. Kinda feels like Mafia II, a very linear story trapped in an open world. But the game clearly focuses on the main story and main cases, and that is where L.A. Noire truly shines and makes every cent and hour worth it. Still a masterpiece and still holds up well.
It is never too late to play a video game. Why do you think the retro gaming community is so big? There are people playing games in 2024 that were released nearly 50 years ago. Classic Atari 2600 games are one example. It seems that video games get better with age. Nostalgia and reliving one's younger days are part of the appeal of playing old video games. LA Noire is a very well-made but significantly underrated game. It does not get the praise it deserves thanks to the GTA franchise. It's going to have a significantly high retro replay value years from now.
LA NOIRE a Masterpiece! Little Boy's want GTA 6. Real man wants LA NOIRE Part 2 🧐🍷🕵🏻♂️
Got this game a couple years back but I never played it. Game had some goodies like an evidence envelope with photo negatives. Never too late to play a nice gem 👍
You reckon you’ll jump into it? Definitely worth checking out
@@HowGoodGames I think so. I still have the Xbox 360 version but I’ll keep an eye out for the PS4 version whenever it’s on sale. I’ve been itching to play rockstar games that aren’t GTA or Red Dead like Max Payne 3 and Bully
If any game deserves at least the remaster treatment from Rockstar it's Bully, such an underated gem that one
@@HowGoodGames speaking of remasters, do you play the original version or remastered for your videos?
@@TooDankBro For this one, it was the remaster on PS4. Where possible, I normally try to go for whichever version is most accessible right now so people can play them easily if they feel like it. I did just track down a PS3 last night though because there are still a lot of good franchises trapped there too
LA Noir is a flawed masterpiece. The late 40s detail is insane, no game has rendered Noir-era LA in this much detail. It is a labour of love. This is a James Ellroy novel Brough to video games, and anyone who knows Ellroy knows everyone in them are d*cks! The Rockstar-inspired (perhaps mandated?) chases and fights are frankly unnecessary and it would have been a better game if it had been more story driven and less action driven. The best way to think of the story is as a horror game, which is not the intention: as either a. Phelps is in purgatory and the whole game is a kind of flashback and reckoning with his past or b. Phelps is locked into some kind of King In Yellow/Carcosa nightmare (like true detective)….both I find give the games narrative drive more meaning….There will never be another LA Noir and we are left winding what Team Bondi could have done with their next project (Whore of the Orient) had things not gone belly up……..
There are decent characters in the game.
Especially Cole's partners.
Youre oversensitive.
Is it to late to play 2023 on the PS5. The game is on sale for $24.99🇨🇦
I love this game a lot.. if this game do complete remade (not just a remaster) with current tecnologies or have sequel to the story, I will buy it with no question...
"Everyone in this game is a dick." Tell me you know nothing about classic noire anti-heroes without telling me you know nothing about classic noire. Dingleberry.
What can I say, sexist/racist characters don't really do it for me
So...I am just getting back into gaming with the launch of the Steam Deck. I decided to go back and pick up games I either didn't want to pay for or passed on because I was in BF every night playing with friends. I picked this up last night as it is on sale for $6 right now. Just played it for the first time and you immediately know you are in for a different experience for the start. I'm already obsessed. I love cinematic style games that tell an amazing story and while the over arching story may not be a thing...at least as of now...the individual cases are amazing. Really loving this so far. Can't wait to find more gems from the past. Thinking heavy rain will be my next one and then Witcher III....sometimes it pays to miss out on years of gaming. Every game I want is like $5-10 on sale. 😁😁😁
My dude, you are in for an absolute ride. I really enjoyed heavy rain for all its campiness and Witcher 3 is the GOAT. Very jealous of the next few months you have ahead of you.
Needed a save option so I could mindlessly wander around the map looking for film reels while npcs just talked to themselves out loud and drivers honked for no reason while running over, I think, mice.
Just started playing it again yesterday for the 3rd time. I seem to come back every 5 years or so. Such a brilliant and underrated game ! Some amazing storylines and missions throughout
Currently playing thought the remaster and so far I have found that Biggs is the nicest character that I have found out of all of them, either him or Mal
I still enjoy LA Noire. Even though I have body language blindness (social-emotional agnosia) so the interrogations were the hardest part of the game for me. I love how they recreated 1940's Los Angeles with such detail.
I have played this on high school, but during that time i didn't understand english very well and didnt finish it. I dont really understand whats going on. But now, with a really improved english i want to play this game and enjoy its story!!
If it helps, I would say I have a decent grasp of the english language and this game still finds new and weird ways to screw with me during interrogations. BUT, Im sure you will find it way more enjoyable now, I always have a blast going back to this one
I'm playing it right now and what a great game. Skipped some boring new games and enjoying this one for days now. Respect for the makers. Crazy how this "old" game is more enjoyable and beautiful than some games made in 2022.. and the city is even more alive than Cyberpunk 2077. Just play it and enjoy a great detective story and game.
Isn’t it just? It makes me want to go back and do some of the other Rockstar titles as well. I would say in terms of a vibey city, mafia definitive edition I think does a great job of that early 1930s/40s style but la noire is so worth it
One of the best games I have ever played in my life! Still playing it on my moded PS3.
Its never too late to play a good game
I’m playing it now and i have always loved this game. Don’t matter what it looks like now compared to other new games. This game holds the test of time. Its graphics were great for the time it came out. Wish a 2nd game would come out of a complete remaster of this with next gen graphics.
Bought this game for Switch when it was remade and the questions really were frustrating. Took me 4 years to finish it. Now I have the steam version :)
I will probably revisit this in another 4 years when I've completed it again, see if your video holds up.
I revisit this game every few years. Love it
I do the same, would go as far as to say I consider myself pretty well versed in it by now. Doesn’t stop me from getting my interrogations wrong all the time though. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Matthew!
I started playing it yesterday and am loving every note
I've played this game on every console available. I'm even replaying it now on the Switch. Something about this game makes me feel relaxed.
If you find all the comics you get a hard boiled detective outfit that removes one of the question outcomes.Even then I get it wrong quite often! Great game though,played it on ps3 and replaying the remaster.
Oh I didn't know that, that would be super helpful. I think that LA Noire is one of my most save scummed games, the number of times I would replay entire sections just to have another go at getting the right response would blow your mind haha
2022. I just bought a 360 and LA Noire. Can’t wait to jump in.
We deserved a sequel. There's many la noire fan boys out there. I loved this game and played it through recently and still loved it
It's been remastered better graphics and still amazing, new features
All that’s left now is to make a sequel
Yeah 🤨 will they
Almost certainly not
Been years too
Hi. This game currently has a huge discount on Steam but I'm still hesitant to buy it because 2010s games tend to not run well on newer PC. How's your experience running the game on a modern hardware? If it runs ok, I'll buy it immediately tomorrow. I hope you reply asap, thanks man.
Hey mate, I played the PS4 remastered version of it for this video on PS5, so haven't played the PC version myself. I have had the same question in the comment though asking about the performance of the launcher and the 30 fps (which on pc is still a thing like the console versions of the game as far as Im aware) and have had someone say that the bugs and the inconsistent frame rate has been fixed with patches. Can't confirm that myself though, if it's a good deal might be worth the risk, otherwise if you have a ps4/xbox one or newer it often goes on sale on those stores as well and might be a bit more reliable
I got no issues whatsoever on 5700xt nd ryzen 2600
@@HowGoodGames does the ps4 remaster run well on PS5?
Didn’t have any issues at all! Wasn’t noticeably better then just playing on a ps4 pro though, but don’t remember anything jarring with performance, so I’d definitely recommend it as a good way to play it
runs ok.... its just boring to play.....
I try to play it start to finish within two or so weeks once a year. I way it captures imagination is grand. At its worst, it’s too linear for it’s own good, and begins a repetitive cycle around Vice promotion, but rebounds when you become Kelso.
I always tried to think of Lie as being we know they’re not telling the truth and there’s a piece of evidence to support it and Doubt was they’re lying or at least obfuscating and there’s no piece of evidence to back it up - it’s still not always straightforward getting the right bit of evidence though
It's never too late to play story, single player games. Online games, are a different story plus they do have a time date where they'll shut down the servers for good.
The problem at the core of this game is how they depict dishonesty. I think they based lying off the myths we’ve all heard about lying. So every option is one fishy bit of body language after another. Like ok, he’s looking away and blinking a lot. Is that lying? Or he’s staring me in the face like a cyborg. Is that lying? In my only play through years ago, I never cracked the code for how the game depicts lying. None of it felt real despite the amazing facial animation tech. I know they wanted it to be intuitive. I think we’d have been better served by far more subtle, nuanced performances by great actors. Reading body language as a predictor of anything is a myth and it feels like this game didn’t know that. It’s unfortunate too because I really dug the rest of the game. Maybe I’ll figure it out and have fun with it someday. 😳 (I’m not lying?)
It's actually really poetic that the same studio that makes games where you play as a criminal who can do virtually anything they want would also make a game where you play as a morally high and by the books cop that is limited by their code and moral compass
Yo wtf this video was so good and you only have 220 subs keep up this style of video and you will be huge. I literally laughed out loud and then checked your channel and was like what the fuuuuuck lol
Thanks for the encouragement mate that’s awesome! Hopefully that’s one more sub and you enjoy some of the stuff I have coming out soon as well!
Simple answer: No. If a game was released before 2013 chances are 9 times outta 10 its going to be better than anything released from 2019 onward.
Damn I love so many games that came out over the last 3 years, but I agree there are some classics in their own right that are still incredible. This is definitely one of them
Awesome video
No need to watch. If you want to play it than play it.
then*
You don't need a whole video to answer this. It's not. At all. I just started re-playing it last night and, while the graphics (aside from the faces) now feel a bit "meh", there are still games coming out today that look comparable, and the story, etc. is still an absolute gem. If you haven't played it yet, do it.
I find this better than GTA v, I prefer the older GTA games from the ps2 era, so I play this instead
If development hadn't been such a disaster, it's hard to think this wouldn't have gotten a sequel in another world
GTA 5 was more fun when it dropped but for replayability la noire takes the cake.
@@65tallmax No matter how many times I replay it, I will never remember any of the correct answers to interrogations after the first case, but I always remember who did it. Despite that, always enjoy going back to this one
@@HowGoodGames Rockstar had to come in and change the direction of the game as it was not working. The fact that they remastered this for PS4 and Not Maxpayne 3, RDR1 or GTA4 makes me think they had plans for a new one.
3:08 please, what was the song you used right here?
Why is every other studio not at this level of animation its 2022 already.
It's never too late to Play LA Noire this is a very unique Game and very good at it back wenn Rockstar was making good games
HOLY SHIT that druski meme with the la noire chime SENT ME hahahha amazing video bro, I'm gonna finish this game cause i never did
Haha thanks bro, glad you're going to give it another go!
Just started playing it again today lol. Was looking for Easter eggs and came across your video. This is great!
no its not too late, just like bully L.A Noire is a timeless great title on his own
I wish Rockstar would branch out and make new IPs more often. Every time they do its a fucking banger
I remember this game being advertised all over LA, never played it but it looks really fun and and a nice substitute to gta
Is this game broken on pc? It is on sale and I read some reviews saying the launcher / exe is broken and Rockstar doesn't do anything to fix it.
Not sure, I played this one on ps5. I’ve had mixed experiences with the rockstar launcher in the past, but it’s normally always worked. I haven’t used it recently though so can’t speak to it sorry!
I keep reading that the FPS is set to fixed 30 and that there are several other bugs. The actual sale is not worth it.
They fixed it
With update
last played this game a few years ago, just bought a ps4 and I've never experienced the remaster so when I get it in Ill play it again. Can't wait!
It's never too late to play this amazing game, just made a video of this game loved It since It came out
I've recently purchased the game and I'm about to play it for the first time

About to play it for the first time this year because it was $5 on steam , very excited, I loved the mafia games and although not quite the same it seems to be similar

I'd really like to play it (and it's on sale on Steam now, big bargain!) BUT the fact it needs online connection and Rockstar login I will pass.
Yeah Rockstar do be like that a bit. From memory the console versions aren’t always online or even need the rockstar login to be played if you have access to a console!
