LA Noire update

Have been enjoying the heck out of this game. Great blend of action, with a little puzzle, and solving crimes. One of my biggest beef's with the CSI game was that it got so boring. But in this open world of 40's post war LA its perfect. Plus I have seen the faces of a lot of actors that makes the different people you meet on all the cases fun. Kind of feels like you are controlling your own movie. Only negative is trying to chase down punks and not run over civilians or mess up your car, that's hard and sometimes you just want to run something over. I've also found my favorite outfit. No coat, and looks like Elliot Ness in the Untouchables. Plus its more armored or something so i can take a few more blasts. lol

Thank God-The Complete Badge List

This site really helped me out. They had someone acutally process the film.
http://terminalgamer.com/2011/05/17/l-a-noires-badge-pursuit-challenge-35mm-negatives-process/


After that it was as easy as pie.

I'm going to order them by the number under the film for each pic

*When you are near, your controller will vibrate, and you will see a shiny glint of the object*

The Stuff in red-is landmark associated with the location. It will be easy to just mark it on your map and make your partner drive you there.
#12-4th Street Viaduct-Go down to the base of the bridge. There is a ladder. Climb up the concrete base.
#13-Way west side Chinatown. Look for Mr. Khan's Antiques, and then search inbetween the two Chinese Dragon statues. There are a couple of sets, so don't get as frustrated as i did. This was the hardest one for me to find because i didn't cross the street and go far enough west from the main section of Chinatown.
#14-Angles Flight- Go around under the tracks. Simple one
#15-Hall of Records- Go inside at the reception desk to the right
#16-Bullocks Wilshire-Walk around until you enter the glass side thing. Then go downstairs. Should see badge at bottom.
#17-Los Angeles Examiner-Go around back to the parking lot, on top of a planter near the corner.
#18-Crossroads to the World-Face the main attraction. The thing with the ball on top, and walk beside it. There is a very narrow pathway, not to far behind it that connects to the other side.
#19-Hotel Roosevelt-In very front of entrance
#20-Grauman's Theater-Walk the red carpet up to the two smaller red carpets to the side. Should be on the one to the right.
#21-Musso & Franks-Drive around to the back, its under the green canopi
#22-Pershing Square-Find the old Train car that got turned into a restaurant. Badge is by the ketchup
#23-LA County Museum of Art-Stop in the front then drive a little to the staff parking lot. drive up and in, take a right. Walk up a narrow bush pathway to the left up to some metal stairs. Should be in front of the stairs.
#24-LA Public Library-This one is complicated so pay attention. Go around to the side, keep running until you see the only metal pipe that will let you climb up. Then climb up the main room. Now no more climbing. This is the main roof. Should now be able to look over to the left, and see two big water drums. If not run around the square till you do. Then climb up the area in the middle to find the badge.
#25-Max Factor Building-Drive around till you see the fence, then drive through it and quickly stop. It's by the dumpster.
#26-Main St. Terminal- Go up the stairs and find the red subway car, and it should be in front of it on the tracks.
#27-RKO Theater-On ground in front, underneath a movie poster.
#28-Union Station- Go in main entranceway. Then turn left and its on the desk of the 2nd or 3rd ticket counter
#29-MacArthur Park- Go over to the paddle boats, its on an oil drum next to them
#30-West Lake Tar Pits- Just drive up the dirt road to the area. There is a beat up white house near the shoreline, and it should be on the porch.
#31-Intolerance Set-Drive in through the gate. Run up the first real hallway in front of you. Take up left up stairs, quick left down stairs, quick right, and shiny thing in front of you.
#32-LA Noire logo- Just fooling, you should already have all 20. :)

Please let me know if this was helpful to anyone.

LA Noire Update

     Well i've been playing all day, and so far i managed to knock out about half of the golden film, i'm a Homicide Detective, and i've found one badge. The badges seem to be the hardest ones to go on. There are twenty total, so when i took a break for the night i deceided to spend some time studying the film to see if i could see some landmarks or so. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but i think i found about 9-10 that way, and are warm on about 4-5 more. But the last 6 or so bland that i just have no clue. I will let you know what i found out tomorrow if you interested. Please feel free to share any of your experiences.

     This games is extra cool to me, because i've always like the films. Jack Nicholson in Chinatown, Nolte in Muholland Dr, That Russell Crowe, and Kim Bassinger one. As well as a lot of old black and white ones that i used to watch with my grandfather on sundays. In many ways it always seemed like the perfect time, when everyone was happy. Even though i know that it just seemed that way, and was more of a trick than anything else. But it does seem like the cops had a lot more freedom to take out the trash, pedifiles, and rapist, and the guy who beats his wife, getting a surprised butt whipping, etc. But I digress.

LA Noire and the big Midnight Release

       I went to the midnight release of LA Noire at Game Stop on FM78 right near the Walmart, next to Converse, Texas. The Store Manager Angela always does a great job with midnight releases. She had free soda, and pizza from Pappa Johns. There is always a wide variety of characters at these release parties. It's always been a good time, and everybody is always nice and friendly. Angela also makes it fast and easy to pick up what you pre-ordered. She also mentioned that there was some free DLC for pre-ordering the game. Usually its some gun i don't use, or a small mission, so i just kind of ignored it.

     About the game. An interesting thing happened when i got home and opened up the game. Out popped this wax papered evelope with seven little film strip clues. This was very interesting, and I really like that. It turns out that this is part of the Down Loadable Content. I have to use these clues to search the city for 20 badges and then i can enter for a chance to win $30K or some other memorabilia. That just freakin cool, and i wish more companies would do stuff like this. I've been playing the game so far, and i have to say it feels a little weird. I'm used to being the criminal who only cares about getting the missions done. Now i have to act like a respectable citizen, and not run people over nor cause damage which is a serious change. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on it, just a complete 180 from my comfort zone which is good.

     So far the game kind of feels like the case solving of CSI games had a kid with GTA. So its a brand new baby so to speak. I'm learning as i go to be more observant. The cases game has done a good job so far of teaching me what i need to know. Last night i made it to Traffic Detective, and now i'm trying to scower the city to see if I can find those pesky badges.

     Well if anyone has any thoughts please feel free to let me know. Later
