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
