Blueman, since you like LA Noire I think you should give Red Dead Redemption a try. No jokes. Its also nothing like GTA. Its much more like LA Noire than it is GTA, just set in the west with horses and no radio but a superb storyline and quite a bit of side quests and other little things to do outside the main story.

Thats why I am trying to nudge him into it. If he liked LA then he'd also like RDR, its a safe bet anyway.

RDR will make hair on your testicles even if you don't have them.

It holds a special place in my heart because it was my first game this gen. After I got my PS3 it was the first game I got. Problem is it raised the bar for every game after that.

AC,LA NOIRE,RDR were all the same price and I wanted to get all 3 but made a hard choice. I do want RDR badly since I love the wild west. I don't mean the hokey wild west of shootouts in the street but more Unforgiven,True Grit

Its odd, for most the part i hated RDR's story and felt most the cut scenes needed a good edit but still outside of that its great. Love going hunting for bear and what not.

I think people just had an ideal that was too lofty. Same with alan wake, which tons of people told me was trash but I loved (and played on wrc's recommendation).



A lot of peoples issues were that it was not an open world game like GTA which is a little un fair on Remedy. They tried it but then came out and said it didn't work for AW's story.

It also didn't help that it took 5 years to come out after it was announced and then MS canned the PC version just before the game launched.

Just started with Halo 4. Think its great.

God damnt theirs just too many games..

Now Persona 4 golden is gonna come out soon and thats half the reason I got a Vita. Fuck me that I cant show abit of constraint but fuck best buy for being so damn generious with their reward points and that I won a $100 gift card on top of that. I havent really spent that much actual money and Persona 4 will still be half paid for by the time more of my reward points mature.

Nier arrived today. That opened was more than dragged out. I know it was the tutorial but dear god it got to a point I thought some glitch happened. Then that boss came and if he hits you once the game does not allow you to get back up just keeps hitting you. Anyway got to the next part. I don't know where to go. I went in this old mine or something and everywhere I go is a dead end. Thought i had it at some door but lead to a dead end. Tried the control panel on the wall and nothing happened. I just gave up. Not sure I will come back to this anytime soon. Maybe I suck or the game is bad but over hyped by people here I don't know.

I will give it a second chance at some point. Music is great. Everything else granted is like an hour I played. Feels clunky unpolished as can be and personally visually very unappealing.

I seem to remember it giving pretty clear instructions on what to do at any given time. It may have an open world, but it's more Zelda than Elder Scrolls; you generally have to go where the game tells you to, rather than wandering off. Go somewhere too soon, and nothing will happen there.

I wouldn't say it's over-hyped at all; the hype comes from the variety of gameplay situations it offers, the unique world and story it presents, and the inventive way it uses the new game+ feature. It requires that you get pretty far into it to appreciate these things, though. A couple hours just won't show it off. And, for the most part, it's better if these things are left to surprise you as well.

I was a bit put off by the apparent "hype" it got as some kind of cult gem a ways back myself, but when I finally caved and started seriously playing it, I realized the praise was all well deserved.
Except for the fishing. Unskippable (contrary to what Dorian kept saying), and incredibly user un-friendly.

I want to finish Nier actually, I have had it since christmas played the first 10 hours and stopped, but I was really enjoying the game. And Ryudo you are really going to enjoy this game once you get out into the open world just keep playing it.
