L.A Noire

This game is on sale for $5 on steam. Debating buying it with my last $5 for the summer sale.

I found it hugely enjoyable on PS3, it is supposedly a typically shoddy Rockstar PC port though. I'd advise you to investigate a bit first, make sure it will run on your system. If you do get it, get the dlc as well, 5 extra cases, well worth it as I assume they will be 75% off too?

You know what, I'm buying it too. Well I would if the Store was working...

edit: Got it, £6.24 for the complete edition. Now let's hope it runs...

Tell me if you're satisfied, johnnyguitar.

Will do, my terrible internet means it'll still be another 4 hours before it's downloaded though... Didn't you get it already?

I'm interested in your opinion.

Yes I got it but not downloaded yet.

No problems at all getting the game up and running, though I was playing GTA IV last week, and I think the tweaks I had to do to get that running properly have meant I didn't have to go through them for LA Noire. Gameplay wise, it's absolutely fine. Controls a bit clunky in certain areas, but no worse than I would expect for a game of this type on PC. I quickly played through the Patrol desk just to check it out, didn't come across any problems, no crashes, lag, graphical glitches, nothing. I would recommend it on PC to anyone who was on the fence.

edit: My system for reference;
64bit Windows 7
Intel QuadCore Q8300 2.50Ghz
4 gig Ram
Geforce 9500 GT

Not a great rig, so it should run well on any up to date system.

Just bought it. Heard good things, decided to make the jump.

I now have .23 cents in my steam wallet. Do you think any games will be on sale for less than that?

Can anyone with a processor in the ballpark of a 2.8 ghz dual core tell me if this is playable or not? I've heard bad things about it's performance.

[johnhughthom]

My system is outlined above, runs fine for me.

[Hooahguy]

Had second thoughts, got LA Noire refunded. if theres nothing else I want Ill wait until the last day of the sale.

[johnhughthom]

Isn't refunding a one time deal with Steam, unless there is a genuine issue with the game? Seems like a waste to use it on a $5 game...

[Hooahguy]

I dont know, but I guess Ill find out.

Our systems can't really be compared because of your quad core.

I got a copy after I won it in a contest on Reddit.

Looks like Ill be playing this in the end.
