LA Noire!

[Keith Justice]

How the hell do you get into that diner on the street while the chick is on the phone?

Walk slow and then sit down at a booth.. B will kick you in to incognito mode. :anime:

Pick up some Mickey Spillane. I just finished reading one of his lesser known works, Me, Hood! and it was one of the gnarliest, most graphic and thoroughly adept works of hard-boiled fiction I've ever read. The man definitely had a handle on the genre, and worked it down to a science, if not an art.

I might give that a try. I bought Motor City Blue the other day but I haven't got around to starting it yet. I've read good things regarding Estleman's Amos Walker series. Have you read any of those?

I took cover against the wall, sneaked under the window and then entered the diner. Stay against the booths on the left side of the restaurant and you'll see a newspaper on one of the tables there (third or fourth maybe). Once you get beside it you should get a prompt to sit. :thumbs:

Is that Fallen Idol you are talking about? If it is, hide by the right side of the door (use what ever button it is for cover). Once Junie (I believe) gets on the phone get out of cover and run to the empty booth on the left, there is a newspaper.

Oh ok. Sweet thank you. That part was just annoying the hell out of me.

I am loving this game. I don't even care about the action parts, I have GTA4 for that. I love the questioning and investigating of evidence.

Np, sorry for asking you what stage it was. I know there is DLC for the game and didnt know if there was any other sneak levels.

Its a good game, the only problem I see with the game is exactly its like heavy rain's problem, once you know what happens its kind hard to find yourself as surprised as the first time.

Yeah but see there are multiple ways you can do the cases. A friend of mine found a knife in a case that opened up some other stuff. I never found that knife.

Well yes and no. If you five stared a level that pretty much leaves you with no other way to experience the level besides flat out missing clues and failing.

Since I rented the game I had to beat it kind of quick. By the end of the game I had 5 stared every level.

Also most games are this way. Any big surprises are not surprises anymore if you've beaten the game already. The thing about that is this, how fun was the game. I know the entire storyline to Suikoden including the big story twists, I've beaten the game about 5 times. I loved the story, so the fact I know what happens really doesn't come into it.

Sure haven't. For the most part I've stuck with novels from the more acclaimed pulp authors--Chandler, Hammett, Spillane, James M. Cain, Max Allan Collins and so on. There's so much great content from those authors that anything else to me is sort of peripheral as far as the essence of the genre, but I'm willing to give anything enjoyable a shot. Have any in particular you'd recommend?

This Christmas I picked up the Lizard collection of Black Mask detective stories ([ame="http://www.amazon.com/Black-Lizard-Stories-Vintage-Original/dp/0307455432/"]http://www.amazon.com/Black-Lizard-Stories-Vintage-Original/dp/0307455432/[/ame]), from the pivotal classic crime publication way back in the day, which showcases a lot of the most definitive types of stories from the era, including a lot of works that would go on to become widely celebrated in their prototype, serialized forms. I haven't dug in yet but it's on my to-do list and it'll be a pleasure for me to check off. They also have another compilation of stories that's supposed to serve as a introductory grouping for new readers being initiated to the style, and I've read enough of the authors in both to be able to vouch for their being good reads.

On an unrelated note, bonus points to Mr. G for using the proper past tense form of the word, "sneaked."

Oh I do play games that I love, like Way of the Samurai...I love WOS, and Yakuza, two of my favorite games on the next gen consoles and prior gen consoles.

To be honest my favorite part of this game was the Homicide Desk . I mean yeah it was obvious what the big twist was, but it was so well done, plus Rusty was a great partner. Im not a fan of Vice Desk.

Well, the game is okay but I think I will sell it back to gamestop when I'm done with it, doesn't feel like it will have much replay value, currently during the White Shoe Slaying.
