The visual design and atmosphere is great, even if the faces look like they tried too hard to make them "realistic" and just ended up programming them with the computer-generated equivalent of William Shatner's over-acted facial expressions. Driving feels a lot more fluid than in GTA.

I dig the detective elements. The interrogations, though a fun idea, are poorly executed, because the response options are so vague that it's impossible to know which one is the sensible choice.

Also, I downloaded the newest GTA because it was on sale, so I'll see if I like it better than the previous one.
I love LA Noire but I actually disagree with almost everything you said. I think the combat and driving are significantly worse than any GTA game, including IV, but that's because those aspects are totally not the focus of the game. IIRC the times when you pull a gun out are few and far between. I found steering the vehicles to be excessively difficult which maybe is in part because they are huge ass cars from 1948 or whatever, but I suspect is mostly just that the developers did not fall over themselves to make realistic driving a key aspect of the game. The faces were actually mapped with face recognition software which was a big deal when the game dropped in 2011 or 2012. What are you playing on?

My suggestion for the interrogation elements is to just look up the correct answers tbh. You don't really change the outcome of the story beyond the score you get on a particular investigation. You're right that sometimes the statements are vague and even if you know someone is lying, the correct answer may be "doubt" because you don't want to put the perp on the spot and shit like that. You are actually supposed to be watching their facial expressions and movements and choosing based on that I believe.

You got GTA V? Enjoy. The story and characters are stupid as fuck but it's a really fun game, especially the enhanced version with the first person feature. The only advice you need: only do the FIRST assassination mission for Lester, the one that you have to do in the story. Leave ALL other assassinations until you complete the main story so you can make the most money and afford to buy all the properties and cars and shit. try not to spend too much cash until after you do this so you'll have the most to play with at the end. When you get to the assassination missions, make sure to look up how to play the stock market to make max profit cause it's a little confusing.

I have been considering downloading the enhanced version of Skyrim... but I know it is going to suck me in p. hard. I wish I could port over my character and game from Xbox360 so I don't have to start over. I logged about 450 hours on Skyrim in 2016/2017
