Hello everyone!
I'm playing L.A. Noire at the moment, and I love it. I know some of you hate it for the fact that it's too easy, but I think it's a great way to make an adventure game that is for a broader audience and with very high quality standards that come from working with Rockstar

Will this push the game industry to consider adventure games and thinking games in general, as opposed to mindless clickfest?

Or is this game going to be remembered as loved by the critics, but disappointing the audience?

Already at my local store the returns are piling up. Obviously people who expected to see GTA V, or aren't used to using their minds in gaming have rejected it.

On the other hand this game is open to more than just the average console gamer, it can be played by all ages and both sexes (unfortunately most of these people who might enjoy it don't own a console)

thoughts...
