L.A. Noire Launch Prompts Rise In Rockstar Stock
L.A. NoireIt did seem like L.A. Noire was selling quickly yesterday, and the critics are suitably impressed.
Therefore it should come as no surprise that publisher Rockstar's stock has soared to a 52-week high on the strength of the detective thriller's launch. At close of trading, shares had risen $1.23 to $17.10, an 8% leap, and it'll be interesting to see how well the game fares in relation to past Rockstar productions. With the likes of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption on their slate, this is one company that's used to blockbuster releases and skyrocketing share prices. There was a time when Rockstar really had to rely on GTA for its big payday but things have changed this generation, and that's good news. Have you picked up L.A. Noire and if so, is it worthy of the attention?
You'll see our review in 24 hours time. For now, we remain tight-lipped on the analysis...

They make it fun to be a cop instead of making you into an action hero because they seem to be taking a more realistic route. Props to Team Bondi even _________ should like this game the devs are from the land down under after all.

sigh, words getting put into my mouth yet again!
all i said was you cant effect the story, WTFs the point of that?
this game being so scripted is as pointfull as ferrari making a car with a top speed of 100KMPH and a price tag of 500 million dollars!

its caused me to not care if i find all the clues or not, if i get all the right questions and answers, because, really it does not matter!
for example in the 3rd case i got 1 question right, missed 4 clues and still got 3 stars and a case closed!
you f*ck everything up, but still get a pass!
what the?

i thought it would not sell well because its not your typical war game, and it has no MP.
nice to see developers who have the balls to stray away from the norm being rewarded!
went to pick up my copy today and was told they completley sold out 45 minutes after opening the store!
lucky i preordered mine a few months ago, otherwise id be waiting weeks to find it!
still really disappointed about the story, but eh cant wait to crack here open!
