    Let's get some things straight out the way - I was looking forward to this game for years, yes. I knew of it's "non-GTA" style of gameplay, yes. I knew of the facial animation tech but what I didn't know was how much I love this setting, this kind of game and driving around. It's pretty important for you to know that I am from Sweden so some of the stuff in this game is a bit harder for me to understand... or is it? That was what I heard before I started playing. But really the only thing I didn't got was the story arround Mickey Cohen. So, I'll write a review about this game when I'm done but I thought that I share my thoughts about this game because I really do like this game.


    This is not a GTA game, as people like to point out. That's probably the best thing about this game, after the animations, of course. But by not being as GTA the driving seems to been a little bit out of focus. It's not bad at all, but after playing Grand Theft Auto IV and Mafia II, a little bit better driving would've been nice. But that's the only thing, and that makes me crazy. As I mentioned above - it's really fun to play every case and I really hope that Rockstar Games and Team Bondi will support this game with tons of downloadable content. I mean, it's not like it has to be relevant to the story. 

    I can't stop wondering about where we go from here... And that's what I want to hear from you. Will we see another L.A. Noire or will they move on with some other city or maybe even other time frame? I don't even know what I want. Investigating stuff and putting people in jail rocks, they could make a medieval crime investigation... no, they couldn't. And certainly not some future stuff. What do you guys think? Where do we go from here?

    if they do this they should make it alot like red dead redemption, in nearly every aspect, including online play, i would love the option to run around the game world with fellow Samurai.

    my one concern is that Rockstar games had clunky Melee Combat, most of them rely on the use of guns for killing enemys.

    one thing i would like to see is a less linear story, more options. i would like to start as a clan member, but due to some falling out, become a Ronin.
    like i said, its far fetched, but its something i would love to see.

    Feudal Japan would be awesome, but wouldn't that be the same as the Dynasty Warriors series? or Samurai Warriors I guess

    So I still want sequels to this game.  But as I move farther and farther away from playthrough 0, moving on to replaying cases and the free roam modes, the more I think what Ryan said on the last Bombcast makes sense.  Sure sequels to this game would be great, but it's not exactly another LA  Noire right away.  I think, though, this game (or 2K itself) is awakening a desire in me to play meaningful games.  That is as strictly opposed to popcorn action games.  Maybe that's what's next.

    I would not want another LA Noire, that's for sure. LA Noire 2 is just nothing I'm interested in since I'm sure Bondi have enough DLC in the pipe to make a full second game alone. Didn't they even remove one of the desks when they ran out of room on the blu-ray? 
     
    What I would love to see though, is a Blade Runner style game with the LA Noire gameplay. But it could be a bit harsher and not hold my hand through every corner. A difficulty setting would have been nice, with the higher setting pretty much letting you fumble around and not know what you've done till the case is closed.

    My biggest problem with the game so far (Starting Vice) has been the lack of good cases. 
    So I'd love to see some good stories told with refined systems (like the jump from Assassins creed 1 to 2).

    I think if they're going to play it safe, New York, throw something like boardwalk empire in there.
