No, the moment i see 10 threads in two days saying what an awful game it is and not one saying how much fun they had with the game i consider it a wave of hatred.

You can't dismiss the other 10 threads composed of praise and people very interested in discussing plot elements.

It could very well be the case that i just missed them, but i honestly have not seen one thread praising the game.

Apart from the animation tech the game isn't great, just good.

Oh look it's this shit again. Do we really need two threads a day claiming to be a safe haven for critics of the game when half the forum is with them anyway?

I've been thinking: if L.A. Noire didn't have such amazing facial animation, would've it received anywhere near as much praise? I think 5-10 years from now, when such facial animation is the norm, L.A. Noire's flaws will become even more glaring.

What more is there to say that hasn't already been said on these forums before? I think at this point there are more threads about people not liking the game as there are about people liking the game. Why don't people just post this sort of thing to one of the other ten threads about how bad/overpraised/overhyped/disappointing the game is?

I can understand all the complaints people have about L.A. Noire, but I still think it was an enjoyable experience.  It's a nice change of pace to play something that doesn't involve blasting the fuck out of everything in sight.

This. Especially for Rockstar, who have made so much money on games where that's most of what you do (I love GTAIV so don't think I'm bashing it).

It's not made by Rockstar...lol such a common misconception.
