God I want this game so badly! I think I just need to avoid all social networks for the next few days as the hype cools down.

@Brad: 
"Although LA Noire is a linear, story-driven game, the vast, open city of LA does act as the connective tissue that links all the story modes together..."

beautiful and inspiring words, makes me want to switch my career to a game journalist. Great video review.

I first thought, "why are the police contaminating these crime scenes," until I realized that DNA would not be discovered for another 20 years.
Exact same thought I had. I just want to scream at the TV, you're contaminating the evidence, oh god, please put some gloves on!!!!

Oh man, I had the same thought multiple times during trailers and the Quick Look. "Where are the gloves?!...oh, right."

At first I was considering buying this Rockstar game for the sheer novelty of being on the right side of the law for once, but I'm glad to hear that it plays fantastically. From what Brad says, it's the game I've been waiting for years. Can't wait!

Great review, completed the game over the weekend. How about making more games with this technology? I suggest Miami Vice or CSI!

Wow, just beat this...incredible. Definitely affected me more than most games have, and way more fun, interesting, and satisfying than Skyrim or Saints Row 3.

Awesome game the first 4 hours of gameplay, then it got me bored. It's very repetitive.

Still a great game, really enjoying the remastered version on XB1.
