This thing told me infinitely more about the story and character progression than I wanted to be spoiled on. Maybe I'm just too touchy.

So much bitching in the comments. You're the same people who will be lauding it when it turns out to be goty potential. Fucking spoilt brats, nothing is good enough is it?

Man, I can't wait for this game to come out. I am somewhat worried about the length though. Has anything been said about the length yet?

@gbpackers94: 20+ hours. Most cases coming in at around an hour.

I can't wait, this is my most anticipated game this year.

Crazy uncanny valley with those faces.  They look too good for the standard polygon bodies and clothing to which they're attached.

If its anything like Red Dead (looks like it is) then I'll preorder for sure. Only question is which DLC bonus I should get.

Why is the animation so amazing but the faces are so lumpy? I just can't figure it out. Is it a style thing?

I wonder if this will be the first crime game where it turns out you partner is NOT behind it all.

You're scored at the end of each case on a number of variables, which include how much environmental damage you commit, or civilians you ''injure'' amidst the case by running them down.

As for actually shooting them I'm willing to believe the game simply won't allow you, forcing you to pull up your weapon or something like that. Kinda like how that Scarface game handled it.

That would be awesome. I have a feeling that Rockstar is keeping a lot of this game under wraps on purpose. I hope I'm right.

I'm so happy they're showing the actual game lately. Awesome tech is awesome tech, but I play games cause they're fun. This looks like fun.

Digging the vibe on this one. I read all of the James Ellroy novels back in the day and really enjoyed them.

There's way more shooting and fighting in this than I had hoped for. Still excited though.

Most anticipated title of the year so far for me. Well...that and Skyrim. 

The gameplay actually seems to be nothing like what I expected. Awesome.
