Agreed, it's amazing how much this game plays like Ace Attorney. Which isn't a bad thing.

Just like most Rockstar releases the production values are high quality. Not too sure how much I will replay this though unless you open up new options after finishing the game. I tried going back to redo a case after finishing it the first time. And replaying the case makes you listen to all the banter and questions again. You cant skip anything. Made it VERY BORING.

Is there an option to skip sut scenes and questions/dailogue? This really needs it to make me want to go back through cases for different scenarios.

Certain parts I could skip. I think x or o did it. Though really I was mashing them. The coroner was trying to tell me about a clue and it allowed me to move on, while I could hear his voice explaining behind me. Maybe because it was a clue and not an interview?

I don't know, trying some of the dlc cases in the future could prolong the replay value.

Turn off all the clue hints and auto aim...

And try it in black and white. I can't be the only one enjoying that. Makes me wish red dead redemption had a good black and white mode too, does it?

Hmm im six hours in to this game, and the initial appeal has worn off.

The driving, combat, and just open world aspects are piss poor. There is no real reward for solving a case; as you can just equally fail it without any repercussions.

The first couple hours was some of the best stuff since sliced bread, but now that new car smell has worn off. I will finish and sell asap...

So the DLC is not available yet? I tried redeeming my codes online but it says no valid or something...

The store is still down so no DLC can be activated.

Some interesting notes about the trophies worldwide according to Rockstar Social Club:

No one has the Platinum Trophy yet
Only 22 people have the 100% game completion trophy
Only 175 people have 5-starred all cases
Only 3% of players are at the arson desk and only 5% are at the vice desk.
Most "failed" case is "The Fallen Idol" with just over 550k players getting a failing rating.

I guess the trophy giving people the most problems has to be the do $47k worth of damage during a case, right?

After you complete a desk, you can enter Streets of LA mode during the events of that desk and drive around the city with whomever your partner is during that case to find the collectibles or find the street crimes (not all are available at once, they're divided between desks and only pop up during certain hours in-game.) You won't find any of the regular cases during this mode though.

That makes sense.

The tales on two of the interviews are really REALLY hard to read.

Also I thought the dialog was a bit misleading. In that, when you confronted someone about lying it didn't quite match up with what you/they had said before.

I'll have to replay it but it seemed it was something like:

"Do you know her?"

"Yes. She works with the producer".

<Select lie>

"Give it up! I know there is more to it then that!"

<evidence>

"you're right! She and my wife are best friends!"

Something odd like that haha. If you just looked at the "do you know who she is" part, it seemed rather obvious that he did and that it was true... But it was a LIE and he KNOW knows her. So the answer to the question IS true but they want you to dig further and get "more truth".

Yah, I had the same complaint with this case.

The other problem I had with this case was that you have to tale the woman and then hide in the booth to listen in on her convo. This was a new mechanic and I didnt make it in time the first time. I can see that being a trouble spot for a lot of folks.

I am also getting very bored with this already. I feel like I will just get through the story once and then sell it. Unless they allow you to skip conversations later, it takes way too long to go through each case even on subsequent tries. I was able to skip a few cut scenes, but so far cant find a way to skip conversations with characters and cut them off whne I already know what they are going to say and what I need to answer with.

I think people are taking this game the wrong way. It's not GTA, think of it as an interactive movie.

I completely excpected the interactive movie part. But thought I could take it more. But it doesnt look like I can. Especially if I cant skip conversations on subsequent playthroughs.

damn i still cant link my PS account to the social club. every time i try doing it through the game it keeps saying "wrong password" and when i try linking up through the website i get a "sorry there was a problem linking.." message. i like checking my stats on the social club this is pissin me off a bit.

alright i just got a case where i had to convict someone. i really didn't think any of the perps were guilty but i was forced to. kinda sucks about the game. anyone feel the same way??

More of a sign of the time period. A conviction, right or wrong, makes the public feel better and boosts careers.

I am really trying to finish the story and get rid of this game. It is too slow for me. I guess my problem is that I can only play late at night and since there is no action I start falling asleep! I used to love these types of adventure games, but I have become an action junky it seems. Another reason getting old sucks.

guess that would make sense. but the way cole is being portrayed - a good honest cop - that he would just put a guy in prison or gas chamber without hard evidence, doesn't make sense. oh well, just a game. i shouldn't get too into it.

I don't know how much of a stand up guy the main character is. I'm not that far but he seemed like a bit of a jerk and suck up in the flash backs. I'm sure he has matured since those days but seemed like he is a by the books type who thinks they cover all the angles so they couldn't be wrong. But they can be, just can't see it. Which isn't a bad thing in some ways, makes him more real.

There are things I saw, like him staring at the singer during her performace. A little later he revealed he was married. Nothing wrong with checking out another woman but if he was a straight arrow boy scout I doubt he'd be having drinks alone and not home with the kids. Then again I'm early in the story so no clue where they might be.

Hmmm I've never had that option whenever I finish a case/desk it just takes me to the next case/desk.
