DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!! At least, not on PC.

I had seen footage of this game before and was excited to give it a shot when it went on sale. So, I picked it up and tried it out. The first thing i noticed was that the game ran at low performance. I was surprised, of course, given that I was running it on a GTX 1070 and getting 30 fps or less. So, I googled the issue, and I learned that the game was locked at 30 fps-which is retarded. I set about finding a fix. I came across widescreenfix, and started using it. After about an hour of gameplay I came to the conclusion that the game was simply unplayable. While, yes, my framerate went up, it only went up to 44 or so at most and even then the input was laggy and the game was extremely difficult to control. At that point I gave up, and returned the game.

All that aside my one hour stint in L.A. Noire was very entertaining. Even through the pain of playing it it was clear that the game has a lot going for it. The game doesn't place you in a truely open world, instead setting up the gameplay as a series of episodes, like from a detective show from the '60s or something. It's difficult for me to elaborate further as I didn't get to play much of the game, but I really wish I could have. While light, the combat worked well enough and its clear that the main focus of the game is on the detective side of things.

Yes, you should buy this game, just maybe not on PC.

And Rockstar, fix your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.
