I've completely loathed Rockstar ever since. Granted, I hate lots of things, but they're on a special pedestal all their own.
I can't stand GTA either, but I really enjoyed L.A. Noire.
Yeah, a friend showed it to me for some baffling reason.
For the right type of player, it looks like it'd be good. I have no real judgement on it myself. To me, it's an insomnia cure. Too much story stuff, which is to say that it has story stuff, and there arent even any explosions or axes or monsters or things.
I will give them though that they did finally do something that wasnt just selling on "controversial!!!" for once. That's a good thing.
