Goin to go with brink here. Dont get me wrong still buying noire but, as written before, its sp only (why do they make games sp only) so it can wait.
L.A. Noire. It takes a particular type of shooter (read: developed by Valve) to get me interested in multiplayer. Also, after Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar have certainly got me pretty interested. The setting looks awesome too.
As it seems LA Noire will not be released on the PC and my mind refuses to adapt to our Xbox's inferior controls, I won't be getting LA Noire but I will be getting Brink unless they get shitstormed by friends and reviewers.

Yeah, what?
OT: Brink doesn't even come close to a buy.
L.A. Noire - first day.
EDIT: Wait. Is that about the DLC shit AGAIN?
That's two or three cases tops. In a game that's 25 hours without any DLC.
I haven't really seen that much of Brink to compare the two.
But I'm definitely getting LA Noire.

Wait, so before you were saying that it's a rip-off of Mirrors Edge and now you're saying that it's a TF2 rip-off? By that logic all games are rip-offs in one way or another. Yes, it's a team based multiplayer game with objectives and yes, it has parkour but that doesn't make it a combined Mirror's Edge and TF2 rip-off. Similar concepts, but a different game entirely.JackSparrowSucks said:
How many team objective based multi/singleplayer with parkour and extensive character and class customization games are out there?
To each his own, though the concept of Brink appeals to me because unlike TF2, you can complete multiple objectives on your own as well as the main objective with your teammates to win. Also unlike TF2, instead of patching in new weapons and aesthetics later on they're already in the full game waiting for you. In Mirror's Edge most moves took perfect timing and complicated button combos, but in Brink they can be executed with the press of a button (or is it a pull of a trigger?) improving the flow of gameplay. It may not be entirely original but it feels like a whole new game to me.JackSparrowSucks said:
Well that's my opinion anyway.
2) I was trying to get at that despite the fact that TF2 has snipers, the ability to camp in a single spot and dominate anyone who happened to pass by, like some other shooters, was nearly impossible because of balancing.Ironic Pirate said:
3) Operatives seemed like the most likely to use sniper rifles because of their unique ability to tag enemies, giving them some kind of usefulness at extra long range. The assumption is also that there would be more than one operative as sniping wont be as preferable.
4) For a game with limited variety, they seem to give you a lot of unlocks in attempt to make you unique, ultimately it's an illusion of choice.
5) Tried to make a point regarding CoD level of customization.
7) I mention CoD because most complaints I've heard regarding sniping in other games usually has some reference to CoD. So that's an assumption on my end. Most of the time people would like to hit the easy button and play a shooter where pointing, clicking and getting a kill is what they would consider fun.
All I'm getting at is that this game is unique by comparison, and to actually try it before judging it hastily as "awful" simply because they may have altered your favourite gameplay mechanic.
L.A. Noire, if nothing else, shows that Rockstar is willing to take some BIG risks.
The game does have free roaming elements, but YOUR the cop, you can't go around shooting up the whole town this time. It's about the story, the style, it is about being art.
