I enjoy RDR and LA Noire quite a bit because I’ve always had a fascination with each game’s respective time period. I love the Wild West and the 40’s and the gameplay of each title allows the player to be immersed in those worlds. The motion capture technology and story line adds another dimension to the gameplay; it’s like playing a movie. When I play RDR, I find myself actually slipping into the mindset of the characters. In both games, the main character’s story is tragic in it’s own way. John spends the majority of the game trying to get his family back and dies shortly after. Cole spends the game immersing himself in his work to atone for the guilt he feels at the cost of distancing himself from his family and ultimately forgetting his Wife, then at the time of his death, he’s a shamed man. Anyway, I’ll stop rambling. The only problem I had with LA Noire was that it was so short; I beat it in four days.
