New L.A. Noire gameplay video.

The game looks more and more amazing by the second. The fist-fight mechanics look a little better than what was seen previously; from the newest previews (Rockstar invited some fansite people to LA to stay at the Roosevelt Hotel to play the game), and word has been that it's great. I wish some of the textures were better (More specifically the corpses), and some of the foliage could be better.

Seems like the game is still in closing development though; things might be improved. Fansites said that from their time with LAN at the hotel, it was an amazing experience and they didn't even have the final build.

I would get Portal 2 for now. Eventually though, you MUST get Wind Waker. It's a classic Zelda game, and it's one of my favorites in the series. You have to have a GameCube if you want to play it though.

No, you can play it on Wii, you need a GC controller though.

What? To play it on the Wii? Aww. Also, I'm totally excited for the release of Super Mario 3DS, the Ocarina of Time remake, and Zelda Skyward Sword. mini/bigsmile
EDIT: Can you play Portal 2 online if you didn't buy it off Steam? Like, in a box instead of downloading it. (Sorry for the amount of questions, I just want to know everything so I'm not missing out.)

Yes. The only difference between the box and Steam versions is the box and DVD.

No cake! mini/eek

Oh well, I wasn't really expecting them to do anything with the cake in Portal 2, it would have kinda been dragging the joke on too far.

Portal 2 Comic
I'm talking about the scientist in here. There's an achievement for finding a transmission in one of the "Rat Man's" dens.

I'm quite sure it's not the same Rat Man, but in Italy it's a comic.
And thank's for the link.

Re: The Video Game Discussion Topic!

I think it very well could be that scientist. Considering in the comic it shows that he drew the mural of Chell you first see when getting the single-portal device. Also, when you get the achievement, it's the same style of art in the room you find to be a Rat Man's den.

Just found this, too: http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Doug_Rattmann

I finally played to portal 2. It's awesome. And unilego, I found out it has nothing to do with the italian Rat man. Just search for him, and you'll see the drawings have nothing in common.

I might get Portal 2 for the PC soon.

Does anyone know the difference between Portal 2 on Steam than PC?
