LA Noire
So here’s a game that many of us never expected to see; an open-world detective game which has been in continual development for well over seven years. In a world where most video games are rushed out in eighteen months or less, and even “triple-A” titles are typically completed in well under three years, just imagine the sort of loading screens which would be achievable with a full seven year development timeline. Booting the game up for the first time, I was quite giddy with anticipation of the first load screen. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the longest-awaited load screen yet:
Well, darn.
Score and full review are beneath the fold.
