    Advice to all: Mortal Kombat II is much better.

  • TelexStar #2 8 months ago

    There's something strangely worrying and cynical about a new release of an already released game being labelled as "...the complete edition". Isn't this surely what the original should have been you lazy toe rags?

  • HyperTails #3 8 months ago

    The same day as Skyrim, eh? Very brave.

    And is there any news of the PS3 complete edition? There's no way i'm buying this game now, if a complete edition is waiting to be announced. Of course, i'll just wait to buy it anyway, no chance i'd get ANY game the same day as Skyrim.

  • kingcrowbar #4 8 months ago

    Now can they get on with Red Dead Redemption:Complete for PC. Please. With sugar on top.

  • Skeletor #7 8 months ago

    So the complete edition is coming to PC only?! Kinda confusing...

  • BBIAJ #8 8 months ago

    I reckon consoles will get it, just as we did GTaIV, are getting RDR, and so it only makes sense that we'll see L.A. Noire too.

  • beatwolf #9 8 months ago

    No mention of GFW or GFWL awesome ^^ . It'll either be Steamworks or Rockstars own social hub thing, which is still better than GFWL :)

  • TriggerHippie #11 8 months ago

    Right, because they're not available after the release date....

  • metalangel #12 8 months ago

    PC owners, save your money. It's a unique experience, but not an essential one.

  • CamberGreber #13 8 months ago

    Red Dead Redemption PC
    Come ON Allready Dammit.

  • robthehermit #14 8 months ago

    So if the Consuls Car case is no longer PS3 exclusive does that mean we can have it for xbox now?

    There's no point in releasing a complete edition for consoles, as the basic game plus Rockstar pass = Complete edition.

  • Spong #15 8 months ago

    Shit game. Isn't worth £40. Unless you like shit games.
    I still haven't bothered with the Nicholson DLC yet, it's been sat there for months. Feel free to neg me btw, it doesn't stop the game from being shit.

  • Skeletor #16 8 months ago

    "There's no point in releasing a complete edition for consoles, as the basic game plus Rockstar pass = Complete edition."

    Well, the point is that like always a disc based edition might be much cheaper due to the competition among online retailers.

  • StooMonster #17 8 months ago

    Recently finished L.A. Noire and loved it. Fantastic game.

    However, the DLC pissed me off. The reason being that some of it was obviously cut out of the game rather than being in addition to the game. Moreover, I had a 360 "Rockstar Pass" so am still waiting for "The Consul's Car" case.

  • lockload #18 8 months ago

    Most of the DLC is avergae id reather just pick up the game used for £20

  • oupe #19 8 months ago

    Make that: LA Noire: Completely Boring Edition

  • number3son #20 8 months ago

    "... includes access to all five previously available DLC cases, which must downloaded separately with a multi-use code provided."

    Ugh, you're kidding me, right? If this is supposed to be the complete edition, why not just include all the content on the disc? I hate having to deal with download codes that will inevitably expire at some point in the future.

  • Caimbeul #21 8 months ago

    Rockstar social fucking sucks - hope it doesn't use it. I cant see why publishers dont just stick with Steam as a standard for DRM as most people are happy with it

  • Vedfolner #22 8 months ago

    Never ever buy a game on the (original) day of release - six pathetic months it took!

  • Mnia786 #23 8 months ago

    Worth a rental more than a buy imo. Easily completeable in a week or two and no replay value unless you want 5*'s on all cases or trophies -.-

  • azic #24 8 months ago

    Why the fuck do Cockstar always do this!!
    Just fucking say it will be out on PC soon, rather than tricking me into buying it twice.

    Fucking annoys me no end! Well fuck it... I aint buying it again, it won't be gracing my steam list...
    Twats.

  • deadstoned #25 8 months ago

  • geox30 #26 8 months ago

    I have it on the PS3,so I'll pass.I just wish that Skyrim that everyone-myself included-puts top on their list,will be as good as we want it to be.

  • TechnicPuppet #27 8 months ago

    After one day with this game I was telling everybody how great it was. After 3 days I hated it. Won't be playing it again.
