L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition is available today across North America today via retail stores and digital distributors, including Steam, Amazon, Direct2Drive and OnLive (look for it Friday in Europe and Australia).

I've got a bunch of screenshots on my Steam account of the options, menus, and game graphics.

Thanks for the writeup! I got through most of it on the 360 (minus a few DLC missions), so it sounds like I'll prob pick it up on the pc once it's on sale.

Well the crashing on launch issue was easily solved by just starting Steam up as Administrator.

I cranked every setting the game had up and the graphics were obviously an improvement over the PS3 and ran very smoothly. But as with most console ports a lot of increase in fidelity just serves to highlight shortcomings, like buildings looking kind of blocky, jaggies even with 2x AA, and a slight bit of noticeable pop-in.

The settings provided seemed decent enough and keys were easily rebindable. There're also options to change the UI size and aim assist, so that's a nice PC touch. They've removed the option for realistic driving and the driving (using keyboard) seems much much easier than I remember. Shooting was comparable to PC versions of GTA.

I didn't see any GFMFWL and Rockstar's Social Club popped up but you can skip past it.

Overall everything went really smooth. I really didn't touch on any of the gameplay itself because the game has been out for 6 months, plenty of reviews dealing with that aspect. I don't know that I'd recommend it to anyone who already has it for consoles and unless you understand the gameplay (not GTA in 40s) I probably wouldn't even recommend it to anyone who didn't know what they were getting into. But if you're a fan of Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain, or the Adventure genre you'll probably want to pick it up.

I've got a bunch of screenshots on my Steam account of the options, menus, and game graphics.

I, too, would really like to see some BNReviews. I'm not even near to buying this game before some good reviews saying the game looks good and is stable. I still think Rockstar should've been put down like a fucking dog after the unstable piece of fuck that was the GTA port.

A review would be much appreciated. Frame rates? Video options? Kb/mouse control? Etc.

I'd like to hear those, too. And I want to say last time I looked at the requirements, there was no GFMFW this time?

Unfortunately the game is crashing before ever starting up. There's graphical setting in the launcher and I quickly tweaked a few but still no dice.

Don't feel like dealing with that right now. I'll try again tomorrow.

I wouldn't recommend playing it non-stop, because you'll get bored with it pretty quickly that way. At least I did. Do one or two cases a day, and you'll find it a lot more enjoyable, I think.

Yeah, I agree. It's as if they deliberately want it to sell poorly... This will be an awesome $15 pickup on Steam in a few months. Creston

To me the DLC for this game seemed a bit too "lets rip it out of the game for DLC"ish, hence I decided to hold off. I still think I will wait until the price of the complete edition drops, too many other games our right now and I'm in the process of finishing Red Dead which I only picked up a few months ago. Awesome game, too bad a PC version isn't coming. The modding crowd could do some awesome stuff with Red Dead.

I agree. Finished it on the PS3 and it was decent, but not something I'd rush out to buy at full price knowing what I do about the game now. A solid 7/10 for me, worth playing but also wait for a sale.

Already played through most of it on PS3, I'll just wait until this is half price or so, as much as it'd cost to buy the DLC.

I think most people will wait to pick this one up.

Single Player only, so it's not like you'll be missing out on online fun with your buddies.

I've considered buying this game many times. I really can't get over the fact that it just looks like it plays a lot like an "interactive" FMV game from the nineties, though. But then, everyone did say it was good. Maybe some day.
