Was this reply helpful? I think the main reason was because there are so many different dialogue outcomes based on what can you say and how NPCs respond to that. And the MotionScan software takes up a lot of data hence why it can't all fit on one disc. Rockstar claims that the game was originally going to ship on 6 discs until they started cutting content! Yeah, it's the motion scan. My concern is that if it took that much space It's not needed.
It would certainly help but it isn't a need. People can change discs. It isn't a problem. As long as the game is there is all that matters. I hate the controller. My PS3 is my exclusives machine only So disc swapping it is! I can live with 2 swaps, it's still less than I had to do for Mass Effect 2 which wasn't a big deal either. It's a terrible time when people get all fired up over such a simple thing as switching discs. It's fine to want a change, but to get all riled up over something so silly is ridiculous.
Get the PS3 version if you do not want to swap, but if your sane and are okay with taking a break to switch the discs, then go ahead and get the Not sure why people have to fight over that. Oh good, more arguing about nonsense. What is it about this game that inspires so many fights? Is it a conspiracy to keep Sweep coming back in here to break things up until he sees a spoiler and has the game ruined for him? All the advocates of disc swapping just tell you to do it because THEY have to..

The game uses a distinctive coloring style, as well as including the choice of a grayscale filter, in homage to traditional film noir. The post-war setting is the backdrop for plot elements that reference history and detective films of the time, such as corruption and veteran trauma, accompanied by a classical jazz soundtrack.
The gameplay of L. Noire is similar to that of other crime-based adventure and third-person action games. However, the roles are reversed. By finishing cases , Phelps rises through the ranks of the LAPD , from a regular patrol officer all the way to a widely respected Vice detective. Supplementary modes of play include driving, shooting and hand-to-hand combat, but the bulk of the game is comprised of investigation , which can require combing through crime scenes , following leads, solving puzzles or tailing suspects, and the signature interrogation mechanic, for which the game's proprietary MotionScan facial animation technology was developed, which allows the player to read each character's exact expressions when attempting to deduce the veracity of their statements.
The main story campaign is largely linear and mission-based, but the open world every chapter takes place in can be freely explored at almost any time, with various collectibles and side missions scattered throughout; for these, the game additionally includes a free-roam mode, The Streets of L. In , working with his partner Ralph Dunn Rodney Scott , Phelps successfully and almost singlehandedly solves a murder case, impressing the captain of the Homicide department, James Donnelly Andrew Connelly , who helps promote him to detective.
Around this time, he begins falling for German lounge singer Elsa Lichtmann Erika Heynatz , and eventually has an extramarital affair with her. Unknown to him, Roy Earle Adam J. Harrington , his partner in Vice and a corrupt cop, uses this information to help several prominent figures in the city cover up a major scandal by making him a distraction for the media, in exchange for a place in a syndicate known as the " Suburban Redevelopment Fund " SRF —an illegitimate development program that claims to supply housing for homecoming WWII veterans.
When his adultery is exposed, Phelps becomes disgraced within the LAPD, hated by Los Angeles at large, is demoted to work in Arson , and his wife kicks him out, leaving him to go live with Elsa. Just prior to this, Phelps discovered that several Marines of his former unit had been selling morphine syrettes stolen from the ship that had taken them home, the S. Coolridge , which later led to most of them being assassinated by mobsters working for Mickey Cohen Patrick Fischler , who held major control of the drug trade and resented the competition; most of the stolen drugs remained unaccounted for by the time he was demoted, after which he was unable to pursue the case any further.
While investigating a pair of suspicious house fires with his partner in Arson, Herschel Biggs Keith Szarabajka , Phelps notes a connection between them and the housing company Elysian Fields , but is explicitly warned by Earle not to investigate it's founder and CEO, tycoon land developer Leland Monroe John Noble.
Cole doesn't go ask himself, not just due to the legally dubious nature of a police detective outsourcing an unauthorized investigation to an outside party, but also because of their complicated and unsavory personal history from serving together in the war. Kelso quickly discovers that the development is using unsuitable building materials for the houses, which could potentially indicate an intent to quickly destroy them later.
After escaping pursuit from a bevy of Monroe's goons attempting to keep him from the truth, he is given an offer by Assistant District Attorney Leonard Petersen Larry Sullivan to become a D. Investigator, to which he accepts. Kelso and Phelps eventually learn from their investigations that the Fund is merely a front for an entirely different objective: to defraud the US Federal Government. Run by several local businessmen, dignitaries, as well as Monroe and Chief of Police William Worrell Ryan Cutrona , the syndicate had learned the proposed route for the Whitnall Parkway that was to go through the Wilshire district of the city, and thus bought the land it would run through.
Further investigations reveal that Courtney Sheldon Chad Todhunter , another corpsman of Phelps and Kelso's former unit, had been involved in the theft of the morphine Phelps was investigating while in Vice. The unsold remainder of the morphine had been given to Sheldon's mentor and pop psychiatrist Harlan Fontaine Peter Blomquist , who sold it on to finance the Fund, and eventually murdered Sheldon with it after he began questioning the syndicate's plans.
After learning all he could from investigating outside sources, and not eager to be jumped again, Kelso takes the initiative by rounding up the last few surviving veterans from his unit and mounting a direct attack on Monroe's mansion. Marvin Campbell , a former flamethrower operator who had also served alongside Phelps, Kelso and Courtney in Okinawa, to help them with their plans.
Hogeboom, suffering from PTSD and schizophrenia after inadvertently killing a vast number of civilians on Phelps' orders, had been manipulated by Fontaine into torching the houses of holdouts who refused to sell their property to the SRF, and eventually went insane after being tricked into incinerating a house that had an entire family inside. It is also during late-game war flashbacks that Phelps' Silver Star is revealed to be illegitimate, since his status as the sole survivor of the Sugar Loaf battle was purely based on luck rather than gallantry in combat; out of terror, he had gone into shock while lying in a foxhole as the rest of the troops were slaughtered around him.
Elsa went to see Dr. Fontaine and, after letting how much she knew about the conspiracy slip, he knocked her unconscious, intending to kill her as he had Courtney.
