Haha that's funny. Because i preordered brink and i was able to get back the $60 i paid for it. I used that money to preorder La Noire which actually looks good. Brink SUUUCCKS!!! Don't get it.
You do realize L.A. Noire wasn't actually made by Rockstar though right? Let's be honest here, GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, and even Mafia 2 are all the same game. Only 2 of those are actually cool open world type games. While I don't doubt that L.A. Noire will be a good playthrough at least once (and I do plan on picking it up sooner or later), I certainly can't wait to see how many people complain about it's redundancy ..it's only so many times you can solve the same crimes, and actually you can pull up the cases online and find out who the killers were to help speed up the process in the game lol. Anywho, great gaming to you sir.
