Where can you rent Switch games? This could probably save me a lot of money on my impulse buying habit.
In the UK there's a site called Boomerang that lets you rent basically every major Switch game + even some digital ones which have physical editions. It's awesome.

Ah, gotcha. I'm in the States; the video store is, of course, completely dead and we have the similar Gamefly, but it's a little too pricey for what it offers, I think. Boomerang sounds like a great service to have around.
Anyway, don't mean to derail, carry on with the L.A. Noire.
How's the performance? The PS4 copy was shamefully laggy, and hard-crashed on me twice.
edit: asking whoever's tried the Switch port.
Played about an hour in handheld mode and it looks pretty amazing. HD rumble works nicely and alternates joy-cons depending on the situation. Very impressed with the port.
Flashback audio is out of sync, also a few sound effects ingame sounded screechy to me. Can't say if it's because I haven't downloaded anything and I'm only using the cart.
Wait, what? Why? That's definitely not in the PS4 version...or are you talking about the tutorial?
In the midwest, we have a chain called Family Video that rents out Switch, 3ds and console games. They don't have much of a selection for Switch compared to everything else though. And for some reason they make you put down a $20 deposit when you rent a Switch game, like it's any easier to lose than a 3ds cart.
Still? We had that chain in NJ when I was a kid in the 90s. I thought it went the path of Blockbuster, etc.
Yep, it's still around. I'm sure it has significantly downsized since the 90s, but there are at least 2 stores near me.
I'm at work, can Switch folks post a few screenshots of portable mode for me? Considering picking this up when I get off.
I remember absolutely loving this game. It was very much "my thing." Felt like a fully console realized Ace Attorney game.
I hope it finds more of an audience now. I think too many people expected it to be Red Dead or GTA. The success of Telltale's stuff might have helped to condition a more accepting audience.

LA Noire still good like I remember
The Switch version even has Rockstar social club link with your Nintendo account, it even talks about crews and stuff, Rockstar has something up their sleeves for Switch, LA Noire doesnt have multiplayer for crews, and this was a Switch specific interface, so no its not some generic thing thats just there for all consoles.

This looks interesting to me, but with Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Skyrim (never played it before), and Ittle Dew 2+ coming out, I have to keep the wallet focused on those. I'm glad L.A. Noire comes off as a satisfying port for Switch!
Another option would to check if your local library contains video games to check out. Mine doesn't do cartridge-based games, though, since I imagine the cartridges are so small and easy for people (especially kids) to lose (or eat, or whatever). But my local branch has everything else.

I never completed this on PS3, but enjoyed the bit I did play. If I can find it cheap on BF I might jump in again on ps4
Why even bother with a disc release?
Wait, so the majority of the game needs to be downloaded is not just with the Switch version? That is weird. There should be no space issues with the disks.
Lol they used a standard DVD instead of a Blu-ray disc!Why even bother with a disc release?
That's encouraging, I would love a Rockstar/GTA5-style sandbox on the Switch but am unsure if this would scratch that itch.
I really enjoyed the game back when it first came out but can't recall if there was much room to replay it making different decisions and such. I remember the open world being a bit barren and void of activities.
Any sort of technical issues would put me back on the fence waiting for a price cut. Will have to wait on some reviews.
I'm telling you guys that Nintendo Online is launching with GTA V as a big release day and date.
It absolutely would not (and that was a large part of its original mixed reception). There are a few places where things can play out differently in individual cases
(and I'm pretty sure there's at least one case in which no matter what ending you get it's unclear whether you've actually got the right perp)
I could see that happening. Another huge revenue stream for Rockstar. GTA 5 absolutely will not die.
Sure looks like it. I was hoping to play right away but ended up just eating dinner and playing BF2
It sounds like the PS4 version isn't all that with the new "enhancements"? Maybe the Switch version won't be so bad comparatively. Kind of miffed it's $10 more, though.
I was having a tough time deciding between PS4 Pro, XOX & Switch, but ultimately went Switch - glad I did, this runs and looks great on the Switch! Having it on the go is so good. Switch has been such a godsend for me, when my SO wants to use the TV there is no drama over who gets it, I just pick the Switch off the dock and everyone's happy.
was kind of interested in this but man, after watching the ACG review it just seems like such a lazy remaster. Never finished it the first time around.
If I had a switch to play on the fly I'd probably go for that version but if I'm gonna get on PS4 i'm definitely waiting for a deep sale.

Not sure what he/she is talking about, I have the Switch version, I'm just one hour in but have already skipped several cutscenes after having had to redo something.
This is me RE: the Switch. I think I might pick this up tomorrow. Hearing enough good things, plus I've never played it. I still have like... 300 games to finish, but at least I can dive in once I'm ready. Hard when Rocket League comes out digitally and there Xenoblade 2 on the horizon.
Why even bother with a disc release?
Fucking lol.
So even the PS4/X1 discs are useless pieces of plastic? What a twist! I wonder why they did this like that as Blu-Ray have more than enough space for the entire game.
Are you saying that you can actually start the game without the 'mandatory' download on Switch? (EDIT: Yeah, I just saw your earlier post about that.) I'm curious to know where the game just boots you out.

My god if rockstar is insane enough to try porting GTA V over...
Doesn't this game use the same framework, R.A.G.E like GTA does? Maybe this was more of a proof of concept?
Yeah that was an issue back when it first released. Even more obvious now. The pop-in is what is doing it for me though.

The Rockstar Social Club is cross-platform and crews are not limited to certain games. It would have been somewhat odd to not have this functionality when it's part of the overall Rockstar Social Club interface/experience. Also, all Rockstar games feature a Rockstar Social Club link these days, even the original L.A. Noire release already had that. It's to keep in touch with users and inform them about new Rockstar releases, regardless of the platform they release on.
