Gamedec vs L.A. Noire
Gamedec
Gamedec is a story-driven CRPG in which you play as a game detective, or “gamedec” that's set in a cyberpunk world where people mostly prefer Virtualia (the virtual world) than the real one (a.k.a. Realium). Similar to a private investigator, your job, when hired, is often to solve problems in the many game worlds in Virtualia, most of which can also be linked to issues in Realium, with your unique set of gamedec tools. There are plenty of decisions to make, people to talk to and professions to pick up as you progress through the storyline, revealing one plot twist after another!I truly can’t sing enough praises for Gamedec. The storytelling, the setting, and the immersion here are nothing short of impressive and I just love that there are so many different ways you can go about doing things. The movement controls can be a bit wonky at times, but that doesn’t take away the fact that this game is as good as they come, and well, if you’re into achievements, you can have fun playing through the story again and again, trying out other dialogue choices and maybe even discovering new story branches that you might have missed in your previous run.
L.A. Noire
L.A. Noire is a crime thriller game that allows you to play as a Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective who was in charge of a string of arson attacks, gory homicides and other conspiracies that are running rampant, tearing up the city left and right. Being a detective, you'll need to look for clues, hunt down suspects and interrogate witnessses. You'll also find yourself in various difficult situations as you play and every decision you make will affect the storyline somewhat.With a gripping plot that you can actually interact with and a host of characters that are incredibly realistic and relatable, L.A. Noire is a noir-themed game that will keep you at the very edge of your seat. The realism in this game is simply astounding. If you enjoy a good crime thriller, this is definitely the game to play.
