I think reddit might be more your speed

>posts the wire

>not southland

>not the shield

Shittiest taste.

Murder: Souls Suspect, L.A Noir, every Sherlock Homes.

I only recently realized I like the genre and don't really know any crime shows aside from Breaking Bad and the Wire. Do those show do the CSI and Law and Order thing where the episodes are self contained? Or do they have a decent over arching story?

I was hoping there would be something more modern day, though I'll download the Sherlock Holmes games.

I only played LA Noire of the games listed. I liked the story except the fucking flamethrower and general ending, but the interrogation mechanic seemed really amateur. Are there any better examples of doing it?

If only those games weren't hell and back again to get working properly on a new computer.

Max Payne 1 is very easy to fix, you just download and replace a file in the installation root and presto! It works just fine.

Sleeping Dogs fits the bill for what you want. It's a cool, Kung fu crime drama, though the story is typical gangster bullshit, so nothing particularly interesting. Still got cool characters and a setting you don't see to much.

Try Sinking Island.

It's an old-style adventure game based around investigating and solving a murder case on an island.

Long, interesting story. Each chapter has to be completed by assembling the collected evidence and reaching the correct conclusion (only real problem is the correct conclusion is not always obvious).

Think 'The Wire', but actually good. Start with Southland.

>>13848596

>Are there any good crime drama games?

San Andreas

>Something with a long, interesting case/s?

I don'tthink there's any good cop games.

>To be fair, they'd have to ramp up the graphics quite a bit to sell their stuff on another platform than handhelds.

<Implying people don't already pay top dollar for shitty/simple graphics in indie games

>And since it's definitely niche content, maybe they didn't find it easy to gather funds for that or were willing to take the risk.

Hmm. Niche? Maybe. I suppose there is a shortage of decent detective games on PC, but LA NOIRE sold pretty well IIRC.

>And I'm pretty sure the Wii game sold even worse than the handheld stuff

Not surprised. Majority target audience for Wii is WiiFit users and people who like those sports games, and maybe super smash brothers.

>I'd have loved to see a full fletched console or pc game by cing with a somewhat mature setting like hotel dusk

Me too. It sounds cool.

Been on my backlog for years

>>13850242

Looks really nice visually

Cool, I'm excited to give them a watch then. I'll download them when I get home.

I definitely am when it comes to live action tv shows, but I haven't watched many and the Wire is right on the edge of being to pozzed for me to even finish, that's why I'm excited to hear there's better crime dramas than these two.

I do love breaking bad up to the end of season 4 though, can't help that.

the only one i thoroughly enjoyed was Manhunt (I have a knack for picking games that put you in the shoes of the asshole) but I really don't think it qualifies. I thought about picking up the Max Payne series when I was still partly a consolefag but it just seemed like a streamlined, story oriented GTA for my taste.

Go watch End of Watch while you're at it. It's probably the only good "buddy cop" movie, and it's heavily grounded in reality.

>>13853457

> End of Watch

geez, that also looks really good. Will do, thanks.

>the wire

>reddit

The Wire is the patrician's choice you colossal faggot.

>>13851830

Every tv show is normalfag by definition.

>>13855992

>Oz is basically better in every way

It's a male soap opera through and through. Most overrated show on HBO.

>>13864745

>It's a male soap opera

You better delete this right now.

>>13866257

Not to mention a soap opera with gay sex.

>>13866272

All I remember from the show was the Italian guy getting fucked in his pale smooth ass, by a tall black guy, and neo-nazi, whatever floats your boat, I guess.
