It is. The "amazing" graphics have obviously aged like shit but the writing is absolutely stellar, a cut above pretty much anything else in the medium.
This. I was a teenager the first time I played it and it went right over my head. Replayed it a couple of years ago and it surprised me how subtle the undertone was, how real the characters and their motivations were. Phelps reminded me of myself coming into contact with the real world and realizing that corruption and incompetence are just a given in society and you better make peace with it
Of course. The only dated thing about are its graphics, but other than that it's a unique game and well worth playing, particularly if you're a film noir buff.
>You're full of shit, Jacob. The truth is you hated that b***h: You followed her and dragged her into the car and took her out to the Moors. She woke up, and you smashed her face in with a socket wrench. And then you stomped her... you stomped her because she was a drunken prostitute and she treated you like shit. You stomped her for all the years you had to take it. You stomped her because you're such a weak fricking sister, Jacob, and you wanted to erase all memory of it. Go on, try to deny it.
I had fun with it, but I had a friend watching me play, and he had a walkthrough open with the correct dialogue choices. I would tell him what I thought the answers were and he'd tell me if I was right. Game was much more enjoyable this way, because the choices just don't make any fricking sense some times and the game will progress even if you frick up the case. The atmosphere, writing, and city were all great.
when you play as the other character, the game starts sucking.
You frick young boys Valdez?

It was never worth playing
It is maybe worth playing
It's shit, your results basically don't matter and the game past the initial part is just a repetition until the end
No. This game is chock fricking full of propaganda and the decisions make no sense at all.
The dialog goes way the frick out of order most of the time and the game will just dump you off as if something awesome just happened.
It's not worth playing for free.
Watch it, gameplay is too tedious and repetitive to be fun
It has its moments but its few and far between.
it wasn't worth playing in 2011
It's fun. Play it in black and white so you have no idea what you're looking at.
Obviously. peak Rockstar.
it was never worth playing. watch the cutscenes (including conversations) as a movie if you're interested in the story. the gameplay sucks.

It's not worth a replay. Once you know all the murders are done by one person and you can never actually solve them it kills any replayability.

Nope it is an incel /misc/ power fantasy.
