Who else thinks L.A Noire is overrated?! It can't be just me!?

I guess I thought that since it was a Rockstar game it would be similar to GTA and Red Dead Redemption, but I find it alot more repetitive, tedious and boring.

All cases are the same: Someone's dead, look around their body for clues. Go somewhere and find more clues, question someone, question someone else, arrest them. Simple.

Also, you know every mission will be at best a foot chase; which you know will end in a fist fight, you shooting them or you firing a warning shot. A car chase; which will either end by you driving into the side of them or them driving into a tree/building/vehicle. Or a small 1 v 1 gunfight which you win after two shots.

No weapons other than the pistol (and you can pick up a shotgun and like 2 machine guns for very short term use.... and later a flamethrower which lets you kill ONE guy), cars that all look exactly the same, a map too big and confusing actions/outburts by the supposedly good main charcater make it confusing.

Your actions outside of missions don't affect gameplay either. You can kill as many people as you want, steal as many cars as you want and destroy as much stuff as you want but it doesn't matter. I thought it might at least have something similar to the 'honor' system from RDR where it doesn't affect gameplay, but your actions will cause people to either love/hate you, so you may at least get some interesting new dialogue from the random street characters.

And on top of that, whilst in GTA and RDR you are a renegade - or a guy that has a troubled past but trying to do good, but in this, you're just a guy that was in the army, with a nice family just trying to make your way up the police force. The way it's made so that it vibrates when a clue is near almost makes it feel like you're controlling the detective rather than being the detective. There's also very little playability in the game after the campaign is finished. Overall, as you can tell I'm underwhelmed by the game. Everywhere I look, people are saying how incredible it is, but I think it's not. Maybe Rockstar set their standards too high with GTA and RDR, but I can't help but think that they could have made a MUCH better game.
