decriminalized, not really legal. Colorado seems to have it better, and they're trying to get it on the ballot this year, hopefully they don't f*ck it up like we did.

Man, you must be the *happiest* camper. Me? I had to get high too, just so your posts actually made some sort of sense.

The first kid you pull over in the auto theft DLC calls it "Wacky 'Baccy". That's my new personal favorite euphemism/nickname.

nice, can't wait. I wish they could just release a new case every month or two.
I have a feeling that this is it though, considering all of the writing, story-boarding, and acting.

@chocobox Just because some person happens to dabble in marijuana such as themselves doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it because its not something you do. Honestly, I can understand not liking the drug, and choosing not to do it but ripping on someone's opinion is just plain rude.

@(Unverified) Also note that I do marijuana as well, and I don't find it "cool to do" or that its going to make me popular or anything, I only do it because I have nothing better to do and it makes video games even more enjoyable IMO.

This is Sparta grade BS
The game took 7 years with hundreds of people to make and was released a month ago.
Since then we get all these extra $$££ DLC.
This IS a case of the game being stripped of content to sell as an add-on. Should have had everything on the disc.
My limit per game is $60, so once they release a full REAL edition, or until the game is discounted to a total of $60 with the DLCs, I'm waiting this one out.

Dude, I bought the game a week after release for $50 with $20 of amazon credit. which I used to buy the $10 rockstar pass
Also, the game is currently $50 on amazon right now with free shipping. and the rockstar pass is still only $10 on there
so are you buying it?

@Trilancer Absolutely agreed. Im glad someone else realizes this.
What I absolutely cannot stand the most is when games with content from the ORIGINAL GAME gets ripped out and sold as DLC. This is exactly what has happened with LA Noire. Every DLC, particularly the Nicholson Electroplating case, has main storyline connections. Although not focused on and very light commentary is on it, it is clear that these DLC cases were taken STRAIGHT from the game and simply sold additionally. In the Electroplating case, Cole has a conversation about what is going on in the main story regarding Elysian Fields and his old military partner (forget his name) meanwhile I beat the game about a month ago! It's such garbage.
And the worst part is they cost alot too. The Rockstar Pass is a total sham as well.
I'm severely pissed and quite frankly sore over this whole fiasco regarding Team Bondi and Rockstar. Apparently the losses were so great that Rockstar had to figure out a way to nickle and dime everyone to take it out on consumers. Makes me rage.

@eat it
That still doesnt excuse the practice though. Just because you caught a deal on Amazon for buying from Amazon doesn't justify the total lack of disregard to the consumers. Hell, I'd be pissed even with the Amazon credit because you could've spent that $10 for the Rockstar pass on something actually useful. It's like you didn't get a deal or anything at all.

@Omega2822
what? I paid $50 for it and I have all of the DLC and $10 amazon credit left over.
also, right now, this very minute it is $49.99 with free shipping and the DLC is $9.99 for a downloadable code
the full game can be had for $60 right now. this very second and probably from here on out. is that not why people are complaining?

@Trilancer can't blame the Dec here....its Microsoft's fault....it would have most likely cost them more to put the game on one more disc than to download it....

Yes obviously they were developed with the game but it's not like they suddenly got to release date and thought 'hey! let's pull this bit out and we can sell it later for more!'
The game was budgeted for this from the beginning. In other words it's basically a ~$75 game that's been split into parts, not a $60 game. If they hadn't had the DLC cash planned in, they probably would just have made fewer cases. After all, it seems like what they put on the disc was already enough to get some pretty good reviews and lots of sales.

Pot humor is second only to the pun as laziest form of comedy, but I can't not snicker at the phrase "Jazz cigarettes". I love it. It's like a term Butters or Ralph WIggum would use.

She was living in a single room with three other individuals.
One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females.
God only know what they were up to in there.
And furthermore Cole, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes...
reefers!

Weed is a safer, more effective pain killer than most prescription meds. It also treats PTSD better with fewer side-effects than what's currently used (antipsychotics, off-label). It's safer and less addictive than tobacco or alcohol. Only reason it was made illegal was to throw people of color in jail. I wonder if any of pot's real-life political history will show up in this mission... talk about corruption.

I imagine it will be mentioned, but in the end Cole will continue being a willful cog in the machine.
That's probably the thing that bothered me most about the game on the whole; I always felt like I was in the wrong, and it was often revealed that I was, but I had no agency over it.
