I hated in Galaxy when I'd save up a bunch of lives during a game sessions but when I'd start over again they'd bump me back down to 5 lives. I'm glad for the change.
@scully1888 I actually was pretty surprised you dinged it the way you did. I was happy these issues have gotten some attention because by and large they've been ignored on most other sites. I do feel the Micro-Transactions are especially egregious this year as they made it almost impossible to progress without them, whereas in years past they were less intrusive. However, the real issue is that this game is in a broken state right now on the Switch, and you've given ample attention to that in your review.
If I've learned one thing from the NBA2K18 debacle, it's that all this stuff doesn't matter if you ship a broken game. Get the game right and all this "mandatory install" , "30fps", or "720p" crap won't matter because we'll have a fun game that runs well.
I'm just very very disappointed. There is no way 2K didn't know about the cutscene issue beforehand. There has been absolute and complete radio silence on every major video game website about these issues. That to me is very suspect and disheartening, because there is no way they don't know about these issues either.
I literally posted over on IGN on Saturday saying the same things as this review. I almost got ran out of the comment section, getting accused of being a Sony troll and told to STFU. The ACTUAL game is good, but it's broken on the Switch.

I hope they add some really good tutorials in this version! ;-P
Re: L.A. Noire On Switch Will Run At 1080p When Docked, 720p In Handheld Mode
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah, but this game is waaay older than Doom.
