I unlocked Public Menace:

$120,497 vehicle damage...Injuries at $1,450 (I actually managed to kill a few people instead of them dodging all over the place) and City damage at $3,239. One Star'd, yeah!!!

Lol...I have 5 achievements left but I'm curious...I unlocked Shamus to the Stars upon Five-Starring the 20th case...is that supposed to happen? I had five starred every case before it, so I'm curious about this..

[Smooth Pancakes]

I just got Public Menace yesterday. $450,000.

I wrecked probably 20 fire trucks and easily 100-200 cars, had $2,000 in injuries, and $1,500 in city damage. I was so paranoid that by the time I got done playing the case (chose the first traffic case since it's a very short, simple one) that I wasn't going to have enough damage, so I went WAAAY overboard.

And on another achievement related note, 100% retail! All retail achievements are done, and played both currently released DLC cases just a couple hours ago for the first time since downloading them via the Rockstar Pass two weeks ago, all done. Sitting at 1200G waiting for the dates of the next two DLC cases to arrive. Thankfully not long to wait by now, at least for Nicholson.

I went on a massive tear getting the remaining achievements I had left. All since midnight EDT yesterday (the 14th), I completed The Fighting Sixth, Roscoe and Friends, Shamus To The Stars, Auto Fanatic, Public Menace, Hollywoodland, and The City of Angels. Then since midnight EDT today (the 15th, which it is currently 5:48 am EDT where I am), I have knocked out both DLC cases and all 10 related achievements. A hell of a 30 hours for me.

Getting all the vehicles is the worst....so annoying

I actually didn't find the vehicles bad at all. I racked up easily 80+ vehicles without even trying, then all but one of the remaining vehicles I still had to find were located in various cases.

The only one I didn't have and couldn't get easy in a case, was the Lincoln Contiental Convertible, which even then, I just completely randomly found driving down the street in Hollywood while replaying one of the Vice cases for the 5-star rating.

[tenjounokaze]

I just unlocked City of the Angels as the final achievement possible as of today (not including Reefer and Nicholson cases), and I have to say, while I still feel a sense of accomplishment, I feel like it wasn't as enjoyable as the Redeemed achievement from Red Dead Redemption, and therefore wasn't as satisfying. I thought the cars thing and the film reels quest were just tedious and more time-consuming than enjoyable gameplay.

Anyone else share my feeling of disappointment in a very minor sense?

[bradywalter1997]

Im fine with switching discs. It's not very frequent. But when I'm trying to get 100% achievement completion, it can get kinda annoying. Ok, disc 3 for this. Wait, wtf. Now I'm going to Disc 1? Smh.

[bradywalter1997]

Is it really even that hard to get 100% achievement completion? It seems like the achievements dont really involve skill in achieving them.

[cjdavies]

Can't wait to play this next week on my week off from work, and even better my Xbox magazine has a achivement guide to get 800G by doing it in that order :-)

The Auto Fanatic Achievement is just anoying and probably the longest one to do hoterwise they are quite simple to do

There's this thing called the Red Dead Wiki mate... Pretty much nails all the GeeGee locations. The cars are proving to be an arse on this, though tbh I've not spent any real time hunting them as I'm enjoying the game too damn much.

Started playing and it got on my nerves as I kept reading the magazine, and wasn't enjoying the game.

So I have decided to play the game with 1 run through, not bothering with achivements and after do a second run following the guide and in the process use a guide to get 5 star on each case.

Somewhat yes and somewhat no. RDR seemed to go on a lot longer since things were so damn spaced out, and several of the things required to get 100% in RDR took quite a while (namely Poker and some of the quests). So yes, I did feel more accomplished when I aced RDR, but I simply enjoyed the experience of Noire a bit more.

Public Menace question...

Going to get the game soon and had a question about this one. I guess you're supposed to do this on a case replay, correct? What if you originally got 5 stars on the case and when you replay it to get this achievement all the damage causes you to get a low case rating? Does it then count against you and have to redo the case a third time to get the 5 stars again?

[djrapperz]

I am trying to get where u do 40 street crime chevo I av been stuck on 38 for ages and ive done 5 or 6 more street crimes and it just doesnt seem to go past 38 any help plz

No, if you get 5 stars, it'll stay.

[djrapperz]

I am still waiting for sum help

[IM A VAMPIRE 89]

There are some pretty cool achievements in this game. I liked the one for keeping your hat on during a brawl and the one for finding the sites around the city.

[IM A VAMPIRE 89]

I am having a hard time with the golden reels achievement. it's not hard but it's tedious and time consuming. and the whole driving all the cars in the game thing just seems like it is going to take a long time to. I am at 45 but have no idea what cars I have driven...is there any way to check that?

In the extras section of the main menu you can go to vehicle showroom and see what you have and what you need. I kinda liked the golden reels because it took you to some different areas of the game that I wouldn't of checked out otherwise. It really highlighted the detail of the game, but it did get tedious towards the end. I just makred the spot on the map and made my partner drive there, wasn't horrible.

[AndrewAdams]

How Easy is it to 100% this game?
Its only like 20$ on Ebay so I might buy

[reeksy86]

finally, a game that has achievements that are not based around multiplayer, seem to be quite fun as well trying to get them all, a bit stuck on the cars though, 82/95...

[Demolition D]

I had the regular version at launch. Now, I have the "Complete Edition". Had to erase OLD saves to be able to play New LA Noire {Lazy Programming}.

Big Question: Do get the 100% achiev, does it go by Achiev's or will I have to do everything again in the new LA Noire?

In the old game, all I had to do is get about 20 cars and would have been done.

I'm afraid what the answer is ...

thanks.

BTW-

I love this game and too bad the dev's of the game went broke and were let go, but it is pure laziness how they set up the saves.

I think that already has been solved your problem, but for the others how still stucked there's a guide to help you at the link bellow:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...t=street+cases

I think the problem must be "wrong place on the wrong time"

[ManMadeOfBacon]

Achievements in this weren't too bad, but still tough.

[yourbreakfast99]

wish me luck in 100%. Got the game and gonna play it soon

[Iceskater101]

The cars achievement is really making me mad.. some cars, I couldn't find anywhere..

[GeneralGranko]

Just completed last one - Hollywoodland aka collect all golden film reals which was pretty boring and time consuming for me (2 hours) atleast there is a time-saving possibility - let your parnter drive, if there wasn´t this option, it would take good 5 hours I think...

So happy to have 100% on this "finally".

Game time = Around 28 hours (if I wouldn´t use the guides and stuff it would probably be like 31 hours).

[SenhorDasTrevas]

80 hours to get the "The City Of The Angels" achievement. Yeah, I am not much skilled... Well, I loved this game!

[jakelion]

I want this game!
