It’s not very much like RDR at all. RDR is set in the “wild west” in like 1912. L.A. Noire is set in 1940’s Los Angeles. Both games do feature newspapers, but the ones in L.A. Noire count towards your trophies/achievements for the game (you have to find and “read” all 13, and unlike in RDR, when you read a paper in L.A. Noire, you can go “behind the headline” to see how other events in the game are happening at the same time, just behind the scenes, and eventually (no spoilers here) the storylines converge at the end.

The only other similarity L.A. Noire and R.D.R. have in common are bounties (R.D.R.) and responding to dispatch calls (L.A. Noire). Again, unlike R.D.R., finishing 1, 20, and all 40 of the dispatch calls can net you trophies/achievements for the 1st you do, then at the halfway point and again when you have done them all.

All said, Pintint, I think you’d be doing yourself a HUGE favor if you just give L.A. Noire a chance, and if you like extra content for your games, by all means, splurge for The Complete Edition (if you can find it anywhere that is...good luck with that!)
