I remember this game so vividly. The crazy weapons of the himan faction. The armors, the vehicles. The freedom of flying with the Na´vi. Crazy times. Such a great concept. Wouldnt describe it as openworld... specially in todays standards... but for what it was and the time it was pretty great. I only regret they didn´t add much like DLC's or extra missions. Such a great memory from my childhood. I need it back!
This was my first game that I ever owned when I first purchased the Xbox 360; its simply a fun campaign from both the Human and Na'vi side. Its really challenging to get this game for PC, so this would be fantastic if it could release on GOG.
My fav game probably, forgot how many times I palyed it through...
This was so much "better" than Frontiers, creative, story wise ambious and gameplaywise kinda various. I mean it had giant meaningful decisions that literally changed the game...
Also ngl I prefer being human and discovering Pandora "for the first time" vs being only na'vi like in Frontiers. This game had both in one package!
My biggest regret of my gamer life that I missed buying it digiatlly on Uplay/Steam, only got useless DVD one that for a long time I haven't even had player for... Thanks to that I missed ever even trying out its multiplayer, but the worse part that it is not in my convient versatile digital collection...
Ever since this game was taken off the steam storepage long ago, it has been nearly impossible to play again and installing a old copy from Steam just runs into errors or crash to desktops. I was baffled they didn't re-release this game yet around when the new avatar movie came out and I personally think this game fits the list as a otherwise abandoned game GOG should try to get onto their Good Old Games project. Sure it wasn't the best action game by modern standards but it was a product of it's era and deserves to be polished off the dust cabinet of abandoned games.

L.A. Noire: The Complete EditionL.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed.
The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir, stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity. The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as Key Largo, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.
L.A. Noire is notable for using Depth Analysis's newly developed technology MotionScan, whereby the actors portraying the game's characters were recorded by 32 surrounding cameras to capture facial expressions from every angle. The technology is central to the game's interrogation mechanic, as players must use the suspects' reactions to questioning to judge whether or not they are lying. L.A. Noire was the first video game to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival. Upon release, the game received wide acclaim for its advances in storytelling and facial animation technology. As of February 2012, both PC and console versions had shipped nearly 5 million copies combined.
In addition to the original full game, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition for PC will include a multi-use code to access all the previously released downloadable content from the console versions, including the “Nicholson Electroplating” Arson case, the “Reefer Madness” Vice case, “The Consul’s Car” Traffic case, “The Naked City” Vice case and “A Slip of the Tongue” Traffic case.Open world Action Historical Thriller Warfare Sandbox Mystery

Shenmue I & II"Originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000 and 2001, Shenmue I & II is an open world action adventure combining jujitsu combat, investigative sleuthing, RPG elements, and memorable mini-games.
