just completed LA Noire not long ago and I've gotta say, it was an awesome game.
Loves:
- Cole Phelps, enough said.
- Stefan Bekowsky. he's the only partner who gets along very well with Phelps upon first meeting and I really love his jokester nature. too bad beyond that, there's nothing interesting about him. no backstory etc, but he's still my favourite.
- Captain James Donelly. I dunno, he's the only captain in the LAPD who stands out the most, probably because he was the only captain who appeared in trailers. I wonder what happened to him after Phelps got demoted?
- Interrogations. I love how the suspects perform their facial expressions, but it gets frustrating as the game progresses because their expressions seem more deceiving, like one asshole could actually tell a lie with a fucking straight face!
- Shoot outs. I really love the aiming, very accurate and you can shoot down assholes easily without struggle. I find it difficult to take cover at times, but it's still fun.
- Driving. very smooth and the car obeys your controls all the time, but I prefer letting my partner drive to locations 'cause I'm lazy.
Hates:
- Dr. Harlan Fontaine. the moment he was introduced through those newspapers sidequest, I started hating him. he's always putting on that "high class act" it pisses me off. I cheered out loud when he was killed.
- Roy fucking Earle. he accepts bribes, caused Phelps' demotion and he still fucking got away with it in the end?!
- Courtney Sheldon, another annoying prick. I'm glad he got killed.
- Elsa Lichtman, another annoying bitch who only causes trouble.
- Car chases, especially when the asshole turns into a narrow alley.
Others:
- why did they cut out Fraud and Burglary Desks? the game was fun, but it was sadly very short.
- in a Homicide case, all evidence points to the victim's husband, but here's the most fucked up part: if you charge him instead of the child molester, despite getting all clues and all questions correct, YOU CAN'T GET A FUCKING 5 STARS RATING!!
- the Cole/Elsa affair was so abrupt and sudden, it seemed like a WTF moment. when was there ever chemistry between those two? I understand that Phelps can't stand it whenever Roy abuses the bitch, but huh...?
- what happened to Phelps' partner in Patrol Desk, Ralph Duncan and Stefan Bekowsky after all that bullshit?
- I wanted to say "what happened to...?" but I can't remember who I wanna ask about. :sweat:
