If you've ever seen the movie Serpico, you know what happens to people who are walking, talking rulebooks, looking to stamp out corruption.

i hated all the stupid over the top facial expressions that irl you wouldnt do at all. it was just over the top trying to show off the engine and that made me hate it.

My opinion on LA Noire.

*mission about popcorn morphine ring*
YO MAN YOU CAN'T PROVE SHIT
*select popcorn bottle with morphine taped to bottom*
*failure music*
YO MAN WHATS THIS A SHAKEDOWN

T_T

My opinion on Cole Phelps:

"I'm sorry, I love my mommy so much and it's hard to think with her gone."
Cole: "It's okay honey, just tell me what you know."
*states something*
"YOU BETTER NOT BE LYING TO ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

*facepalm*

Great game, but it did baffle me.

L.A Noire was a quality attempt at something a little different.

even though it doesn't venture to far from the GTA model...

the only thing I wish was when you run around you should be able to use the guns..

it also shows that massive technology and face-capturing have come a long way... they need to just work on compressing the file sizes so they can include other tasks for the player to perform rather than the typical go from point A to point B.

The murder case is my fave, the conclusion about the real suspect is surprising!!!

I agree with the author
that whole thing about sleeping with that chick was weird. I was like wtf is he doing?! Why? She's not even hot!...after that i just pushed through the game to finish it. But not one of my favorite games at all.

I thought the game was excellent. It was a refreshing step away from the games out at the time.

This title should have stopped just before the ' entered the picture.

i like phelps after this :)

Up there with Heavy Rain in terms of enjoyment...one of my favs this gen

LA Noire could have done with some side missions, a few things to do in game world but on the whole i really enjoyed it

ahem spoilers

When you play a valve title you can feel the love and care that has gone into making it. La noire felt cold to me even before the news broke about the harsh treatment of staff at team bondi. It felt disjointed during the play through and I wasn't too bothered when the credits rolled and I traded it in.

I would be interested if rockstar were to have a stab at it but the whole thing needs looiking at from the ground up. The interrogations were seriously flawed, the facial expressions and false leads baffled rather than provided you with the tools to be a detective, whilst the game solved the crimes itself regardless of my actions. (Broken sword this was not)

Would love a blade runner sci-fi type la noire experience made by rockstar, I can but dream. Sort it rockstar, you would rule the world if you did science fiction.

I Loved the way that Phelps was a totally flawed character. He was on the "right" side of the law, but his moral compass was totally flawed and his personal life suffered because of it. We had reasons to like Phelps, such as his heroism and his unwaivering quest for justice for the victims, but at the same time, we just can't stand him becuaswe of his self-righeous attitude, his inability to take a joke, and of course his inability to be faithful to his wife and family. He was a typicaly Rockstar character of this gen, with a character development very similar to John Marston or Niko Bellic.

LA Noire was def one of my favorite games of 2011

No one cares why you hate him. Its just a video game.

"What's your beef with this guy, Phelps?"

this game gets overhyped and still is overrated...this and heavy rain
