COLE YOU BITCH

L.A NOIRE SPOILERS

WDYMM U ACTUALLY CHEATED ON UR WIFE

DUDE YOU UAVE A FAMILY WHAT THE FUCJKKK

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BOYS, WHY DID THEY EVEN ADD THAT AARRGHGHH

How am I supposed to cheer him on when he cheated on his wife WHILE HE HAS TWO KIDS SIGHHHHHHHH

[la-hoire]

Where do you sit in the camp of 'Roy was being somewhat genuine at Cole's funeral' camp? Because damn I just finished the game and I refuse to believe the man is THAT much of a good actor he'd slip in a voice crack lmao

(Props to Adam J Harrington for it though)

Tbfh I feel like Adam J Harrington accidentally made that noise after saying that whole speech and Team Bondi just went with it because that was probably their best take lmfao

But just looking at Roy, I think to an extent he felt a little bad about how this whole thing ended because I’m sure he did think Cole was a good detective and had potential. Plus that whole affair with Elsa and watching Cole act more and more like a dick probably made Roy think Cole would end up just being another dirty cop like him down the road, meaning they’d probably be besties.

Also Roy strikes me as the type of person who will do the least amount of work as long as he can get away with it so even if Monroe sent him, how would anyone even check if he really did his job? Homeboy could’ve just gone to the Blue Room and grabbed a drink and be paid for it (or not gone at all) but he still chose to actually warn Cole. If he wanted him dead, he could’ve just not said anything and nobody would know.

At the very least, I genuinely think Roy felt that Cole’s death was a waste and wasn’t something he necessarily wanted to happen but also wouldn’t go out of his way to prevent.

(Plus I think Roy was a good cop at one point but just got fucked up the longer he worked in Vice and saw how corrupt the LAPD was so maybe that was the decent part left in him actually feeling grief idk)

not to talk about a decades old game that has aged with some controversy but like LA Noire

and specifically homocide where, maybe im overthinking this, maybe it was an accident- but the game presents you with a choice of who to arrest (which is tldr the guy who probably did it, or the guy who probably didn’t do it but is also a far bigger hazard to society)

and it’s like? Do you do the right thing and arrest the guilty guy, sure-

and this is where storytelling and game mechanics merge because-

because if you do the right thing and don’t frame a probably innocent (of this) man you’ll get capped at a 3 out of 5 star rating (becuase your boss doesn’t really care about the guilt he j ust wants the one guy arrested, he just wants cases closed and things to look good. He doesn’t want doubt. Feel like there’s a commentary being made there if you squint /s)

and I knew this right. And I stood there, for ages, getting AFK dialgoues as I wondered whether it was better to fuck over my rating or to do the right thing. I even pressed the “ask your partner for help” prompt out of curiosity- and do you know what it said? It told me to do the right thing that penalises you. If you dither, if you go “shudl i do the right thing?” the game says “yes” and then it says “fuck you”

anyway I just think that’s really neat. LIke sure you could play it really emotionally unattached where you just care about statistics and achievements- but also isn’t that the point? That you care more about your job, about looking good than actually helping? idk just a very cool thing that came up there

but as i said, maybe im overthinking, maybe it’s an accident. but that was a very interesting moment of metagaming (if im using the term right)

gonna do the same shit there Ira Hogeboom did in Okinawa

As I always say, I haven't played Waven, so I don't know how far in you gotta be to have these quests, but I'm getting really peeved seeing you get to interact with Pinpin, Pin, Eva, Ruel, Elaine and Encre Noir, and even Lotie, while Yugo and Amalia remain nowhere to be seen.

I'm warning you, Ankama, if anything happens to them in The Great Wave or you break them up, next time I see you it's on sight.

Damn. There are series and games I love. But the plot... When some of the characters have their terrible fate sealed, so randomly...

Spoilers for Banana Fish and LA Noire ahead...

Like, whenever they kill the guys seeking a form of redemption, goddamn, I hate these... And yet those are great stories. But do I want to rewatch or replay these ?! Nah. Or if anything, I'll stop before the actual end I think.

Ash Lynx, Cole Phelps. Squished by fate like little flies. RIP. The first one definitely hurted more somehow. Good kid at heart. Cole ? Yeah, he seems antipathic a lot of the times, but you can tell that he's tired of stupid honors. I've read comments saying his cheating doesn't make sense but oh boy... Would you talk to your wife about the shock of seeing your mate's exploded body ? Burned screaming civilians ? Yeah, no. But the traumatic past is clearly something shared with Elsa. Anyway...

For both, I have to say I'm not a fan of not giving them the peace of mind they deserved after having tortured lives.

If there's a graveyard for fictional characters, well let them actually rest in peace.

Well developed stories but GODDAMN. Authors, who hurted you ?

a song that reminds you of L.A. noire

reply with the name/link of a song that reminds you of L.A. noire. and if you can, add a reason on “how” and “why” it reminds you of L.A. noire.

mine is; Deep Song by Billie Holiday.

the lyrics “Lonely grief is hounding me. Like the lonely shadow hounding me. It's always there, just out of sight. Like a frightening dream on a lightening night” reminded me of Cole Phelps and his past (during his time in the war). in many scenes, we see and hear Cole doing his best to avoid talking about topics like the war. Every time he gets reminded of the past, he definitely gets PTSD. Which is also why he avoids topics of the war.

Spoilers;

“Lonely wind cries out my name” made me thought of Cole after his affair with Elsa. Ever since that incident, his life instantly flipped over. His fans became haters, haters became more filled with hateful emotions. Lonely wind = haters + Elsa + Jack.
