    To the people who didn't like the ending, I wouldn't be completely honest if I didn't say I can understand where you're coming from. On the other hand, remember that film noir was not known for happy or uplifting endings. Sure, a couple had them, I guess, but overall their general tone was downbeat and pessimistic, essentially seeing the world as largely corrupt. I've always felt it was a way of working out all those lingering negative feelings from the past fifteen years or so (the Depression and World War II).
    And in terms of the game itself, Phelps is the hero, but definitely a flawed one. His largest sin was committed by fire, his redemption was brought with the water, even if it took his life. And there is an ambivalent quality to the ending as well (something else film noir is known for) in that Roy Earle himself talked about the corruption that had been going on, indicating it's all been exposed and stopped, even if some of the bad guys like him got away. It's not the kind of ending we're all used to (especially in a video game), but in the context, I think it's highly appropriate.

      Rdr1 and la noire both had tragic endings. Difference is rdr1 didn't rush a quarter of the whole game and the ending. Some symbolism does not suddenly make an ending good. It came out of nowhere.

    I like the game without a sequel. Even though it may seem unfinished to some, and you may want to avenge Cole, it sort of shows how messed up his police force was and it "shows the real story of his life" (even if he was not a real police force hero) . Still in my opinion the best game Rockstar Games has made, story wise.
    EDIT: I would also like to say that Team Bondi has created this masterpiece as well, so props to them !

    This game is better than Grand Theft Auto V. Even though there was more to do in GTA V, I like this game better because of it's nice story line. Gameplay doesn't mean shit to me. LA Noire is one of those games you'll play and never forget. I liked how it focused more on its story rather than just it's shooting sequences unlike most games these days where it's just mindless shooting. I hope to see more games like this.

      123doomdoom I actually did like it, but one thing I didn't care for what character development, and the personalities of most of the characters, particularly Michael and his family. Michael wasn't a terrible character, but he wasn't a very likable one either. I felt the game would've been better if the characters had better personalities. They just focused on gameplay in GTA V, like they always do.

      I'm sorry but these are video games,maths thing you should prioritise in a video GAME is the GAMEPLAY. The main draw of a video game is the gameplay, if you're all about the story you should watch a film. A good story definitely helps make a good game but great gameplay is absolutely required to make a good game. GTAV triumphs over L.A. Noire certainly in gameplay and also has a pretty good story. L.A. Noire's gameplay grew extremely tedious near the end: walk around a room, pick up clues, interview someone, drive somewhere, pick up clues interview someone, chase someone, shoot some people, repeat, repeat.

      PerfectTube12 I dont see why your comparing this to GTA V? They are totally opposite games (LA Noire was published by Rockstar not developed) with similar but also very different mechanics. Personally, I do not know a game anything like this, and the only things I can compare it to GTA V is the driving and open-world. This 2011 game has way better facial recognition than any 2017 game and you can see the dedication put into this game. I have come across no glitches or blips and you can see the detail and dedication. GTA is turning into a pay to win franchise. I have lost all respect in a game that introduced me to gaming.

      VideoGameFools I will say that Red Dead Redemption was sad as hell. I had waited 3 months before ending the game so I could play as John Marston after hearing from a friend I had finish the game before me to see how the ending was, had told me John gets killed and so does Uncle. Not only was the ending when they tore John to pieces open like a damn piece of paper after he saved Blackwater and the losing assholes who ran it, but when the guys he was working with had been killed by 2 Blackwater Police Officers on the outskirts of Blackwater and when I seen the Indian mission on the Liars And Cheats pack I had wrote a comment on Rockstar.com "What are you idiots thinking?? First I find out that John Marston is shot to death and then I download you're Liars And Cheats pack and play through that and it makes me feel worse when I see there are Indians and African American's scattered vastly throughout a farm, that were also killed by Blackwater Police Officers. You guys should check yourselves and not make a plot twist in a story that has a good line throughout the whole game" not saying the storyline wasn't interesting, which it was, in my opinion it's some of they're best work yet that has been done yet, it's just between L.A. Noire and they're like you said uncalled for ending, GTA IV and Niko's loss of Kate McReary or Roman, Red Dead Redemption and the loss of Uncle, Abigail and mostly John, GTA V and the loss of either Michael or Trevor which shouldn't even be a choice and the loss of Big Smoke who was emotionally fucked up on freebase (still had to be done). I think Rockstar needs to lighten up on the death's of they're characters and am I forgetting the uncalled for death of Claude's girlfriend at the end of the game which you can hear while she's talking about future plans of the 2 of them in the credits and the how Lance Vance was forced to turn on Tommy even though he didn't want to in Vice City, I had a hard time with those as well.

Noire which are sad no matter what, John Mrston didn't deserve what he got, But the police would have tracked himdown and killed him or his family eventually, Cole on the other hand, Could have gotten out and lived, Literally, If he didn't argue with Jack on who would go up first he would have been fine...

Cociane became frequently used, A lot of returning vietnam vets with no jobs resorting to drug dealing and prostitution, and major cities like New York and Chicago nearly became bankrupt. Also you have to remember that in the 70's AIDS and HIV did not exist yet, so everyone was fucking each other.

Although, I was disappointed that you couldn't play as Kelso to roam the streets of LA. It felt weird to play as Cole roaming the streets when we all saw him die. Also, I just want to say, what's up with Peterson's voice? To me it sounds like something that was pre-recorded or taken from something else. Not saying it was, that's just what I thought it sounded like. Anyways, yes. Amazing game, amazing ending, and one of the best Rockstar games out there.

    This game really represents corruption that does happen not just in the US, but all around the world. It also symbolizes the emotional pain of the soldiers suffering from PTSD. Cole suffering from the fact that he always felt guilty about ordering Iwa to burn the cave full of innocent people, Iwa not being able to think straight after burning the cave, and the other soldiers as well in the game who blamed Cole and could never get over what happened in Japan. Back to what I was saying, while playing LA Noire, you do experience what it's like for soldiers to suffer from PSTD, and also that corruption does happen anytime anywhere

    My only issue with this ending is that it feels rather rushed. Frankly, the whole Arson desk felt sort of random once Kelso became the focus. It wasn't a good call to sideline Cole for the last few missions of the game, only to unceremoniously kill him off. If they wanted that death to have more impact, then we should have been following Cole right up to the end. It's unfortunate, too, because the setup for the Arson desk (where disgraced and demoted Cole is partnered with the standoffish veteran Biggs and still works to do the right thing in the face of corruption and scorn) was a really cool one.

  • @ythandlename

    Yeah but Cole was in the heat of passion. If it was a different broad, Cole would've knew it was a wrong move to hit up a chick when all the Vice drama was going on and a partner he should've never trusted. It was a "now or never" chance for him to know Elsa and he took the risk and blew it. He never learned his lesson until the very end where he choose to do something that would benefit someone other than himself. He was a real hero, a tragic hero.

    @SilverScreenAddicts 9 років тому +27

    What an amazing game. When I first played it, I didn't like the ending at all. Although I like it more now, Killing off the main character in a video game is not a smart move at all. If it were a TV show or a movie it would be one thing, but in a video game it's just a bad idea. I mean think about it, by doing that, you're basically taking away the players sense of accomplishment that he or she earned.
    Personally, I think the ending would have been much better if Biggs sacrificed his life to save Cole (after Cole saved Jack). I know it may sound odd, but let me explain my view on it. First, the most obvious reason is that Biggs was old. He had pretty much lived his life and didn't much more to live for (other than solving a few arson investigations) which automatically makes him a disposable character in my book, secondly, it seemed pretty clear that he was the most loyal of all the partners. Not that the other guys weren't loyal, but they weren't really put in the same position as Biggs. There were times he put his life and even his job at risk to help Cole, and he always stood by him and defended him when he needed it. And not to mention he was also a war vet like Cole. Therefore by putting himself at risk to save Cole, it would almost be like him saving a fellow marine, just like Cole saving Jack.
    I guarantee this ending would have worked, and it would have worked much better than the one they stuck with.
    I understand that killing off Cole was all part of the story, but again, don't kill off the main character you play as.

Like, if you chose the wrong options he geets more and more upset and eventually can go angry and burn everyone.

      ​@@godofwar234regi5 Here's what I learned about what was going on, what did Cole and Jack uncover. Cole reads that the houses burning down was not all about insurance extortion, it's extortion by eminent domain. So let me get this straight, the houses all built in the path of a freeway are absolutely nothing, the materials used to build those houses are bogus and the houses insured will have phony values. So when the Federal Government commences to build the future freeway they would have to rebuy those pieces of land and all of that money that the Federal Government gave when they buy that land will end up in the Suburban Redevelopment Fund's pockets including Leland Monroe, Fletcher Bowron, William Worrell, Donald Sandlers, Curtis Benson and Doctor Harlan Fontaine. For the guys who bought those houses they'd get their money back but unfortunately two families the Morellis and the Sawyers won't get their money back because they all died in the fire but for families like the Steffens they do and will be forced to sell their house. Who started the fires is Ira Hogeboom who was manipulated by Doctor Fontaine to burn the houses. Learning what we see here this violates codes of ethics in so many ways and if the Feds find out about this then there's a good chance a board of inquiry will be ordered by both the FBI and the President of the United States

Anyone else that says he was a piece of dog crap can build a time machine and go back in time and put yourself in his shoes.

    Y'know, I found Jack Kelso to be a lot more interesting than Phelps. I'd like a game from Rockstar where you play as a corporate investigator, seems a lot more intriguing than your run of the mill cop.
