L.A. Noire - The Detective Game We Deserve, but not the one We Need Right Now

L.A. Noire FUCKED ME UP the first time I played it. There was one case I spent literally two hours deciding who I thought was guilty. I literally got up, had a drink, sat and stared at the decision screen, had a borderline breakdown over it. I got it wrong. I felt like shit for a week. One of my best game experiences ever.

I love that in the homicide desk you are clearly making the wrong choices by charging the suspects you have, because it makes you do it anyway. Sometimes the police do just get it wrong and it was fantastic to see that portrayed

You, sir, deserve waaaaaay more subs.

Man I miss L.A. Noire, wish they made a second one.

Honestly I like the fact that you can't see how many bullets you have left in your firearms because it makes the shootouts more realistic like you actually have to count how many bullets you got left in your .45 caliber

You have an absolutely captivating talent for critical analysis. I have never played L.A. Noire and I don't plan to anytime soon and yet I watched this entire vid and enjoyed it immensely. I know you mentioned that you are retired from content creation at the moment but dear god man please don't walk away from it for good. Admittedly the modern gaming landscape is usually bereft of anything worth mentioning but I'd wager your expertise and singular ability for exposition could be applied to anything. Books, movies, TV series, hell I am convinced you could do a deep dive on fabric softener and make it uniquely interesting. I know you can't just create content if you aren't inspired or desire to but I truly hope to see your take on something again whatever it may be. Thank you sir.

You seem to forget one thing - Phelps’ story need to be a noir story. When I first played the game I was one of those who set it aside after a few hours of gameplay - the reason was it didn’t FEEL noir. If all the cases before the demotion were to be noir they should have told from one of the suspected’s point of view. But with Phelps’ demise - not to mention death - it CERTAINLY became noir. So noir I almost regret that I did not play the game in black and white. Generally it is destructive for a player to be informed of the ending - but it was watching another L.A. Noire Youtube video I learned that later in the game there CERTAINLY was a noir premise for Phelps

Hey dude I just want to say I recently found you're channel and it's great! Keep at it an I know that you'll get big!

You should try Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments if you want good investigation mechanics.

Man you deserve more credit. Imma start closely following you. I got hooked on your videos -just bought Mafia III to play it before watching your video on it. You're pretty good.

I couldn't resist liking the video for including Twin Peaks music.

Such great video, this men deserve more on this platform !

Why is this channel so underrated?? And sir I would love to hear your movie analysis as well

This game is the prime example of what I call a messy video game masterpiece

I kind of disagree with you on the Serial killer setup. I feel by having you feel that you are missing something when solving these murders, it does two things. 1). It serves the greater plot by giving you more of a wiff of the LAPDs corruption that Vice starts to make explicit. And 2) Brings some more reality of how this rush to convict someone to get "justice"/ get good press did and still does lead to alot of innocent people getting convicted of things they didn't do!

Might be the best video i've seen of L.A Noire. You got a new sub.

this channel is underrated

playing the game without cues is much better, the game is at it's best when you're making the connections and not being hand holded

Hope to see you back. This channel is quite impressive an inspiring to a new content creator.

I liked this game way more than I thought I would, it's a very unique experience.
