Great guy, a little soft on the negro in my opinion

he's not bad. the other guy would've made a better noir protagonist

Your story sucks Cole

Kelso was better.

Kelso had no ambition.

You're full of shit, Jacob.

Should of kept his dick out of that Jerry whore, but everyone has a vice. Decent character.

I LIKE YOUR ASS

His game is optimized like shit and is practically unplayable on my within-specs toaster

pretty cool guy, solves crimes and stuff

It has a 30 FPS cap. You are aware of this right?

It can be subverted

YOU'RE LYING MORGAN

Good guy, if unlikeable, in a pretty good game. People don't often realise that the story isn't told from Cole's point-of-view; in fact, it's told from the POV of almost everyone except Cole. We never see him (in the story) except for when he's with other people, and never find out how he thinks on non-work issues. You don't understand why he cheated on his wife? You don't know if his marriage was doing poorly and that caused it, or if he's just a degenerate and Elsa was really hot? Neither do his LAPD partners, and that's the point. You only see what they see of Cole. Further, you only see his visits to the Blue Room when Earle is there. Even when he's cohabiting with Elsa, you only see what his home life is like when Kelso staggers into Elsa's apartment after getting shot.

This is why Kelso is more likeable -- even in the brief time you play as him you get a better feel of his real personality (since you see him deal with things by himself), unlike Cole -- of whom you only see his spergy casework side.

...aaand I still fucked up the spoilering. Shit.

A good, but flawed, protagonist, which makes him much better and more relatable than the ideal hero Kelso.

Kelso has a ring of Gary Stu to him, I agree, but I think his flaw is that he's a sucker for women. He talks tough to Elsa about not justing helping her because she flutters her eyes at him, but he goes very far out of his way for her straight after. If he had his own game, I'm sure that tendency would come back to bite him on the ass.

Kelso's voice was strangely lispy and the actor wasn't able to do aggression like Phelps'. For these reasons alone Phelps is superior. Say what you will about Phelps flying off the handle but basically the most enjoyable part of the game is him getting really animated.

It has that cap for a reason, what they did with acting is still amazing to this day, they had to lock it to 30 because otherwise, it would screw up the facial animations

>watches the video
>makes me want immediatly play the game again

Goddamit, the voice acting in this game is just beautiful, brings tear into my eye. Why the fyck theres no L.A noire 2 :'(

Kelso being a flawless character is a big part of why I don't like him, but here's another:
> Cole tries to investigate Suburban Redevelopment Fund like a detective, fails.
> Kelso does the same, solves the entire case in two minutes, then turns into a generic action and shoots everyone in the face, fries some people with a flamethrower and saves the girl in the end.
Kelso just felt so out of place.

>Why the fyck theres no L.A noire 2 :'(
Because Team Bondi is kill

fuck you all now i'm reinstalling

i love this game but the nyseries could've used more work and the open world meme is bad even though this is a rockstar game

Looking back, the faces in this game look like they're made of plastic. They're all stiff.

2011, user. When it was released, I've thought it was revolutionary.

Half-Life 2 had better facial animations
