L.A. Noire/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: The clunking piano music you are rewarded with for making a successful accusation, as well as the sound of your XP bar filling.

** The sound that plays when you've discovered all the clues on a scene.

* [[Narm]]: In the {{spoiler|second mission of the homicide desk}}, Cole finds that the murder victim left behind a preteen daughter. Once they located the daughter, they sit down, and over the course of a mere minute, they manage to tell her that her mother was murdered, just to immediately start with the questioning. The girl's reaction is more than questionable. Quite [[Narm]], that is. She has a deeply grieved and worried look on her face, and when she is told that her mother is actually dead, she ''immediately'' breaks down crying (without any for of, you know, ''digestion''). Cole then asks her to answer a few questions. She ''immediately'' ceases crying, and gives him a mildly disgruntled "Okay". She answers all questions with the mood and tone of an adult who wasn't too close to the victim, and not with the catatonic reaction of a 13-year old daughter. She at one point even states that Phelps is so rude to her although her mother had just died. Typically adult reaction. [[Angst What Angst|No kid could be ''so'' pragmatic after such a traumatic event]].

** Fail the DLC Traffic case, "A Slip Of The Tongue". It's worth it, just to see the normally cool Captain Leary ''scream'' "DA CHIEF'S GOT MY BALLS IN A FRYING PAN!" and kick a bucket at Cole as he and Bekowsky make themselves scarce.

*** The above [[Narm]] can be witnessed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnmkVLykLQ#t=04m03s here] in all its glory.

Line 51:

*** A trick that always worked well for me was to shoot the gunman in the leg to stumble him, then just finish him with a head or chest shot before he recovers.

** The Foot Chases are quite bad given that trim, fit Phelps is one of the slowest men in Los Angeles. In some instances, he will be outrun by men twice his age until a scripted event intervenes.

*** In terms of the gameplay, this is a result of the sprint function being revised; button mashing now only works when you're close enough to tackle a suspect. If you've played other Rockstar titles, though, you ''will'' find yourself being outdistanced at the beginning of a chase because [[Damn You Muscle Memory|said tackle button is located where the main sprint button was in GTA and Red Dead, while sprinting itself has been moved to a trigger.]]

**** And similarly, car chases: they're obviously scripted for the most part, witt chased cars accelerating unusually fast and turning so unnaturally as if they were pulled by an invisible string. This would be more believable if you were chasing sports cars, but some of the chases involve ''pickup trucks'', which are normally the some of the slowest vehicles in the game!

* [[Strangled By the Red String]]: Some fans don't take the lack of relation development between {{spoiler|Cole and Elsa}} well.
