* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: {{spoiler|It's hard not to feel sorry for Ira and Courtney at the end.}}
* [[Awesome Music]]: Has it's [[LA Noire (Video Game)/Awesome Music|own page]].
* [[Base Breaker]]: Kelso. {{spoiler|Everyone falls into one of two camps: either he's a total badass who was a better protagonist and more fun to play than Cole, or he's [[The Scrappy]] who derailed the last few cases of the game due to being a [[Marty Stu]] action hero in a Noir setting.}} There are no exceptions.
Line 22:
** [http://youtu.be/O0DC5Fiz0-A More fun glitches].
* [[Hype Backlash]]: The initial previews and reviews for the game seemed to indicate it would be a solid contender for Game of the Year on several websites, but increasing complaints by players about the somewhat underdeveloped {{spoiler|[[Strangled By the Red String|romance between Cole and Elsa]]}}, the sudden switch to {{spoiler|[[And Now for Someone Completely Different|Jack Kelso as the player character in the endgame]]}}, and the recent revelation that almost all of the upcoming DLC is actually [[Dummied Out|cut content]] may undercut this prediction a fair bit.
* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: Some have argued that the gunplay being overly simplified (compared to GTA and Red Dead Redemption) makes the shoot out scenes either this, or frustratingly unpolished. It gets really noticeable near the end of the game when [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|things start going crazy.]]
* [[Idiot Plot]]: The Homicide desk. Hoo boy. {{spoiler|About half a dozen women all found dead in the ''exact'' same unusual circumstances, some with messages clearly meant to taunt the police, and it isn't until the penultimate case that anyone seriously entertains the idea that there's a serial killer.}} It's ''somewhat'' justified by Captain Donnelly being a borderline [[Knight Templar]] obsessed with delivering swift retribution, but it's still jarring.
** However, Phelps does uncover more than enough evidence to charge the suspects, and even though he's wary of how convenient it all seems, he doesn't have the proof to say otherwise.
Line 66:
** It can also terrify if you figure out the trick - mainly that they can only animate one face in a shot. It's painfully obvious with the camera angles, only one person talking at a time and the numb expression of your partner doing an interrogation.
** You can view all of its glory [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-27-whos-who-in-l-a-noire-article here].
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Ira Hogeboom}}
