Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[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
* [[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.
** On the flip side, finding out about {{spoiler|Cole and Elsa's affair}} can be a potential base breaker, either showing the former's still human or being the point he becomes unlikable.
Line 21:
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: It is full of glitches and weirdness. Just see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BaxwvBBs48 this video.]
** [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
* [[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.
Line 53:
*** 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
* [[Squick]]: In abundance throughout the game, such as the Homicide cases, which heavily mimic the gruesome real life Black Dahlia murders, but especially {{spoiler|during the Arson case 'A Walk in Elysian Fields' when Mr. Morelli's severely burnt corpse breaks apart. It even freaks out WWI vet Herschel Biggs.}}
* [[Tear Jerker]]: [[LA Noire
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: {{spoiler|Doctor Fontaine}} seems to be able to induce this in his patients. {{spoiler|Courtney}} accepting his (transparently shady) deal is possibly justified by his desperation and trust for his therapist, but what the hell did {{spoiler|Elsa}} think she was doing!? She knows the man's involved in the conspiracy, and goes to confront him, alone, on his home territory, without telling anyone where she's gone, without a weapon, and she turns her back on him ''after'' telling him that she knows he's involved in getting people killed.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: The new motion capture technology used in this game is put to good use in cutscenes. The detailed facial expressions can make you think you're watching a Live Action movie rather than playing a game.
