I don't care, because I'm poor. On an unrelated note, as an autist and dope fiend, I approve of this video and of law and order. On an even more serious note, (a) thanks for reminding me that I need to go back to this game and that it's somehow still the most impressive facial tech (need to stop at that before I get miffed at the state of the industry), and (b) never delete YTP, cos it's a piece of internet history, a history of crap but history nonetheless.

Nah mate, "They was working on the tires. That's all that was took!"

And the Bruh edit caught me off guard so badly 😂

Let's not forget the detectives from each department. Bekowsky and Rusty are so amazing that they're still embedded in my memory over a decade later. So many of the characters in this game are just excellent.

@@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation Each desk has a really good supporting cast due to the detectives at the helm. Rusty was my personal favorite, mainly because how much he clashed with Phelps in his policing style.

He's also literally me

To be fair the atmosphere was probably at its strongest in Homicide, outside of Arson. There's still a lot of theories to this day about the Dahlia murder especially.

thank you, comrade

Funnily enough you can meet the killer early in a Marriage Made in Heaven by finding the bloody knife and returning to the bar during the day

@@12LoLproductions you meet him at the beginning of the desk at the bar enquiring about Celine.

Yeah I remember playing through that the first time and not realising what the fuck actually happened. Was so strange lmao

It was nice to be introduced to his wife and his divorce in the same cutscene.

@@shawnconway9957 You can actually see her in the game's intro cutscene when Cole leaves his house, but it doesn't actually highlight the fact that it's them. This is essentially the largest role Cole's wife has in the game prior to the divorce plotline.

At that point I was like "Cole has a wife?" lol

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. It feels like Phelps was betrayed by the need for a plot twist

You love young boys, Valdez?

THIS WILL CAUSE AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT

I hear you. I never forgot about it but also regrettably never finished it. I was also a bit too young (early twenties so still underdeveloped) when I first played it, but especially with the way the industry and medium has progressed since then (it hasn't in any real or positive way), I only appreciate quality products and standout oddball works more now. You're damn right it's unique and almost in its own genre. I'm aware of Sherlock adventure games with detectives as well as detective work, but nothing that's in the vein of Rockstar and yet isn't Rockstar. Oh, and just like with New Vegas, the devs worked with what they had to turn out something amazing only to seemingly be screwed over hard by the bigger company. Real champs and a real shame.

i definitely miss old mid-late rockstar. bully, LA Noire and GTA 4 are all very comfy even if i prefer san andreas. andreas is comfy more cause of the nostalgia and jank.

Breaking and entering with fully automatic weapons is generally considered pretty illegal, yeah, weirdly enough.

@@TheBigBlackJoshi considering all the 'mildly' illegal stuff you've been doing as Phelps. That one mansion raid is the kicker for me. I don't know why.

imagine trying to get a nice highway built and a bunch of Okinawa marines show up at your mansion at night and start killing everyone and then leave.

Agree

id say your 85% correct. We dont get whole single player that have 100s of hours compared to the rush unfished games of today.

1. i think mandaloregaming and setthtzenatzh (i fuckin butchered the names) and few others gave start to this ttrend. 2. i remember many older gamers talking shit about some of the old games being praised right now. either the older gamers had influenced the way modern games were created or the fucking reporters and game snobs had their poison from those early days.

Your comment is actually hilarious considering the fact that LA NOIR wasn't a hit it was so big of a flaw to the point that the studio that was developing it got shut down right after it's release 😅

No, we were thinking exactly the same 15 years ago. Read what people wrote about video games in the late 00' or early 10', many people found the latest releases were really low in quality compared to what existed a decade ago. Welcome into the world of "it was better before". In 15 years, people will still say it about today.

Lol :D @@stillwaiting6037

So, I actually really love that part of the game and find it totally realistic. Here's a little essay I've written for you: A family member of mine was a detective, and he had a very similar experience. He was working a murder case, and the person they were looking to charge had a ton of very damming evidence against him. His bosses wanted to charge a group of suspects who really had nothing on them. The optics of shutting down an imagined human trafficking ring responsible for a murder would've looked a lot sexier than just bringing in a lone suspect. My family member persisted with trying to prove his case for that charge, so he was removed from the investigation and had any hopes of career advancement pretty much destroyed for doing so. His bosses continued pursuing this group, had them charged and tried with the flimsy evidence they'd come up with, and it was thrown out of court. 18 years later, the suspect my family member had tried to charge is now on trial for a whole slew of crimes, including that murder. Many of them were committed long after the murder my family member was investigating. It's too little too late for my family member, though. He retired on quite a shitty salary, and his mental health and relationships with the family are in tatters because of it. That little section of the game really kind of hit home for me. The way that you're put into a position where you have to adhere to your Captain's feelings about that suspect - which are totally understandable in that instance, don't get me wrong - or risk disciplinary action really shines a light on how politics, beliefs, emotions or egos all still come into play in law enforcement institutions. It can be as cutthroat and bullshit as any other business, these people aren't usually rewarded for doing their job if it conflicts with the interests of their superiors. However, during the first cutscene of the next case they actually reference the previous one. No matter who you charged with that murder, the Captain acts as if you charged the suspect that he didn't want you to charge. I think an ironic remark is made about him being happy with the result, and he leans over the table they're sitting at and furiously says "Over the moon, boys!" or something to that effect. That bugged me, because there clearly should've been a version of this cutscene where he was genuinely happy about the outcome of the previous case if the player had charged the guy that he wanted you to. Also, the stupid Black Dahlia case at the end really just kind of ruins this whole thing in order to make a very similar observation about police work in a more grandiose, yet dumber way. I wasn't a big fan of that, but I suppose perhaps the devs might've thought most people wouldn't have picked up on the more subtle version of it that we're talking about. I should point out though, considering how bad the conditions at Team Bondi were during the game's development, I'm not surprised to see these kinds of missteps. It's probably a miracle that we even got the game that we did.

i had exactly the same complaint, you also got a bad case grade if you arrested the husband. in my mind it seemed very idiotic and left me a bad taste in my mouth that they "forced" you in such a way to arrest the weirdo

​@OstrichNipples I'm on vacation so I apologize if my response is too short- but I'd like to express my condolences for the bs your father went through. While I still hate this part- I think you've changed my opinion in that I'm now hating it purely for your captain being a two faced piece of crap

​@@OstrichNipplesThe story about your relative is downright heartbreaking. I am glad though that the game was able to give you a bit of catharsis with regards to this senseless tragedy. Can I ask what part of the country this was in?

@DerKurator I appreciate the kind words. So this isn't in the US, and a lot of this won't be public until the end of the year/early next year. Depending on the outcome and how I end up feeling about sharing specifics, I may throw a link somewhere here when it's all over. That comment took a lot of editing and rethinking just because it's all being dragged up again at the present moment after years. Honestly, I just wanted to speak about it because a part of the game I thought was really interesting was being criticised. Hell, when I first played the game, I thought it was stupid too. I didn't know anything about the things I've shared here when I first played the game. It's only looking back to that level after learning about and dealing with the fallout of what happened that I've started to appreciate it. Funny thing is, maybe I've totally missed the mark regarding what the developers were trying to portray in that level, I could be totally projecting for all I know.

I'm preaty sure the boss is a scot
