I also have been Cole Phelps because i was having an affair with my friend's Foster sister name Natasha who is twenty two years old and I'm twenty years old.
I don't know what to say…Cole-Elsa affair, pissed me and Cole's death pissed me more. But, at last, I realise they're somehow made for each other. I stop play the game on Nicholson Electroplanting case and I have no guts to continue to the last case. God, Cole's death mentally hurts me. I will restart the game and play it all over again to see Cole's heyday.
Roy is full of bullshit I want to throw him to the Nicholson explosion so bad. If it was Bekowsky who spoke, it will be a little relief after the hard time we got after Phelps is gone. Bekowsky is the best partner. Rockstar hit me like a truck.
Say what you want about Cole but almost everyone in the game except for Bekowsky and Kelso are even worse and Cole realizes his flaws and now fights for the right reasons.
Why Cole cheated on his wife Marie with Elsa? I'll expose why: -After returning from WW2, Cole was a very traumatized person, haunted by the murky things he did during the war. As such, he couldn't open up and relate to Marie in that regard due to the fact that she had a more idealistic outlook in life, thus burying himself in his work as a policeman, exposing himself to more trauma. -In the Blue Room, he meets Elsa. Elsa, like Cole, is also a traumatized person due to WW2, because her parents were killed by the Nazis and was forced, along with her friend Lou Buchwalter to stay on a holding camp on the USA. Also, it is implied that she was raped in the past, judging by her comment about her friend Lou: "He was the only man who ever loved me without putting his hands on me." Due to said events and Lou's death, she became a morphine addict. -Taking into account this, its easy to see why they would feel attracted to each other: Both Cole and Elsa are damaged souls, scarred by tragedy and trauma, helping to heal the other, with Elsa kicking out her addiction and Cole seeing things from a more human perspective. (Note: What Cole did to his wife is totally and completely inexcusable and unjustifiable.)
I don't think anyone's talked about this, but I find it kinda funny that in the cutscene where Phelps is suspended, the DA isn't there. What's funnier is that, replacing his dialogue is this long, awkward silence.
The Cole and Elsa affair really feels rushed. You can feel that there is a reason for them to be together but the game gives you zero context to actually explain this, not to mention cheating is not a very good thing. It seems that the only reason for them having an affair was to made up a weak point for Cole in order to made him arson for story's sake. To be honest the relationship between Jack and Elsa are more like an actual opening of an affair in a classical noire movie, that an investigator fell in love with his client and tried to protect her from danger.
But none the less L.A.Noire had one of the best story in the game industry while the whole affair is just a little flaw.
8:07, my favorite line in the game from Cole. He either realizes how naïve he sounds halfway through saying that, or he doesn't actually believe what he's saying in the first place. But he's been through hell and back so I know that at least as a detective, he tries to live by those words.
Phelps: "Blondes I guess" (for which hair colour he likes best) Also Phelps: Marries a brunette Also also Phelps: Cheats on that brunette with another brunette.
Thank you I really like their chemistry 😀
6:59 i always say my line white man supplies. Black man dies. 6:60
Roy broke the bro code.
29:57 I've been just like Kelso once upon a time

Cole mightve cheated on his wife, but damn Roy that shithead only did it for his own benefit

Roy was such an asshole. He simply just ratted cole out. Just like that. 🙁
I know that cheating on your wife is wrong and scandalous and all, but you don’t just betray your friend like that.
It soured the relationship between the two, and tbh it pretty much showed how much of an asshole and crooked cop Earle pretty much was.
And so he deserves a punch in the face >:(
What did Elsa call Roy?
He should've listened to Roy cuz he says "don't do anything I wouldn't do,partner" meaning don't go to Elsa,but he refused
There could have been a way better nickname for Elsa then "princess" it's just cheesy and creepy at the same time.
34:42 it sounds just like his laugh….you rat! YOU RAT!

I hated Roy so much but Cole should’ve kept it in his pants. This was his mistake.

you are the best at putting this shit in movie format!!!
That was like a mod on pc
12:17 You cannot convince me Roy isn't snorting that cig from that angle
Cole was a wimp at the start, letting Roy do that to her.
I liked playing as Jack Kelso even more than Cole. It gave more of a PI detective feel. And he was more relatable.
Damn it was like a death sentence when u cheated in the 1940’s

I don’t think I’ve ever played LA noire without black and white on.
Played and platinumed this game on PS3 in 2011 and again on PS4 in 2018, watching this makes me want to play it a third time
I like and understand the idea of this duo but the execution on behalf of the writing of their story left a lot to be desired
