LA Noire was quite spectacular, unfortunately the fanbase was limited and people were disappointed that it "isn't like GTA" despite the fact that Rockstar was just the Publisher and not the Developer. I was looking forward to the idea of playing LA Noire 2 as I enjoyed the interrogations, puzzles, and gameplay. Cole Phelps was a hard character to get invested into but he did suffice as a good, though tragic, main character.

Rockstar has never really forced their humor, it has all been kind of perfect. Saints Row, to me, is an example of forced humor in their games. Rockstar has always had the touch of nuance, and witty irony involved in their games. GTA V nailed the cynical representation of our modern culture perfectly. A disconnected father who tries incessently to reach his kids to no avail was beautiful.

Growing up In the Long Beach-LA area I saw so many bands in the late 90s and early 2000s that were perfect. FEAR, The Germs (of course without Darby), Rollins Band, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. The Germs were the predecessors into what would, later become Hardcore Punk. I've always wondered why a shitty band like the Sex Pistols got attention but a band with a really quirky writer, and performer like Darby Crash would go ignored by mainstream culture. Darby was wicked talented. Sid Vicious to me is just an arrogant douchebag, and Johnny Lydon is a fucking hypocrite.
