Don't be alarmed. You are probably not suffering from an autism-spectrum disorder.
Concentrate on the face, particularly the eyes. If the eyes are moving around, face shifting- it's most likely doubt UNLESS you have a clue that directly contradicts what they said If they are looking straight at you (no real movement going on with the face or eyes) or are looking worried for genuine reason (you told the neighbor lady the woman next door was murdered) it's probably truth. Whatever their face looks like, if what they say contradicts a clue you have (select to see the list, read the descriptions too), it's a lie. Remember people can lie while looking you straight in the face and not flinching.
@CenturionCajun: I didn't like Cole all that much either, but then again he reminded me of myself (in a bad way). The game's more of a modern 'adventure' genre in my opinion than a shooter. I would think there are people in Japan who are fascinated with detectives and LA and all that.
@CenturionCajun: Well I didn't use the word 'insulted' as I don't think they would be- just uniquely affected by the story twist I guess. What is "their style" supposed to be, anyway? Also I'm not trying to be sympathetic toward the Japanese during WWII.
@Make_Me_Mad: Yeah, I think that he spends his whole life after that running away from it but only confronts at the very end where he makes Kelso go up before him by deciding to die.
I wonder if more Japanese players than non will end up not liking Cole after the reveal though.
L.A. Noire comes out in late July in Japan. I wonder if the reveal of Cole's fatal sin during the war will have a somewhat greater impact to Japanese players of the game.
I raged pretty hard when Team Bondi pulled a Read Dead Ending (playing as >>JACK<< Kelso too! hah) but now that I had some time to reflect upon it, I don't think it was so bad. There seemed to be a sort of Godly force involved with how things turned out in the end (is that a trope of Noir films? I don't know) , even if in my opinion Cole didn't deserve to die.
Overall I think the Japanese audience (the kind that are open to Western games , who enjoyed Red Dead and GTA) will really like this one.
