this. If you've collected evidence that contradicts what they're saying choose lie. If you know they're lying but cant prove it choose doubt.

Cant wait to ge off work to play. GF will be gone all week, so I should be able to run thru this bitch pretty quick

Small Spoiler about first traffic case











On some occasions I have real trouble connecting the lie with the evidence. For example in the first traffic case I was interviewing Margaret Black, she was truthful on the first five questions. However, she lied about the picture of her husband...the proof? There was a note by his mistress written on the back of the photo once you take it out the frame. How does that prove she was lying? You'd have to know that she was aware of the back of the photo. It is silly.

"Hey Mrs. Black what can you tell me about the photo of your husband in his room?"

"Not much."

"You're a liar, because there is a secret note from his mistress on the back of the photo!"

There is no connection.


There are other similar situations. I may be over thinking things, but doubt and lie are rather tricky at times.

I know exactly what you mean. The accusations and the proof of those accusation is disconnected. I thought the exact same thing when I did that case.

Because I noticed that, I wasn't sure if selecting lie and the note behind the picture as evidence was going to work, because she may not know about the note. So it threw me off.

I think this is right. I'm getting better at figuring them out

there does seem to be a disconnect sometimes

I think (hope) y'all are just overthinking things. Of course, w/ my shoddy detective work I never came across these issues

The motion capture technology they used for facial expressions is state of the art & really captures the essence of interrogation.

As the game progresses I assume determining lies will become more difficult. Right now if they touch their face or don't make eye contact it's pretty obvious they are lying. When you get to later missions it'll be tougher to determine lies and you'll need to look for less obvious tells.

Yeah, the facial recognition tech is really impressive. I found myself at one point staring at the detail of it and realized that I wasn't paying attention to what they were actually saying

Well its obviously a big (but great) change of scenery from the FPS multiplayer shooters.

It really challenges you mentally with the interrogation/interview process because it is up to you to figure out who done it based on the evidence that you collect for each case and the ridiculously lifelike facial animations that they used for each character.

The story so far has been compelling and the atmosphere is fantastic. They nailed the 40's decade. Especially when it comes to cars, music, clothes, and Noire-esque cinematic feel.

And when you aren't working on cases you are free to roam the city finding various landmarks, film reels and cars all as collectables if you are a completionist like me.

The story line alone is quite lengthy and if you add the time it takes to find everything else you are looking at a game well worth the $60 price tag.

So if you are looking for a game to play on during the weekend I don't think you could go wrong. To me, nothing is better than popping a huge dip in while vegging out to this great single player experience.
