The game is very shallow
Open world is amazingly useless in every way except for the looks
Story feels disjointed but that's fine, it's a detective story after all
But the ending is crap
Feels unfinished

No replay ability other than just going crazy with the interrogations.

Nothing. It was a great game and open world is a meme. Could maybe have done with one more desk.
The ending reminded me a lot of True Detective season 1, where its loose ended because the problems that are really pulling the strings on the case are so deeply rooted and expansive throughout the time and place in their society that there's literally nothing a single detective or two could ever hope to do about it except for their best, which is just putting away the odd individual culprit but not bringing the whole thing to a stop.
Cole was legitimately a morally grey character because whilst he was a good cop he was a horrible soldier and a hypocrite at that. They set him up as a one dimensional good guy straight man cop in a crooked department but he himself is all twisted up inside in his own weird, inexplicable quiet greatest generation way.

It was good, arguably groundbreaking when it came out.

Very few games depict post war LA. I loved the attention to details, the furnitures, the depiction of various socio demographics ... it is completely an adult game, you need to be mature to appreciate it maybe.

Cole was not a horrible soldier. He was arrogant and he made mistakes but that carried over to being a cop. He never considers himself a great soldier in the game. He's constantly downplaying it because he knows he was nothing special. The thing about Cole was not that he was "morally grey", it's that he's full of shit. All his self righteous posturing is just that and nothing more. The thing that illustrated this was not his soldier past, it was his affair.

I agree. There's a repressed emotion/stoic complexity to a lot of the characters and story that really reflects people IRL of that generation and their approach to things and themselves. I played it when it first came out when I was younger and I didn't really enjoy it at all, but I gave it another shot last year and it really gelled with me.

the Project Lead was a fucking rude nigger and after 5 years in development Rockstar literally had to send 2 Producers from their british studios to finish the fucking game

No. A mature person would see how poorly executed it all is and would have probably seen the movies it's ripping off and knows what a poor imitation it is. LA Noire is for kids who want to pretend they are adults.
