Sleeping Dogs

If as much effort goes in to the game as the trailer it should be pretty good:

Re: Sleeping Dogs

This any good? My not-so-inner nerd is drawn to a game that sounds like a Donnie Yen movie. Also excited about a PC version that takes advantage of DX11 and has a hi-res texture pack. But reviews say the combat's a little easy and the camera is rubbish. Maybe it's better to wait for a bit until there's a patch.

Re: Sleeping Dogs

Got the PC version, played about an hour and it's really fun so far. Combat isn't bad, it tries to be like Arkham City but isn't as fluid. It's still a lot of fun though. You can grab dudes and use the enviroment for some pretty awesome kills. If you get the PC version make sure you get the hi-res texture pack, the game looks amazing at max settings. Also use a controller because I've heard that keyboard and mouse controls aren't great. Easy buy in my opinion. I love open world games and so far I already like this more than SR3. With that said I also liked SR2 more than SR3.

Re: Sleeping Dogs

I started playing the PS3 version yesterday and the camera can get pretty annoying while driving but other than that I really like it so far. I like the upgrade system and the environmental kills are awesome.

Game looks intriguing.

Re: Sleeping Dogs

Bit of a GTA'ish vibe it looks like? Is that the case? Cause I've been considering getting this.

Controller. I hate playing driving/melee games with a kb/m and this has both of those.

There is no multiplayer. Just leaderboards.

Yeah it's an open world game. Very detailed world, as close to GTA 4 in terms of quality that I've seen.

I'm using a controller as I feel that 3rd person action games are easier to play with one. The analogue stick allows for better 360 degree movement.

Re: Sleeping Dogs

This looks like a Saints Row/Shenmue kinda of mix.

I wonder why they don't set more games like this in Asia. Shenmue is the only game I can think of that was in Asia with Asian characters and it was the ****.

I'm drawn to this/

Yeah this game is confirmed awesome. Anyone beat it or know if there's new game plus or anything? I was 50% through the main story last time I looked and that was a while ago.
