Re: Sleeping Dogs
Just finished the PC version and really, really enjoyed it. It's going to be really hard to go back to other open-world games that don't have hand to hand combat as good as this one. Neat story and some really good voice acting I thought.
I really hope they make a next-gen sequel - would love to see it in mainland China, they could do part of the game in a city and part in rural areas.

Re: Sleeping Dogs
Finished it tonight as well. Great experience from beginning to end. Wonderful use of set pieces to create a dynamic feel for the story missions.
Would very much love to play a sequel where they tighten up the writing a bit and maybe add a bit more interactivity to the open world.
Big thumbs up from me.

Man, I don't know how you guys get so much time to play games and still stay married. I haven't found that balance yet. Hmmm.
Re: Sleeping Dogs
I've been playing this when I can and am really enjoying it as well. I have no idea how far along I am but I suspect I may be nearing the halfway mark...

Re: Sleeping Dogs
I am 50% thru with 20 hours playtime. Already got my money's worth out of this one - now got to try to complete before borderlands2 comes out. Will have to cut down on my time spent fighting for cash and hijacking armored trucks.

I know I mentioned it before but if you get the free high-res texture pack this game on the PC looks absolutely incredible - a screenshot I took;

Looks even better in motion and you don't need to have a killer PC either.

Re: Sleeping Dogs
Yeah, finally a decent console game port where the developers actually support the game and give the PC the visual enhancements it deserves.
Re: Sleeping Dogs
Really late to this one but the 360 freebie today got me on it.
I could almost smell the tea and the food....Great atmosphere!
The hand to hand combat makes GTA V feel just stupid in that department. Unleashed my inner Bruce Lee for 5-6 hours.
Better late than never....

Agreed. Such a fun game. Some awesome brutal cut-scenes too...no pun intended. Ok, maybe slightly intentional.

Re: Sleeping Dogs
The complete edition of this game is $7.50 this week for Xbox Live Gold members. GREAT deal for the seven people who didn't play it, like me.
