Sleeping Dogs

why does Anon Babble love it so much ?

because it's on sale

Game was saved by the remaster.

Sleeping Nogs

because we fucking love jackie chan and jet li

It has cool undercover story with triad and kungfu and shit

It's a great game, mc is a good character, side characters are good, antagonist are good too.
story is good.
The city is good too, gameplay is meh but not really dead boring.
it tried to make it seems like you're in a actual living city within the limitations of the hardware from back then, nowadays it would be nothing great but back then it was amazing.

Because it's simply just good. A great GTA clone that's roots were in the True Crime series.

Dunno if it is just me but for some strange reason it runs like shit on proton
Constantly skips frames or just runs way too fast, even if you limit the frame rate down to 30fps

Because a large percentage of anons are Indonesians that worship the Chinese. That's it. Good game though.

The steam version has no cloud saves ( gog does ) so beware when reinstalling windows or using other PCs

I was never whole man before I had pork bun

A MAN WHO NEVER EATS PORKBUNS IS NEVER A WHOOOLE MAAAN

GTA clone

Given the point is to stop crime, I wouldn't really call it a GTA clone.

Because it's Assassin's Creed with cars

I only remember the scene where the fat mom chops up the guy that killed her son

There's no other word for the genre. We don't say open world because that would imply something that is not distinct.

Because it's a great game?
Cool combat, protagonist, story, setting, etc
I dunno what soulless company is responsible for it never getting a sequel, but I hope the execs in charge all get dysentery

sandbox crime simulator?

because it's a funny meme game with funny meme Chinese music

Mrs Chu went full Water Margin on his ass.

all the side missions rewarded you with actual upgrades like new combos. the clothes had reason because they give extra xp, extra damage, or more focus, and all the bonuses made sense (cop clothes gave more cop xp, kung fu clothes gave higher physical damage). also the driving just felt right, you have to try it to understand.

hong kong devs will never make a game like this because ccptrash censorship

Retard take.

Smart take.

Gay take

Alpha take

I got this game with my sister on steam and we were laughing for a straight half hour when we beat the tutorial and had to spend half an hour clicking through all of the DLC we got for free. It was the funniest shit I had ever seen in my entire life. Also the game was fun and environmental kills are cool, so I really enjoyed it.

I liked it. Hong Kong setting and Asian aesthetic. Differentiates from GTA by being more focused on melee-combat (with environmental bits!) and not guns or vehicular manslaughter.

Here's your main theme bro youtu.be/7iH8Qc9-gA8

It's playable Hard Boiled, what's not to like?
youtu.be/LjCRpRQr-bk

good story, good gameplay, good setting, simple as.

Serviceable GTA clone that stands out by prioritizing a more comprehensive melee system over firearms.

reddit take

HONG KONG
MOTHERFUCKING HONG KONG

Sigma take.

Anon Babble take

Kino chinkcore

It's basically GTA Hong Kong or Chinese Yakuza with the beat em up/action gameplay kind of, depending on how you look at it. For a lot of people, those are selling points.

replayed it not too long ago. seeing how all of the women Wei dates are shameless whores was really offputting. and not only that: all of the "good guys" are cucks, Ricky's GF is an actual whore, Jackie simps for a girl that doesnt even know he exists and Winston is a pussy-whipped mamma's boy. and ofcourse all the baguys put them into one form or other of sexual slavery.
then I remembered it's a game from the time they started vilifying sexy women so that people would want them to disappear from vidya alltogether (picrel being the quintessential example)

gameplay was pretty good, the combat system in particular is similar to the ones in the arkham games but you need to do particular imputs.
it's only major flaw is probably how unconnected the DLC missions feel (and how much of a cuck most guys are)

addendum: I wonder if the Chinese are willing to fund a sequel? it's one of the few western games that portrays them as heroes

Sleeping Dogs 2 would have picked up after the original game, once again following the previously exploits of (formerly undercover) officer Wei Shen. This time, Shen would be joined by a “conflicted, corrupt partner” named Henry Fang, as they explored China’s Pearl River Megacity, a noted economic hub—and, yes, a real place. The player would have the ability to arrest any NPC in the world, and influence a branching storyline that swapped between both Shen and Fang.

“An opening scene consists of Wei and Fang talking together, discussing what the next step of an investigation should be. Deciding to split up and follow different leads, Wei’s thread will follow him as he busts heads for information, while Fang plants evidence by breaking into a suspect’s house. Depending on the character selected, the audience (and characters) will only see one side of the story until both threads are played. This gives us ample opportunity to explore both characters fully, and gives the player the revelatory experience of discovering both sides of the story.”

instead of this, Square decided a MMO would be better, even though they'd be competing with WoW and themselves at the same time

decide halfway through actually that idea is retarded and scrap the whole thing

IP dead with everyone that worked on it gone or scattered to other studios

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY IS SQUARE RUN BY A BUNCH OF RETARDSSSSS

I dunno, i just traditionally classed all of these types of games together as GTA style games and i never had a good word term for it. Sandbox crime might be more appropriate. Maybe less so for some.

it has soul

I forgot to include this one on that list, woops.

Crackdown is TECHNICALLY crime, lore-wise

The three True Crime games were actually somewhat worthy competitors to GTA, sucks Activision just abandoned that franchise.

L.A. Noire isn't a sandbox game though? Its a linear who-dun-it detective game?

i like it cause i can understand some of the cantonese the npcs say. the combats pretty good despite it copying batman arkham's system. the only complaint that i have besides teh face value locking out the outfits till you already completed the game (dont know if they changed in remastered) is the gun combat is pretty basic. you can tell it was made consoles since aiming is super easy especially with the bullet time from leaping out of cover so headshots are instant wins.

Fuck are you on about the remaster slaps a bullshit fog all over the map

You weren't meant to get access to the guns or use the guns though unless you went rogue cop route which is the bad cop route.

it's one of the only good sandbox games ever made that was a gta clone thats somehow better than gta, wei shen is a great character, combat super fun, lively world with plenty to do but doesn't drag on, great aesthetic design, decent story, it's a great game dawg i recommend it

Some gooks don't speak for Anon Babble. They fucked up presenting Honk Kong somehow. Play Kane & Lynch 2 instead.

Pork buns memes and a twist to the GTA formula with the setting and approach between cop and thug duality. Also, great plot straight out SK police thrillers to a fair extent

Because a man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man

hopefully korea and china start making gta clones eventually, that'd be cool

I finished Sleeping Dogs and wanted a sequel.
I did not finish GTA V, and I'm not expecting much out of VI.
That's all I'm going to say.

Nor is Mafia, even less so 2. I just don't have a word for this if we're not using gta clone or ' gta-like' since the other anon is telling me it's wrong to say sleeping dogs is a clone of GTA if you're playing as a cop or has it's own unique mechanics. I traditionally grouped these games together if they had some of the elements. I'd prefer saying GTA clone as I've always been saying.

How come we never got Sleeping Dogs 2?
Honestly we should seriously get more crime games and not let Rockstar be the only ones making them. Like they don't need to be gigantic like GTA but medium sized like Sleeping Dogs is great.

cuz it's comfy as fuck

I'm so pissed didn't even know the second game was already being setup.

not sandbox

Cinematic Detective Game much like that Become Human game.

Honestly we should seriously get more crime games

Indie devs started making them. Well worth playing if you're not picky about what was considered lesser than Rockstar back in the day. But yeah I'd like to see something with a higher budget for sure.

How did Canadians make such a high-test game?

My Hong Kong fiancée hated it when I showed it to her, since not only the map retardedly inaccurate (even more jarring when I went there for the first time last year), but also due to how violent it is.

I 100%ed it for the second time last year.

And no, even though Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is based off of Hong Kong Island, there is no Peak, and no Ocean Park in the game, and real life doesn't have some random mile tall skyscraper sticking out in the middle of it (and skyscrapers and high rises aren't twice as tall as their neighbors).

The Getaway is pure kino. Really liked how it's more focused on "realism". Character dies after a few shots, no visible lock on indicators etc, no health bar, no ammo counter, even doing the slightest crime will have police chasing you.
If it was remade today it'd be a 10/10 game.

Canadians

Made a Chinese themed game

kind of accurate when you think about it

It was GTA: Hong Kong Edition, but in all the right ways taking full advantage of the fact it was set in the eastern side of the criminal underworld. Pity it never got a sequel.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE A PORK BUN

First the Canadians make Kino and now the French.

Because it came out when Anon Babble wasn't full of normalfags with shit taste.

Made by who? The Dev is long dead and just asking random people to make a GTA clone isn't going to end well

That game doesn't look too bad I'll check it out thanks

Made by who?

whoever they want, money speaks. same way they bring western designers to make their cars

Cinematic Detective Game much like that Become Human game.

What the fuck are you talking about? you're trying to correct me when the game is open world and has street crime cases, these are all optional so count as side mission activities. It's narrative driven but it is open at the at the same time. It's nothing like David Cage's games unless you count Omikron the Nomad Soul.

They like driving that one nigger around probably idk Im not touching this shit cuck game

Nigger take

White person take

GTA but with fun light arcade gameplay/physics instead of sluggish realism

It's fun. I should replay it.
