Sleeping Dogs |OT| not releasing this would have been a True Crime
- Thread starter MRORANGE
- Start date
Um, yeah? In sleeping Dogs turning and moving in different directions feels like you're steering Wei, pushing forward on a stick to get him to jog you'll feel a delay and the motions feel really weighty and not flexible or light. Are you saying that there wasn't weight with movement or did you not notice this?
I didn't say it felt exactly like IV, it has a similar feeling to it. Sprinting in Sleeping Dogs was very bad compared to sprinting in IV though, Wei moves like a shopping cart when he sprints.

Too soon for LTTP. Great game.
I was thinking the same. It's still sold at full price, if I'm not mistaken.
Not that it has anything to do with the release date, as Nintendo games usually don't get cheaper, but on the other consoles, and specially PC, prices go down really fast.

LTTP?
I can't believe this. The game just launched, so why you Don't post your impressions at the game OT?
I had notice some unnecesary or just plain stupid use of the LTTP threads lately, but this is too much.

goty, looks stunning on pc, pretty hyped for the horror-dlc
I enjoyed the game, but I don't understand people saying it looks stunning. I played it maxed out on PC and thought it looked lacklustre at best.
Really not a problem, dude. Mods will roll it into the OT if it's deemed necessary.
Worst version visually but it's still great.

Great game, finished it recently, but can't get it out of my head. Despite some flaws and dull side missions, the game had a great vibe and HK is an awesome environment to play a game
You're mad over someone that made a thread like this? There isn't a rule of thread making, if someone wants to have a discussion, let them have a discussion.

Don't bother playing it now, you're late.

I played it this last week. Amazing atmosphere, fun combat, but it still feels B tier to me compared to Saints Row 2 or Red Dead.
I say 6 months from release date.
Me too.
I think GAF should limit this. 1 year seems ok for LTTP. Not everyone gets the game at launch, so even after 6 months of release isn't "LTTP" yet.
1 year is my say.
EDIT: And come on, every GAFer knows about the OT's. Just look them up. To use 'LTTP' on the title you are very aware of the existence of the official thread.
It genuinely does. The HD textures pack also makes a significant difference.

Oh, my bad everyone. I asked a mod to move my post into the OT.
I didn't see any rules in regards to LTTP threads, but I thought two months after release would be alright.

I'm glad you brought up the Nolan North comparison, because there were many times throughout the game where I saw an uncanny resemblance to Nathan Drake.

Said this in the OT, but the amount of detail is amazing. Just got 100%, and I'm still seeing new things in the city. Stuff like ambulance crews trying to revive civilians, shitloads of different NPC actions in places like clubs and such (like one fat guy with a group of girls singing karaoke). I hope GTA V is as good as this in that regard.
Also, I only just found out that you can run up a wall and do a rebound kick. Oh, and finding out about 20 hours in that you can throw melee weapons, and roll when landing from a large jump made me facepalm.

I got to agree here.
Also, I thought LTTP were for those like halfway-finished with a game. Seems weird when LTTP threads are made where people just barely started it.

Nope, forever tarnished poster. I might start using my ignore list, just for you.
It's cool to be all excited about playing a new game, but as you say, go post in the OT. If nothing else, it means that when a genuine LTTP comes round, it gets met with derision because it's been done recently.
Edit: good to see you back Dennis. I know you've been back a while, but hey.
When you move the camera to the right place it can look pretty amazing. e.g Get the camera close up to the character at night time when it's raining and make the camera look up at the city lights, buildings and all that detail while he walks. Looks pretty.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Racing pack and cop outfit pack DLC are up on Steam. Former is $3.99, latter $1.99. I thought the cop thing would add in some busts but apparently it's just an overpowered suit and machine gun. Races seem neat but eh. Three races for four bucks? I love this game, but I think I'll wait. Prices are small, but I don't really think they are relative to the content you get. I would like more content but grabbing lots of DLC adds up, and suddenly you realise you've spent way more money than the content is probably worth. I've been down that road too many times with the Mass Effect series.
Very, very keen for the zombie DLC. Might grab the racing one around then so I have more content to play in bulk.

Daylight stuttering issue fix??
Bummer, thought we would get more busts or even cop missions...

Just so you know, it’s not actually zombies in the Nightmare in North Point DLC pack for Sleeping Dogs – it’s Jiang-Shi and Yaoguai; two traditional Chinese demons/monsters of folklore that bear only a surface-level similarity to the vampires and zombies found in Western mythology.
In the same way that Sleeping Dogs main story was a love-letter to Hong Kong action cinema, so Nightmare in North Point is a homage to Hong Kong horror movies like the 'Mr. Vampire' film series. We were very conscious of the fact that Hong Kong had this kind of side-story to tell and we're aiming to present it in such a way as that it remains representative of the culture Sleeping Dogs portrays, rather than bring in a whole ton of ill-fitting Western influences.
We'll have more details on Nightmare in North Point tomorrow.

ALSO, we're currently running a poll on the Sleeping Dogs Facebook page where we're asking the community to choose the contents of an upcoming premium DLC pack, which we'll then go ahead and create before making it available to purchase. Just to make sure this exercise runs nice and smoothly, were giving you two choices one based in reality, the other belonging more to the realms of fantasy. This way we make the content you'd prefer to own.
You can find the poll on Facebook here and you can find details on the options over the game's official community site here: YOU CHOOSE IT, WE CREATE IT.
Please, get involved.
