Okay guise.
I saw a video of fun things. I kinda liked it. But I don't want the game to be boring after a while.
Is there plenty to do? How long is the game? What's the replay like?

Thank you sir.
Do you like smashing peoples heads in? Throwing dudes off 10 story balconies in slo-mo as they scream to their deaths? How about karaoke?
Then I have a game for you.
Oh wow. No. The achievements aren't even in the game page in my library.
Been trying to buy this via Greenmangaming.com and can't. I put in my CC details and it gives me an authenticate order screen where I have to use my secure Mastercard password, I put that in and it tells me they're unable to process my order.
Anyone else see this/know a workaround? :\

man Wei is the best looking open world game character yet. If there's a thing the game does right is making you feel like a badass, the batman-like combat is the main contributor here but the look (and specially how you can get pretty beaten up in terms of blood splatters and whatnot) doesnt hurt

its gonna be hard to go back to open world driving without melee vehicle attacks, very satisfying
also, city neon + night + rain = insane
BTW for those having trouble fighting (it took me a while for it to feel natural) you can practice fighting the types of thugs in the kung fu place when it unlocks early on

Yea I really love this about the game. I noticed I was dirtied and bloody as hell after roaming for a good hour. Great details like this really make the game for me. Also, this is one of the few games I can remember that effectively shows wet clothing. I wish it would rain more than it already does.
I also want a trench coat.
PR guy hinted at Jensen's coat and other Deus Ex stuff probably coming in future DLC

huh I forgot that its SE that released deus ex, the bright neon streets made me want to go back and play deus ex again
Okay, this is a going to be about as shaky as can get, but I'm trying to decide if I want to pick this up on Steam right now. I'm in the mood for a high-tech open world game.
My feelings about some open-world games:
Just Cause 2 - Awesome
GTA IV - Pretty good
San Andreas - Awesome
Saints Row 3 - Boring
Red Dead Redemption - Okay
Assassin's Creed - Boring
Is the melee in this game as hands-off as Assassin's Creed and Batman AC? Is the ranged combat a lot of waiting behind cover? If yes to either or both of these, are there enough badass-looking ways to deal with enemies to keep it all fresh enough? Is the city pretty and varied?

LMAO, I'm too much of a goody two shoes to bust an innocent person, but that's hilarious.

It's hilarious, I've only had one instance where I've arrested an innocent. Every other time it has been "Whoa, we would have never picked that one out! Great work!"

If you're asking which Sleeping Dogs is most like, I'd have to say GTA IV.

Is there a special button to put on the motorcycle helmet or am I missing something? He never wears one when I ride a bike.

Animation of backing up on a motorcycle with a passenger is unfortunate but hilarious. I laugh because I'm childish.

Oh shit, after having a rough time with fighting, i trained in the martial arts club (i was fighting in one in the port that was obviously too high level for me lol) and when I beat it I got the hang of the fighting perfectly. This turned awesome!

yeah, one of the martial art clubs in the south had so many dudes in the final round that my computer chugged.
And good pc port proof:
Game tells you not to turn off your pc when it saves, not your consoles.
Also, a cool little thing, if you cause a crime, civilians will take out their phones and videocam the stuff. Crazy!

PC technical review here for anyone interested http://www.rage3d.com/articles/gaming/sleepingdogs_techreview It's wonderful as a PC game, thankfully.

So I'm riding around the city and I decided to do a surveillance mission. I hop over some fence and all of a sudden 15 dudes with guns start shooting. I immediately run the other way back on my motorcycle. That's the first time in any sandbox game where mooks with guns actually scared me.
This game is simply.. amazing. So much attention to detail. The driving is actually fun in a different way than GTA IV is fun. I can back up and whip around (it's as if they intended for you to do this). The people walk around with their heads in cell phones and eating noodles out of styrofoam containers, and carry umbrellas when it looks like rain. It's the little things that are making me love it.
And of course.. it's gorgeous to look at.

Another great detail I caught...if you go back to your apartment and use the sink, it cleans Wei up.
Just wanted to pop in again and say that after 7 hours, I'm still loving this game! It's awesome and way better than I expected.
I think most everyone know the greatness of the PC port and DX11 eye candy, but most important thing is that it's just plain fun.
I definitely like it better than Saints Row The Thurd, and even a bit more fun than GTA4. I'd put it slightly below RDR, but that's one of my fav games of all time.

loving the game so far. my only problem is the vertical mouse sensitivity, and the fact that it locks you after you go to a certain y elevation. and the in-car camera with the mouse is absolutely horrible... i can only pan around the car wtf?
otherwise enjoying this game immensely!
i also found riding motorcycles a bit weird at first but am slowly getting used to it
edit: another thing! not a big problem but while the streets are filled with pedestrians, the roads seem to have absolutely little to no cars on them

Jeez, between you and Canedaddy, I've had quite the IGN deja vu today.
