15 hours in and still absolutely loving this game. Aiming controls are a little off which is disappointing because these guys flail like crazy when they get hit. Uncharted would do well to take a look at those reactions. Everything else is so good though. I love the setting. The sense of place is so spot on. Nighttime during a rainstorm in the real dense areas looks AMAZING. All 3 gameplay styles (hand to hand combat, driving, shooting) fit together very nicely, on foot traversal is probably top of its class in the "crime/action open world" subgenre, missions have been varied enough at this point, hand to hand combat remains satisfying (especially as you upgrade), all the side missions and distractions are well done, solid voice acting, solid story, etc. etc. It's just a smartly designed game. Feels like its been put together by people who were annoyed by the same issues the fans were annoyed by.

- Has anyone else brought a
back to the first safehouse and had that little Easter egg?
I don't know what I did to trigger that, but it was hilarious.
- United Front worked some absolute magic with the console RAM + GPU/CPU limitations. You can got on foot chases or ENTIRE MISSIONS only to come back and find your car right where you left it. And with all the different crap happening between action highjacking, explosions, slow motion, lighting, lots of cars in one area, lots of vendors, pedestrians, etc. etc. I've never had the framerate take a dive. Pop in is also nowhere near as bad as it looked pre-release. I've actually only noticed it twice in 15 hours.

Taxi
A lady got in the backseat and right as she was going to annouce a destination, Wei asked her "Do I look like a cab driver?" and she screamed and ran out of the car.

Your own fault for punching the poor chap so hard. You should've took the high road and spoke him down to a non-aggressive level.
it's really funny to think these are the modnation racers and littlebigplanet karting guys
Downloading the patch now- excited for some fixes I hope. Hilarity during
(Mission- 2nd half).
Had to restart that mission a couple times to progress, but the mission itself was insane. Great game thus far, really enjoying every minute of it!
Massacre at the Wedding mission
After performing an execution with the chandelier, the enemy started twitching really badly. After that, every enemy downed went flying up against the wall in a stuttering dance!

My favorite little unexpected thing was
coming to a screeching halt in a car right in front of three people hanging out by the door of my apartment building. Two of them ran off, but the old guy in the middle had a heart attack and fell over dead anyway. Afterward the other two came back and took pictures of his corpse with their phones.
That does blow. Luckily i haven't had any super crazy glitches or lock-ups yet.

hmmm does this game support steam cloud?
The store page is quite barebones on the right bar with it just saying 'single-player'.

For something that was mired in development hell for a while this is a pretty confidently executed game. Hopefully the buzz will turn into some nice sales; would love to see a sequel without any dev troubles.

Restarting the mission didnt help?

i would just like to let eveyrone know that this games looks awesome in 3d using 3dtv play.
Or you know... The Bully and Red Faction guys
yeah but that makes more sense so it's not as fun!
I'm just saying, give them a little credit!
I actually liked MNR.
This is my favorite song in the game so far
well it wasnt about giving credit or knocking on their previous work or anything :/ im sure most people are aware. I was just finding it funny that the same guys who did those cutesy kart racers made this "mature" open world game, they have some range

I hope I don't need DLC to wake them up.
Ha. Should be perfect. GTX 580 (1.5GB), 8GB ram and a 2500k. All running at stock. I'm getting perfect 60fps with everything maxed, except AA.

Isn't there a Sleeping Dogs PC performance thread?
PC patches always make me nervous.. especially on Steam. I should just disable the auto update

At last im going to play the game with steam connected, I suppose i didnt get any story achivements though.
Just put it and there was a patch, and my new internet provider works amazing, only 5 minutes waiting for download, thank god. This morning would have been more than an hour with my old internet.
1 chrash in 8 hours I have played, I hope the patch fixes that.
EDIT: NOPE, no achivements
Well, that for using VPN.

Just finished the game! (don't worry no spoilers to follow) I loved it! so much fun. For some reason this game was soooo much more fun to me than say GTA. I really really enjoyed the combat, and man the story was pretty dang impressive. Not super surprising but still loved it. I actually really liked the voice acting thought it was top notch. Anyway such a great game would totally recommend it to anyone....well anyone over the age of 17...game is pretty graphic lol.
Hope everyone else is enjoying it. I love being off school for a few weeks, now I can delve into Darksiders 2

hmmm... is it just me or is the game surprisingly not that 'sexy' for a crime game? The sexiest stuff is probably the massage ladies and the lol dating missions.
Unless... stuff gets kinky later :S

Training for the leg break grapple combo is hilarious, that poor student got his leg smashed in like 4 times.
I want the patch notes for the big update. Helped a ton, and it got rid of stuttering on my end. I see it does something to my setting when I mess with one, but the game looks the same as yesterday, and I just fixed the setting individually again anyway.
This game looks amazing. (ignore the shitty compression, steam screenshots ftl)
Yes, that is a fish.

They are releasing another patch tonight to fix that. The problem was only introduced in the earlier patch today.

There's a lot of hilarious bugs in here. Like dragging a person into another makes the punching sound and said person bleeds and flips over. Also, if you try to hit Y (controller/PC) next to passing car Wei will flip over and roll around.
I've put like 30 hours into this game and I love it!
