I believe you hold the left trigger to walk.

Yep. The console versions don't have any leeway on the stick at all. Have to hold left trigger otherwise you just jog around.

The 50k cockfight achievement isn't unlocking for me

Didn't work for me either at first. Had to bet a couple times and then it finally unlocked.

I believe you hold the left trigger to walk.

Left Trigger on 360 controller is for targeting enemies in combat. To walk you just use left analog stick.

If you pull the left trigger outside of combat you get that nice slow walk with the zoomed in perspective. Love that.

 

[Neiteio]

I mentioned it in the PC performance thread, but if you're not forcing anisotropic filtering you're doing it wrong. Sleeping Dogs appears to have none. Force 16x through your drivers and it cleans up textures over distance beautifully.

How do I do this? I went under Advanced Settings and I don't see an option for this?

 

[KePoW]

That's weird, I guess that's another reason to get the PC version!

But is the 'jog' speed really that fast to be bothersome? Who wants to walk at slow speed in a game like this anyway

 

[Mik2121]

The driving handling has been discussed a ton, and it's just personal preference. Does someone like arcade or realistic handling, there's no right or wrong.

As for pressing a button to walk, I have no idea what you're talking about. There's only a button to sprint, not to walk. (PC version with 360 controller)

I know that the driving is about preference, I'm just a fan of how the GTAIV cars handle, being able to just slowly drive by without it looking awkward when going at low speeds. In this game it doesn't feel as good to me.

As for walking, dunno.. at least on PS3 you press L2 to walk, otherwise the player is sort of jogging rather than walking. I know it sounds like a very small detail, but I like being able to walk around slowly and drive slowly to enjoy the views... :/

To walk around like this!

He isn't moving.

Personally I just sprinted around the entire game, but it is kind of weird to not have that "variable" speed with the movement stick.

The zoomed-in walk is nice for sightseeing, but you're right that it doesn't really figure into the game other than that.

 

[derFeef]

Gif of that size was too huge.
I mean the perspective.

Yeah I sprinted everywhere too.

But now that you guys mention it, maybe I never really tried to walk slow. So maybe it's true what you're saying about the analog stick.

 

[Mik2121]

Yeah. That's why I said the game isn't bad... it's just to me it doesn't feel as good as I expected. For a game with such an awesome environment, it would be great if you were able to enjoy it a bit more by walking slowly and whatnot. It's that and the car handling.. specially when going slow, the camera likes to do crazy stuff

Anyway, I'm really liking the rest of the game, so it's all good

 

[derFeef]

Are you guys saying that the "zoom in and walk slowly" thing only works on PC with controller? I hope that's not a bug and they keep that in because I love it.

 

[dreamfall]

I think with the Keyboard you just hold Shift and walk for that zoomed in perspective?

 

[EatChildren]

I guess we can all look forward to people checking in 20+ hours of gameplay as Dennis is yet to make is way out of the market.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Cheers guys, I'll get it whe my backloag's a little smaller, so if any developers are reading this you can add 1 to your sales, as I wouldn't want my backlog to contribute to you guys going under

 

[EatChildren]

I thought it was a nice touch that Vivienne Lu, the singer in the game, also has a song on the soundtrack.

 

[Cloudy]

On ps2 it's L2 and stick. I always sprint though lol

 

[Dennis]

Guys, the market looks real good.

 

[iNvid02]

yeah i hopped in the car and was about to change the station when i noticed she was playing.

some nice little touches in this game, my fav was smashing the windshield to get out when both sides of my car were blocked.

this game is a repeat of last year with saints row 3, great open world game comes out of nowhere and is just enormous fun

edit: i still cant take screenshots yet, god dan

 

[Cloudy]

So I did some walking or just now and I noticed the striped clothing is used VERY often on the NPC ladies. Is this a HK thing or just dev laziness?

Gah - steam is reporting that an update is required for SD but won't update (keeps saying connection refused)

any thoughts?

[iNvid02]

if in doubt, delete clientregistry.blob file in the steam install directory

 

[ekim]

On Xbox you also have to pull the left trigger to walk.

Try to play in Steam's offline mode. Should work.

verfiy the game files

 

[chickdigger802]

anyone else... get a bit frustrated with the gore

Like... I spend so much and grinded so much face and i get in 1 fight and my swell suit is splattered in blood T_T.

Wish the game had a portable dry cleaner in your trunk.

 

[george_us]

This game probably has the best story ever in an open world game. Hell in a game period.

 

[LuchaShaq]

If you're using a 360 controller press X I think on the map and the things you have unlocked will show up.

Awesome will try that later.

Saw half of the dating spoiler earlier but I have a question regarding it. Are there any real consequences to cheating?

 

[rocK`]

verfiy the game files

heh its stuck doing that as well...

 

[KillerTravis]

So far I'm absolutely loving this game! I really can't get enough of open world games.

 

[iNvid02]

heh its stuck doing that as well...

time to play in offline mode while waiting for steam support then

 

[buhdeh]

God what a shit port this is on PC. Game freezes at splash screen so I have to disable steam community to get it going. Graphics settings are bugged as fuck and don't save so I have to edit the XML files manually. New game freezes at loading. Google searches bring up hundreds of posts with the same problems. Fuck this.

 

[Cloudy]

Been playing about 8 hours and I never really left the first area except for the Amanda picture thing lol. Gonna fool around and see if I can do some drug busts and events elsewhere. Don't wanna finish the main story too quick

ps: LMAO @ the Tiffany favor event

On the flip side I have had none of these issues and the game runs and performs wonderfully for me.

Yeah, it baffles me when people do all the main missions first. I'd rather finish all sidequests before the main quests.

[Darklord]

I think this game is better than GTA4. I'm having so much fun with it. I love the Hong kong setting, the combat is fun, the characters are fun. I hope this sells well because I will buy the hell out of a sequel.

[NIN90]

Lol, that whole thing (minor dating spoilers)

Spoiler

with Tiffany cheating on Wei was kinda weird. Didn't even know they were a couple. They just had had a karaoke session.
They guy was like "Man, Tiffany is foolin' around!!" and I was like "Who is she cheating on?"

time to play in offline mode while waiting for steam support then

that also didnt work. deleted local content and reinstalling.

some other steam games refuse to update as well...weird.

 

[- J - D -]

Finally got a chance to play this today. Game handles terribly with keyboard + mouse. Need to plug in the 360 controller asap.

 

[Nabs]

Did you bother to change the download region?

I wonder if its actually Lucy Liu singing on that track. Too lazy to sit through the credits to find out though.
