I just bought a selection of exotic A Class cars, carefully selecting a paint job for each one and now when ever I choose a car from the list, I get the default colours. :^/

yea, colors are broken. they don't save.

If anyone's interested, 24HERBS does have their album for DD purchase on Amazon:

[antitrop]

Also I feel the need to mention the amazing soundtrack in this game. Opeth and Trivium along with a ton of awesome music appropriate to the setting? It's wonderful.

 

[B-Dex]

Also note Wei's VA is not Chinese so that is why he doesn't speak any Canto.

What I want to know is what song that was that plays during the fake watch mission. I've heard Square may have made their own songs which is why I can't find it on Youtube.

 

[DJMicLuv]

so damn true. Stranglehold was fun for what it was but SD really nails the HK crime drama feel with its homages and references. hell, i'm still impressed people speak REAL Cantonese int his game. i wish i could sit next to you guys and tell you what the NPCs are saying when you jack them or hit them. it's all pretty hilarious.

If this has already been asked I'm sorry but I heard a commercial on the radio stations which kept saying 'One Eyed Monkey' in English while the rest was in Cantonese. What's that all about?

End game Wei is the best Wei--Guy is a beast once you unlock all the skills.

 

[SMT]

Yeah, one of the draws of the game was the top notch soundtrack, I found myself listening to Asian Pop, Rap, and herbal music?

The best version I have heard of Air, ever!

The commercials were awesome too! Cambria this, some women going whu-jun-hu, just professional.

Think it's just a commercial for some kind of beauty product.

Yea, thats it. I'm kinda floored that they made real ads but didn't bother subbing them at all.

Motherfuckin' Covetous Shen!

Just listened to it. It's for a massage parlor. Basically saying "are you tired all the time and need a good massage? Come to One Eyed Monkey blah blah blah massage."

"Big Paul's" is for cheap shoes.

There's a commercial for a hot pot restaurant and also a bread store with all kinds of breads; curry, coconut, red bean, whatever you waaaaaant!

Awesome, that's the song when everyone is sad.

I kept trying to no total the car so as not to spoil the mood with someone's something.

Sound quality is godly for that mp3, thanks.

Boo. I want the song when I'm chasing fake watch dealers.

Softly station is really great. I think I only hate one song on it.

 

[Randy]

I lost it when Hudson Mohawke played during a certain mission. Such a great moment in the game.

I always browse for it, but I can't seem to find it.

I always get Verdi's Rigoletti as soon as I hop into a car. :|

The Karaoke featuring Flock of Seagulls and Aha really got to me. I loved Take On ME

Even better, it was at night and raining when this song came on!

Sweet, for me it was when the sun was setting, maybe on the way back it was raining. Next time it will be raining on my desktop.

There's also a song I like called "The Hard Way" but it has no artist, so I'm guessing it's a Square original or something.

Yeah, it's pretty good too, I'm pretty sure someone will flac the disc in due time.

Bailed off a motorbike at high speed and it knee capped a chick walking past. I had a hearty chuckle.

Also at the start of every race the chick with the flairs gets absolutely nailed

I love this game

You could just record the songs with FRAPS when they are playing and extract the audio from the recorded video.

I had that happen a few times. AI just decided to swerve and pin her between some cars; I just scooted around them while giggling.

The soundtrack was good, but I do wish they put more Cantopop in there. No Faye Wong? She has like a billion songs.

 

[bitoriginal]

I did some awesome move yesterday where I ran up someone's chest like a bicycle kick and then roundhoused them to the face, but I seriously cannot figure out how to pull it off again.

I have just woken up though, maybe I dreamt it. This game man.

You have to have a pistol out. I did it the other day too.

Sandra is trouble. The best kind of trouble.

Not Peng is more trouble. Those kind of girls are ALWAYS trouble.

Accidently jump kicked the lady always gossiping outside my apartment. Still didn't shut her up.

Also slid off a car into jump kicking a thug in the face. Dukes of Hong Kong action.

Oh yess Faye Wong. That's why my favourite Sleeping Dogs girl is Not Ping. She looks like Faye Wong from Chungking Express.

She's also the one singing in that cover version of Dreams.

The way the Big Rooster Bakery guy says "delicious" always cracks me up.

Also, it's not "Big Paul's" but rather "Big Horse". I wonder if it is some sort of weed pun.

Oh, I wasn't sure about the Big Paul's thing so I put it in quotes.

I also wasn't a fan of Amanda. I kept picturing Emma Stone.

Vivi was so good, I didn't even know it was Lucy Liu.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El42uezGqn4 Found this on Neogaf of all places; EatChildren.

I thought Lucy Liu was Sandra.

Either way, if she played Vivienne, did she do the few Vivienne Lu tracks in the soundtrack?

Anyone know what the change radio buttons are for KBaM? Normally play with the pad, but sometimes flick over. Pretty sure i checked options and couldn't find it. But maybe i'm just blind.

I think it's weird that Sagitarrius or whatever is NEVER on any cars that I jack. I have to manually go there.

Daptone is the best station, btw

I'm going to be honest here, the combat engine isn't as responsive as it should be, but this game was developed at an earlier time, the next Sleeping Dogs installment should be better.

Countering exposes the engine.

You can also do a Robin Shou/Jackie Chan Style wall-jump kick, run towards the wall, then pull the analog back while holding run and pressing punch\kick.

Also, the next game should have separate kick, punch, and grapple buttons. It would so help with stunning a foe.

I'm not saying steal Arkham's button mapping, but STEAL Arkham's button mapping\engine NOW!

Also tweak it for Sleeping Dogs.

I think the countering is fine - its pretty responsive. The countering window is a bit narrow with the grapplers but its not impossible.

But what i will say is that the combat should be faster paced - more like DOA series... but really it should be like jackie chan movies but at a playable level - right now its more like a UFC pace.

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

Finished the game half an hour ago. Great game just like watching a good Johnnie To film. I wished that opened/used collectables would dissappear from the game map though

 

[Jimrpg]

Also, entering your home makes all your naughty deeds go away. I guess there's no house-arrest.



To get me prepared, I watched a few Chow Yun Fat Hong Kong Cinema movies, but Hardboiled wasn't on netflix.

Next game I get is Stranglehold.

Hard Boiled is on Youtube though if you don't mind the low def quality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waSTdqwPC2s

The HK movies I would watch as companion pieces to SD would be

any of the Jackie Chan Police Stories, Armour of God series
Better Tomorrow series
The Killer
Hard Boiled
Infernal Affairs series
Election series
and check out some of Johnnie To's films too

and Im ashamed to say I haven't seen Young and Dangerous series but people should definitely watch them.

I like this better than Arkham City combat because it feels like something happening in reality instead of super crazy low gravity land. The attacks have some actual weight to them, and you can string together some decent combos instead of just lashing out in all directions like a cyborg Tasmanian devil.

It also helps that Wei looks like a martial artist. Batman looks like a Gears of War character, and it looks real goofy when he does any kind of kick in Arkham. Batman's counter punches and backhands look awesome though, but there's one animation Batman does where he jumps up and does a split kick and it's the dumbest looking thing ever.

 

[Jimrpg]

I have terrible reaction skills to counter an attack...

there are different timing windows for countering the different enemies, grapplers and weapon holders being the most difficult.

id like to see a dodge button like Yakuza next time
