Shit, I've got one random event until 100% completion. Time to go for a cruise...

I managed to call my Valet and subsequently push him to the passenger seat of my car. Now we're zipping around HK trying to get Max Speed award. 
This game is so fucking rad.

Lol I always press right up against the taxi's door and stop moving for a second. Only way to be sure.

About 2 hours in. Really loving it so far.
Only issue I'm having is that I keep trying to get into cars from the wrong side, lol (and driving on the wrong side of the road for that matter).

It's looking like I'll 100% the game too, not something I do very often at all, last game I did it for was RE4.
GAF hype served me well on this game, I hadn't even heard of it a few weeks ago.

I am really interested in this game, but I'm wondering...
...How's the gameplay outside of the main story elements? The videos I've seen have reminded me of a mix of Deus Ex, Shenmue and GTA, but what's the side stuff like?

Goddamn DLC. I don't need money I own everything in the game. Gimme missions!

Yep. Same here.
What I'm bummed about is that they had one of those bullshit retailer exclusive missions accidentally unlocked and they patched it out before I got to mess with it, apparently it was a marital arts club but with an endless wave of enemies

This might sound dumb, but how do I walk? Playing on the PC with a controller and he just keeps running, even if I slightly tilt the joystick.
I found them really fun - but i did a lot of side quests just to stop myself from finishing the main story too quickly... the races are good for practising driving and riding bikes... in the fight clubs you fight a series of rounds which progressively get more difficult with more enemies in each round... the hand to hand combat engine is one of the best parts of the game and hasn't got old for me yet. The drug busts are awesome too and these are slightly different to the fight clubs as the baddies use weapons like knives and crowbars. All the collectibles give you something tangible like cash or a bit of health or melee upgrades. And you can unlock where the collectibles on your map so you don't have to go scouring every corner for the last lockbox. There's lots of random things that happen as well, jobs you can do like collect cars for people. In short most of the stuff is 'worth doing' and not just for completionist sake.
The only issue i have with the whole game is that the mastermind guessing pin number game gets old after a while as do the cracking the code on the lockboxes.
So I started over on the 360 version today. I'd played 9 hours on the ps3 version not knowing I had to hold for a strong strike and that you can counter when enemies flash red. Dunno how I missed this the first time around but it might have been the text size. Seems better on 360. This game needs a manual though lol
PS: Game looks quite a bit better on xbox

It's LT on 360. Hold it and move.
I really hope they patch newgame+ option in
ALso I find it interesting that Yakuza uses a item health system where you can stock up on health items and use them anytime in fights
but in Sleeping Dogs you have to rely on working up your face meter...
I think this leads to more intense fights with SD because you can't just rely on stocking up tons of health items
It's a pretty easy achievement list too but it's fun and involves doing everything the game offers. Those are the best achievements.
I was wondering why that mission pack was available in my game. It was fun while it lasted.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
The one beside the docks and cockfighting arena? Good thing I haven't updated my game yet.
Yeah I have that, there's also a mission where you're riding passenger on the highway and you have to gun down seemingly a billion triad bikes coming after you. The melee fight club is much more fun since it gives you a chance to really work the combat. But there's no environment kills during it.
I managed to get to 51 kills before they all started carrying knives and got a lot more aggressive.

Just finished it, end credits are rolling now. Hell of a game, hell of a game. Probably my biggest, most pleasant surprise of the year. Hats off to United Front.
I did that once and shocked I pulled it off. Awesome game
I might just buy sleeping dogs again for the 360 to support the developer.
Gift it to someone on Steam, the dev will see a greater percentage of the purchase price.
If i had a steam account i might. I am playing on my ps3 now.
you have a Steam account. you just don't use it, lol

Nothing wrong with that. Even saying its the worst of all the versions doesn't mean its a bad game or unplayable or anything.

Where do you go to replay missions? Just finished the game and still only a level 9 Triad. =(

Select, go to community, and then replay missions.

Open your social hub and go to the mission list.
Note that you cant grind for Triad points. All you can do is attempt to get the highest possible Triad ranking in a mission to earn those missed points. If you've already got max on a mission you can't grind for more.
Which sucks, as I can't be arsed going through missions all over again trying to max out Triad points, yet am only 1/3rd of a way left to level 10.

Ok thanks guys.
It sucks none of the activities give you Triad points, so far as I know.

The dates were merely gameplay devices to unlock collectible locations. The thing about SD's game design is that everything is wound together extremely tightly. Dates, collectibles all serve a purpose, map design is small but extremely dense, etc. I hate to say this, but I wouldn't have minded a little more fat in the game.

It's surprising how Sleeping Dogs manages to maintain its level of quality. I keep expecting the graphics/mission to diminish but I'm up to 70% completion and still being consistently impressed.
