Nightmare in North point is pretty good
Make sure to download the High-Res Texture Pack
On the other hand, ten minutes with the free weekend was all I needed to know I NEED this game. Was really skeptical during the sales but I'm sold now.

I knew Sleepibg Dogs was going to be 10.
Glad I waited.
Glad I waited.
If you can rent it on consoles than go for it. It's not worth a purchase at all though. They really butchered it.
Meh....I decided to not pick it up

Sleeping Dogs at 75% off. Just for $10. Who would have guessed.

The only DLC that's worthwhile at any price is Nightmare at North Point. Zodiac Tournament is essentially a bunch of combat arenas and everything else is either horse armour or outright cheats.

I don't think your CPU is up to it. The game seriously runs like shit. The worst of any game I have played, even Metro 2033, which wasn't a problem till I went to higher settings.
That sucks big time. It looked interesting. Thanks!

What? I could run Train Simulator smoothly on my shitty $500 laptop.
10 minutes too much, if you ask me.
Had I impulse bought it as I was so close to do during the Winter sale, I would have been pissed off, because Chivalry turned out to not be the game I was thinking even if it's a cool game. It simply isn't the game for me to play, so I'll be content watching videos of people playing instead.

Same here.. been watching the game but hated the free weekend.. bought sleeping dogs instead.
I'm not even sure myself. Probably something a bit more straightforward and simpler control wise.
While watching someone be there, moving around trying to kill his enemy/enemies and all the stuff going on around was fun and at times humorous in certain videos, actually being the person doing it just didn't feel all that fun for me.

Well seeing as how Max Payne 3's multiplayer is basically a ghost town, I would say no.

Couldn't say no to 50 cents and playing as Adam Jensen

I can forgive the game scoring so lowly on GAF's GoTY 2012 rankings if it's ultimately 2013's LTTP 2012 winner.
I can see this being a possibility for me. MotN is definitely high on my 'to play' list, just... you know, sometime

It's like the best stealth game in a long ass time. So good.

I haven't been thoroughly amazed for a long time. For stealth, I was introduced to the Thief games just last year and those amazed me. Arkham City grew into amazing me as I played through it. SSF4 was amazing in that it was actually good. In atmosphere or beauty of level design maybe some parts of Tomb Raider Anniversary or Underworld. When I played the NES Maga Man games for the first time a couple years ago the quality in the simplicity was amazing.
That's not exactly what I meant, though. What I mean is that the hype around Mark of the Ninja has a level of intensity that I did not feel. For me it was a "hey, this is fairly clever" and yes, I suppose when you stop and think about how long ago something like Chaos Theory or Peace Walker was, it has been a long time since we had a quality stealth game. However, it has been a while since we had ANY stealth game (okay, Human Revolution if you choose to play that style, and it's great), and I don't sit around frothing at the mouth for more stealth games, and MotN doesn't come close to those classics. So if I'm talking about "stealth games" especially, the game is not a stand out because there simply haven't been many and the others were better.
Mark of the Ninja is a quality... cute... puzzle-ish... game. It is finished quickly and has some surprises, yet kind of holds itself down. I tried going for some high-level play and it just wasn't there to be had. High scores were a matter of absolute tedium (getting guys to pass by you, then distracting them, then killing them, hopefully scaring half with the other half, then hiding the bodies) and speed runs were easy and/or muddled by controls that weren't at all designed to be pushed like that. And the linearity of 2D design made anything after the surprise of the initial playthrough rather flat and prescribed. A big element of high-game stealth is dynamic between you and the enemy, the dance, something greatly hindered by 2D.
Games that really impress me typically open up more and more. Even if I don't end up going there all the way myself (Super Meat Boy), if I see that it will, that sticks with me. My #1 thing is and always has been the dynamic between my direct control and the challenges the game puts me through. If it's static, and I think Mark of the Ninja is, that isn't something of greatness. If it's always shifting and keeping me on my toes, yet gives me tools for freedom and precision to step through it masterfully, that is beautiful. Stealth games have gone there, action games have gone there, racing and fighting games often go there.

I really hate playing stealth games...and I almost liked mark of the ninja.
So I can only assume to fans of the genre it would be pretty amazing.
That one and Zodiac Tournament are the only 'content' ones. Everything else is cosmetic and/or game breaking.
