My activity feed is all anime now, and there's only one person Witcher 3. Surprising.
Only anime stories I can remember are Ninja Scroll and Van Helsing; couldn't tell you what the fuck happened in Akira or Ghost in the Shell; Evangelion, maybe someday...
I'm tempted to get Sleeping Dogs due to it's price (even cheaper on GMG), but I know it'll sit in the corner like every other open-world crime game I've bought in the last five years.
Sleeping Dogs has a lot of charm. If it's your style, then it should grab hold early on. The campaign isn't too long, and there are limited side activities to distract from that.
