The combat is pretty fun. makes you feel pretty BA when you destroy like 10 dudes with counter moves and not take a hit. I've only done it a couple of times though. haven't played all the way through, but for what I have played, it is fun. Wouldn't really put it above saints row and the like, but definitely entertaining.

I have also eperienced glitchiness in the form of the character not being able to move at certain random points in the game. It is fixed if you restart from a savepoint or load, but it is still kind of annoying though.

Awesome game. The only thing I'd wish they ke[t from the True Crime formula was the branching storyline based on your decisions.

Like if Wei Shin could have stayed as a Red Pole and cut his ties with the cops and things like that.

I love this game, and I haven't even played any of the non-free DLC. Got it cheap on Steam a ways back but only really started playing it again recently. IMO it's easily in the same ballpark as SR and GTA.

I would think that if a Game of the Year edition was going to come out it'd already have been announced.

Yeah. There don't seem to be any GotY plans. All the DLC has come out and they're starting on the sequel.

The story was great. But it could have been so much better if they'd kept the branching storyline aspect of the past True Crime games. I'm hopeful they'll implement it in the next installment...and maybe on next gen.

Also the Bruce Lee DLC was awesome.

Yeah. The game plus the DLC's won't cost that much especially now. But it's all worth it.

Doesn't a game technically have to be voted GOTY by at least one publication before they'll realistically do that?

Or was Sleeping Dogs voted as such? I genuinely don't know.

That seems to be the case

don't know how Dead Island got it what with all its bugs/glitches.

In terms of storyline and how much I personally enjoyed the game, I'd say it's superior to most games in both the GTA & SR franchises. Driving and shooting are also handled better when compared to most games in those 2 franchises, IMO; never mind hand to hand combat and platforming.

Drug Busts were hilarious though. I laughed every time I sent the police after the wrong person. Sometimes even after a civilian.

Also:

Agreed on the story part. In fact, I would go so far as to say Sleeping Dogs played like a normal 3rd person action game; it just happened to have a huge open world added in. In a good way. Because of that, it had a more cinematic story than the other two tended to really have.

I wouldn't say the guns are better (and I still prefer GTA's driving), but that's not to say Sleeping Dogs did it badly. It didn't. The game does so many things right, and it really was a joy to play. It actually felt like one of those old Hong Kong action movies. Really brutal and not afraid to tug at the heart-strings.

Makes sense when you look at it that way. Combat and platforming are handled well enough that it could be seen as a 3rd person action game with an open world environment to run around in.

Up until GTA V, I didn't really like the driving and shooting mechanics in a GTA game.
Only reasons I drove were to run over pedestrians and get around in missions. Was way too easy to lose control of the car. So far, the best car handling I've seen in an open world GTA-esque game has been in Mafia.

Yeah, the game was certainly a good call back to those action movies.

Will you get the DLC? I'm waiting for a sale or some such.
