Anyone suffering from crashes? I've done a couple of drug busts that upon completion seem to reboot my console.

impressions 2-3 hours in:

+mission variety(working as undercover cop or doing missions for gangs... hell, even the random favors to gain extra cash or reputation seem to have more variety than GTA4)
+combat for an open world game
+general control and smoothness in movement and actions(way better than GTA)
+graphics and framerate(looks really nice for an open world console game with no slowdown)
+great city that feels alive and authentic if you've been in HK before
+interesting cutscenes that don't really drag out(my main problem with rockstar games but maybe i'm biased here since i speak cantonese and find the random input of cantonese dialogue to be both awesome and hilarious)

-driving is easily the worst part of the game(doesn't feel as smooth as GTA)
-economy might be OP since i'm only a few hours in but because of random stashes that give out at least 5000 as well as missions being generous with cash, i'm already sitting on 70000... to put it in perspective small buffs or HP food cost like 50-1000. time will tell if the cost of apartment accessories or vehicles etc. will end up being balanced in the end.

score so far: 8-9/10

A little more responsive, something that I really like about this game because of all the traffic in the tight streets.

Most cars seems to have pretty soft suspension ala GTA 4 btw

Cool. not just me then Smile I was worried there might be a hardware problem rather than a 'bug' related issue Smile


My first impressions of this game are I really like it. It feels a little more alive to me than the likes of GTAIV purely as the side missions vary quite a bit. You feel more involved in the city rather than it just being a bunch of missions scattered across a map (which in reality it is, but they're engaging).

Graphically it's pretty good so I'm looking forward to the pc version to drop to see what it can do on new tech.

The only thing I'm not convinced by is the driving (especially engine sounds being a bit lightweight) and perhaps the camera (which sometimes does some quirky stuff).

Excellent game so far (played about 1.5 hours)

It's a good thing I've got a huge backlog of existing games, and a kick-ass PC, else I'd succumb right now and grab the 360 version Very Happy

I also really like pretty much everything about the game so far, sans the driving. It sucks, I hate the fast light handling. Just feels wrong. Real shame. Anyway cool game, better than many.

Found this post about the game on the GameFaq forum

"I've only put a couple hours into the game thus far.I understand how some are comparing this game to Shenmue.I'm trying to enjoy it,but the game is filled with S and F bombs.Also there was some guy talking about getting "oral sex" and wanting to "shoot a load" into her mouth.Shenmue this is not.I had to shut the game off because I have young kids.But even if I didn't,I would still have a problem concentrating on the story because of the excessive amount of vulgar language and themes.I almost feel dirty playing this game.I was really looking forward to this game,and the gameplay itself seems really fun,but I may have to move on to something different if things don't change later on in the game.It's way too distracting.I wish there was an option to turn off questionable material."

Probably some uptight puritanical republican that doesn't understand that poop and shit are the same substance. And humping and fucking are the same activity. Words are just words. Good thing there isn't any nudity in this game or that guy would be suing someone!

God I hate most of my fellow overly-religious Americans sometimes. I mean, most of the times.

Guy buys (pfft, right... downloads) a game about a cop going undercover with the Chinese triads, with violence and murder and drug taking and car stealing, etc etc etc.... yet gets all pissy and complains about swear words. Oh brother. What the hell was he expecting? The player to take control of Wei Shen whose job is to go around and hug the criminals until they stop being mean? Laughing Laughing Laughing

Its reactions like that fuckwits that make developers think against adding adult themed material. Always the bullshit double standard when it comes to games. Dont you know only kids play them.

This clown probably complains about the hardcore porn he downloads, has to much explicit sex

The driving is easily one the worst examples ever in an open world game, and that is taking every open world game since they went 3D. It's shitty, to say the least.

And I really don't feel the city to be "alive" or atleast not very interesting. It's not fair to compare it to Liberty City in GTA IV, but lets take Saints Row 2's city - even that one feels more genuine and "organic" so to speak. In Sleeping Dogs, it really feels stiff and uninteresting to me.

I'm about three hours in, maybe slightly more, and while the missions start off somewhat different, in 9 times out of 10, it ends with me surrounded by bad guys, and I gotta beat them up. Doesn't matter if I'm just going to pay someones unpaid lunch, or making an example of cheating street racer - my main objective is to beat someone/something up.

The game is ok, it's not a suckfest at all, but I personally wouldn't give it more than say a 6/10. So far at least.

im loving it so far, been playing it 6 hours straight today, i love the gta-ness of it all, nothing new here just gta goodness, only thing that makes it better than the other clones is the great fighting system, only thing i dont get is the insane amount of money they give u, im sitting at 200 grand (should been 300 but i blew 100 grand on a cock fight lol), although i have seen a car go for 465 k at a dealer so theres def stuff to spend it all on

what makes it fun is the missions are very diverse, much more than gta's drive from point a to point b. its about time somebody made a free roam kung fu beatem up

driving is not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. sure its not perfect, but its perfectly manageable, cars dont act realistically but sometimes thats a good thing, driving is a breeze, i hardly if ever crash into anything, only think is the ramming button makes it way to easy to get police off your tail, i would of liked it better without it

I remember, when GTA IV came out, people saying the driving was bad there as well and yet I fully enjoyed it; and till this day I think it's a standard for open world driving games.

De gustibus, I suppose.
