Sleeping Dogs (formerly True Crime: Hong Kong)

TheYardStick

Hey there guys, could anyone speculate on how much I could get for trading this in at either Gamestop, Xtravision or Gamesnash? I'm not usually one for trading in games (especially new games) , but with the slow summer for gaming I really tore into this when I got the chance!

I really enjoyed the game but with FIFA, Resi 6, Halo 4, Assassin's Creed, Borderlands 2, Hitman etc. being released in the coming months, I wouldn't say no to some extra cash.

Thanks!

You can send Pat (Gamesnash rep on Boards) a message in their boards. I'd say you'd get a better offer than somewhere in town and they also give credit for what you paid for postage.

Congrats... trying to find those lockboxes are a pain though I like that I get to beat thugs up beforehand. Not fan though the safe-crack minigame!

Has anyone played any of DLC? Do they add much/anything to the game?

The Fight Clubs are grand, between them and the races, I'm up at 10 Face and with the missions and Drug Busts, I'm at 7 or 8 cop, but still only 5 Triad. Tackling people to the ground in fight club is very useful.

Bought myself a Velocita mostly cause it was the most expensive one available and I wanted to see what the best of the best was

It corners like it's on bloody rails , break and turn at speed and it will immediately do a near perfect 90° turn

Got it a week ago and finished it last night. Great story, but predictable as hell. It wasn't until the credits I realised that it wasn't Nolan North voicing Wei, sounds exactly like him, must be his Hong Konger cousin.

The game itself was very enjoyable, what Saints Row the 3rd should have been like. Even though the movement was great the majority of the time, sometimes he just didn't do what I wanted him to.

The driving was ok, nothing special, and the bikes were crazy at class a.

Combat was fun, better than most other open world games but not quite Batman. Found the combat really easy once you've levelled up a bit, still managed to get killed a few times though when I wasn't really trying, which is good. Gunplay was great, as it wasn't overdone. Slow mo shooting was enjoyable and effective if you got a chain going and kept the slow mo going.

I have traded it in though. I didn't have everything collected but had all the main and side missions, races and favours completed. Only had a few cameras left and about 1/3 of the lockboxes left, but didn't want to collect them. Once the story was over, I was left wanting which is this games main downfall in my opinion. Oh, and only 2 dates with Amanda... Booo!

I got between €30-40 trade in for it, so now working on Darksiders 2 which is already beating this hands down (different games, I know).

I agree with you completely, I've just finished the bad luck mission and am at this stage grinding through just to finish it. A good game, will be using it to prebook Fifa shortly.

"My cock is the best!"

Definitely one of the funniest quotes in the game.

Ok finally done and dusted with this, 100% all achievments etc.

Overall great main story loved the city, but the whole thing now feels like saints row 1 , where I feel there will likely be another 2 games and the next one will be the best of the 3.

For all they had in the game outside of the main story (green), they could have done with more cases (blue) maybe? it's like the early saints/gta games with no aircraft and the boat missions where totally tacked on. the Radio stations where very poor indeed, I was expecting a breaking news story on there after something big went down.

Over all great game , though short lived no co-op and felt like it was missing something

I have a mission telling me "Find the marked Sparc" I keep going to it and telling its underground near club bam bam. I keep going to the waypoint and there nothing there. Any ideas?

Zero-Cool

I did that one a while ago. I called trent to start it but was up in central so I juat did some other missions and forgot about it. Then crusing around in north point, a way point automatically appeared as I was near the sparc car. If yoi cant find it, head off and do other missions

It's just a car driving around, you have to active hijack it or just get in when it's stopped at a light...

Saw something class last night, I was on a cop mission chasing a car on my motorbike. I knock down a civ and kill him (I only seem to kill civilians on cop missions!) Anyway, I'm stopped as I hit a wall and 1 of the guys who was with the dead guy runs over, takes out his phone and starts filming me. I move around him and he is following me with the phone.

Later, I was about to turn off the game, thought I would flying kick a few people. Another guy runs up, takes out his phone and starts filming me. I flying kick him and he flys back through the air dropping his can of coke. The can is on the ground spinning in circles being pushed by the spray of fizz shooting out from it being knocked down.

Thought those details were really impressive.

Finished it just now. Good game, and was just about the right length. Have it in my adverts.ie link for PS3 if anyone wants it a bit cheaper than the shops.

Zero-Cool

Can anyone tell me when you meet the girl who gives you the locations to the lockboxes? I'm just after handing

Dog Eyes

over to Mrs. Chiu, not sure how much of the story is left but loving it.

Lads,

I'm done my exams today...
I get home at around 6-7pm...
I have nothing planned for the next two weeks...
Sleeping Dogs is sitting in my CD Drive...
This binge is going to be SWEEEEEEEET!

Azza

I've got a major bug, all the cars in the game have dissappeared!

Can't select my own from the garage, and there is none either driving around or parked anywhere. Pretty bizzare.

Ilyana in the K Bar... though I think I met her there a bit later from where you are.
From what I remember it was during the

American Rapper

mission.

Finished it last night, good game and I thought just long enough. Got a bit bored towards the end. Now to pick a preorder Fifa or Pro Evo....Ah the joys of it.

Gah. This fight in Club Bam Bam (going by previous posts, there're two fights there, so it's the first one you do) is killing my soul. Keep getting surrounded and bludgeoned to death with about 3 hits of those weapons.


Smashing a guys face into an aquarium(?) upstairs is really fun though!
