Sleeping Dogs Review | Paste

Paste writes: I can’t really blame Sleeping Dogs for existing. Producing a John Woo/GTA mash-up is effectively a license to print money. It’s a no-brainer. Equally obvious, though, is the potential inherent in such a combination, and there ends up being something joyless and unfulfilling about Sleeping Dogs’ execution.

Its a good game, not great, but good fun. a 77 would be my pick but thats fine.

stecarter914298d ago

Each to their own but i think the game is a little better than described here. Admittedly not perfect but it is still a fine example of an open-world game. It would be ignorant to think that it would be perfect given its rough development.

MagneticDeath4298d ago

Personally i would give it at least an 8 having a lot of fun with this game.

MagneticDeath4298d ago

Guess i wouldnt give it an 8 and i dont enjoy this game. Thanks for the disagree, guess i was lying about my opinion.

Aceman184298d ago

id actually give it a 9 and up its just more fun than gta4

WetN00dle694298d ago

Better than the over rated GTA 4 ill tell you that much!

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil46d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai46d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6946d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle46d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal46d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa45d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal45d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.

LG_Fox_Brazil192d ago

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

xeniate187d ago

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot392d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
