Yea that game was awesome, loved that you could change up your fighting style based on the type of clothing you picked. Drunken Master and Wing Chun were fun as hell to use.

I guess Square Enix don't like money. Sleeping Dogs sequels could rival GTA in terms of sales and popularity.

Wait, it sold that much? I thought it had flopped to be underwhelming.

Fuck em, it was a great game and if it sold that much, were the expecting the top seller ever?

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they were told to stop making sequels because the main character is a bad ass alpha ass Chinese male. It would make Asians/Chinese dudes look good. If the main character was a Ken Jeong or William Hung type then they would make sequels.

Wait, WHAT?

Also:

I fucking loved that game. I honestly found the driving mechanics to be the best in the genre, and of course the fistfighting was leagues beyond GTA.

Don't remember enough about the shooting to comment.

...I need to get this game again.

Yeah my favorite was the wing chun outfit because you could perform the ip man punch combination and feel like a badass.

It was a good game, but a bit overrated tbqh
Like, I don't know how anyone can call it better than GTA V when it has such bad driving mechanics, and the shooting was just garbage

Although Sleeping Dogs has an excellent story and outstanding gameplay, it failed to meet sales expectations. The game only sold 1.5 million copies despite being positive reception from critics and gamers alike. Its poor sales caused Square Enix to lose millions of dollars and cancel any future sequels.

Why do people lie it lost square millions that's why sequels were canned

I barely noticed because I never had a fucking gun. The main combat of SD was hand to hand combat.

Well yeah it's kinda necessitated by enemies using guns against you. Basically any time guns come out in Sleeping Dogs it becomes less fun to play

Remember that review that was like "I can't relate to Asian people so I can't relate to this game"? Lmao

Also heard it was a downgrade compared to the Yakuza series.
I wouldn't really compare it to Yazuka. They are two different type of games.
That's like saying GTA and Yazuka are comparable. Neither are fair to the other.

True though some of those interactions I just rushed the enemies. We're there that many enemies with guns? I can't even remember anymore.

You clearly underestimate how much GTA games sell. Sleeping Dogs isn't anywhere in the same ballpark as GTA and I say that as someone who likes the game.

Even though it wasnt a massive success commercially, im still surprised its received this well for a chinese themed game.

A lot of the cantonese the thugs speak while in combat arent subtitled and the foul language and swearing are always replaced by the typical english swear words which gets lost in translation.

Cantonese a rich language, it makes the game even better when you understand it. Then you have the 24herbs songs which are also great and themed exactly for this game.
