McDragon posted:I know it's immature, but "my cock is the best" gives me the giggles every time. That and riding a taxi somewhere, hijacking it when you get there, then stuffing the driver in the trunk. Just throwing people in their own trunks cracks me up so much. When I replayed the wedding shopping mission recently I made a point of fighting the monk at the main gate and tossing him into the trunk of the car that I drove Peggy home in. Consider it my wedding gift!

I loved that mission so much. Every part of it is just great. I mean gangsters trying to spoil another gangster's wedding by stealing the cake? Bullshitting a bunch of monks then beating them senseless? Then you get to the next mission and

I had low hopes for the cake's survival after I rammed the van off the road, through a fence and over several pedestrians. Peggy seemed happy to get it back though.

As someone who has planned and executed a Hong Kong style wedding, this whole mission sequence was triggering and I have reported this to the mods on the Sleeping Dogs Official Forums. But, seriously, I did get flashbacks about dress searching, food, bottles, we did all that stuff ourselves and people here do it big. It's more like a show, not a party. Luckily we turned ours into a party and it worked out.

KillHour posted:This is exactly what I did. I wonder if anyone's ever done a pacifist play-through. I did when I wrote the guide. Or at least tried to. There's a number situations you can't avoid killing people in though, mostly for practical reasons. I also refuse to see any forced melee combat as 'less than lethal', because Wei is a brutal dude. I don't think anyone who saw me running through the game at the office was prepared for how vicious some of the environmental takedowns are. Dude gets thrown into a phone booth then kicked IN THE THROAT, he's probably going to die unless an ambulance gets there in minutes, and in Sleeping Dogs Hong Kong, that probably isn't going to happen. I'm happy so many people are enjoying the game, mostly because I think with a bigger budget (and not getting the game abandoned by one publisher and left in limbo for some time) would probably work wonders for a sequel.

If you have finished the game then you probably also used the hand held circular saw that you use for cutting off padlocks and reappears when you are being tortured I was fighting a group of guys when I saw someone run up with a gun, and I instinctively tackled a nearby pedestrian, took his umbrella, and threw it at the guy, killing him and netting me the achievement.

The Kins posted:The October DLC releases have been announced Well, I'm glad that the new batch of DLC isn't just item packs. I haven't bought any DLC except the retro triad pack and I was honestly disappointed in the vehicle you get. I was hoping for an 80's Celica hatchback or a DeLorean or some poo poo, I don't know. I would probably throw down for more mission content, though. I liked this game so much that I decided to plat it a second time on another profile. I hit up the a back-alley massage place for the face boost and the rub and tug girl asked me if I had a favorite country, France or Greece. While I prefer France, what I really wanted was around-the-world (and back)  E: Greece-to-France would have been alright titties fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Sep 21, 2012 |

I finished the game today. I had a lot of fun, maxed out all upgrades aside from the triad upgrades. I really liked the fact I never had to go search for the jade statues and just came across all of them naturally once I had the minimap upgrade. Ninja tune radio was all I ever listened to when I was in a car. The ending was good too. I was expecting something closer to the Korean film A Bittersweet Life but I'm not complaining.

It is pretty funny that you lose cop points for running a little bit into a wall in situations where no-one is watching, and even if they were you are undercover so they would have no idea you were a cop. The only possible way this makes sense is if Wei is putting everything into his reports and losing points retroactively when a higher-up reads the report. "It says here that the officer was involved in a daring rooftop chase, slid across a table, jumped a huge gap, but then ran slightly into a wall. Dock him 5 points, clumsy bastards like that bring the whole force ito disrepute".

Well I just 100%ed the game for a second time, took me 33 hours on the Xbox compared to 42 hours on the PS3 first time around. Still brilliant even at the end of a second full playthrough, and I'm left wanting more despite dumping so many hours into it already. That's some fine gaming right there. I found the ending more satisfying this time, there were a bunch of little moments all through the story that were just more enjoyable because I was aware what they were nodding to. Game of the year, without a doubt. (Though I won't cry if someone wanted to say Journey instead, because that was pretty special too.) Certainly a magnificent sandbox title that is up there with the very best in the field. I'm going to buy all that DLC. All of it. Those cool dudes at United Front need to take all my money. I. Love. This. Game.

Anyone figure out a way to get the full three triad shields in Night Market Chase, and do you get an big bonus for full-three or only slightly more than "almost three"? As an alternative to buying the gold or silver packs, I've opted to only do cop/face/triad missions while wearing the corresponding outfit set, got myself a full Blue Lantern Triad set so far (+5% Triad XP), may have a Police Constable (+5% Triad XP) and a +5% Face XP set already. Oh, for anyone new who has problems dealing with grapplers in open-world combat -- the game doesn't mention that as soon as you go from Night Market Chase to Open World, you can jack a cop for his handgun and keep it on you, then use that to take down the grappler (and truthbetold any thug in your way in Open World).

Chortles posted:Anyone figure out a way to get the full three triad shields in Night Market Chase, and do you get an big bonus for full-three or only slightly more than "almost three"? I've gotten all three shields on that one. It's easier if you don't have any damage upgrades so the fights last a little longer. Get the Mountain Master triad set before starting the mission and do your best to not kill anyone quickly. Use the environmental attacks for a triad point boost but only after you've countered / tackled / punched the guy first. Same with the leg-break > ninja kill combo. It will get you about 80 points for "heavy attack" and "stun followup" or whatever, but milk those guys for more points first since it's an instant kill. E: A good mix of striking, grappling, Also, I never noticed any kind of bonus for filling them all. E2: For anyone having a hard time with grapplers, my advice is to slow down and learn to recognize what type of attack they're using. Their attacks fall into one of 4 categories: Standard attack (countered by tapping triangle) Grapple into strike (countered by tapping circle) Collar-and-elbow (countered by tapping triangle) waistlock into bodyslam (countered by MASHING THE HELL out of triangle) Once you recognize which animations are countered by which buttons grapplers become pretty easy. Just take your time with them and be sure you've read them right before pressing anything. titties fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Sep 25, 2012 |

I'm glad the second to last mission turned out like it did, even if it does end up being a bit silly because of it. In that Wei recovers quite fast for a guy who just got tortured, and is soon back to his usual fighty self. I guess drowning a guy in his own piss cheered him up. The last mission was pretty great too. Just went postal with a rifle and the slow motion, threw a couple of dudes into an aquarium, threw a triad boss into an ice chipper. Normal sort of stuff for this game. The Dim Mak is really fun to use. And I like how long you can keep the slow-motion going when there's a bunch of guys around and you can just headshot them all. Oh, and the slow-motion you get when aiming a gun while driving. Sometimes I just like to mess about with the radio using that. And opening the car door to hit bikers and pedestrians is always good fun.

Chortles posted:Sounds like it was a glitch to begin on PS3 then -- I deleted the 1.02 game install data for PS3 and recreated a game install data and used a video to find where the Central apartment would be, but the doors wouldn't open just by Wei walking into them. Well, while I did open up those safe-houses on the PS3, I did not open up the Central one that way, I got to it through story missions before I had stumbled into the boathouse and thought to look for the Kennedy Town safe-house. So maybe hit those up and see. Although for all I know it could be that this isn't possible until you get the Central one.

Great fights, great missions, great tunes, great game. I love finding out new stuff even after putting so many hours into the game. Was doing some fight clubbing and found out that you can bash guys' heads into the wall by using dragging them to a wall and hitting grapple again. I used to just grapple them and run them into a wall, but doing it this way leaves a huge bloodstain on the wall and looks so brutal. The full soundtrack playlist is on YouTube here.

Have to say, Wei's left shoulder/upper arm tattoo be a deity worshipped by both the Hong Kong police and the triads is one of the best subtle touches in this game  you may recognize him from the options menu, and there's a portrait of him in Sifu Kwok's school.

I finally managed to get level 10 Triad points. Too bad it didn't happen until I fed BSL into the chipper. Ah well. Btw, is there a map somewhere of all the blackmarketer selling stuff for your apartments? I'd liked to see everything that's avaliable to pad out my cushy homes. And I swear one of them sold me a dead bird. I know they say it doesn't make a noise making it a perfect pet but seriously...
