Can you get the lockboxes to show up on your map? Also is there a 15% triad xp set somewhere?

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Thanks for the tips. I like that dating three women at once is actually referenced with Tiffany's "cheating" subplot. When I was following her I was asking "Why is this a surprise, and why do you care, Wei?" The fact that Tiffany called Wei out on that was good. Part of me wonders if it's possible to only date one (although it looks like Amanda is a required quest, and I think you can't do Not-Ping until after a date with Tiffany, so I guess not). On the other hand, having three girls makes Wei seem more like a player who doesn't care too much, making it slightly less likely that they'll be used as leverage against him later.

The lockboxes are reasonably far down the plot/triad missions (green) and specifically after you meet then date Illyana on a mission for Sonny Wo. The 15% triad set needs 7 face and you buy the pieces from different stores, they should be on the map.

If no then just get Nightmare in Northpoint if it's cheap. Skip on Zodiac Tournament until it's like $2. NiNP is good at like $5 or less.

Also, if you're willing to go out of your way to do so you can grab most of the Jade Statues as soon as they become available, but the difficulty doesn't ramp up so fast that you have to get them right away.

I thought the drunk fighting style DLC was fun, it gives you some new combat tricks when you fill up your face meter (Wei chugs some liquor and now you can crush people with your rear end). I just wish you didn't have to wear a specific pre-set outfit to use it. But yeah, if you only get one, Nightmare in Northpoint is the best.

The Face XP boosting stuff is accessories like sunglasses, chains, and watches, so you can wear it with other gear.

I'll put it this way -- you don't need any DLC until you finish the main story, and at that point you'll know which ones you want. As far as Wei being a player, I felt like that was a result of his need to maintain emotional distance as a result of his undercover status.

Yeah, dude's just a slut. It's great that the Amanda "romance" implies he's the one being used for sex though.

Anyone else have troubles with the radio being generally lovely and unresponsive? Playing PC now, butI had the same problems on 360 so I assume it's an issue with the code itself. Songs will almost always be "just starting" on stations, stations will stay silent for a long time, stations won't want to change. I was hoping that the PC version might have a fix for this? The radio is cool but if it takes the entire duration of my car ride to start working, it's pretty useless.

Just beat this game. Hot drat it was awesome. Definitely buying the sequel when it comes out. Nightmare looks pretty fun, but I'm not buying it at full price. Hopefully it'll go on sale in the future. Even without it, one of the best cinematic gaming experiences I've played, good on so many levels.

I got this game in the recent Steam holiday sale but hadn't gotten around to playing it until the past week or so. I'm pretty far through the main story (just got Jackie out of a sandy coffin  and have unlocked everything except for the last two Triad XP unlocks.One thing I noticed about the races is that they are monumentally easier if you just bought the right vehicle for it. I was easily acing Class A car races in my Panzer but couldn't even finish in the top 3 in the Class B race Crippling Road. It wasn't until I bought a Terre GT that I finally won it—and I won the race very handily, easily outclassing every other car in the race within the first 10% of it. I could crash on every turn and come to a dead stop and still win it. I think that was a poor choice in racing design, or maybe it was a clever comment on how it's always the equipment and never the skill? For the record, I am loving awful at all GTA-style games' racing minigames. Also, Sleeping Dogs is the one game whose glitches make me really wish I always had FRAPS running in my play times.

I'm not sure about not being able to change stations, but yeah, the radio system is a little wonky. It's a shame, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem like anyone knows how to fix it. If it worked just a little bit better, I could see myself booting up the game regularly just to cruise around, beatin' dudes up, but no dice.

The last thing I expected when I bought this game was for the music to be so good. Now I just wish it would keep playing when I get out of the car. Need a DLC to give Wei an MP3 player and some headphones.

If there was one thing SR2 did right over anything its sandbox competitors did it was letting my listen to Bossa Nova while strolling around the sidewalk.  With all the bluetooth and smartphone poo poo out there I'm REALLY surprised there isn't more "out of car" music listening. But I could almost understand, because it makes the available music for the game seem that much shorter (because you'll listen to all of it quicker). That said, more games should allow compatibility for custom soundtracks or at least playlist. Hell, Scarface on the PS2 let me listen to Body Rock and Don't Believe The Hype anytime I pleased. And that was under the assumption that Tony Montana carried a WALKMAN. That didn't ruin my suspension of disbelief for a second.

Indeed, this game has some pretty great music, and it helps that it's not like the music in pretty much any other game of its type.The Deadly Hume posted:Listening to music while on foot takes away one of your key senses.

This game is really great, but I'd love some pointers on the combat besides the hint stuff, I'm getting consistently owned by the backup on the Benny mission and it's rage-inducing. I've tried using the fish from the tank, going for that one guy's knife, environmental attacks, everything. Counters only seem to work a third of the attempts or fewer.

If you have the Screen Legends DLC, the Wing Chun Master outfit makes combat a lot easier. It increases the window to do a counter by enough to make it easier to do than fail to do. I just ran through most of the game wearing it myself.

If you're button mashing counter, it puts in a delay for every failed attempt. Just wait for them to start moving. Remember you can counter even in the middle of one of your own moves, just try not to counter when you don't need to.

Nightmare in North Point is on sale for like £2 just now, definitely pick it up if you enjoyed the main game. I hadn't touched Sleeping Dogs for a while after completing it, is there any more  way to revisit a game than to slam the vengeful undead repeatedly in the door of your supercar?Not counting being a Shaolin monk mowing them down while perched atop a wheelying motorbike, sword in hand.

Is the Shaolin monk part from NiNP too, or is that another DLC? I really need to pick up NiNP when I have the money...

Holy poo poo. I decided to try and get a plat in this game, which I never do, and after running all over the map collecting lockboxes there's one that's just not there. Behind the K-Bar, I can see where the uncollected box is on the map, I watched a youtube video and saw someone get it, but in my game the box just isn't there. I could have saved myself a lot of really boring play time collecting boxes if I had an idea this would happen. Quitting and reloading doesn't make it reappear.

Anyone in here have a spare $5 Amazon promo code that you don't plan on using for this month? If so would you be able to buy Sleeping Dogs using it, and I will pay you back via PayPal? I'd really appreciate it! http://steamcommunity.com/id/NeedlesKane

So I know that NiNP was relatively well received as content DLC (anyone want to estimate the length? 1 hour? 2?), but how is the Zodiac Tournament? I had preordered the game back when it came out and poopsocked through it, but now that the DLC is on sale on steam, I was thinking of making another go at it. Opinions on what to pick up?

I just started the game and it's pretty awesome, but I need to get used to not mashing buttons during melee combat. Is a controller recommended? I used the mouse and keyboard and had a hard time with the martial arts tutorials. Also, I should probably stay away from drug busts where the thugs have guns, at least for now.
