Paracelsus posted:This is currently 50% of on Steam and 67% off on Amazon, but is the Complete DLC pack worth it? It's 2-3 times as much as the game itself, depending on where you buy it. I'd probably say no. There's a LOT of good DLC but a lot of the DLCs are costumes and there's a couple that kind of ruin the game by giving you a bunch of XP and money at the start and you can't turn them off. Here's a brief summary of them all: quote:I recommend: Also I've been playing through this again lately and it's made me want to go watch a bunch of the movies that inspired it. I know there were some big lists posted earlier in the thread but I can't for the life of me find them in the hundred odd pages. Anyone still have it?

No mention of the drunken martial arts style? That's the DLC that interests me the most! Good, bad, or ugly?

However, it has some awesome counters straight from Jackie Chan movies and is totally kick rear end to run through fight clubs with

I also imagine playing through the game as if it were Deus Ex is also awesome, looking through the bundle of treasures that is the Steam's collection of costume packs.

I didn't really delve into the costumes because there's a lot of them and ultimately they're just costumes and maybe a bike or something. I really like the Drunken Master and Magic Monkey ones though particularly.

Did I miss any discussions about how annoying the guy is who drops off cars? 'A car? DAC CLAW!..' And then he tells me not to wreck it. gently caress you. I'm a loving bad rear end gangster/cop. You're a loving lovely car valet. Have some respect. I try to beat him up and I try to run him over. He seems to be invincible.

Those are two different NPCs. Parking lot attendant NPC complains. Valet NPC is always upbeat. Also, I always took "don't wreck it too much" as sarcastic. He knows what's up.

The Bond car from the DLC mission is really neat, but I find I can't really use it to drive around because it is actually too fast to make corners, or even curves, in a normal fashion. Am I a bad player for finding vehicular homicide the optimal strategy for clearing drug bust sites? 8-ish dudes at once is a little much to take on normally.

Actually, if you get in the car quickly enough as the valet is pulling up, you can take the guy for a joyride. I've done it a few times, I like to think that's terrified in the passenger seat. Paracelsus posted:The Bond car from the DLC mission is really neat, but I find I can't really use it to drive around because it is actually too fast to make corners, or even curves, in a normal fashion. 8 isn't a big deal, but some of the later ones where it's closer to 20, with weapons, yeah - it's much easier to just run over a bunch of them.

Does this game work with MotioninJoy with a PS3 controller? I don't own a 360 controller and the keyboard/mouse combo isn't that great. Also I realized this game has a staggering amount of DLC. Which ones are with getting? buglord fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jul 16, 2013 |

Considering that the daily Steamsale involves EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF DLC for $14, I'm jumping on all of it. Hopefully I can disable the cheat-like ones (High Roller DLC, etc) while keeping the awesome ones, like the Adam Jensen outfit and the drunken master DLC.

Dr. VooDoo posted:Whats so bad about the High Roller DLC before I jump on this sale. Will it make the game lovely to play or something? The High Roller DLC isn't so bad, you get a car, an outfit, and $200,000... which you can use to buy more cars and outfits. Not that game breaking in the end. All it really means is you can get an A-rank car to do the A-rank races sooner and that you buy the expensive outfits so you can get 15% more of a bonus of something instead of 5% or 10%. The Red Envelope DLC isn't bad either, it just adds another 20 collectables of $50,000 each. Easy to ignore or spread out at your leisure. The ones you really don't want are the "Top Dog" DLC's, Silver or Gold. They give you bonus Triad, Police, and Face points which destroys any and all level progression in the game. Ghost of Mussolini posted:Is playing this without a controller viable? I ask mainly because of the emphasis on melee. I played the entire game with a mouse and keyboard and had 0 problems. The driving may give you troubles if you want the greater precision that a stick can give you, but other than that its great. Kibayasu fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jul 16, 2013 |

Bleh, sleeping dog goes on sale with all the DLC at 75% off when I bought the flash deal.  Worth every dollar though. It's a rather delightful game in a rough around the edges yet appealing package such as The Saboteur. It's not mindblowingly original but the mishmash is really good, emphasis on melee and environmental attacks from yakuza but hong kong action cinema which is an excuse to pack in just cause mayhem.  A minor gripe is how drifting kills your momentum (and clean driving bonus!) more than just releasing forward and hard turning, definitely noticeable in races but story missions don't really suffer from it. I'd definitely like to see a sequel, I'm only 12 hours in but I can see sleeping dogs as a good formula, more so since activision snubbed its nose at it for some insane reason. Ghost of Mussolini posted:Is playing this without a controller viable? I ask mainly because of the emphasis on melee. Melee is fine since you don't need to stay in lock on mode which can be a little annoying at times. The real benefit is positioning yourself to beat up someone so that you don't get grappled from behind but you can perform a yakuza back kick even out of lock on mode, liberal use of counters and grapple invincibility frames does the trick so far.

I'm enjoying this game since picking it up a couple days ago in the Steam sale. But you dudes weren't kidding; holy poo poo 90% of the DLC leans toward being either game-breaking or completely retarded. Steam should really have an option to disable DLC. Thank christ I could easily remove most of them via the .dat method, so my gritty first-playthough Wei, wearing his wife beater and sleeping on pee-stained mattress, isn't simultaneously a billionare supercar-driving mythical ancient Chinese superhero. The only dumb poo poo that's still loitering around is the Just Cause 2 outfit that the game checked and foisted on me without asking, but whatever. I love Saints Row and its million crazy DLC outfits, vehicles, etc, but this ain't Saints Row. This is my serious kung fu crime cinematic sandbox adventure and shoehorned wackiness can gently caress right off. <  >

Is there any way to break up a preset outfit? Like I'd love to get the Square Enix pack and wear Jensen's jacket without the sunglasses for example. Or the Rico outfit from JC2 without the arm blade thing.

I did some searching and one person on a forum suggested wearing your preset, then saving it as a custom outfit, then tweaking the custom outfit. I'm not sure if this will work because nobody replied to that thread with "yeah!" or "this doesn't work." I'll try it later, see if it works. I expect I'll lose any associated bonuses, but that's no big deal.

Did anyone else like popping baddies with point blank tear gas canisters in Year of the Snake? I felt that outside that, and the grapple stuns (press and hold more more zzapin'!) the DLC was a bit lacking though, with quite an anticlimatic ending. Is any more substantial DLC being planned or is that it until SquareEnix decides to grace us with SD2?

Sleepydawgs is pretty good if you want something with more grounded characters/stories. While Saintsrow is great if you like good dumb writing and goofy rear end setpieces. No comment on GTA4.

Saints Row 3 is way whackier and crazier in general but Sleeping Dogs has really good melee combat. If I had to choose just one Sleeping Dogs is probably the best but I really liked Saints Row 3 as well.

I've played all of those games and Sleeping Dogs is seriously the most refreshing take on the genre in a long time. I think Rockstar fell into a rut with GTA4, Saints Row 3 isn't really a finished, complete product, but Sleeping Dogs is and is amazing.
