So when I was doing the cake delivery mission, I had to look up how to do an action hijack. From what I read, the tutorial is supposed to appear in the chase after the warehouse mission. I must've bugged it out or something because it never did and all I could do was beat the poo poo out of the cop car and just hope it wouldn't kill the driver. Did that happen to anyone else?

I'm loving this game. Throwing Tiffany's boyfriend in the trunk of the car and then slamming her head in the car door. Then Wei drove the car (with the boyfriend in the trunk) off the pier and watched as it slowly sank. Great fun! I commend the goon that suggested this many pages back! e: Today I became a whole man. I had both steamed and fried pork buns. But holy poo poo, the fried shrimp ball was delicious! nfthree fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Aug 7, 2013 |

canyoneer posted:Any thoughts on clearing out the thugs at drug busts with guns? If you show up swinging, they start shooting and I either die or shoot back and the cops show up. This was by far the hardest drug bust for me. Ended up going up to them and shooting a couple before jumping over the edge to the right. Then I just waited for them and the cops to duke it out, occasionally shooting a cop or a bad guy myself. Be sure to have the health/healthregen/etc buffs active. The other drug busts with gunmen (the sewage plants) are not that hard because cops won't show up. Just stay behind cover and headshot them one by one. Keep an eye on the minimap to spot the ones that will creep up on you from behind.

I thought that all drug busts with armed thugs have guns conveniently placed right next to them?

Yes, but that one drug bust in question is above ground, the gun available is just a pistol, and the cops turn up and it gets a bit wild. All the other locations are hidden away in the storm drains so you can deal with them in a more manageable way (including riding in on a boat and shooting in endless slow-mo from the helm).

The key to winning any firefight is to abuse the hell out of the vault slo-mo. That's arguably better than staying behind cover because you save ammo.

I played on PC and, thankfully the mouse/keyboard to controller switch was seamless so I could put my control down and blow all their heads off with relative ease.

torjus posted:Are you thinking of Sun Yat Sun Housing Complex? That's the one. I think I've run into one or two other above-ground guns available drug busts, but this one as you said isn't car friendly and there are a half dozen strapped dudes. The other ones you can do a couple smooth tackle-disarms to remove the guns from the equation, and then just beat everyone to death. Too many dudes here for that trick to work. I didn't think to hide out over the edge and let the cops do their thing. Surely the tattooed guy in a luchador mask watching the gang shooting won't look suspicious

I'm not sure if it's a bug or on purpose but a couple of times when the cops showed up I kept popping the drug dealers and once the last one went down the alarms stopped and the cops just walked away. Is this normal?

I'm loving this but I don't have a controller and the keyboard controls are really wonky. Any way to make this move like every other game out there, where the mouse moves the direction I'm facing and I can use it to turn rather than having to use WASD to turn and just having the mouse be a follow-along camera view?

Is this normal? Happened to me once or twice. I don't know if it was the cops not seeing me firing or the cops just "locked on" to the triads and then ignored me or what. also man triad XP why do you have to be so hard to grind? I can't figure out how to max it on Triad highway. I try to alternate tire shots and headshots but I never seem to make any XP at the end despite shooting approximately a million 18K bikes. I guess I'll have to replay some random plot missions. cop XP is easy as hell and having a cop car as my valet vehicle means I have an on-demand pump shotgun, which is nice except that it's inferior to the pistols

A bunch of it is, but others are pure pay-to-win -- as soon as you get your first apartment, you're basically granted enough XP to be at almost level 8 of 10 in all three progression trees if you buy both of the Top Dog packs -- while others are essentially early unlocks of what you can already gain in the game (i.e. the High Roller Pack) and the Red Envelope Pack is simply 1 million Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) scattered throughout Hong Kong Island in the form of twenty envelopes with 50000 HKD each. Frankly, with Sleeping Dogs it's less about what DLC to get and instead more of what DLC not to get.

The story dlc depends on what you want out of it. None of them add any new environments or any significant progress with the story. Wheels of Fury gives you a cool car to dick around with, though. And I'm a huge fan of zodiac tournament which introduces a cool mini-island and some legitimately great combat. Nightmare in North Point and Year of The Snake are... well, they're okay I guess. They do exactly what it says on the tin, no more no less.

Nightmare in north Point didn't feel like it was worth the price of admission even for the €2,- I paid for it. The new zombies are annoying, the elite ones are fun and so are the powers but it is literally maybe 50 minutes long.  And since I want to 100% this game I get to grind out zombies in that DLC now.

I did a fresh Windows install and I guess my near the end savegame got erased. I thought it was on the Steam cloud... Anyway, is there a save editor anywhere that is both current and has a working download link (I have found two that were each not one of those things), or barring that, a savegame archive? I like the game okay but not enough to play through the whole thing again. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Aug 2, 2013 |

How far into it were you? I might have some old saves lying around. e: although I wonder if DLC might cause incompatibilities in the save.

You can even use a later save and just replay the missions from the menu. It isn't perfect but would allow you to catch up that way too

I re-downloaded the game this morning and wow how much new content have I missed? i already had some of the early base DLC so I knew it boosts my abilities early in the game but man all of a sudden I have other game vehicles, Valve game t-shirts and even more bonuses from... something I don't know what!  Man I just started and I have nothing to work up to.

As I said about Sleeping Dogs before, it's more about what DLC not to get (the pay-to-win stuff is the Top Dog, High Roller, Red Envelope packs) than what to get, the rest are that good or at least that cheap.

Yeah the costume stuff is actually rather fun in Sleepy Dogs. Running around as Asian Adam Jensen is funnier than it has any right to be. So is replaying the game after year of the snake and doing as many triad mission as possible as beat cop Wei driving a police cruiser.

They do not. They just give you a few pre-selected abilities and let you go.

Yep they're kind of sandboxed into their own set up, so none of your assets transfer over. Having said that, they generally provide you with roughly middle tier level of skills or whatever which is quite adequate for the missions. They are best played after finishing the game though because they generally assume you have finished the game and contain spoilers otherwise.

By the way, is there any mod for the PC version of Sleeping Dogs that makes the police not magical? That's my least favorite part of the game.

Sadly no. There's basically no mods for sleeping dogs except I think a driving camera mod and a slow mo mod. UFG/Squeenix don't officially support modding but they've said they're okay with people doing mods as long as no one was posting cracks/online cheats. Unfortunately, the game files were.... very complicated and not particularly modding friendly. There was some progress towards an archive extracter/packer but they gave up on it at some point when they lost interest in the game. These images are about as close as we'll likely ever get to mods...

Hey can anyone help me out? I just got this game from my brother plus the big DLC pack and for some reason it keeps on causing my video driver to crash randomly when I access a menu or load. Also is there any way to turn off the xp granting DLCs or is it basically a case of just having to deal with it?
