Is this definitive edition going to be just "better graphics plus all dlc" or are there some other changes planned as well? Mainly I'm hoping for real 4 player Hong Kong mahjong instead of the asinine poker mahjong we got in the original. That was pretty much the only real disappointment for me in that game.

Why did you have to go onto some dumb gambling barge anyway? Mahjong parlors are legal and all over the place in Hong Kong.

Would've been nice if that trailer actually compared the graphics so we could see the difference.

Graphics comparison videos are pretty much pointless due to compression, unless the difference is absolutely massive you probably won't be able to see the full scope of it; uncompressed comparison screenshots are really the only way to see it all for sure.

That looks really great. Love the increased traffic + pedestrians. SE did similar pricing with the Director's Cut of Deus Ex. I'll gladly pay $15 for an upscaled version that includes the remaining DLC packs I haven't purchased yet.

The one silver lining to the whole Sleeping Dogs Sequel As Multiplayer Thingy cloud was that maybe this time you could be a cool lady gangster. Looks like I'll be giving this one a miss!

E.g. RMB is now lock-on instead of "enter car" You know, screw it. Even if it's just Sleeping Dogs: More People and quality-of-life changes, the price is not exactly steep. I'm throwing in.

Is more pedestrians a good thing? I was pretty annoyed playing The Saboteur because the sheer number of pedestrians, combined with a "hit a pedestrian and the resistance will like you less" mechanic, made it a PITA to just have fun driving cars around.

The main story now has cop sidequests (not just the regular cop missions, more like random crimes). I just took down some drug runners by ramming the poo poo out of their car and tasering the dudes when they got out.

Can one of you confirm/deny if poker mahjong is still in or if it's been replaced with something more like this? I know it sounds silly but if real Hong Kong mahjong is in then holy poo poo I'll buy two copies. That was the only thing I was left wanting from the original.

Important question - does the game run better or worse after the upgrades? Iv got an old machine and was already burned once by a "definitive edition" turning the game from playable to unplayable.

I bought the upgraded version because it's a good excuse to play through the game again, and it looks really good! Except for Wei, who looks a lot, uh... paler? He looks kinda sickly in cutscenes. Dude's got some clammy-looking hands. The population density change is noticeable if it's actually real and not just a placebo, and the graphical changes aren't all THAT different but it's definitely welcome either way. Also, selling the DLC outfits via a vendor instead of just dumping 10+ overpowered outfit sets on you at the start was a good idea. edit: Possibly the one downside is that the PC version assumes you're using the next gen console controllers, so I was a little confused when the game popped up with the Xbone's dumb picture-in-picture rectangles lookin button instead of the 360's back button. Other than that though I have absolutely 0 complaints about the changes! CJacobs fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Oct 11, 2014 |

So, Death by a Thousand Cuts. That's the DLC sidemission where you have the unbreakable golden cleaver and are supposed to cut your way through as many knife guys as you can without dying. Not too bad, right? Good way to grind some Triad EXP too. The objective has also changed in the Definitive Edition, there's now 30 guys in total you need to kill to complete the mission. Really not too bad, right? Well, yeah, except now the knife guys are using poisoned blades and the counter window is really weird, so it's almost impossible to counter them reliably and you just get hosed up almost immediately. On my best run so far I've managed to kill 11 guys, usually I die before I reach ten. Guess I'll come back when I have all the upgrades, maybe then I'll have a slight chance of surviving this.

For those interested in the definitive version, you might want to take at this Face-off by Eurogamer The PC video at the bottom made me decide not to get it, even though I'm a huge fan of the game. I'm interested where the increased draw distances actually appear on PC. I talked about "fake/LOD scenes" before - which are especially apparent while in the sea and it kind of kills the mood. Would anyone with a definitive version with maxed out settings mind making a video of approaching Central with a boat from afar. Note whether the skycraper models are "off-model" as you appear. (At least originally, it appeared as you might as well have been looking a completely different skyline as you approached the city, it changes that drastically).

I beat this by ditching the cleaver. The counter window isn't weird, there just isn't a 'takeover' animation unless you've unlocked the face meter disarm ability. The dodge doesn't offer any crowd control so you have to be on point to beat this. Ditching the cleaver will fix all of that and make this challenge pretty easy.

I can counter the first slash easily, but the second one hits me even though I swear I'm pressing the button at the right time. Whatever, I'm ditching the cleaver next time. I was actually wondering if that would help.

Triad Wars beta doesn't let you choose which hard drive the game is installed to and since I signed up for it using a Steam account I can't ask them about the issue because their forums only allow for username/pw or Facebook login, not Steam.

So are the jobs added by the DLC also required for 100% competition? If so, any tips for those stupid Wheels of Fury Derby challenges? I'm having real trouble killing the required 30 cars in 3 minutes. EDIT: OK, the "Cop Jobs" are required for 100% but not the extra Wheels of Fury stuff with the clock icons. Good because gently caress those Derby challenges. Wiseblood fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Oct 27, 2014 |

What DLC should I be turning off if I don't want to bypass a shitload of progression in the game? I turned off the top dogs and high roller ones already but I want to make sure I'm not missing any other crazy ones.

The Red Envelope one also gives you free money but it is, at least, optional free money you have to actively go out to get and not just dumped on you. That's the only other one as far as I can see though.

I just replayed through the SD:DE. Hong Kong has become a magical setting for me in videogames. It was my favorite part of Deus Ex, it was...the setting of Shenmue 2 (whatever you have to say about Shenmue, it had great environments), and Sleeping Dogs is a real gem. The only thing is that I wish there was more "gangster poo poo" to do in the game. I like being a gangster in games, and character-wise, I think Wei does too. Halfway through the game Wei becomes a red pole, and he spends almost literally no time makin' that paper from that point on in the story. Even though I understand he's a cop who's not in it for profit, he's the head of the Water Street Boys at that point. You don't get passive income from the Night Market, so there must be some fun criminal activity to do to keep up appearances at that point. As a minor version of that, something that wouldn't have taken the developers time to add extra missions, I would have liked to see the hold-up mechanics (way back) from Vice City in the game. It would have given you something to do with the guns you got in the open world.

I'm having real trouble killing the required 30 cars in 3 minutes. For the derbies, find an intersection without many side streets for cars to spawn on, and just use the turrets. If you keep blowing up oncoming cars in a timely fashion, they'll keep spawning, but if you let them get past you, they'll drive around for a bit. Most of them took me a few tries and I generally consider myself Good At This Game, whatever that means. Yodzilla posted:So the Triad Wars beta starts tonight. Anyone get in/care about it?? I've gotten in and I've found at least one other SA poster (and smashed up his safehouse and stolen his stuff - sorry, friend~). Is there a better place to post about it? I'm not sure what is ~okay~ with the NDA and what is saying too much but, parts of it are really interesting and neat. Parts are a little alarming. But the vast majority just isn't accessible/implemented yet. It is a real beta, with bugs and lots of menu options greyed out. A lot of people are really pessimistic but I've found some stuff to enjoy. I'm also now one of the highest level/face level people in the beta, as far as I can tell. Given how awesome Sleeping Dogs was, I'm reserving judgment until UFG puts out a little more info/the beta progresses more.

You don't need to do that anymore. Right click the game in Steam and choose the 'DLC' tab on the Properties menu to install/uninstall DLC at will. I don't have most of the DLC for the original because I own the definitive edition but they will be listed here: And then you can pick which ones you want to use.
