Sleeping Dogs Review - Duuro Magazine

Duuro says: Sleeping Dogs is an alright example of your typical sandbox game. I don't think it really pushes the excitement of open world past its limits, but it's still a fun game to play!"

The story should have gotten a higher score than a five. The story imho was one of the best things about this game has to offer.

FlameHawk3882d ago

Agreed, I was really emotionally attached to the characters and the story was very good.

Heisenburger3882d ago

It had one or two jaw dropping moments to me. Story wise, not action set piece wise.

I had a blast platinumING it.

_FantasmA_3882d ago

Way better than GTA for me. Good story, believable characters (except for Wei), sexy cards, fun fighting mechanics, cool clothes. Too bad the game wasn't longer. Also, i hated losing my guns after restarting a checkpoint, but otherwise the best game I've played this year so far.

zeal0us3882d ago

How wasn't Wei a believable character? I did wish they would've let you fought against 18K more. While I did hate losing my gun it did however made some missions more challenging. I did also like how the cops didn't ignore the fact you had a pistol, shotgun or rifle in your hand.

One of the things that had me laughing when I played GTA is that I could run around a weapons like Bazookas, RPGs and Flamethrowers and the cops would just keep walking as if I didn't even exist.

_FantasmA_3881d ago

Wei was likeable, but not realistic at all. I mean he was just too smooth, too perfect. A guy that is a cop but really is more gangster than anything and is just too smooth too really make the game feel like he had it hard. I think there needed to be more death defying situations or moments where Wei regretted the gangster lifestyle. Its almost like he was a gangster infiltrating the cops, not the other way around.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai4d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot350d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
