Smaller than gta4, more restricting than gta4, doesn't look all that much better than gta4, but it's better? Yeah okay lol. Gta4 also came out years ago and still sets the bar.

chobit_A5HL3Y4267d ago

i just started it, but the hand to hand combat is much better than gta's~

AusRogo4267d ago

How could anyone disagree!? The hand combat in gta is terrible!

LOGICWINS4267d ago

Haven't played Sleeping Dogs yet, but I STRONGLY doubt that it has a more content than GTA4. But from what I've seen, the missions seem to be much more varied and entertaining than anything in GTA4. So all though there is less content in Sleeping Dogs, the content may be more entertaining than that of GTA4.

I dont care, its funner and thats what matters. The combat is the best for any sandbox box game, the gun play is better aswell as the races.

Racing really feels like a racing game where you actually feel a great difference from one car to the next unlike GTA where most cars feel the same. Theres no sence of Speed in GTA IV.

I Still have high hopes for GTA 5 and Im really looking forward to it and Im pretty confident it will deliever on all fronts and will be the best Sandbox game ever but with GTA iV Sleeping dogs is the victor for me, GTA iV's downfall was being to realistic.

@BOTTOM He said 4 not 5...

JellyJelly4267d ago

No fan of GTA IV. How does it compare to Saints Row the Third?

MaxXAttaxX4267d ago

But Sleeping Dogs has an actual hand-to-hand combat system that's far better in many ways.
Better flow of story, gunplay and driving.

It may not be as big as GTAIV, but it doesn't need to. It's really fun.

Awesome_Gamer4266d ago

I really hated how the map was so freaking small in Sleeping dogs, i also didn't like the fact they created a countryside area but it's locked and you can't acces because of invisible walls.

Umm, its a decent game but let's not play the "cool to hate on the big dog game". Gta5 eats this game for breakfast. Not even close. Nice try though.

LOGICWINS4267d ago

Yeah, from Ron Paul to Sleeping Dogs, people on the Internet always seem to blindly root for the underdog while hoping for the demise of the big names. I find it pretty stupid to be honest. Why does everything have to topple everything? Why can't everything just co-exist?

r214267d ago

So you're saying Sleeping Dogs is more like Under Dogs? Get it?
*crickets*

this joke was bad and i should feel bad :C

MaxXAttaxX4267d ago (Edited 4267d ago )

You know, it IS possible for people to honestly like Sleeping Dogs and have more fun with it.

So again, not that it's "cool to hate" on the bigger game. But GTAIV felt clunky in areas where Sleeping Dogs succeeds.
The hand-to-hand combat system is far better in many ways.
Better flow of story, free running, gunplay and driving.

It may not be as big or content packed, but it doesn't need to be. It's really fun and varied. The setting and theme are refreshing from the generic LA and NY cities in games.

IMO of course.

MaxXAttaxX4267d ago

So you played Sleeping Dogs AND GTA5? OMG tell me more!

/S

isarai4267d ago

Well, i can without a doubt say i had a shitload more fun in this than in GTA 4. It may not offer as much as GTA 4, but for a first game in a series, being the second only game made by the studio, a studio who is very small in comparison to most, in an engine built from scratch from the ground up, i say this was amazingly impressive, Saints Row 1 didn't even have this much love and effort put into it, and that was made by a highly funded acclaimed studio with a massive staff.

pr0digyZA4267d ago

GTA 5 probably not. But I am having more fun with SD than I did with GTA 4, I love hand to hand combat, love all the side missions (some of those are funny- taking pictures of a sunset with a character trying to be in the picture). gunplay is cool. Has awesome radio soundtrack, excellent story. Really I am sure they are just happy that people are putting them up as one of the top sandbox games like GTA especially considering their smaller team and much lower budget.

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_Brazil9d ago

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

isarai9d 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

CrimsonWing698d ago

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.

solideagle8d 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_Mal8d ago

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

DaReapa8d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal8d 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

boing18d ago (Edited 8d ago )

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.

watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.

LG_Fox_Brazil155d ago

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

xeniate149d ago

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

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.

gleepot355d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
