IsaacPlaystation321 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 coming from playing GTA V I bought this game and had a look see. and I'm going to go over a few things that I didnt like 1. the fighting mechanics sucks , I've seen better hand to hand melee combat in Batman Arkham City 2. the driving part of the game was a big letdown for me because when comparing to GTA's driving mechanics, Sleeping Dogs made it feel that the cars where glued to the streets or something like they are not that loose. Playing GTA all my life I see that Sleeping Dogs driving skills is no match for GTA 3. usually a game like this should have a fold in map in the box but it didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryisonfire Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Comparing this to GTA V is just plain stupid, no offence. It's a much older game, by a different developer. Why would you expect a map? I mean really, how many actual sandbox games, apart from R*, actually do that?

LiKuidd Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 the 3rd point .... wow -__-" ... i'm give this as you just being sarcastic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester191 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The combat is way better than Arkham games. Arkham's is catered for babies, you can pretty much dodge infinitely. The game has an in-game map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSqUiD Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It was fun when it came out because there wasn't as many good games as there is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrikk Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Comparing this to GTA V is just plain stupid, no offence. It's a much older game, by a different developer. Why would you expect a map? I mean really, how many actual sandbox games, apart from R*, actually do that? This. The first point just isn't true cause the fighting is just fine, better the most sandbox games. Second point is true with the "glued to road" feel but in no way was that a bad thing towards to game itself and it being compared to something on the scale of GTA5 isn't even fair... And I don't even want to comment on the third point cause... Just wow. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labartu Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The combat is way better than Arkham games. Arkham's is catered for babies, you can pretty much dodge infinitely. Sleeping Dogs combat system sucked balls when you started out, it improved once you've gotten a few upgrades, but calling it way better than Arkham's free flow combat? No. The combat system was fine once you've gotten certain upgrades, but before that point, it was plain terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipsy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Personally I loved this game; it may not be better than GTA V but it sure as hell kicks GTA IV's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBO3AG13 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 personally I thought it was better than GTA V :] the combat system in GTA V sucks! the story is too damn short! unlike sleeping dogs which will keep you busy for longer! V felt rushed a little and i'm sure some people who post on this thread will agree with me :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfree7 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The fighting was not easy but once you get the hang of it, was quite fun. No this is not GTA but still enjoyed it. Sorry to hear you didn't Isaac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twyz Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 personally I thought it was better than GTA V :] the combat system in GTA V sucks! the story is too damn short! unlike sleeping dogs which will keep you busy for longer! V felt rushed a little and i'm sure some people who post on this thread will agree with me :] I platinumed Sleeping Dogs in 10 days. It took me over two weeks to finish GTA V's story. Anyways, I did like Sleeping Dogs. But I thought it had too many chase sequences. It seemed like every mission had you chasing somebody, either in a car or on foot. And it never told you if you had to catch the person, or just follow them until they got to their destination. I found that really annoying.

Eris Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The fighting was not easy but once you get the hang of it, was quite fun. No this is not GTA but still enjoyed it. Sorry to hear you didn't Isaac. Combat was actually very simple. Press and hold square a couple of times, circle to grab and throw them against things. And I don't see how people would struggle unless they didn't care about countering. Arkham City's was good in a sense that it was very fluid, which I think is what OP meant. My issue with the game is its plot. I'm around 75% in it, and it's really just a mess at times. I feel no connection with the characters, because events happen too sudden as so much story gets left out of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeeks Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 The problem is you're comparing everything to GTA, Play it for the game it is, Enjoy the story, Absorb it and you will enjoy it far more. Judge it as Sleeping Dogs and not a gta clone. I'm a huge fan of GTA but I also loved Sleeping Dogs. I thought the combat was smooth, Felt like I was doing serious damage, Once you have the hang of the counters you can take down anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakuuhxc Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Sleeping Dogs is one of my favorite games this generation. Pure fun, absorbing story, fluid combat and driving, what's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICPosse8 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Really? It took me a week to complete GTA V and about 2 days to complete SD. Same here. Sleeping Dogs was a great game for its own reasons and the combat was MUCH better than IV and is still better than V but the Arkham games have better combat than both games. For the first entry in the series Sleeping Dogs was an excellent title with a lot to do and like people have stated before comparing it to the likes of GTA is like comparing NFL Street to Madden.

DaJay99 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Comparing it to GTA is not fair. Scope, budget and brand are way to different that said, I enjoyed SD far more than I did GTAIV. It was simply fun, great story and a simple game to play. I can't properly compared it to GTAV cuz I haven't finished the story, but the scope dwarfs SD from the get go.

BSH 1975 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 coming from playing GTA V I bought this game and had a look see. and I'm going to go over a few things that I didnt like 1. the fighting mechanics sucks , I've seen better hand to hand melee combat in Batman Arkham City 2. the driving part of the game was a big letdown for me because when comparing to GTA's driving mechanics, Sleeping Dogs made it feel that the cars where glued to the streets or something like they are not that loose. Playing GTA all my life I see that Sleeping Dogs driving skills is no match for GTA 3. usually a game like this should have a fold in map in the box but it didn't Well SD had something GTA didn't have (IMO): An interesting story line that I wanted to finish. I can't think of one GTA that I had finished...I just lost interest at around 60% gameplay. I mean it all looked fantastic and all, but I want a great storyline that SD provided me and GTA didn't. again IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I didn't care for Sleeping Dogs either. Then again, it's also a Square Enix title and the people who run that company are a bunch of brainless fucktards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodNewsOke Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I haven't played GTA V but I did play IV and I found SD to be really good. The story was engaging, the characters were good, the combat fluid and the city had a good size. I also helped that SD had a cohesive tone (unlike GTA IV). I will probably never play GTA V after hating (almost) every second of IV, but to me this is a really good open-world game. I had fun with it.

henrikoez Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Sleeping Dogs is a fun game and it feels unique to play in Hong Kong. GTA V is great, SD is good fun. At least I enjoyed this one better than Watch Dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
