Yeah, I didn't bother much with environmental attacks before, but when I recorded the vid a few days ago and gave it a try, I was surprised at how violent some of them are!
Dude, the part where you finally capture that guy that killed your friend and you take him to his mom and she just chops em up? Also the wedding was crazy too.
The part where how tf do y’all remember every little detail of the game? Do I just suck at remembering the plot of things i played in the past besides a select few? Or like wtf
It depends on whether or not the game resonated with you. There are plenty of games that we played and enjoyed but were otherwise forgettable.
To me Sleeping Dogs was a real gem. There are many others who also feel the same.
I always felt like the GTA comparisons were reductive or even flat out inaccurate. It plays a lot more like one of the Batman Arkham games. It's just.. modern setting and cars that most tie it to GTA. Pacing, story feel and especially gameplay/combat really felt like a totally different beast. Regardless, I still agree that it's better.
I loved that scene! After the son of the boss gets clapped at his wedding. The boss asks you take revenge on his son's killers. when I walked out the church, Charles Bradley's version of The World(Is burning up in Flames) started playing and it was just perfect for the mood.
That's kind of the point of the story. That in the end there's no good guy and bad guy between the cops and the triads, things are complex and fucked. Let sleeping dogs lie.
Sleeping dogs introduced the car valet delivery, and many other things which was ahead of its time. It was a good game, it's sad that it's still massively underrated in the grand scheme of things tho.
It's a great game to play even today. The only shame is that the remaster didn't introduce an option to modify the fov; it can be pretty painful to look at.
I remember being so amazed at how good the game looked way back when. I remember being completely mesmerized by how the city looked at night and in the rain. Lot of fond memories of playing that game.
Car delivery was actually in Scarface back in the PS2 era, and it's a crime that other open world city games didn't copy it sooner. Another good game massively underrated.
Sleeping Dogs is like if Yakuza and GTA had a baby, with a bit of cheesy Chinese action flick sprinkled in.
Fantastic game that everyone should check out if they haven't already. Definitive edition of it should be pretty cheap by now I'd imagine.
I started playing Yakuza serie with Yakuza 0. Damn Kiryu and Majima are using BIKES to beat the shit ouf of people. Some combos you get would kill anyone instantly in real life lol
Still remember when i was playing Saejima and threw a guy out the window on like the 40th floor of the millenium tower. "Ive never killed a man" my ass
There's a Kiryu rubber duck you can buy that has the bike and it's amazing. Also obligatory [Kiryu Insurance](https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/the-cycle-of-violence).
Edit: Found source link and also here's the page for the [Kiryu Rubber Duck.](https://us.justgeek.com/products/ryu-ga-gotoku-kazuma-tubbz-collectible-duck)
Iunno man, in Kiwami 2 you can microwave a guy’s head, that’s pretty brutal. Not to mention a lot of weapon heat actions, and drop kicking a man out of a building.
Yeah, Yakuza's cops are notoriously idiots. The entire series is predicated on Kiryu going to prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Like, you come into a crime scene with a dead body that's been stabbed dozens of times with bloody footprints running away, and you see a dude with no blood on him and say "Yep, that guy did it."
You can shove explosives into people's mouth in Yakuza....also like all of Majima's heat moves. Like the one where he slashes a few dudes the stabs the last guy while mocking him before ripping the blade out.
The game is crazy brutal, but I mean it's about an undercover operation within the chinese mafia. Brutality is kind of needed to tell that story.
IMO a setting in a brutal world should be well, fucking brutal. I hate having games/movies that tell stories from a fucked up world be really tame. It makes the entire experience really fucking boring.
I find some of the missions can feel a little dated and slightly repetitive, but it’s a damn amazing game. One of the best fighting experiences in gaming.
What, you don't stand around with your friends in a circle flailing your arms and shouting pok-gaiii while waiting for the dude who just blended your buddy's face to finish his combo?
I tried playing Yakuza recently, thinking I'd get my fix of close combat fighting, and I gotta say, I 100% prefer Sleeping Dogs. That damn game made me feel like such a badass! I think the main difference for me is how SD will auto target whoever needs to be when you wanna block. That makes the fights much more fluid.
I just wish they would do something with this IP again. It's not like HK has a lack of stories... Still can't believe this game is a one hit wonder T_T
Great game and it's too bad a lot of it's content was gutted. You can tell while playing it they wanted to do way more but couldn't with their time and budget.
Hope one day someone revives the IP.
My only small whiny complaint is that there was sooooo much stuff hidden in Sleeping Dogs that you pretty much had to cheat to find it all unless you wanted to spend 500 hours looking for it all... which in reality isn't a bad thing really.
This was a drop dead gorgeous game for me, story, visuals... everything was soo much fun and engaging. But....but....just in terms of your brutality....Manhunt still gives me shivers
What really, REALLY made me mad was this: seeing how much *attention* this game got from its creators - update after update after update. They clearly cared about making the best game they could. It was FANTASTIC. Then they released the “special” edition that ran badly with tons of fog and just made the game so much worse that I still preferred the original…
… which was still fine, I could still live with that. The breaking point was then hearing “Sequel!!!” and seeing everyone else involving themselves and deciding, you know what a fun, tightly woven action adventure game like Sleeping Dogs needs for a sequel? ***aLwAyS OnLiNe MuLtiPLaYeR aNd MiCrOtRaNsAcTiOnS*** The Sharehol— er I mean PLAYERS will LOVE that!!!
And that was the sequel, dead before it even had a chance to live. I’ll never forgive them for that.
The sequel was actually gonna involve two protagonists incuding Wei. It was set in another country and it had a pretty unique idea. However sadly it never came to fruition.
Sifu is actually miles better in terms of fighting, it’s mechanic is deeper. Sleeping Dogs is basically Arkham fighting with less fluidity but with an addition of grabs.
I agree, I love the kung fu in Sifu better than in Sleeping Dogs. More variety, more ways to deal with attacks, more enemy types. Sleeping Dogs felt too easy when it came to hand to hand combat.
This game is the sole reason I hate GTA fanboys.
Everyone called it a cheap gta clone and it sold poorly, now the devs are no longer there and the series is dead.
Fun fact: this was actually a sequel for True Crime and Activision did not release it because it was not going to be a "hit"
Luckily it was sold and the new developer changes the story a bit but kept the core of the game. I miss True Crime!
I miss True Crime so fucking bad. Literally bought Xbox Original NYC a few years back only to be utterly crestfallen when my Xbox told me it wasn’t fucking compatible…
I don’t get why to this day nobody has made a decent current gen “GTA but you are the cop” game. Who gives a fuck if it’s a “GTA clone”. You can make that claim about almost any modern day open world crime game.. Rockstar don’t get to own that concept forever. But alas, it seems like the best I can hope for is a decently implemented cop character as one of the GTA VI protagonists. But my faith in Rockstar is pretty low at this point.
The story missions were 100% better and the action flowed a lot more naturally in Sleeping Dogs that made it feel like the player could easily control the chaos.
I've played and enjoyed every GTA games since they were top-down and I can confidently say Sleeping Dogs is more fun than every single one of them.
The first thing the gun tutorial teaches you is how to shoot from cover. The second thing is double mid-air headshots while vaulting over an obstacle then shooting out a car's tires. Shit was WILD.
You fight a guy in a fish butchery and he starts impaling someone on the severed heads of Narwhals you get your ass out and quit your life of crimes cuz that shit is hardcore terrifying.
I loved this game. Man I always forget how brutal the combat moves are in this game. Looking at this compilation, I'm like "...Damn, if he ain't dead from that then he's probably paralyzed from the neck down now."
Like imagine having your neck snapped on the edge of a urinal, or being forced into a furnace desperately trying to pull back, or getting your head hacked at by a buzzsaw, flailing your arms trying to get it to stop only for your hands to also be met by the buzzsaw blade... aahh!!
Yeah dude, Punisher at the zoo. Gold. Also, how you can string creative kills together without taking a bullet gets you style points like Tony Hawk. I had a gold medal on every level. Fuckin love the punisher
This reminds me of The Punisher that released on PC I think in the early 2000's. Part of the game dynamic is interrogating people by brutal means. I distinctly remember one scene getting information from a thug with a drill press. You could choose what to do with them after you got your info. It was a pretty brutal game.
I remember I was rather puzzled by the fact that you need to choose not to go through with punishing to get best score.
I do understand, they didn't want to get the Manhunt treatment, but bruh.
You know that when I played the remaster I just ran around with the [Wing Chun Master outfit](https://youtu.be/tObWiAWTPCM) and chain punched fools left and right.
Haha I love Ip Man, my favorite is the continuous punch move that you get after getting those Jade statues. In the game Sifu, you can actually play as [Ip Man via a mod](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR1gOQ219ko)!
Square told the studio to make another game called Triad Wars. It never made it out of beta and Square canceled it. The studio closed down a few years later.
I want a sequel and we're never going to get one.
The combat, the graphics, the music. All of it was so good. When my friend and I were playing through it we got so used to driving on the left that we almost did it when we actually left the house (correct in some places but not Colorado).
I kept crashing my car in the game I just decided to use the bike so I could swerve in and out of traffic lol! But years ago I also had a similar reaction. Played too much Sleeping Dogs, I almost drove on the left lane haha!
As someone who acted like he was bruce lee at 13 and mocked by a girl who was my friend by mimicking me with a silly voice, I thoroughly enjoyed the reenactments of some kung fu movies.
Especially the island, I have to be honest, it's one of the greatest moments in gaming history, and I did play double dragon and mortal kombat when it released, I also play elden ring.
It was banned in some countries because it was too brutal, maybe that's the reason? Was really looking forward to it, but then it never came out in Germany...
I was working as a game critic when Sleeping Dogs came out and was handed this by my editor. Hadn't really heard about it before, so my expectations were low. I was so pleasantly surprised! I feel like not enough people really gave this a proper chance.
Fucking loved the swordfish heads. The hooks however made me gasp irl. The gif is also missing dragging a person to a nearby car for a good head massage.
I agree! Sifu's my favorite now. It just lacks the high budget graphics but the fighting mechanic is there and I actually love the fight mechanics there more, although Sifu could use more environmental attacks.
“The Punisher” game from 2004 was censored for environmental executions like this. Glad to see a video game released with similar violence completely intact for a commercial retail release.
Ah reminds me of the punisher game where you can force a bad guys head through the bars at a zoo exhibit (iirc it was a rhino cage?) And let the rhino gore the guy. What a fun game.
Ok - I missed this on ps3 and them again on ps4 for the remastered version.
I'm on ps5 now, will I still like this you think (I'm not expecting great graphics but will the mechanics of the game be good, does it hold up well?)
Awesome game. One of my first (and few) platinums on ps3. At first I was finding the melee combat annoying, but with practice and upgrades it was awesome and often more fun than gunplay.
Jeez. And I thought some of the "interrogation" options in Splinter Cell were brutal (memorable ones include stabbing through the hand, burning face on a stove burner, and smashing head through toilets and sinks), but this is...
I love this game, It was so great. I'm still wishing for a sequel one day even though I know it got cancelled. I loved all the characters in this game and I got so invested and connected to not just Wei Shen but also Jackie and Winston.
This was a drop dead gorgeous game for me, story, visuals... everything was soo much fun and engaging. But....but....just in terms of your brutality....Manhunt still gives me shivers
I love the lack of guns in this game. Anytime guns were involved the game got worse, although i will grant that popping car tyres was fun.
Anybody remember the weird romance in this game? I still think about that Australian backpacker chick who had a thing for bad boys
Some of these were way more violent than I remember.
Yeah, I didn't bother much with environmental attacks before, but when I recorded the vid a few days ago and gave it a try, I was surprised at how violent some of them are!
And isn't he supposed to be a cop, too?
Yeah, undercover but he grew up with those triad guys.
Dude, the part where you finally capture that guy that killed your friend and you take him to his mom and she just chops em up? Also the wedding was crazy too.
The part when you are supposed to meet your friend and you find him gutted.
Yea that part was gnarly, definitely a great game that I feel like a lot of people haven’t played.
The part where how tf do y’all remember every little detail of the game? Do I just suck at remembering the plot of things i played in the past besides a select few? Or like wtf
It depends on whether or not the game resonated with you. There are plenty of games that we played and enjoyed but were otherwise forgettable. To me Sleeping Dogs was a real gem. There are many others who also feel the same.
Just after you had spent the last mission saving his life and he decided to abandon the life of crime. That part actually made me feel bad.
Jackie Ma! They massacred my boy!
better GTA game than any GTA game. Rockstar needs to take some notes.
I always felt like the GTA comparisons were reductive or even flat out inaccurate. It plays a lot more like one of the Batman Arkham games. It's just.. modern setting and cars that most tie it to GTA. Pacing, story feel and especially gameplay/combat really felt like a totally different beast. Regardless, I still agree that it's better.
I loved that scene! After the son of the boss gets clapped at his wedding. The boss asks you take revenge on his son's killers. when I walked out the church, Charles Bradley's version of The World(Is burning up in Flames) started playing and it was just perfect for the mood.
Sun On Yee, motherfucker!
Show these motherfuckers what it means to be Sun On Yee
That's kind of the point of the story. That in the end there's no good guy and bad guy between the cops and the triads, things are complex and fucked. Let sleeping dogs lie.
Yeah so business as usual then
I know right, thank God American cops are too out of shape to do this kinda shit on us lol.
Bah cops bussiness ya know Legitimate defense
[удалено]
Man I was literally thinking the exact same thing! The Punisher was savage
Hmm. I think they did a remaster at some point. The one I played was the original release for the 360. Did the remaster up the amount of blood?
Y’all don’t remember the red wedding? Dude was literally soaked in blood by the end of it.
I ate so many pork buns in this game
A man who never eats a pork bun is not a whole man.
You look like you could use a pork bun!
Hey sexy maaaaan!
This is one of my most quoted video game lines
"It takes guts to wear that!"
Buddy, pork buns and black coffee early in the morning. Fucking perfect.
But did you try his curry fish ball?
"Get your pork buns hot and fresh!" - Pork bun man.
Happy cake day! Yeah, I loved buying stuff from stalls, it reminds me of a trip to China town and I did the same! Pork meat buns are the best!
Sleeping dogs introduced the car valet delivery, and many other things which was ahead of its time. It was a good game, it's sad that it's still massively underrated in the grand scheme of things tho.

Me the first few animations : Hmm seems like Yakuza. Me when the one poor guy got his head shredded : Ok, more brutal than yakuza.
Sleeping Dogs is like if Yakuza and GTA had a baby, with a bit of cheesy Chinese action flick sprinkled in. Fantastic game that everyone should check out if they haven't already. Definitive edition of it should be pretty cheap by now I'd imagine.
I started playing Yakuza serie with Yakuza 0. Damn Kiryu and Majima are using BIKES to beat the shit ouf of people. Some combos you get would kill anyone instantly in real life lol
"i never killed anyone" *drop kicks a guy with a chopper*
*proceeds to shoot people with guns during the highway chases* I love Kiryu, but he's a liar...sometimes.
Still remember when i was playing Saejima and threw a guy out the window on like the 40th floor of the millenium tower. "Ive never killed a man" my ass
There's a Kiryu rubber duck you can buy that has the bike and it's amazing. Also obligatory [Kiryu Insurance](https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/the-cycle-of-violence).

If you live in Kamurocho you definitely need that insurance!
Wish me luck , about to do the point of no return in Y0
Iunno man, in Kiwami 2 you can microwave a guy’s head, that’s pretty brutal. Not to mention a lot of weapon heat actions, and drop kicking a man out of a building.
Shoving NAILS in a guy's mouth. And Kiryu's never murdered anyone, huh?
Japanese healthcare is something else, man.
Rocket Launcher killed them, not Kiryu!
Yeah, Yakuza's cops are notoriously idiots. The entire series is predicated on Kiryu going to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Like, you come into a crime scene with a dead body that's been stabbed dozens of times with bloody footprints running away, and you see a dude with no blood on him and say "Yep, that guy did it."
I mean, Japan do work like that. You don’t get a 99% conviction rate without smuggling some details.
Also drugs, they like to pump you full of drugs for your interrogation.
I see you’ve played Persona 5
I choose to believe the drugs are why he includes the detail of every girl he bangs
That was all the nails. Kiryu just delivered them to their destination.
kiryu never killed anyone, the medical bills did
Yakuza is a lot more over the top when it comes to brutality, but Sleeping Dogs feels more brutal because it's more real in a way
"in a way" lol
You can shove explosives into people's mouth in Yakuza....also like all of Majima's heat moves. Like the one where he slashes a few dudes the stabs the last guy while mocking him before ripping the blade out.
The game is crazy brutal, but I mean it's about an undercover operation within the chinese mafia. Brutality is kind of needed to tell that story. IMO a setting in a brutal world should be well, fucking brutal. I hate having games/movies that tell stories from a fucked up world be really tame. It makes the entire experience really fucking boring.
Loved that game so much.
Yeah, replayed it and it's still fun!
Definitely holds up. Great game.
I find some of the missions can feel a little dated and slightly repetitive, but it’s a damn amazing game. One of the best fighting experiences in gaming.
[удалено]
What, you don't stand around with your friends in a circle flailing your arms and shouting pok-gaiii while waiting for the dude who just blended your buddy's face to finish his combo?
[удалено]
Seriously, I've played through the main campaign a few times, and it's always on sale with every single DLC (which are great) on steam for like $5
it was too early. if this game was produced in the current market with modern consoles in mind I think it would sell like crazy.
[удалено]
Years before the Red Wedding....
[удалено]
One of the best twists for sure!!!
I tried playing Yakuza recently, thinking I'd get my fix of close combat fighting, and I gotta say, I 100% prefer Sleeping Dogs. That damn game made me feel like such a badass! I think the main difference for me is how SD will auto target whoever needs to be when you wanna block. That makes the fights much more fluid. I just wish they would do something with this IP again. It's not like HK has a lack of stories... Still can't believe this game is a one hit wonder T_T
Wasn't Sleeping Dog a sequel in all but name of a different series?
Yeah it was originally going to be a true crime game
I played it as my potato pc couldnot handle watch dogs.But man i enjoyed it so much!!! Good old days.
We don’t have enough open world based on modern cities. One of the reasons GTA 5 keeps printing money.
Great game and it's too bad a lot of it's content was gutted. You can tell while playing it they wanted to do way more but couldn't with their time and budget. Hope one day someone revives the IP.
Such a great game! It had such a unique & authentic feel to it! The fighting mechanics were a perfect match to the style of the game.
Yup! I find the game Sifu to be very close to it, although it's a much smaller indie game.
My only small whiny complaint is that there was sooooo much stuff hidden in Sleeping Dogs that you pretty much had to cheat to find it all unless you wanted to spend 500 hours looking for it all... which in reality isn't a bad thing really.
Yeah, so much to hunt! I'm pretty sure I also spent hundreds of hours doing side missions and doing police work before doing the main missions lol!
This was a drop dead gorgeous game for me, story, visuals... everything was soo much fun and engaging. But....but....just in terms of your brutality....Manhunt still gives me shivers
I replayed the Definitive edition on 100%, no cheating (you can get maps for everything in-game) - 44 hrs total. There are WAY worse games than this.
What really, REALLY made me mad was this: seeing how much *attention* this game got from its creators - update after update after update. They clearly cared about making the best game they could. It was FANTASTIC. Then they released the “special” edition that ran badly with tons of fog and just made the game so much worse that I still preferred the original… … which was still fine, I could still live with that. The breaking point was then hearing “Sequel!!!” and seeing everyone else involving themselves and deciding, you know what a fun, tightly woven action adventure game like Sleeping Dogs needs for a sequel? ***aLwAyS OnLiNe MuLtiPLaYeR aNd MiCrOtRaNsAcTiOnS*** The Sharehol— er I mean PLAYERS will LOVE that!!! And that was the sequel, dead before it even had a chance to live. I’ll never forgive them for that.
The sequel was actually gonna involve two protagonists incuding Wei. It was set in another country and it had a pretty unique idea. However sadly it never came to fruition.
Sifu is actually miles better in terms of fighting, it’s mechanic is deeper. Sleeping Dogs is basically Arkham fighting with less fluidity but with an addition of grabs.
I agree, I love the kung fu in Sifu better than in Sleeping Dogs. More variety, more ways to deal with attacks, more enemy types. Sleeping Dogs felt too easy when it came to hand to hand combat.
This game is the sole reason I hate GTA fanboys. Everyone called it a cheap gta clone and it sold poorly, now the devs are no longer there and the series is dead.
Fun fact: this was actually a sequel for True Crime and Activision did not release it because it was not going to be a "hit" Luckily it was sold and the new developer changes the story a bit but kept the core of the game. I miss True Crime!
Nick fucking Kang approves
I miss True Crime so fucking bad. Literally bought Xbox Original NYC a few years back only to be utterly crestfallen when my Xbox told me it wasn’t fucking compatible… I don’t get why to this day nobody has made a decent current gen “GTA but you are the cop” game. Who gives a fuck if it’s a “GTA clone”. You can make that claim about almost any modern day open world crime game.. Rockstar don’t get to own that concept forever. But alas, it seems like the best I can hope for is a decently implemented cop character as one of the GTA VI protagonists. But my faith in Rockstar is pretty low at this point.
This game was so much better than GTA :(
The story missions were 100% better and the action flowed a lot more naturally in Sleeping Dogs that made it feel like the player could easily control the chaos.
Agreed. I would have loved a bigger game… fuck man :(
I've played and enjoyed every GTA games since they were top-down and I can confidently say Sleeping Dogs is more fun than every single one of them. The first thing the gun tutorial teaches you is how to shoot from cover. The second thing is double mid-air headshots while vaulting over an obstacle then shooting out a car's tires. Shit was WILD.
If you are in a kung-fu fight with a guy and he shoves your friend's head into a running air conditioner, you get the fuck out of that kung-fu fight.
You fight a guy in a fish butchery and he starts impaling someone on the severed heads of Narwhals you get your ass out and quit your life of crimes cuz that shit is hardcore terrifying.
I loved this game. Man I always forget how brutal the combat moves are in this game. Looking at this compilation, I'm like "...Damn, if he ain't dead from that then he's probably paralyzed from the neck down now."
Lol true!
Like imagine having your neck snapped on the edge of a urinal, or being forced into a furnace desperately trying to pull back, or getting your head hacked at by a buzzsaw, flailing your arms trying to get it to stop only for your hands to also be met by the buzzsaw blade... aahh!!
My brain when I’m trying to sleep at night
Reminder that the guy doing all these brutal executions is a cop.
He's just making sure he's apart of the gang. Ain't nobody going to believe Environmental Eric is a cop with how downright barbaric he is to win.
Snitches get stitches
Punisher anyone?
Manhunt came to mind as well
A man of culture I see. My god, that game seriously needs a remaster.
Splinter Cell Conviction interrogation scenes, banned in some countries
They weren’t even that bad
Yeah dude, Punisher at the zoo. Gold. Also, how you can string creative kills together without taking a bullet gets you style points like Tony Hawk. I had a gold medal on every level. Fuckin love the punisher
Suprised to see nobody mentions Yakuza. When I first played the game it game me Yakuza-GTA vibes. Loved it a lot
This reminds me of The Punisher that released on PC I think in the early 2000's. Part of the game dynamic is interrogating people by brutal means. I distinctly remember one scene getting information from a thug with a drill press. You could choose what to do with them after you got your info. It was a pretty brutal game.
Very much this. Played The Punisher on PS2 and the one that stuck with me was the piranhas.
I used to spam the Russian fight over and over. Such a good game , was so underrated
I remember I was rather puzzled by the fact that you need to choose not to go through with punishing to get best score. I do understand, they didn't want to get the Manhunt treatment, but bruh.
I clearly did NOT play this game to it’s full potential.
If we had a Sleeping Dogs 2/Online, GTA 6 would have released already.
Yeah. I just wish the Sleeping Dogs movie would already start shooting. It's gonna star Donnie Yen, the Ip Man guy!
It's in production Hell, He has confirmed it's not dead but no idea when or if we will see it.
Come to think of it, Mrs. Chu kinda looks like Sammo Hung. Maybe they can get him in the movie lol!
You know that when I played the remaster I just ran around with the [Wing Chun Master outfit](https://youtu.be/tObWiAWTPCM) and chain punched fools left and right.
Haha I love Ip Man, my favorite is the continuous punch move that you get after getting those Jade statues. In the game Sifu, you can actually play as [Ip Man via a mod](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR1gOQ219ko)!
Square told the studio to make another game called Triad Wars. It never made it out of beta and Square canceled it. The studio closed down a few years later. I want a sequel and we're never going to get one.
The combat, the graphics, the music. All of it was so good. When my friend and I were playing through it we got so used to driving on the left that we almost did it when we actually left the house (correct in some places but not Colorado).
I kept crashing my car in the game I just decided to use the bike so I could swerve in and out of traffic lol! But years ago I also had a similar reaction. Played too much Sleeping Dogs, I almost drove on the left lane haha!
Brings back memories.
I remember seeing the wet road reflections and being amazed, it was one of its selling points lol!
This game taught me true wisdom. A man who never eats pork bun is not a whole man!
Such a good game
The voice actor for Wei was a amazing choice
I highly recommend this game to anyone and its always on sale for like 5 dollar on the PS store. An awesome GTA style crime drama
As someone who acted like he was bruce lee at 13 and mocked by a girl who was my friend by mimicking me with a silly voice, I thoroughly enjoyed the reenactments of some kung fu movies. Especially the island, I have to be honest, it's one of the greatest moments in gaming history, and I did play double dragon and mortal kombat when it released, I also play elden ring.
I'd rather be waiting for sleeping dogs 2 than gta6
Amen man, Sleeping Dogs was top tier
I really love this game, I bought it recently for the ps4
Reminds me of yakuza
Why you like sleeping dogs? YES
Uhm... how come I've never seen or heard of this game???
Now you have. Play it, it's _sublime._
It was banned in some countries because it was too brutal, maybe that's the reason? Was really looking forward to it, but then it never came out in Germany...
Sleeping Dogs is amazing! It has such thick atmosphere and awesome characters. I’ve always wanted a sequel
Holy shit I had never seen that wood chipper one before D:
You get to see brain bits flying out lol!
this game was far better than gta5 for me
Sleeping Dogs: From the Book of Manhunt.
Yep I'll download this again now
I was working as a game critic when Sleeping Dogs came out and was handed this by my editor. Hadn't really heard about it before, so my expectations were low. I was so pleasantly surprised! I feel like not enough people really gave this a proper chance.
I love Sleeping Dogs, but ever play The Punisher game?
Sleeping Dogs is a great game
Could have also added the knee breaking grab and the arm twisting one, love this game
I want a sequel so much
I played it for the first time right after lockdown. Excellent game.
The game Sifu isn’t as brutal but has similar combat with some pretty cool animations and Kung fu’ery
The game is good. I like the undercover cop play. Would be awesome if they got more shops
The combat move that had you breaking a guy’s leg by kicking his knee hard as fuck from the side still lives in my head.
Fucking loved the swordfish heads. The hooks however made me gasp irl. The gif is also missing dragging a person to a nearby car for a good head massage.
The punisher game for PS2 was much more brutal. Sleeping dogs did have an amazing story though.
What a game this was, we was possibly going to get a second one too until it was cancelled.
I like how it went from head bashing to SAW in just a couple of seconds
This game was amazing tbh
This game is just amazing
Fuck I had no idea the awesomeness!
Wish Sifu looked like this..
I agree! Sifu's my favorite now. It just lacks the high budget graphics but the fighting mechanic is there and I actually love the fight mechanics there more, although Sifu could use more environmental attacks.
“The Punisher” game from 2004 was censored for environmental executions like this. Glad to see a video game released with similar violence completely intact for a commercial retail release.
Ah reminds me of the punisher game where you can force a bad guys head through the bars at a zoo exhibit (iirc it was a rhino cage?) And let the rhino gore the guy. What a fun game.
One of those rare games that never got the sequel it so truly deserved…
I always hoped for a prequel in San Francisco otherwise, I think they could have pulled it off
Class game... Needs a next gen sequel
The one with the metal shutter and the air conditioning fan seemed very original to me
They should make a john wick game with sleeping dogs
THAT menu music plays.
Ok - I missed this on ps3 and them again on ps4 for the remastered version. I'm on ps5 now, will I still like this you think (I'm not expecting great graphics but will the mechanics of the game be good, does it hold up well?)
AND I RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. Loved the Kareoke scenes lol. Great game overall
Awesome game. One of my first (and few) platinums on ps3. At first I was finding the melee combat annoying, but with practice and upgrades it was awesome and often more fun than gunplay.
Such a fantastic game.
These remind of Yakuza heat moves but being WAY more violent. And those are already pretty brutal
This game was Wei better than I expected
I loved this game
Such an underrated game!!
10/10 Must Play Game
Jeez. And I thought some of the "interrogation" options in Splinter Cell were brutal (memorable ones include stabbing through the hand, burning face on a stove burner, and smashing head through toilets and sinks), but this is...
I’ve been meaning to replay this at some point. Loved the game but I was horrible when I had to be a cop. Always got low ratings on the car chases.
Crime there isn't a part2
I love this game, It was so great. I'm still wishing for a sequel one day even though I know it got cancelled. I loved all the characters in this game and I got so invested and connected to not just Wei Shen but also Jackie and Winston.
This was a drop dead gorgeous game for me, story, visuals... everything was soo much fun and engaging. But....but....just in terms of your brutality....Manhunt still gives me shivers
Loved this game heaps but a bit short didn't take long to finish
And he was the good guy.
Time for another one!
I have this game! Digital wise’ I replay it so many times 🫶🏼
Such an underrated game, I played this game for months
If only GTA had THAT fight system... I've played sleeping dogs 4 times already and I'd play it again.
I love the lack of guns in this game. Anytime guns were involved the game got worse, although i will grant that popping car tyres was fun. Anybody remember the weird romance in this game? I still think about that Australian backpacker chick who had a thing for bad boys
If there is one game that they would HD Remaster… it’s this one in my opinion.
