Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping dogs is an open-world style game. It's basically Need for Speed: Undercover + GTA in Hong Kong.

I'm buying it in the morning, and wondering who has it, and what their opinions are.

Re: Sleeping Dogs

Dang it! I did it again!

But anyway I've got some friends who like Sleeping Dogs though I've never played it myself and don't particularly trust these friends' opinions

Re: Sleeping Dogs

Jeez, I stop going on Scratch for a few months and everybody's panicked about being banned for mentioning a violent game.

Seriously, what happened? I remember swapping hack weapon codes for CoD or something, and I remember documenting my progress in Skyrim in high detail, gore and all.

Borderlands, Fallout, CoD: Black Ops 2, Battlefield 3, World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Sleeping Dogs.

Ban me now!

(I'm kidding, banning me would be the wrong thing to do, as I didn't do anything wrong)

I know I was joking and I doubt zubblewu actually particularly cared

I dunno if the crowd here was different a few months ago but I'm pretty sure most of the people here right now are under twelve years of age and probably shouldn't be playing the games you've mentioned + might not want to hear about them

I've been here since '07 (a rarity now, I guess) and when I last posted, most of the people here were in the 14-27 range.

In my opinion, sheltering children isn't a good thing. It makes the transitioning from 'Childhood' to 'Real Adult Life' a lot harder. I wasn't sheltered at all, and tuned out fine. A little morbid and sick in the head, but fine.

But, enough about sheltering children. We're here to talk about one thing: The best (I guess) Open-world shoot-em-up Triad game.

I was here for about a year around 2009 under a different name and I don't think the crowd was much different but there was a little less censorship (Pretty sure there were communism threads and ones about gay marriage and garbage that mods participated on rather than just Harry Potter and minecraft and ponies)

I wasn't particularly sheltered as a child but I simply didn't enjoy violent video games when I was around the age most Scratchers seem to be. They can probably work on getting closer to the "real adult" part of their life transition when they're a few years older and actually have to start worrying about that sort of thing. I don't think trying to make kids grow up faster is going to make them come out any more mature in the end and if they want to stay kids for a normal amount of time that's kind of okay

Heck, when I was here, Misc was still active, and we were talking about sexual orientation, politics, and religion.
Everything was a lot more.. chill back then.

Anyway, I downloaded the game, and I get a crash every time I start it. I get to the logo screen, and the game just sorta.. quits.

if it works, tell me how it is

Re: Sleeping Dogs

My dad likes FPS games and usually lets me get them if I let him have a turn every once in a while + I don't usually get asked for ID at the game store anyway I don't think they care + it's easy to lie on Steam

Re: Sleeping Dogs

I guess there must be some appropiate things to discuss about the game (cheats, car driving, funny stories, glitches).

Re: Sleeping Dogs

The only way enemies die is if you use a gun, throw them off a high place, or use the environmental hazard feature. The rest of the time, they're just knocked out.
