I just wish more people picked it up and played through it so they could see how phenomenal this game actually is. It's crazy to see how cheap this game goes sometimes and I've seen it discounted to only $3. Thanks for watching!
This game showed me how boring Grand Theft Auto games are. I would have never played it if my friend didn't tell me about it. Being American with Chinese descent. The change of scenery taking place in Hong Kong as an undercover cop and hearing Cantonese spoken by the triad is REFRESHING!
I don't like open world games, too much distractions but sleeping dogs had me. It's beautiful. It also incoporates the local language and culture (food, clothing) really well.
I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed Sleeping Dogs. It's all of the little things this game does so well which so many people overlook. For example if you steal someone's umbrella while it's raining, they'll chase you around so they can get it back. The details are crazy!
To be honest, Wei Shen's story was great. Ending was great, the only thing i wished we could do, was hang out more with characters outside of missions, but even though that, I still was hooked into everyone's the story
That is a good thought. It would have been cool if we could hang out with characters outside the main missions similar to how you can in Grand Theft Auto IV.
I really wish we got a sequel to this game set in Hong Kong once again or even Japan for a different story. Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever get a sequel so I guess I'll just have to keep playing this game over and over again.
@@BaileyPoints same, heck, without sleeping dogs i wouldnt have known anything about hong kong nor cantonese culture, not even their awesome movies which they produce. Games like sleeping dogs are a gateway to see and experience how different cultures live and for me…that makes it more valuable than a GTA game. Would love a sleeping dogs style game set in japan but the yakuza series is strong (and they are all great games, all of then) so we most certaintly never get one, but a sequel? Or a korean sleeping dogs? Even a thai sleeping dogs would be LITERAL GOLD.
Shame we never got a sequal to this game since United Front Games shut down in 2016. I've just recently beat the game and I'm really suprised how well the game still holds up. Granted the shooting and the driving controls can be a bit shit at times but it definitely is a lot better than other GTA clones I've played.
I just wish we got more games like Sleeping Dogs that challenged the GTA series. Most people really enjoy GTA, so it baffles me that there aren't many games copying the formula in their own way such as this title. Sleeping Dogs is a perfect standalone title but I would've really liked for a sequel but unfortunately I don't think that is ever going to happen. Thanks for watching.
Honestly, to me the gameplay and storyline is just so much more interesting and satisfying than any of the GTA games. I love the undercover cop story and I absolutely love how the combat weapons and driving feels. To me, Hong Kong is so much more beautiful than liberty city or GTA 5 world space.
Literally working on the platnium for this game rn, already beat this game 4 times, really is a great game overall but some of those challenges for the trophies are just very grindy and rng based especially the cockfighting. Whoever made the cockfighting minigame is my enemy.
I've just 100% completed Sleeping Dogs again and I can totally agree with you since I was grinding that minigame to get enough money to purchase all the vehicles. Once both the chickens died during a fight and it should have been considered a draw but I lost instead. I'd say this one the annoying aspect of going for the 100% completion in Sleeping Dogs but all the other challenges and activities were super fun. Good luck for your 100% run!
@@BaileyPointswell I didn't really need to grind late game, I did the cockfighting for the sake of the gambler challenge, by the end of the game I had a shit load of cash from doing everything available except the last 10 tran deliveries so I was able to buy almost everything in the first go, just had to get the last few deliveries done for the remaining clothes and even after buying everything I still had close to a mill left. I'm pretty close to the platnium atm but the most annoying parts was the cockfighting(took me 27 tries in total the make 1mill of it) and the 10 melee weapons challenge, had to run all over the map looking for the right weapon to kill the person for. Besides that everything was decent.
That is one way of looking at this video. I'm planning on making many more Sleeping Dogs videos in the near future since it is one of my favourite games of all time that is still not talked about enough. So I'd like to shine the light more on this fantastic game and hopefully inspire people to pick it up for the first time and give it a go. Thank you very much for watching.
thats crazy . because . i'm still playing it from time to time haha xD and it has been almost 12 years now . you can do so much with the limited tecniques at the beginning . you can go from a grab into a shove then to a counter and chain 2 people into a spinning heel kick and then do a wallrun kick into another grab and into a throw that can give you more space into another chain attack and another crowd controlling kick. you can do so much and it only gets better once you unlock everything . the story is great and replayable . the only thing that makes me bored to this day is/are taling missions and the mission with jackies watches . that's the only upsetting thing haha xD and you didn't even realise those things so i'm not really sure if your opinion on this is just a subjective thing . saying this because i never felt like anything was stretched . it felt more like the game was made with a second one in mind . hmm
I played sleeping dogs back when it came out and I loved it, I bought a pc a few months ago and I found out you can mod this game, so I gave Wei Sharingan eyes, different tattoos and different hair color with some retextures for clothes, and I also added a mod menu and there’s so many things you can do with that mod menu.
I 100%ed sleeping dogs and beat all the dlc and champagne 2-3 times over. Awesome Arcady game. Even have a poster of the game in my room. One of my favorites for sure.
I've now 100% completed Sleeping Dogs twice and it still made for an amazing gaming experience. I'm definitely going to plan another story playthrough for the near future.
This game has a great and fun combat system. Good story so far. Wei Shen is a great protagosist. It didn't need to be an open world game. It should've been a more focused action game. That would've been perfect.
What's the boring is the combat fighting moveset was very limited. Like why he just have that Moveset? Even when u unlocked it with statues then what? U just relocked the same Moveset. That's so useless..
So many games have released in the past few years. All sorts of games! As a person who played games throughout his whole life I can definitely say that this is one of the 5 games I always go back to. This game has intriguing story and so beautifully brutal takedowns and fighting mechanics that I can’t comprehend how it outshines newer games today. Its really unfortunate that the studio closed down. Simply incredible game!
Pretty sure I beat the game when it first released, I feel like I did anyways. Haven't been able to complete it on any repeat playthroughs. Gets stale midway.
Ive only been playing a few days and its already one of my favorites. Days Gone is another truly fun open world game with great replayability. Of course RDRII is the king but Sleeping Dogs is surprisingly in that category. SD story is incredible
There are a lot of people who stopped playing Sleeping Dogs so I wanted to discuss the reasons behind why which I thought would be interesting. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!
Same thing happened to me, i have always heard how good this game was yet my first impression was a boring and underwhelming game, i still have yet to give it another shot
I absolutely love this game it’s a shame the company that created it shut down. It could have rivalled the GTA series. The Mafia series still has the potential to rival GTA tho
I 100 percent this but i havent even completed skyrim even 50 pecent for the past 8 years i mod try it tweak it play and then drop it same with horrizon
I replayed the game with graphic mods and understanding the mission and mini game order. As example wei put mask when beating the thug to hack security camera, hijack mission. After bride to be winston gone so Wei beat every thug in Central and do more cop jobs to make it safe for his fam. After Dogeyes gone i played thousand knife, before zodiac island i played shaolin showdown. And after main story Wei got beaten up by Tong and Lee. So he is "sick" the Nightmare on north point is Wei fever dream after long time take break he needs get back to work this is time for playing year of the snake
This game is amazing im playing right now on pc@4k and it's unreal. Definitely a sleeper game that i think alot of people don't realize how great it is.
"Uninstalled the game an hour & a half...yep sounds like the perfect person to review the game...🙄" See? If I hadn't watched the entire review and just typed my blurb posted it and moved on I'd be proven to be a hypocritical douchebag. Thank you for returning to the game and giving such an honest and heartfelt review. Things like this are life lessons people, spread the wisdom my brother...
The narrative structure of this game is all over the place, you play this goofy action game where you can get a dual minigun ferrari, act a terminator that knows kung fu and sing karaoke. But the protagonist is one of the biggest piece of shit ever dreamt up in all history of human insanity. He is so vile and pityful, it almost feels like the writers were drawing a caricature of a real person they know. In this game you entrap and betray your best friend youve known since childhood, you sleep around like a ladykiller and then you get jealous of one of your sidepieces and then stalk her like a goddamn psychopath, you pit the hong kong police department and the triad against each other so you draw less heat on yourself, you kill, torture, bribe, corrupt all in the name of justice but in reality it is in the name of survival and subsequently ambition. All the other characters in this game and the overall tone are light hearted and goofy but the protagonist is straight out of kane and lnych.
For me the main culprit is the annoying minigames, radio ones especially like oh my god it is infuriating and a lot of other ones too btw, its sad that a game this god is foiled by this annoying system
What are the annoying mini games you are talking about? Not sure what you mean by "radio ones". You don't have to do the mini games and you can just focus on enjoying the story.
@@BaileyPoints uh no, the ones where you hack a camera plant a bug, trace a call while little they do ruin it a bit, you talked about how people leave the game after a certain time and don't bother completing it, what you said is right, what motivated me to get sorta back to the game is this video so I owe you a good bit of thanks so thanks friend :)
This game has probably the most ‘word of mouth’ advertising of all time. Great video as ever!
I just wish more people picked it up and played through it so they could see how phenomenal this game actually is. It's crazy to see how cheap this game goes sometimes and I've seen it discounted to only $3. Thanks for watching!

It's all this plus the incredible story and all of the open world activities that make this game one of the greats.
Sleeping Dogs are better than GTA game (Maybe besides San Andreas).
San andreas is still better. Even the hand to hand combat, you can switch between karate, kick boxing and boxing.
sounds great !
This game just makes me feel good, it’s rare a game actually feels like a game now a days.
I 100% agree!
yes its a true Gem in thesedays
I don't like open world games, too much distractions but sleeping dogs had me. It's beautiful. It also incoporates the local language and culture (food, clothing) really well.

I still go back to sleeping dogs from time to time, once a year atleast, the whole Hong Kong thing made this game toppp🤌

@@BaileyPointsWhat about Taiwan?
The gameplay, the quickness, the cardriving, the shooting and certainly the fightmecanics in sleeping dogs are waaaaaay better than the gta games

we need Square Enix to notice this game again
you can’t call this a gta clone
@@idontwannatypeanamesquare enix isn’t a thing anymore unfortunately
@@De_OneCrypted it pretty much is a GTA clone. But a good one because it tries to be unique, I'll give it that.
Honestly, to me the gameplay and storyline is just so much more interesting and satisfying than any of the GTA games.
I love the undercover cop story and I absolutely love how the combat weapons and driving feels.

Agreed
Yeah I bought GTA5 along with this and I already see myself replaying SD before I ever download GTA, I love this world
I just hope I like GTA after this, I'm really hooked
Still hate Square for shutting down UFG. Sleeping Dogs 2 and even the online game had potential.
It's sad

we are one step closer to SD videos not exclusively being 1 hour retrospectives, thank you

I played sleeping dogs on my xbox one in 2016 when i was 10 and it was my first gta like game
It made my conditions higher for newer action games
I also got the game because my father thought it was one of yakuza game😅
*MY Problem with Sleeping Dogs...
finished it recently and even though it can feel a bit clunky and unfinished i still thoroughly enjoyed it
For the drug bust you can actually see in your footage that you ran past a gun that was left there intentionally for you to pick up lmao.
sleeping dogs is great the things the developers prioritised they perfected its flawed in some areas though. it's a shame it never got a sequel
This game has no problems
The game crashes every single time I try to load my save, on PS5. I can't even try to play it.
Yeah I have some issues with but I just reboot the game and it’s fine .. for its price it’s okay lol
You have to load a manule save, it’s a ps5 issue unfortunately
thats crazy . because . i'm still playing it from time to time haha xD
and it has been almost 12 years now .
you can do so much with the limited tecniques at the beginning . you can go from a grab into a shove then to a counter and chain 2 people into a spinning heel kick and then do a wallrun kick into another grab and into a throw that can give you more space into another chain attack and another crowd controlling kick. you can do so much and it only gets better once you unlock everything . the story is great and replayable . the only thing that makes me bored to this day is/are taling missions and the mission with jackies watches . that's the only upsetting thing haha xD
and you didn't even realise those things so i'm not really sure if your opinion on this is just a subjective thing . saying this because i never felt like anything was stretched . it felt more like the game was made with a second one in mind . hmm

My biggest weakness are planting bugs and disabling racers
I really loved the game,would play it again for sure
My dad got me this game when i was 5 i reinstalled it couple years ago haven't "stopped" playing since
You're dad has a good taste in games. Happy to hear you're having fun with Sleeping Dogs!
"A man who never eats pork buns is never a whole man!"
I jus grew up playin Sleeping Dogs, since 2012 💯
This game has a great and fun combat system. Good story so far. Wei Shen is a great protagosist. It didn't need to be an open world game. It should've been a more focused action game. That would've been perfect.
If I’m correct wasn’t this related to activisions true crime series?
It was!
What's the boring is the combat fighting moveset was very limited. Like why he just have that Moveset? Even when u unlocked it with statues then what? U just relocked the same Moveset. That's so useless..

Its really unfortunate that the studio closed down. Simply incredible game!
I couldn't agree with you more on everything that you said!
great vid. Loved the story especially the Winston wedding part
is it worth buying?
Pretty sure I beat the game when it first released, I feel like I did anyways. Haven't been able to complete it on any repeat playthroughs. Gets stale midway.
Does anyone know why the cars I purchased disappeared?
This game is under rated
This games deserve a sequel frfr. I finished this game 5 times already 😅
I think you should do another playthrough!
Well done video can't believe u don't have more views keep it up
I appreciate the kind words dude!
Ive only been playing a few days and its already one of my favorites.
Days Gone is another truly fun open world game with great replayability.
Of course RDRII is the king but Sleeping Dogs is surprisingly in that category. SD story is incredible
I thought I was the only one thank you so much for making this video. Keep it up, bro.
There are a lot of people who stopped playing Sleeping Dogs so I wanted to discuss the reasons behind why which I thought would be interesting. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video!

I really hope that the developers of Sleeping Dogs create a new studio in the future and acquire the rights to make a sequel to Sleeping Dogs.
The problem with sleeping dogs is that it crashes on launch on ps5 😔😔😔
I mean it was a ps4 game
I 100 percent this but i havent even completed skyrim even 50 pecent for the past 8 years i mod try it tweak it play and then drop it same with horrizon
I quit on GTA 4 because I couldn't make it through the freaking tutorial mission.
Sleeping Dogs & Watch Dogs 2 are 2 of the GREATEST UNDERRATED games of all time!
This game is too good to be true. It's *too* fun.
I replayed the game with graphic mods and understanding the mission and mini game order.
As example wei put mask when beating the thug to hack security camera, hijack mission. After bride to be winston gone so Wei beat every thug in Central and do more cop jobs to make it safe for his fam.

Oh no. I did the same thing, and you have convinced me to reinstall it. I got it with a graphics card originally.
Hope you're having fun with the game!
The game also runs WAY better steamdeck than gta 4 or 5
Glad to see you enjoyed it
This game is amazing im playing right now on pc@4k and it's unreal. Definitely a sleeper game that i think alot of people don't realize how great it is.
I've never experienced Sleeping Dogs, but I think I'll give it a crack. Top video mate

The best guy with the best comment!
@BaileyPoints LOL thank ya Bailey! I hope you're doing well! I'm excited to see that video on Triad Wars you're cooking up!
Its so underrated
BALLlES 100% the game! 🙃
BALLIES should be in Sleeping Dogs 2!
I still play it tho it's still good. Oh yea I almost deleted this game when I saw jackie disemboweled
Please add mods🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉it will blow your mind
