I remember putting in hours and hours every day after school into Sleep Dogs. The designs, the characters, the atmosphere, the quest lines, the story, the setting, the gameplay, hell, even the color pallet, Sleeping Dogs is a near perfect blend of all those, it just sucked me right in. I still go back into the game every now and then just to free roam and beat up some thugs using awesome, addictive and well mapped combos and attack patterns/skills. I'm probably biased, but i'll give it a solid 8.9/10. Would never forget this game.

a bit late to the party, but I agree it is far from the most underrated game. for example, Beyond Good and Evil was a fantastic game and sold so little copies, it was actually packaged as a free game with SLICED CHEESE in Canada. Sleeping Dogs was never even close to that epic failure. but I agree SD deserved much mure attention then it got. sadly. everyone I know who played it loved it and was puzzled why this was not a big hit

Scott Douglas No, it used parts of Arkham’s combat system just like Mad Max, Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War and (to a certain extent) Assassin’s Creed 2 and 3. I don’t remember being able to grab and throw enemies of off a railing or tase them or even stab them in the fucking stomach with a kitchen knife in Arkham asylum.

Sleeping Dogs is one of the most underrated games I've every played. I played the original version back in 2013 and bought the Definitive Edition too. However, since I am German I had to wait three months for the region lock to expire. Totally worth it in my opinion!

TerrasClip After three months all key region locks on Steam expire. For example: you can buy an uncut Wolfenstein key in Germany and activate it on Steam. After that, Steam will kindly remind you that the game you‘ve just activated is not available in Germany and that you won’t be able to download or play the game (which is true for the first three months). However, after the region lock expires (=after three months) you will be able to download and play the game as if there was never a problem. I hope that helps :)

Its been years since I've last played. The game I truly felt alive in and played over and over just and over till I was finally done. Played it entirely maybe more than 4 times. Sad that it's super underrated with no sequel which I would die for. Its a shock that I found a handful of gamers around me who never tried it and it's 2020. It's a game thats still not too late to recommend to get the feeling of an awsome Chinese triad. The smooth handling of the smoking graphics still impresses me to this day. - the chicken bet freak

I know people like to compare open-world games such as this to GTA, and GTA is one of my favorite video game series, but Sleeping Dogs is - to this day - in my top 5 favorites, and there isn’t a GTA game that holds such a place in my heart.

@@kummakummakummakummakummac8606 GTA Online is the only thing which would clearly make GTA V the better game, but purely comparing single player would make the argument much closer. The story for Sleeping Dogs was kick ass and most of the characters were better and more likeable than the ones in GTA V because none of them were amoral superhumans with super abilities like in GTA V. While Sleeping Dogs had good looking cars, the guns, driving and customization were better in GTA V, but Sleeping Dogs probably had the better story, voice acting and hand to hand combat. While GTA V had a huge map, Sleeping Dogs had the better overall theme than GTA V because it really felt like the real Hong Kong - characters spoke in Cantonese, things like rubbish bins, taxis and double deckers made it way more immersive than San Andreas and Los Santos, both of which are completely fictional. Sleeping Dogs did some things better than GTA V. The argument over Sleeping Dogs and GTA V single player should be considered a stalemate, which is impressive considering Sleeping Dogs only runs on a single disc, while GTA V on the Xbox 360 needed installations and long loading times, I'm sure everyone can agree it's a damn shame there's no sequel for Sleeping Dogs, at least for now.

I was scared it wouldn't hold up, but it stands up perfectly today.

Which made me realize how well they translated the feel of the city. The Chinese style beats in the soundtrack inspired me immensely with my own music.

Also gameplay wise, Wei can counter any attack and can heal his health back via Face meter, also one of his outfits blocks 75% damage done to him, while tea buff for total of 90% damage blocked.

@@xillerrz7328 The wounds in Kiwami were done for sake of Majima everywhere, in original Yakuza 1, Kiryu could get destroyed by dudes with katanas, it was meme around that time. The counters, if you mean Tiger drop, needs person to attack in order to perform it, Wei just needs to stand still and do counters, as Kiryu cant Tiger drop counters(reference: Majimas breaker style in kiwami, when he does the heel spin kick after you try to spam him). Wei can do 360 counter easily, all he needs to do is wait for Kiryu to hit and counter, thats all. Im not talking about lore wise combat, but gameplay wise, in story and all Kiryu is portrayed as badass and unkillable, but compare it to normal gameplay, Kiryu is squishy and cant do much in hands of unexperienced player. Wei on other hand, can perform total chad moves and style in hands of even disabled person, the fact he can take out anyone with his knee-to face combo and counter just by pressing E shows how unfair that would be to Kiryu. Also side note, Wei was kicked out of San Francisco for being too "brutal" to his victims and he managed to make Big Smile Lee bleed(in documents it was said he is tough dude rarely gets hurt in combat) so trust me, he would make Kiryu feel pain.

I got Sleeping Dogs on a whim when I bought my PS3 and was looking for starter games on the console. I binge-played it in about two days, then played it again because I found its storyline, graphics and controls to be engrossing and a welcome break from so many other GTA clones you'd mentioned. When I heard SD2 was in development, I was stoked for the possibility of seeing where Wei-Shen's story went next. Such a shame it was scuttled due to Square's micromanagement of UFG. If I ever see a Kickstarter for a true version of SD2, I'll be backing it for sure. As it is, I have Sleeping Dogs for my PS4 now, and I play it every year. Well done video, GVMERS.
