I remember my favourite movies being Jackie Chan’s excellent The Legend of The Drunken Master, Police Story-also by Jackie Chan-and Chow Yun-fat’s Hard Boiled.
#Sleeping dogs definitive edition tips movie#
You Look Like You Could Use A Pork Bun!Ī large portion of my childhood was spent gaming and whenever there wasn’t a controller in my hands I was most likely watching some Hong Kong action movie that I definitely should not have been watching, but-thankfully-my parents had a relaxed policy on age-restricted content. 5 years later GTA V would fix most of the issues players had with its previous title, but there existed a void between the two GTA games that was very briefly filled by Sleeping Dogs. April 2008 saw the release of the critically acclaimed GTA IV-it is without a doubt a fantastic game-but I, as well as many other people, would criticise it for having sluggish vehicles and a camera that seemed to be actively trying to sabotage the player’s fun.
Sleeping Dogs was released in August 2012-4 years after GTA IV and 1 year prior to GTA V-and this was likely a contributing factor to its charm with many players. A quick name change and Sleeping Dogs was born. But, even though things were looking bleak, Square Enix swooped in and acquired the rights to the game but not to the True Crime franchise. However, in 2011, Activision cancelled the project claiming “quality issues” as the reason.

Sleeping Dogs is a sort of spiritual successor to the True Crime series-which I played almost every day after school as a young kid-that sadly performed poorly and so Activision cancelled any sequels in development and put the franchise on hold… Until 2007. Sleeping Dogs openening with a classic Hong Kong style foot chase. I eventually employed The Goldilocks Principle and argued that, while GTA is often too satirical for my taste and Saints Row was too silly, Sleeping Dogs was just right for me, but even that felt like I was copping out so I decided to some research on the game and the developers behind so that I might better understand why I adore this Sleeping Dogs. Games like Shenmue, Mass Effect and Uncharted impressed me enough that I play through them once a year to relive the experience, but-unlike Sleeping Dogs-I know exactly why I like those games and I could write hundreds of pages detailing my reasons. A MAN WHO NEVER EATS PORK BUNS IS NEVER A WHOLE MAN!Īdvertisements I was recently asked why I-and so many other gamers-love Sleeping Dogs so much, but I couldn’t really provide an answer that satisfied me.
