Sleeping Dogs (formerly True Crime: Hong Kong)

So it turns out I'm just an idiot and forgot to install the Zodiac Tournament DLC after downloading it.. So I started it up even though it warned me I should get more upgrades first. I proceeded to breeze right through it. Was it entertaining? Sure. Was it worth whatever it was I spent on it? Not really. Should you buy it? Probably not.

It's hard to argue with $4 but I agree it was still light on content. It starts out so cool with the 70's movie vibe and then never really goes anywhere with it. Plus, not having any trophies is just bullshit. They even include 10 collectibles to find around the island, but what's the motivation? I found them all because I'm a completionist but it was just a big waste of time.

I actually think the Wheels of Fury, Police Protection and YotS are the best DLCs. WoF could've been longer and should've had trophies too, but it doesn't.

They could have done a whole lot more with the set up that's for sure. AT LEAST have a Jim Kelly parody character, lol. But like you said, it was $4...

[Twigg4075]

Oh, Nightmare in Northpoint is good too but it is very repetitive.

[Twigg4075]

Now I know why I had no problems fully leveling my Triad and Face meters on PS3 but couldn't hit level 10 Triad. There are soooooo many more police missions in this game. I wish there were more Traid specific side missions.

the game is still amazingly awesome though,

[Twigg4075]

The more I play the 360 version the more I think it looks just as good as PS3, if not a bit brighter. It definitely loads quicker, at least initially at the main menu. When the game boots "Continue Game" appears almost immediately. on PS3 it always seemed to take quite a while for that option to load.

Fuck this game is great. I'm so glad I got it to play through it again. Just met Uncle Po and then started the missions for the Ho guy that owns the impound lot.

I got Nightmare in North Point and Year of the Snake since I found a sale.

I'm guessing you're on PC?

I'm guessing you're on PC?

Yup. Got both for under $4. It's a shame that the site doesn't have half the DLCs because I would have bought some of the mission packs as well.

Finished up the main story last night, I really liked how it all ended. I was going to start Year of the Snake but I just wanted to go around and do whatever I wanted after the story was over. Still tons to do. I say it a lot, but this might be the first game I play enough to get that platinum trophy.

But why would you do that? Trophies are so dumb.

But seriously, the toughest things were reaching level 10 Triad and getting Gold in all of the challenges. There are a lot that you just don't even come close to finishing even after doing everything there is to do in the game so you will have to grind them. It's too late now but hopefully you were wearing outfits that boosted your Triad XP when you did those missions. Even with me doing that I was still only at like 9 1/2. I tried checking online and ps3trophies.org recommended replaying the Minibus Racket mission to grind XP but that shit never worked for me. The XP bar just wouldn't move. After buying much of teh DLC when it was on sale, one of the packs gave you a big Triad boost so it hit level 10 and I got the trophy as soon as I booted up the game. I still had to grind the Gold challenges though.

I'm less than a quarter of the way to lvl 10 for the Cop XP and a little more than a quarter of the way away from lvl 10 for the Triad XP.

How do you replay missions to get Golds though?

You can go into the Social part of the main menu and replay missions. But you don't need to replay missions to get Gold. You know how occasionally you will see that window pop up in the lower right hand corner showing you how you've done with certain this against people on your friends list? Like with disarms, driving safely, etc? There are about thirty of those challenges and you have to get gold in all of them to get one of the trophies.

Does the Social hub actually work on consoles? I always get a "Cannot connect" error on the PC version.

Nice. I'll check it out after I beat this motorcycle race. Seems like a trophy I would wait and get last though.

Yep, I see Twigg and Jay's scores on things all the damn time.
