Re: Rockstar games better bring it with GTA V because sleeping dogs is killing them a
I dunno what some of you kats are talking about but, Sleeping Dogs has raised the bar in terms of the sandbox genre. The game is perfect, I can't find a single thing wrong with it. I was addictive to that game from start to end and this is coming from a casual gamer. And yes it will give GTA a run for it's money. GTA is like the iphone where the brand is more popular than the quality of the game itself, well at least if you were to use GTA 4 as an example.

Perfect?! Now it's far from that. What did SD have that was so revolutionary besides the combat system which was actually just bringing back the old True Crime style of combat in a sandbox game really???
I can specifically name a few things that are big factors missing in a sandbox game like this and why it's not on GTAs level.
- The map was pretty small.
- No physics. In a day & age where most games like this have some type of real time physics, I was very disappointed with the physical interactions in the game. I've become a stickler for physics since Real-Time Physics have been introduced which GTA has now.
- The story wasn't anything new.
- It was kind of repetitive with not a lot of unique missions.
- Vehicular options weren't nearly as good.
- Vehicular control was a bit stiff.
- There really weren't even as many mini-games and I didn't feel like the freelance mode (not doing missions) had enough options to really even keep you occupied when you didn't wanna do a mission or finished. There wasn't a lot of different character types to even fuck with on the street.
- What was up with the lack of ability to keep a weapon or two around...?
- I had 3 missions to had to complete restart due to glitches.
1) On a chase scene my motorcycle started riding all herky-jerky on its own and I'd fall off after a few seconds later.
2) At the end of another chase I got stuck inside the street.
3) Can't remember the other.
The game just had a few of the best elements of True Crime and Just Cause but it doesn't surpass GTA or even give them a run for the money at this point. Maybe another SD can, but not this one for the reasons I mentioned already. SD had
