    Of course the latter's going to have better shooting... it's a freakin' shooter!
    I was responding to a post that stated that sleeping dogs did "literally everything" better than spec ops.

    And, it was a stated goal by united front that all elements of the game be on par with games in those genres. So they themselves are making the comparison, too.

    I don't want to hear people in this thread complaining about score creep. I gave it an 8!

      What it does and tries to do I think it does it well. Sure, some things are merely scripted actions, but its still fun and they throw in little things to spice it up every once in a while. Its nice that the missions feel more than simply drive here and do this when actually they're just that.

        Meh...Non-Sports Game Of the Year candidate for sure. This should be mentioned right up there with the best of 2012...easy.

            If we were doing a bracket for GOTY sleeping dogs would be one of the last four out for sure. Will wind up top 10 of the year most likely.

            That's actually a really good idea for a feature...hmmmmmm.

              I got the achievement for Safe Driver last night. I think my final time was 2:42, but that was only because of some ******* deciding to change lanes while I was passing him. Driving in this game is a blast. Its not just the mechanics that are fun, but the things that come with it like the stat records, the radio stations, and of course the action hijack. Seriously, its awesome as hell to fling yourself off of a motorcycle and hijack a cash truck.


              I also discovered the power of the Ninja takedown. That thing makes fights way too easy. I managed to get through Fight Club KT on my first try last night. The Kung Fu Hustle outfit is pretty nice, but I like the Rumble in the Bronx outfit so I'm rolling with that for the time being.

              What is the best way to increase your Triad Score? I redid the first mission last night and actually scored less than my first time through.

              I went to The Wedding last night. Crazy ****. I love how the gun levels are just kind of sprinkled throughout to keep it from being overkill. I also like how the guns have slightly different feels. I was seriously waiting for doves to pop out during that whole mission.

                Buy the clothes that give you a 15% bonus triad score - I think they're the Red Pole set (you'll have to go to a bunch of stores to get them and you have to wear the shoes, pants and shirt). Use them on main story missions since those are the only ones you can get triad points on.

                If you have two triad stars or less on any of the main story missions that are worth more than 600 or 700 points, replay those with the 15% triad clothes on. The missions that are worth less points than that (i.e., the first mission) it doesn't matter that much to max out your triad score because there isn't much difference in total points for 2 or 3 stars.

                When you're fighting, vary your combat as much as possible - use lots of counters, try to finish off people with a heavy attacks and use the upper level moves as much as possible as you unlock them.

                When you're in a chase scene, try to blow up the cars and hit the driver instead of just blowing out the tires. When you're gun fighting, go for lots of head shots. Use explosive kills whenever you can. Use the slow down shooting mechanic, and use the jump over cover disarm feature.

                I ended up maxing my triad with maybe 3 missions left so don't worry about replaying too many missions until near the end unless you're looking for a specific perk. Most of the missions near the end are worth 1500 points easily.

                  Just beat this last night and got the plat. - great game! I'm hoping there's at least one or two decent story line DLC's for this one since they seem to have so much planned.

                  So any sequel predictions?

                    I just finally got to the part where you have to beat the thugs up at the park

                    I just read somebody ran them all over so I ended up doing that too when I couldn't lick them

                    The camera sucked though and it looked like my car was a magnet for everybody. Complete chaos with car accidents but I won anyway lol

                          I think the problem Money and I was referring to was the thugs at the bball courts. I know what you're referring to though. You're way early in the storyline

                                I just got the ability to disarm thugs with guns, so lets see how that works

                                This guy can't take many punches or bullets for that matter
