    As a fan of both I'd say this for a more serious side.

    The Saints Row series is great, but SR3 just went over the top and kind of strayed away from what made SR 1 and 2 so amazing. Plus 1 and 2 had more DLC and replay value.

    SR3 seems like that fun ride, that gets more upgrades but doesn't leave you excited or accomplished afterwards.

    Sleeping Dogs, makes you lose sleep and pray for more DLC and overall add-ons to the already amazing story that is placed within it.

      If you want a good story and IMO better gameplay, then Sleeping Dogs.

      If you just want to have a silly vulgar experience blowing **** up (not that there's anything wrong with that), get Saint's Row 3.

      I had fun with both, but if I had to choose it would be Sleeping Dogs.

I don't feel like starting over, so hopefully this is possible.

              I think I know what happened to my saved game, my friends came over and wanted to play it late this summer, so instead of letting them play my game I told them to start a new game.
              So today I sucked it up and started a new game, and it prompted me that my current auto saved game would be overwritten! So I think thats what happened when my saved game, it was over written when my friends started a new game when they came over this past summer. I dont understand why this game does not give you a choice to pick another save slot for a new game? Are you telling me you can only play one Story in this game?

                Manually save in a different slot.

                    I believe this game started out as a sequel to True Crime, but then the developers went in a different direction and made it a standalone title.
                    That's why a lot of people think it was a sequel.

                      Activision canceled it, SquareEnix picked up the game and since they didn't buy the name, they renamed the game. It was picked up late enough in the dev cycle that not that much could have changed, Sleeping Dogs is True Crime: Hong Kong in everything but name.

                        It may be a successor, but it's not a sequel. There's nothing in the storyline that carries over from a True Crime game.

                          Yah... The only thing that was "True Crime" about it WAS the name. This may have started out under that umbrella but this is no more a "True Crime" game than it is a "Grand Theft Auto" game.

                            Sleeping Dogs was originally called True Crimes of Hong Kong, in which after the studio went out of business.

                            Square Enix picked up the project and gave them a higher budget to work with to help improve development.

                            The name was later changed to Sleeping Dogs, since it was no longer with the previous studio and the name was re-done as well. Since the game was also in a different era of the other titles.

                            Either way I'm happy the way it turned out. Game is fantastic. I own it on PC and 360! The PC's enhanced texture pack make it a whole different product, and shows how the game truly should look.
