As much as I agree with you that too many sandboxes are set in the US, I've yet to play one that takes place in modern-day Europe. Both Just Cause games take place outside the western world, though and I suggest you give the second one a try.

Coincidentally steam is selling this game (Just Cause 2) for $4 right now.

Looks great. I love the way in one of the scenes he's shooting at a guy that's got a human shield, gets a perfect headshot on the guy then as he goes to shoot another enemy the npc that was being used as a shield just runs infront of the player and takes the bullet.

Something like that feels weird because it's strange no one every stumbled upon trying to do that. Trying to maneuver a vehicle through traffic (oncoming especially) while trying to gun down your target is stupid as hell. That was kinda the stuff that pissed me off about GTA4 and I was usually glad if you couldn't do that at all and didn't notice it anyway.

That plus they have like the crazy vehicle jacking stuff ala Just Cause games (or whatever came before them) that makes it even crazier. Did not know you could parkour around, I am even more excited about it now.

Your complaint is loving stupid. You know they're not actual cocks, right? They're a narrative and gameplay device used to both give the player something to do, while also conveying the culture of the area. This is supposed to be a sleazy crime-filled city, with citizens who's morals (for those who have them) differ greatly from yours. How is a writer going to show you that if it's conforming to your ideals in an attempt to appease you? Deus Ex, countless movies and I'm sure more games have done literally the same thing for the same reasons.


When there's a game that promotes cock fighting, then you can bitch. But until then, you look ridiculous. Nothing personal, but I thought we were above this conversation.

Dude, people are allowed to find things somewhat distasteful. I find the level of violence in some of the finishing moves to be a turn off, even though I know they're not actual people. Somebody finding a minigame in a video game where you have animals murder each other for profit to be in poor taste is not out of line for having that opinion. People can like or dislike whatever the hell they want, that's not stupid.

Now, not buying Sleeping Dogs and telling everyone how awesome it is? THAT would be stupid.

I don't want to start a conversation regarding morals and video games, but I will say that I'm sure the cock fighting is voluntary. At worst you might hear about it referenced or visit a location it's taking place from the plot but I'm sure the game won't make you actively bet and take part.

That Polish video makes the game look insanely more polished from when it was called True Crime. The animations, sound effects, details and fluidity are all coming together it seems. My expectations are definitely raised for the final product, it looks great.

\/\/ I'm not worked up :confused:. but I get that a lot online. There's something about my posting that makes me come across way more aggressive than I intend to be. Apologies.

Relax man. I don't like cockfighting and I don't want to experience it in a game. Hopefully I can brutalize the cockfighters in the virtual crime world and everything will be okay in the world. I'm not trying to bring up a big social derail. Also you should try being a little less aggressive and rude, it will help.

It made me laugh how in that German playthough, the guy goes into a massage parlor and is obviously disappointed that he's getting a professional massage by a dude. Then in this, the very first thing Wei does after getting a car is get an illegal backroom "massage" from an attractive woman.

One of the previously linked videos has a section where the player stripped down to his boxers, beat up random passers-by, stole some cars and wound up dying in a shoot-out with the cops. So yeah, you can do that.

The game lets you compete on-line for most consecutive crotch-shots. It might not be Saints Row but that doesn't mean they're making it impossible to do goofy poo poo.

I think the developers are just trying to show off all the things you can do, I think (hope) most people would get tired of trying to use all the death animations/interactions in every single fight they do pretty quickly.
