I don't know how far ahead you have recorded, but you missed some stuff in the vox secret room. There is an open safe by the table in the middle of the room. Also a lock pick under one of the slot machines in the other building.

Look at what I forgot to upload for two months.
Firstly I actually really love that race against Hotshot just because gently caress you he is such an rear end in a top hat. Also I love the song that played during that part, My Drum Machine by Lorn I think.

Secondly, what the gently caress how did you do that with the bike valet, that was amazing. :allears: Mrs. Chu does not gently caress around and it was this that made me love her as one badass mama.

Elizabeth's line about the puppy is, in my opinion, the perfect summarisation of her personality. It's naively innocent yet at the same time very independent and surprisingly fitting for how short-sighted the people of Columbia are for basically wanting the same sort of entitlement in one sentence.

It speaks a lot about both her as someone realising the unfairness of this world, and the people around her as people far too naive to comprehend greater turns of events. Maybe I'm just reading too much but I just really loved that line in particular. Also yeah Hall of Heroes is the most goddamn uncomfortable place to be in at first but the ludicrousness actually works for me here as being more of a nightmarishly warped vision of the world overexaggerated to the point of well, a nightmare would be.

I am disappointed none of you said "Wei's Anatomy"...but I do agree we'd have a lot less crying and a lot less "the more I watch this show the more unlikeable they become" syndrome.

So, do you ever like, need a taxi really badly and you JUST see one before it drives the gently caress off away from you, but when you never need one they're like loving everywhere?
Or is that just me?

You really should have got Uncle Po a J. Jiggler (tm) Jersey so he gets super rad Face and recover in like no time.

I like Jackie, he's kind of a dumb poo poo but a well-meaning dumb poo poo, he doesn't deserve a lot of the crap that gets dumped on him and in the end he's just your best friend who'll do anything to help you while also failing at it.
He reminds me a lot of Larry Butz from Phoenix Wright. A loveable failure that means way too well but never gets quite that far. And to be fair, he DID manage to punch that one guy out right before you went and faced Yung so he CAN punk a bitch. Just that poo poo got really bad for him :( dammit.

I think the reason I love Sleeping Dogs so much is that it lets you choose your tone, something a lot of sandbox games don't really allow (Saints Row 2 and to an extent 4 do, though as a superpower sandbox that's sort of in its own category). You're in this really intense story of violence and loyalty and violence and coping with an ambiguous upbringing and violence, but in between all the snapped legs and swordfish related murder is karaoke and goofy outfits and the fact that if you do a wheelie on a motorcycle into oncoming traffic you will straight up ramp some cars. Letting little bits of sillyness that the player can find and embrace makes for genuine contrast when the more shocking stuff happens, and it's spaced out well enough that it does make an impact and create the sense that Wei is in too deep.

In case you couldn't tell, this is straight up my favourite (non superpower) GTA-like ever, barring maybe Saints Row 2 :allears:

e: also the fact that the ridiculous action-hijack button doubles as a button to let me hit motorcyclists and pedestrians with the car door. This should be in every game, regardless of genre.

Not at all, given that the other 2 dlc chapters are somehow even more ridiculous than the Zodiac tournament. One has the best character who we haven't seen yet feeding us antifreeze and the other has Wei Shen declare war on a holiday.

e: oh, and here's something neat that came out before the game, chronicling the 63rd most brutal fight that Wei Shen has been in. Nothing to do with the game, but I like to think that it happened while Wei was in America.

I happened to be cruising Youtube when this went up, but the first cutscene told me that I had to wait for the uncut version.

I'm so glad I did, that was magical :swoon: Shame that King drops out of the game after this, but he will always live on in our hearts. I just love how much this game isn't afraid of having fun with itself, and it always seems to produce the best little glitches and AI hiccups. As demonstrated here, minor dlc spoilers but the first thirty seconds are the good bit and pretty spoiler free.

We also have ourselves King, who is the Hong Kong heir to the Dynasty of Strange Interpretations bloodline and kind of just warps reality in whatever way is most amusing at the moment.

This is the best loving mission :allears: Old Salty Crab is one of my absolute favourite characters and he's such a jolly old soul. He's like a drunk mall santa who kinda weirds you out cuz he keeps eyeing your rear end, but you like him so much that you just let him anyway.
This was a hilarious mission to do, I even have a save file kept just before this to replay it again. Also, did anyone notice how you got HUGE points on your Triad score for MISCHIEF?!
Like "oh yeah sure you burned a guy's face off in an incinerator but CHECK OUT WEI SHEN HE JUST REPROGRAMMED SOME DUDE'S CLOCK THE WRONG TIME :lol:"

I'm horribly late with this, but what ever happened to Dunkaroos? They were everywhere when I was little, now I can't find them anywhere. Those things were amazing.

Edit: Also in part 12, the reason Wei doesn't take a boat to follow Ilyana is presumably because it would be drat suspicious if the guy took her and then you just immediately tailed him in plain sight to where he was going. Whereas going by motorbike he won't see you, and then you can get a boat to get to where his place is once he's arrived and you know its location. So that makes some sense. Now, why you didn't just go buy some fancy cell phone or something and bug it and use that as the bet instead of a person, I have no idea. Because excitement, I would bet.

Also, Salty reminds me a lot of Ziggy from The Dagger of Amun Ra.

With Ilyana he's more likely to go straight to where he's keeping the rest of the girls to drop her off.
