And I kind of agree - there's a bunch of little things that are annoying about the game that I wish they'd had a bit more time to polish. There's an interesting interview with the exec producer at the SD website, and a couple of times he says that a project like that is never really finished - in the end you have to just walk away form it at some point. In the hospital security vid, how much did Uncle Po look like Yoda?įor me, the hardest part was the first 10 or so missions before I'd got the hang of the hand-to-hand system, and before I'd gained some of the melee skills. Pretty good ending but I thought it was a bit too easy finishing of Big Smile. I have a feeling we might be seeing more Sleeping Dogs games in the future. It's great that all the hard work the developers put into it wasn't wasted because Activision decided to jump ship. The story, the kung fu, the occasional odd yet fun karaoke game, everything about the game was very well done. I just want to say, though, that I really liked the game overall. I was just expecting a much bigger ending to the story because of the way it builds and builds.

Maybe that can still be a possibility in a sequel. Maybe the more loyal higher-ups would listen to her but I think at some point some low level gangster with nothing to lose would still make a move to waste Wei Shen for just being a cop and lying about it. It doesn't even matter that the new boss, Jiang said he was to be left alone.

I mean yeah he kind of helped the Triad out in a big way by taking out 'Big Smile' Lee but still, HE WAS A COP. Edited Septemby AceRayįor those of you who have beat the game already:Ībout the ending. Furthermore, how much time passed before we see Wei at his house? He gets sliced, drilled, hammered, shot and pistol whipped, surely he wouldn't just heal instantly? It would probably be a few months? That definitely lost a lot of pacing in the final stages, it should have finished when Wei met Raymond at the stage and somehow tied everything else in there somehow. To expand upon what I said in the non spoiler bit, the game should have ended at the docks with Raymond. Also, was anyone really surprised when Pendrew turned out to be evil? From the moment he opened his mouth I could tell he was going to be butt f*cking everyone in the plot. Could have been really dramatic, but it never happened, considering how much it foreshadowed early on. It would have also made it more tragic for Jackie, as the only person whom he ever trusted turned out to be playing him the entire time, which would have been a twist on what usually happens in GTA (we're the ones being betrayed). The fact that Wei never really reveals to his Triad friends that he was a cop was definitely missing. I felt that it was being foreshadowed throughout the entire game and when it didn't happen I was a little bit disappointed. One scene I wish that was in there was a scene where Jackie or one of Wei's allies finding out he's undercover. Overall though, it was a good ending, better than most I've played recently, it summed up the plot nicely while still leaving things open with some alternative character interpretation. but then it doesn't and there's another scene and I think this is the end. I don't know, I felt the ending suffered a bit from Ending Fatigue. (Oh yes, I know, its technically not part of it but shut up)Īnyway, I finished the story today.

It has potential to be a really awesome franchise.
