>no sequel ever
Fuck Square Enix.

theres a mission in this game where you drive a famous black man to a club and beg him to fuck asian women to appease him. its a total cuck ritual out of nowhere, no wonder you guys love it so much

>>714356737 (OP)
Quality instead of quantity maybe.
The world was probably smaller than your average nu-GTA map(s), but felt more densely packed. There was shit to do and it all tied in with the underlying vibes of 90s asian themed action movies, like the street racing, street fighting and what not.

I also like that gunplay wasn't the focus of how you did combat.
Story was cool, the romance shit was funny and all in all, I just had more fun playing Sleeping Dogs than with any GTA or SR game.

It's like DMOMM (or Vagrant Story), just a good game and one that deserves it's good ratings not for the franchise or it's name, but for it's qualities. Which is rare nowadays.

nothing, if not we would Sleeping dogs 4 Return of Wei shen by now

>>714356737 (OP)
good game, mismanaged like shit, went overbudget, big chunks of the story cut toward the end to fit it all together, dlc has recurring characters that aren't even voices by the original people because those were half finished too. ends up being pretty successful despite all of this, only for the company to put ALL THEIR FUCKING CHIPS INTO A FUCKING MMO VERSION OF THE GAME THAT NO ONE WANTED and people wonder why no sequel.

You mean with the first part of the game, right? It went downhill when you got to the second and the third city.

Why would HK radio stations have nigger rap?

Eh very little. The music was nice and the amount of clothing to put on was fun and the martial arts instructor had the only bit of interesting character work with Wei, but everything else was a dud.

>>714356737 (OP)
It could have been better if they toned down the scale of the open world and focused more on the fighting and shooting.
They should make a sequel that ditches the whole undercover cop schtick and lets you go balls out against triads

wasn't constantly trying to be tongue in cheek le wacky which is one of the many things that makes gtav a bore to play through if you're mentally above the age of 8
the gangsters are appropriately brutal but still portrayed as human which is why wei's internal conflict works as opposed to nugta having everyone be haha silly violence and dood weed because its funny
of course it still had some humor and silliness but it didn't detract from or override the tension and drama of the overall plot
its insane that that's something that makes it stand out from its peers but that's a post james gunn world for you

Yakuza minus the slapstick

>>714358708
Most people who claim they love Sleeping Dogs have never actually played through it

Because it's GTA IV but done well.

>>714358708
Make it more obvious you've never been to a bar with friends.

>>714356737 (OP)
Its unique setting. No other game captures the magic of Hong Kong quite like this
>>714358708
And here come the poltrannies who don't actually care about videogames.

>>714368010
Wei’s VA voices a very significant character in Yakuza 7, interestingly enough. Did a good job there too.

everybody loves kung fu fighting.

>>714369846
HUH!

>>714369846
hey I was just watching Po rn.
that was a good song.

>>714358469
They made a f2p shit then canceled it

>>714368010
and Japanese setting
nad Japanese culture
and Japanese humor
and JRPG quests
and JRPG exploration
and inventory management
and not having cars
and never using guns
and hostess club management
and way bigger focus on story, dialogue, and characters
and iconic protagonist that goes through a lifelong journey throughout 10 games
and the game being a beat 'em up + JRPG fusion game instead of just GTA in Hong Kong

>>714363286
It does

>>714358708
Kek I don't recall that. What's the mission name or number?

Kiryu gets worse with each installment.
