Sleeping Dogs (2012)

Just finished playing through the game and it's "DLC" content (Year of the Snake, Nightmare on North Point).
Overall, the game is very solid. I bought this game on sale on the Playstation store for PS4. At the time, the price point was approximately 10 US dollars. If you're very methodical about your game hours per dollar spent, Then I can say that, having clocked 30 hours in the game to finish it 100%, what you're getting is 30 cents per hour, give or take.
When I started playing, I did think the graphics were a little dated for modern game, specially on PS4, I was hoping for more detailed graphics to be honest. After the first couple of hours though, you completely forget that aspect of the game, as it's story is really immersive and the game does a good job at introducing to you the gameplay mechanics, which mainly involve the combat system, parkour and exploration.
The combat system is very simple, although, a little too reactionary if I may add, you'll find yourself pressing the counter button quite often if you're surrounded, as you won't be able to do long combos without taking damage. The parkour is ok, you'll notice that sometimes the game has some trouble detecting that what you want to do is jump over the fence if you're coming at it with an angle. And the exploration is ok as well, if you're anything of a completionist, you're going to like that as well, the only thing that I'd complain about in this section is that some vehicles handle really bad.
So, really, my opinion is that you won't mind platinuming this game, because the game is fun in it's own right.

Cons
-Navigation system for cars may lead you in circles or to the wrong location
-Some NPCs act crazy and ruin missions in the first few seconds (this is a bug more than likely - experienced this at least 8 times)
-DLC storylines do not let you use DLC items, weapons, etc
-No flying missions or vehicles
-Some graphical glitches could be seen but very rarely.
-Some NPCs do not interact with you at first try (mainly shops and vendors - more likely a bug)

The Cantonese accents are shit. Get real Hong Kong people to voice this. Edison Chen is a shithole. No one in Hong Kong in their right mind likes this guy. That's why he hasn't shown his face in Hong Kong for like 6-7 years. Don't support this shit.
