I think that if I recurre to fast travel in an open world game, I've realized that the game is pretty much worthless from that point on. This made me avoid completely any kind of fast-travel options and actually enjoyed driving more than the game itself. I've always been a sucker for Ninja Tune and other similar labels like Hyperdub (Burial being my all time, delicatessen pleasure, favorite artist ever) and playing Sleeping Dogs, robing a luxury car and driving around at midnight while raining and suddenly Ninja Tune radio starts playing "Soft Room by Lorn", Floating Point's remix of "Tailor Made" or "Miles to go by Stateless" was nothing short of mesmerizing. This game set some bars in real life for me. I thought the world was stupidly beautiful to play at.
#SLEEPING DOGS DEFINITIVE EDITION REDDIT FULL#
I think it's by far the most enjoyable open world game I've ever played, full period. I've done yearly runs of this game since I first played on PS3. IMO it's a good game but falls short of great. And for some reason I found input a touch laggy and unreliable. I often wanted fast travel when traveling from one city district to another. Currency balance was all over the place, where stealing one luxury car for Tong could net several hundred k but major story missions give less than 10% that. The early night market and docks areas are atmospheric and well populated but most of the map is relatively unmemorable. On the downside, the world design wasn't amazing. Slow mo vault shooting felt cool and the melee system wasn't too bad, albeit shallow and abusable.
Sure the sleeping dogs approach is ridiculous but in GTA V you are supposed to just sit in a dark corner until they forget about you - it's a very boring system that discourages risk taking (early GTAs didn't have this problem as you could make a break for a paint job). And being able to end cop chases by taking out the cop cars. An 'augmented reality' approach to navigation, with arrows appearing on the road, not just the minimap. There are two things I really liked about sleeping dogs compared to GTA V.
