I envy you playing it for the first time. That game is amazing.

wang, which one do you like more so far?

please don't say "both" or "only the PC versions"

I do have to say, the studio did an excellent job with the PC version.

Haven't played Darksiders II yet because I'm slowly making my way through the first one (I hope there's no shooting in the sequel because it really sucks in the first one). What The Bill said, too.

As for Sleeping Dogs, it is GTA-ish but if you threw in Arkham Asylum styled combat. Hong Kong is a much fresher setting than other sandbox games and it's nice playing a character who actually has good motivations. The cars don't control like GTA IV at all...more of a video game feel to their movement, the story is pretty good so far, action highjacking a car is fun (jumping out of your car onto the roof of another), there's cockfights (!), and the combat is satisfying....lots of moves to unlock and the environmental kills add some variety. It seems to have a lot of content but not so much it'll overstay its welcome. I'm at 7 or 8 hours playtime with less than a third of the story finished. I'm guessing 25 to 30+ hours depending on how much I mess around.

There's no "Hey cousin! Let's go see titties!" annoyances or "I don't want to kill anymore. Let's go rob a bank." stupidity. People only call you if they've got a mission and so far the missions have continually gotten better. It's nice because all the collectibles improve the main character's stats (mainly "Face" which unlocks certain tiers of cars and clothes) or give you cash / items and later on in the game after you level up a bit, every collectible will show up on your map. I never doing racing missions in sandbox games but here they improve your Face level a lot so I actually do them. If you like Hong Kong action movies, you should definitely play it. The shooting tutorial is probably the most clever tutorial I've played in a long time, really well done.

The pre-order bonuses kind of suck and the DLC so far looks forgettable. I got a Swat team mission where you just ride in a car and shoot criminals chasing you. No real transition or dialogue during the chase so it seems kind of half finished. Also got a GSP outfit pack and it seems kind of worthless.

Edit: Oh yeah, there's a button for ramming cars while driving and it's awesome.

Edit 2: And fuck reviews that complain about controls, they just suck at the game. The controls, especially in combat, are pretty fluid and work well. The camera can be a bit wonky but that's just about every game.

I may just end up keeping it on my game self like I do with GTA and Dead Space which I haven't touched in a while.
