Sleeping Dogs

[Piyush]

Resumed this game yesterday. Finding it difficult to beat those fat brawlers (who kick you in the nuts). Also, any specific strategy to take down armed thugs?

And there is something bugging me about missions, how do I find the side quests? Sometimes they appear on mini-map and sometimes they dont.

1. Wait for to press the right mouse button precisely .. and when they caught you keep pressing right mouse button or press the left mouse button to kick any enemy in front of you and then the right mouse button. Once you get rid of those fat bellies try to beat them up from a distance using jump and kicks or if you have a knife or cleaver that will work better. If you get pinned just press the F button on KB at the right moment. Fighting in SD is the easiest thing IMO

2. Make use of the large map by pressing the Tab button and use the phone for more.

hmm... thanks

Fighting is still difficult for me even if i'm put against just 2 fat thugs.

Now that I have completed Saints Row The Third, I am thinking about starting this game. Should I start this or go back to my usual RPG stuff ??

practice getting the timing right. and if you are fighting a group with a bully, take out any small thug first. if the bigger guy takes you into some kind of submission and smacks you the others usually join and give you a public beating.
another way is to keep 1 thin guy alive. if you run low on health, go and take him out and you receive little heath. i noticed something like that when i took part in some road side fight for money.

Try this for a change. But make sure you play this game with HD textures or else it'd look pale.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give this one a shot, about DLCs, I have all the DLCs of this game. HD Pack and all.

this happens when you perform some really eye catching action option ( or what the game thinks ) and doing it increases your xp/face meter ( the yellow thing beside health bar ) and health as well and gives you a little extra boost.

The best way to increse health is to find and worship all those orange/red colored half height pools and this will add a blue bar into your health bar and makes the game a lot more easier.

Started this game today
Playing it on 720p medium settings still enjoying a lot!!

PLayed around 3hours but haven't encountered any guns yet?

PS: Amanda is so pretty <3


Will it be more fun on a controller? It's camera movements with mouse aren't very good like gta

 

[gameranand]

Yeah this game is more about hand to hand combat and less about guns so you'll find guns in lesser amount than expected.

Also is it more fun with a controller?
The camera movements with mouse suck

Its also playable with controller yes. Camera movement is something which is awkward at first but then I got used to it.
