Re: Sleeping Dogs

After clocking in about 14 hours in the past day and a half (something I haven't done in years), I must say I'm really enjoying the game, far more than I expected.

I doesn't re-invent the wheel (in fact, it lifts lots of different elements from lots of different games), but it does so much and so well, it ends up forming a whole cohesive, fun, game experience.
Unlike other open-world games, the missions seem a little more interesting, and a little less repetitive, probably because you do missions for both triads and cops, so while for the first faction you do the usual running and gunning and taking "x" person to "y" place, with the cop missions you do a little bit of investigative work, and it's a nice change of pace.

Even the non-story missions and collectables are a rather fun diversion. It helps that the city of Hong Kong has lots of chances for "vertical" gameplay: you climb and jump through buildings, construction sites, ...

On the technical front, the controls are pretty great once you get the hang of it (the fighting, in particular, is rather fun, with all the different techniques, finishers and environmental kills), the graphics are lovely (I'm playing on a 4 year old PC, and the game runs smoothly at near maximum settings (only AA and SSAO is not at the maximum setting available)), the voice acting is great, with lots of familiar voices, and there's a kick-ass track selection for the in-game radios (what else can I say, when Warp and Ninja Tune have a radio station each =D>; driving around listening to Plaid, Squarepusher, Clark, LFO, Autechre, Coldcut, The Cinematic Orchestra, or "oldies" from Tears for Fears, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Queen, The Who, and many more is seriously awesome!).

Overall, Sleeping Dogs is, for me, a very nice surprise, and I can't wait to play some more.
It's one of those rare games I see myself completing 100%, including all the little collectibles, because it's just so damn fun, even just driving around seeing the sights and listening to some awesome music, or picking up some fights to drop someone on a garbage container, or on the back of a car.

Re: Psygnosis (developers of wipEout) shut down by Sony

I'll always identify Psygnosis with the Amiga. The games looked and sounded best by far on that platform.

Lemmings and Shadow of the Beast were fantastic, but don't forget about Barbarian! A classic.

And their box art goes down as among the best in the biz:

Re: I win I lose I win you win. I'm not Dave Chappelle

If you're sad enough to handout warnings and bannings like penny sweets, you're sad enough to make a bunch of stuff up to encourage sympathy from others.


Not to mention he is a proven liar with his fake coby accounts he made in previous months that he used to defend himself during the outing :lol:

No one is saying you are faking it, but it was right after you received our $500 that you started getting all these new systems and games. I believe you are sick, but maybe that money for rent you didnt think you were getting just came a bit late and the cash was just used for your collection.

The greatest thing is that we can actually call you out now for what you really are and you cant delete our posts or ban us for telling the truth. It's not that you "changed in a year and a half", you were always the same person that when given power you abused it and really hurt this site. Your "funny" 12 year old posts about dildo's and man boobs were always fine and dandy in general discussion but new members in the Shenmue forums that had questions were assaulted and flamed. It's no wonder people were scared to sign up or stay once they did.

You can play the sympathy card all you want, but at the end of the day everyone is forced to deal with the shit of life.. You just have to learn to man up and live a life..preferably one that also takes place outside of the living room on a couch in front of video games and a computer. Since you are so sick, you should really, honestly try to make the absolute best out of life. If you have so little time left try to experience the beauty in real people or the wilderness. Utah is a beautiful state maybe go on some tours and meet some people of the flesh.

Re: AVATARS AND SIGS

No offense guys but all of this is getting slightly pathetic. I guess things haven't really cooled down that much... As I said in another topic. It's like some bitterness hanging around which wasn't there before.


Everything/everyone has cooled down except for one person. The drama and rows that plagued these boards for so long had ceased, except for one person (who ironically said that they left because of all the drama. Coincidence?? I think not!). Either way, this place as a community will survive, and we will do our utmost to make sure that's so. The community is bigger than 1 Shenmue fan, or 1 person. So if this person has no place within the community, then we will ensure that they are not welcome here to take part.


One last thing, well done to Henry for handling this tonight. The word "Thanks" doesn't get used often enough on these boards, except outside of a button. But he handled tonight extremely well, with the skills he was selected to be a moderator. Hats off dude =D>

Then reset your PS3 and sign in with your UK Netflix account and you get tons more shows and films.

Re: The alcohol thread

Where I work, people frequently talk about getting wanting to get as absolutely drunk as possible, I feel sad for those people, since that's their very existence and that's literally all they talk about. I mean, I can understand wanting to go out for a drink to relax or just getting themselves drunk at a party of some kind, it happens, but to actively seek out a lifestyle that involves nothing but getting drunk? Pathetic existence. Like southcarmain and a couple of others on here, I don't drink, but when I do, it's normally a cider I'll go for. It tastes good and is still to this day, the only alcoholic drink I can safely say that about. When I was in college, I used to go out and get drunk all of the time, but realised it was a bit of a useless exercise that resulted in nothing but pain the next day and that was not enjoyable. And having seen the effects alcohol has had on people, it was enough to put me off. So yeah, I don't go out of my way to drink myself to oblivion like others where I am, do.

Re: A challenge for an internet whizz-kid

Do you have the instrumental for the song? It might be a little easier to track down and if you can get that its possible to make an a capella from the original song by inverting the phase of the instrumental in an audio program.

Here's a tutorial on how its done if you're interested:

Re: This Gen is in the twilight so it's time to reflect

I distinctly-remember being blown away by the 360 when it came out. I also distinctly-remember feeling that the Wii's graphics were those of old console from the previous gen. I feel the same towards Wii U. Mildly more capable than what we've had for years, different controller.

When the latest GTA/Call of Duty/Big Name Franchise of Your Choosing fails to appear on PS3/360, we can say that this generation is ending. Let's have this topic in a couple years, when all the cards are on the table. Next Christmas we'll still be getting huge AAA games for our PS3s and 360s, for fuck sake!
