Sleeping Dogs on sale on Origin

For $8.50 normally $24.99, if you want it, now is the time to get the game.

It's a pretty good game, I finished it last week. I had my issues with it, but overall it's simply fun. Definitely worth its price.

oh this is hilarious, Origin sold the game, but you have to activate and install in through steam. They have a disclaimer saying "It's a Steam works game and is not affiliated with Origin in anyway or form"

HA!

That's how I got Tomb Raider. Bought on Origin, played on Steam.

Wait what...they sold it on Origin, but you play it through Steam?

Ok Origin...ok...

Steam does the same thing, just replace Origin with Uplay.

Sleeping Dogs is a really good game though. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.

I've never once in my life used UPlay, I didn't know that.

Sarcasm retracted.

not on PC. the only games I've played of theirs are Assassin's Creed, and that was all on the xbox. The copy of AC1 I have on PC, I was able to play through Steam.

Okay, even with my GPU's I can only play Sleeping dogs on medium graphics, and it STILL looks freaking amazing!

So far I'm really liking it, it's like GTA meets Assassins creed plus an amalgam of a bunch of other games so far. The melee combat system is really smooth and feels natural, not to mention the animation quality is simply superb from what I've seen.

Honestly guys, if you've been on the fence, and have a rig that can run it, I highly recommend picking it up. From what I've played, it was worth every single freaking penny

Sleeping Dogs is a good game

I hyped it up when it was new on here

Also Im not surprised you can run it on anything higher then MED with a GTX 570

FYI the anti-aliasing brings your framerate down a shitload. Might want to mess around with custom settings a bit.

The HD texture pack didn't seem to slow me down at all but I played with anti-aliasing either off or on the lowest setting.

I could play it totally maxed out and totaly maxxed out AA with like 48fps it said in the benchmark lol,I could put the AA to like 4x and get 60 easily. I need to play it through with a controller though,it was weird clicking the mouse to fight

Yes this is a controller game

I have no problems using the mouse, but then again, I've been away from the console world for a while now, so I'm probably just accustomed to PC controls now.

Some games need a pad IMO

Yeah, Origin in my country has good deals. I guess EA knows how fucked up we are, so they adjust prices accordingly. Ex: Tomb Raider on consoles would be about 75 dollars here at launch. In Origin, it was at about $40. They had a sale with everything at 50% a couple of weeks ago, so I got Tomb Raider with some doubts (because, EA) for 15 dollars. Turns out it was a Steam Game so it was a win-win situation for me, because Steam and GMG are more expensive than Origin in Mexico (as weird as it sounds). Which reminds me, I just finished Tomb Raider. 6/10 -insert reviewer comment-

Also, Sleeping Dogs isn't that taxing. I have a GTX 660 Ti and 3570k with 8GB RAM. I had no trouble running it with the best textures (it's a free DLC you can get on Steam, ultra high res pack or something), shadows, etc. I just tone down AA and some other fancy shit that doesn't make much of a difference, but causes performance to take a big hit for some reason. Of course, I was playing on my crappy 1400 x 900 monitor, but still.

at 1080 gotta turn down AA with the high res texture pack

I just used the minimum AA. x2 and x4 are still a noticeable change from each other, but any more and it's just diminishing returns.

I had like 16x or maybe 32x >__> . think the most was 16 though
