Have you played Sleeping Dogs?
Which are your favourite vehicles?

Sleeping Dogs is set in a contemporary Hong Kong, which is split into four districts named after regions of the city. The game reveals the story of Wei Shen (Will Yun Lee), a former San Francisco police officer who was transferred to the Hong Kong Police Force and assigned the task to infiltrate and destroy a Triad organization known as the Sun On Yee (based on the Sun Yee On). The main storyline features two sub-plots: Shen's balance between completing his police mission whilst committing crimes to prove himself to the Triads, and missions assigned by a Triad lieutenant, including the assassinations of Triad members loyal to other lieutenants.

Shen's mission is coordinated by Police Superintendent Thomas Pendrew (Tom Wilkinson), and progress made by Shen is reported to his handler, Raymond Mak (Byron Mann). Shen infiltrates the Sun On Yee via his childhood friend Jackie Ma (Edison Chen), a low-level Triad member; and his loyalty is tested by the Triad boss Winston Chu (Parry Shen). Other characters in the game include the head of the Sun On Yee, David Wai-Lin "Uncle" Po (James Hong); fellow Triad bosses "Broken Nose" Jiang (Elizabeth Sung) and Henry "Big Smile" Lee (Tzi Ma); Shen's love interest Amanda Cartwright (Emma Stone); Winston's right-hand man, Conroy Wu (Robin Shou); singer Vivienne Lu (Lucy Liu); and Shen's girlfriend Not Ping (Celina Jade).

I dislike it, but that's just how I feel about 95% of western AAA games for a long time (and they're only getting worse). Western studios never could match Japanese ones though, aside from the rare outliers like...Rare, ironically.

I had fun with this game. I generally enjoy GTA-style games, and this was a good quality effort. Also own on Steam but haven't touched the PC version yet, but I do intend to go back to it at some point. It was not something I wanted to play again right away, but it's been probably 10 years so would like to revisit it.

I'm pretty much of the same opinion of most AAA games and studios lately. It's not often that I touch them or have much interest in doing so. I'd rather play indie or AA from one of the smaller publishers. I usually do wishlist most games from Square, though, but they just sit on the list for the most part and I never actually buy them.
