Nope, Yakuza is the a Japanese organized crime group with ~100.000 members.

Sleeping Dogs plays in Hong Kong and makes you a member (undercover) for the Sun On Yee (Sun Yee On in Reality).

Very good game with a thrilling story in my opinion.

Well I know who the Yakuza are I do not know anything about Sleeping Dogs though.Did you know that the Yakuza donated a huge amount of money to Kobe after those earth quakes destroyed much of the city back in the late 90's?

So is Sleeping Dogs a good game as in stand out good or good enough?Looks like a bad game for that suit..... interestingly that is how I keep Jehovah Witnesses from ever coming to my house.

Yeah the Yakuza is really strange...
Quote from Wiki:
Quote:
...the Yakuza's code of honor reportedly values justice and duty above anything else, and forbids allowing others to suffer (excluding those they traffic into sex work).
In the end, they are criminals, nothing else...

Sleeping Dogs is outstanding. It does have its flaws (being a console port...) but the Devs are patching the stuff people want and there are DLC´s incoming to bring more stuff. AFAIK, the next DLC will bring Cop Missions and what not.

The Story is first class and couldnt be better. The fighting system tops everything Ive seen before, doesnt get old and is fun till the end.

The end - good point. The end comes a little fast (depending on your gamestyle though) and after that there is not that much to do.

Still, I enjoyed it very much and dont feel cheated about spending 25€ (G2Play).

The yakuza sound like any major corporation to me a little charity here some 13 year old Cambodians making your products for nothing a day there make your workers in first world countries have as few rights as legally possible make them work in a cut throat enviroment then only advertise your most costly products and just how charitable you are (but not to those little Cambodians).Oh and golden parachutes for the CEOs that please share holders the most no matter what the effect is on the employees.

Sounds interestingish I will wait for it to go on sale at some point though as it is not the type of game style that I am willing to shell out $50.00 large for.


Here is a shot from APOS this is what war looked like before night vision
it got compressed a little and in game it is a little bit more clear.Anyway can you
see what is happening? Clue: there are three German pioneers (engineers) and three Soviet troops(still alive) in this screen and one side is not having a good day.Never mind it looks better
smaller but in game there was no greenish haze.The soviets are "Hande Hoch" an AT rifle squad does not stand up so well to a mechanized squad. This was an early morning action
around 0530 at this point and the Germans where attacking from the dark side of the horizon so the Soviets could not even see them really short of muzzle flash.

Well that's a bit... Unorthodox... I get that you feel safer behind that extra armor provided by the Loyd carrier but could please stick with the normal methods from now on?

Is that from Native or a Warband mod?

They must be "yellow" snow balls if they do 96 damage.
