In addition to these there’s also a “Face” tree, which is leveled up based on various actions throughout the game when a new level is earned here, it adds a new self-benefiting ability, such as having buffs last longer.īuffs, you ask? Yes, Sleeping Dogs is more RPG-like than most other open-world games, with the game coming close to the mechanics Saints Row 3. This doesn’t matter much, as Police XP comes easier than Triad XP. When on a police mission, if you run into people or damage the environment, XP is taken away from that tree. Where the unique comes in is that ultimately, you may sway more to one side than the other, depending on your playstyle. Each of these are split into two sections, and as each level is earned, you’ll be able to unlock the next available skill in either section. Throughout the game, Shen will have to perform duties for both his gang and the police department, and as missions are completed, XP will be earned for the respective skill tree (Triad or Police).
Back in Hong Kong, Shen’s job is to get in good with the Triad gang Sun On Yee (based on the real-life gang Sun Yee On) and ultimately take it down. You’re Wei Shen, a Hong Kong-born undercover cop that lived in America for so long that his accent is almost non-existent. What’s not so unique is its story, but it involves a not-so-unique mechanic that makes it unique (get that?). Those who enjoy open-world games such as the titles mentioned above will be pleased with Square Enix’s decision on this one, because Sleeping Dogs is a great game, offering just enough uniqueness to set itself apart from the games it’s going to inevitably be compared to time and time again. There have even been quotes from Square Enix calling Activision “crazy” for abandoning not only a game so far in its development cycle, but a game with such potential. That’s what happened here when Square Enix first laid its eyes on the game, it’s been said that it was a done deal right from the get-go. What also happens on occasion is that another publisher will spot the diamond in the rough, inherit the project, and ultimately publish it. To the angst of gamers everywhere, with thoughts of what could have been, this happens often in game development. Some rumors state that the game was almost finished, and could even be completed by players in its current state. As time went on, and delays plagued the release, Activision gave up on the project. Hoping to reinvigorate the True Crime series, Activision had plans to merge United Front Games’ newest title into it – even going as far as announcing it and releasing a trailer (and eventually changing the naming to just “ True Crime“). You could say the development story around this game might be more interesting than the in-game story. With the success of open-world titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row and Just Cause, developer United Front Games had big hopes for True Crime: Hong Kong, set to be published by Activision. You should get the achievement associated with unlocking all 10 police upgrades way before the Triad one.Īll missions can be replayed from START > Social Hub > Missions.“ Winning isn’t everything, but you could at least pretend you’ve heard of it.“ These missions will also give you a good chunk of Police XP. You might have also noticed that there are optional drug bust missions (light blue police shield icon on the map) dotted all around the map, 17 in total IIRC. In case you don't, you can gain them by replaying Police missions. You should, theoretically, be able to get max Police XP before completing the story. Achete Stand Up Boots Black with Brown Sole ($17,400 from Bruno.Couronne Puffy Vest Red ($28,800 from Bruno James).Jiggler Straight Leg Jeans ($21,620 from Achete) There are clothing sets that you can wear that increase your Triad XP gain (5%, 10% and 15%). The amount of XP given for replaying a mission is equivalent to the difference between your final score and the highest score from your previous attempts at the same mission as long as it's greater than 0. You can continue to gain your Triad XP after completing the story by replaying the Triad missions.
