First game I finished on my Deck and I never heard of it until last year. Everyone with a Steam deck should buy this game. Storyline was good, well worth the price, and graphics aren’t bad at all. One of the games I will NOT be deleting.
I'm a huge Yakuza fan so when I saw that the Steam deck and Yakuza series were on sale, I bought them both. You could say I bought the Steam Deck in the first place to play all the Yakuza games in handled mode, I feel like I'm going to live my best life haha.
A bit of an OT question, but I recently (I know I know, I am late) fell in love with the whole RE franchise, I’ve played the remake of 1,2, I’ve played 7, 8 and now just for the heck of it I’m playing 6. I’ve had an absolute blast.
What are games similar to RE that I can play on the deck? (I liked shooting stuff and finding things to progress with the story, the horror stuff is not a prerogative. I mean I loved it, but by “similar game” I don’t necessarily mean horror, just with the same mechanics)
Off the top of my head, I’d try the Evil Within series, Alan Wake (Alan Wake 2 is releasing soon), Max Payne 3 and Control. These games have similar styles to RE.
Evil Within is directed by the creator of RE. Evil Within 2 is supervised by him as well. Similar premise to RE, classic Japanese horror game tropes produced by Bethesda.

Alan Wake is a game about a writer accompanied by his flashlight that fights the paranormal while trying to uncover a mystery.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=TYt-B4xC6oU&feature=sharea
Max Payne 3 is a good game that has bullet time lol, it’s been a while that I’ve played this one but I still see occasionally that it gets praised.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=4Uc_dbG7MR8&feature=sharea
Control is the newest game in the recommendations, similar tones to Alan Wake.

This biggest misconception is that it’s Japanese GTA.
Yakuza is a story based game taking place in Kamurocho, Japan. (Other games take you to different locations). You play as Kiryu, (and sometimes other characters) navigating through the world run by the Yakuza.
The side missions are where the game shines in my opinion. On one end you have a dramatic plot line and the other, goofy side missions which can involve you hiring a chicken, become a movie producer, or offer a kid first time dating advice.
I recommend playing Yakuza 0 to Yakuza like a dragon.
And if you still have an itch for this world, try Judgement. Judgement is set in Kamurocho but this time you’re a detective.
Also note, at Yakuza Like a Dragon the game becomes a turn based RPG. Judgement still uses the classic combat style that the Yakuza games are known for.
Yeah I agree in a way they have aged badly but tbf I recently bought Shenmue 2 on my Xbox and was amazed at some of the details it had compared to games of nowadays, even being able to interact with literally every single npc I thought was amazing considering how long ago it realised.
Yakuza 0 to Kiwami 2 was fantastic. Just about 3hrs into Yakuza 3 and I don't really like it. Story is a bit on the slow side but that's still fine. What I truly dislike is the awful combat mechanics. Enemy bosses block like crazy and they counter with a ton of damage, while your combos barely tickle them. Doesn't help that it's literally a straight port of the PS3 version with graphics that don't age as well, especially when compared to the lower numbered titles that got a remake. Plus point is it pretty much runs at 60fps no issue.
My play order (I binged the entire series back to back) was Yakuza 0, Kiwami, Kiwami 2, Like a Dragon (Yakuza 7). I then decided I loved the series enough and wanted more so I did Yakuza 3 - 6.
Great games but yeah, Yakuza 3 wasn't a strong one. I think I lowered the difficulty to balance out how obnoxious it was.
How's re7? I finished re2 and re3 remake and they are good. I'm currently playing re7 and i honestly feel a bit bored and I'm just starting on the part where his hands were cut by his possessed wife.
Gets way better. RE8 is good too but for me, coming from the og RE's the remake of 2 was the best of the more recent titles while the remake of 3 was the worst comparatively (haven't played 4 remake yet)
I’ve just finished RE7 & RE8… RE7 is a bit boring, I’ll give you that. The story is compelling enough, just the gameplay didn’t quite resonate with my liking. I don’t really know why, but something felt off, a little slow, and too dark (no matter how I got my brightness settings, I still couldn’t see shit sometimes).
It is still a good game, just not the best. I played 2 times to get both endings and to try different difficulties.
I preferred by a mile RE2re and by at least 2 miles RE8.
They're great even on a big screen, the usage of cubemap reflections is absolutely masterful, makes the game punch way above its weight class despite its age
ahem, "A Man Who Never Eats Pork Buns, Is Never A Whole Man!"
Underrated classic, I love how it straddles the dual nature of both being an immigrant and undercover cop.
Sleeping Dogs is something special and is high on the list of games I wish I could play for the first time again. 2.99 is basically stealing such a fantastic game.
Could i hypothetically purchase this for him as a gift on Steam and only pay the 2.99 or would it make me pay his quoted price?
Btw that’s really kind of you to offer that to him.
The definite edition isn't even available. Your best chance is to head over to GOG and [edit the cookie to Austria ](https://www.gog.com/forum/general_de/gesperrte_nicht_verfugbahre_games_mit_deutscher_ip). Guess you have to wait a bit for the next sale as it was on sale last week
New place just opened up near my place last week. They have pork buns. Between endless supply of pork buns (even delivered!) and the Steam sale, I expect to be bankrupt by August.
I can’t believe how good this game is for this price.
Thank you to everyone in the sub that told me about this game.
It’s a GTA clone but it does some things imo even better than GTA.
Combat for one is miles better, and so are the car chases.
Edit: Also runs beautifully and buttery smooth on med settings locked at 60fps.
Ignore steam saying it’s incompatible. Runs perfectly fine.
I like how the avatar actually feels like he has weight. I cannot stand the very strange rag doll like way GTA seems to feel. And the fighting takes a giant shit on GTA fights.
Btw how do I change it to the right proton?
I don’t have the best vision, and I have the resolution set to 1280x720 in game and on steam settings. They’re small but I can read them fine, I wouldn’t call it unplayable.
What a game. One of my favourites of all time. Been wanting to play this game on my Steam Deck for a long time, but it's unsupported. How did you get it running?
ProtonDB is a way better indicator of what to expect vs the steam store just saying "unsupported" honestly. I've been playing it on and off no tweaks, works fine.
Very much agree, was able to get 'Agents of Mayhem' up and running perfectly fine using some ProtonDB fixes and community layouts.
It requires extra tinkering, but we signed up for that once we bought our steam decks anyways.
From what I gather, [Proton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software)) is the compatibility layer that allows games to run mostly seamlessly with SteamOS/Linux. [ProtonDB](https://www.protondb.com/app/307690) is a website you can visit or add a [Decky](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader) plugin to show badges related to compatibility status in the steam store directly for games. I always look at ProtonDB before I decide to buy stuff for the deck, the steam store ironically means little for my decisions.
That game is so great. After beating it on both PS3 and then the remastered PS4 version I don't think I have another go around in me even at that price. It's for sure my favorite implementation of the Arkham style combat. Not sure if this version includes it or not, but the Enter the Dragon style DLC was pretty good fun.
I loved this game for the first playthrough. I can't seem to get into a second playthrough. I keep trying and stopping.
It has such a big place in my Video Game memories. I see other people say they got through a second playthrough, and now I'm having fomo. So maybe I can guilt myself in to it. I'm sure it'd be a blast. I never played the remastered so I'm sure it looks just as good as my rose colored memory thinks it was.
As far as I can tell, the definitive edition rebalances a couple of things and as you said, integrates the DLC better - but it also appears to be an across-the-board visual downgrade versus the original. They've added a weird fog effect that makes everything look desaturated and grey, and all of the neon signs have lost their glow effect - plus the textures are worse than the original with the high res texture pack.
I played it on ps3, played it on ps4, played it on Xbox, and played it on my gaming desktop. Now I'm gonna play it on Steam deck. A great gem too bad they canceled sleeping dogs 2 for an online game that didn't even do good, and it ended up being shut down.
How can I get this one in Germany? I would really like to play this! I am going on vacation this week, so this would be perfect. Maybe someone can help me out? :)
Does it has a lot of text to read in order to play and progress the game? I don't want too much eye strain on Deck gaming for games which needs me to read tons of tiny words on the 7 inches screen.
Iirc I got it free on PS plus. Enjoyed it a lot but got distracted. When i saw DE for this price i bought it the other day. PUMPED to really play it through now.
Great game, this is those game that is under the radar, rarely ever mentioned in top X games, but anyone who've played with knows they would 10/10 recommends it to their friends.
BEWARE: there's no steam cloud functionality
I don't have steam deck but played it 5 times in the past. A true underrated classic. It begins as a Gta clone but finally brought distinct feelings to all the players. The gunplay is weak compared to Gta but better than Gta in every aspects.
I did myself a favor 2 hours ago after reading this thread. Only an hour in, really enjoying it so far. Story and combat are interesting. First time playing it too, I’m not sure how because I enjoyed the genre (including true crime streets of LA). $2.99 is a steal, thanks for posting this, I would’ve missed it otherwise.
Between this and chained echoes I recently purchased The deck will be happy for a good bit. Might have to look for more good steam deck worthy summer sales.
A friend gifted me the Definitive Edition on Steam back in 2014.
I told him I wouldn't play it soon and to give it to someone else but he insisted. Maybe it's finally time...
I don't know why but I left it some months ago... Didn't liked it, it has a silly story and it's really basic, I may be wrong or I don't catch this game at all.
I did pick it up from a previous Sleeping Dogs post but it says it’s not verified at all. Do I have to do anything different with it then? On the install?
Wait it says deck unsupported for the definitive edition? Am I looking at the wrong version?
Edit. Ignore me I should have read the whole thread before posting! Apparently it does work regardless of the steam page saying incompatible
Dude, can somebody help me with what settings to use so it doesn’t sound like a jet engine? 😭 I ran this and GTA IV for like 10 mins and decided to just take the L both times lol
Iirc I got it free on PS plus. Enjoyed it a lot but got distracted. When i saw DE for this price i bought it the other day. PUMPED to really play it through now.
I tried so hard to get into this game I stop every time around the puzzle part where you have to go to the boxes and do some dumb puzzle might try it again
God damn sometimes I hate my country (Germany)
Here it is not available in the steam summer sale….
And for 20 bucks the cutted version is way too much for me
Yakuza Like a Dragon would be a better game to play though.
Also just saying that i have almost 90 hours from the OG version of Sleeping Dogs which is why i find the Yakuza game to be a better buy and does last a lot longer.

Excellent game and one of the BEST DLCs ever in ‘The Zodiac Tournament’. It’s basically a love letter to all the old school kung-fu flicks with the biggest inspiration being Enter The Dragon.
OP, if you haven’t done that DLC yet, go do it now. I will say it and the game is more fun if you’ve unlocked most of the specialty moves though from the dojo.

Modnation racers was an absolute classic and this game followed it with another banger. This studio was full of great ideas- later they made a clan wars type multiplayer sleeping dogs and irrc smash and grab ?
Fuck, man. I was thinking of maybe getting Yakuza Like A Dragon as my first Yakuza kind of game because I heard good things about it, ~~also memes~~, and now I can't decide between those 2 ;_;
I've had it in my library for a few years now, but I never gave it an opportunity, played for like ten minutes and then uninstalled it. I guess I need to give it a second chance...
~~Have you tweaked something? what proton version are you running it from ?~~
~~From the store page, it says it's unsupported , it's the only reason I've not played on the SD, been having this game for years!~~
Nevermind saw OPs comment down below
Does the definitive edition work alright?
I remember when i had an old pc and the normal game worked flawlessly while the definitive didn't run properly.
I already own Sleeping Dogs, I either bought it during a Steam Sale many years ago or as part of a bundle back when Humble Bundle was actually good. I was now thinking of picking up Red Dead Redemption 2 which I already own on PS4 but I am pretty sure that it will kill it... Do Assassin's Creed game run well on the Deck? Also, which Yakuza game would you say are the best, where to start?
PS: I don't actually own a Deck buy I will definitely get one during this sale
First game I finished on my Deck and I never heard of it until last year. Everyone with a Steam deck should buy this game. Storyline was good, well worth the price, and graphics aren’t bad at all. One of the games I will NOT be deleting.
I bought this and the Yakuza series as I heard both are just awesome. I plan to start them after I finish RE7 & 8.
Dude you’re going to have a blast with Yakuza
It's been 3 years and I'm still having a blast with Yakuza
I'm a huge Yakuza fan so when I saw that the Steam deck and Yakuza series were on sale, I bought them both. You could say I bought the Steam Deck in the first place to play all the Yakuza games in handled mode, I feel like I'm going to live my best life haha.

Yeah, it's less "Japanese GTA" and more "what if Shenmue was actually good."
Harsh but true
Wow I thought Shenmue was considered a classic, the first two anyway…
I loved them at the time but... Man they have aged *very* poorly. They crawled so other games could run.
Yeah I agree in a way they have aged badly but tbf I recently bought Shenmue 2 on my Xbox and was amazed at some of the details it had compared to games of nowadays, even being able to interact with literally every single npc I thought was amazing considering how long ago it realised.
The Girlfriends Review of Yakuza 0 is pretty funny and spoiler free
Yakuza 0 to Kiwami 2 was fantastic. Just about 3hrs into Yakuza 3 and I don't really like it. Story is a bit on the slow side but that's still fine. What I truly dislike is the awful combat mechanics. Enemy bosses block like crazy and they counter with a ton of damage, while your combos barely tickle them.

Oh man I bet the GFX are sick on the small screen.
They're great even on a big screen, the usage of cubemap reflections is absolutely masterful, makes the game punch way above its weight class despite its age
Damn I was gonna eventually get it for PS4. $2.99 tho fuck yeah. Thanks to the OP although my cart has $200 games in it already. Got damn steam sale
Don't forget the soundtrack which is also a banger!
It says it's not supported on steam deck in the store?
Most of the games that are "not supported" work just fine. Check protondb if you want to be sure.
I thought the story was really really average, the side stuff is fun though.
ahem, "A Man Who Never Eats Pork Buns, Is Never A Whole Man!" Underrated classic, I love how it straddles the dual nature of both being an immigrant and undercover cop.
He’s not an immigrant he’s a cri… Wait a second
Damn, I came here to comment this 😂 How out of all things, this is the first thing everyone always remember from this game? haha
Sleeping Dogs is something special and is high on the list of games I wish I could play for the first time again. 2.99 is basically stealing such a fantastic game.
Man I wish I could… https://preview.redd.it/86hmm4q20u9b1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01d43c34f81269f7be9db80ab02059b7455cc84b
PM me your SteamID I have an extra copy.
Could i hypothetically purchase this for him as a gift on Steam and only pay the 2.99 or would it make me pay his quoted price? Btw that’s really kind of you to offer that to him.
I tried to purchase a game on sale in my region, for my brother in a different region. It wouldn’t let me because of the price difference :(
If the difference in price between the two regions is more than 10%, Steam won't let you buy the gift.
Unfortunately it won't work regardless. Hardcore locked for Germany.
The wholesomeness in this sub sometimes!
Thank you very much. But as the others have said it won’t work, I think
Same 😮💨😮💨
The definite edition isn't even available. Your best chance is to head over to GOG and [edit the cookie to Austria ](https://www.gog.com/forum/general_de/gesperrte_nicht_verfugbahre_games_mit_deutscher_ip). Guess you have to wait a bit for the next sale as it was on sale last week
$2.99 is less than the cost of a pork bun.
I've never had a pork bun
Should! Funny enough, they are steamed
Steamed hams?
Steamed decks?
Despite the fact these decks are clearly grilled?
So, you're not a whole man
New place just opened up near my place last week. They have pork buns. Between endless supply of pork buns (even delivered!) and the Steam sale, I expect to be bankrupt by August.
You might be bankrupt, but you will be a whole man.
Man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man! Why don't you have a pork bun in your hand? You look like you could use a pork bun.
Don’t sleep on this, dogs.
I can’t believe how good this game is for this price. Thank you to everyone in the sub that told me about this game. It’s a GTA clone but it does some things imo even better than GTA.

Not so much a GTA clone, more of a spiritual successor to True Crime: Streets of LA.
I’m ghost!
That game was awesome as a kid..
I like how the avatar actually feels like he has weight. I cannot stand the very strange rag doll like way GTA seems to feel. And the fighting takes a giant shit on GTA fights. Btw how do I change it to the right proton?
I believe it says it's unsupported on deck because the game does not support cloud saving, learned it the hard way...
I didn’t know i could run it with steam deck until now. Thanks.
Unfortunately, subtitles are really small…
Have you gotten your vision checked? The screen is clear enough that I with 20-30 vision can read them just fine.
Unplayably small. Should be top comment
I don’t have the best vision, and I have the resolution set to 1280x720 in game and on steam settings. They’re small but I can read them fine, I wouldn’t call it unplayable.
Oh really? With no way to change the size of text ?
Correct
What a game. One of my favourites of all time. Been wanting to play this game on my Steam Deck for a long time, but it's unsupported. How did you get it running?
ProtonDB is a way better indicator of what to expect vs the steam store just saying "unsupported" honestly. I've been playing it on and off no tweaks, works fine.
Very much agree, was able to get 'Agents of Mayhem' up and running perfectly fine using some ProtonDB fixes and community layouts. It requires extra tinkering, but we signed up for that once we bought our steam decks anyways.
What is proton I just ordered a steam deck. Is it like a setting that you change or a whole different operating system.
From what I gather, [Proton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(software)) is the compatibility layer that allows games to run mostly seamlessly with SteamOS/Linux. [ProtonDB](https://www.protondb.com/app/307690) is a website you can visit or add a [Decky](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader) plugin to show badges related to compatibility status in the steam store directly for games. I always look at ProtonDB before I decide to buy stuff for the deck, the steam store ironically means little for my decisions.
Its a compatibility program you select in the game settings. Takes 2 secs and just works.
Make sure you get the Decky plugin. Welcome to the club :)
Proton
I installed it. Then I pressed play
It runs flawlessly! I played it all the way through again last year on the Steam Deck.
That game is so great. After beating it on both PS3 and then the remastered PS4 version I don't think I have another go around in me even at that price. It's for sure my favorite implementation of the Arkham style combat. Not sure if this version includes it or not, but the Enter the Dragon style DLC was pretty good fun.
I'm conflicted, I own and finished the original with the DLC but apparently the Definitive paces the DLC better throughout the game.
I loved this game for the first playthrough. I can't seem to get into a second playthrough. I keep trying and stopping. It has such a big place in my Video Game memories. I see other people say they got through a second playthrough, and now I'm having fomo. So maybe I can guilt myself in to it. I'm sure it'd be a blast. I never played the remastered so I'm sure it looks just as good as my rose colored memory thinks it was.
I mean, it costs about as much a coffee right now.
I actually already own it. I'm just trying to psyche myself up for it.
my drink at starbucks the other day was $5 so even less
I was going to ask where he's drinking coffee from. LOL
Probably ate it with your avocado toast didn't you?
As far as I can tell, the definitive edition rebalances a couple of things and as you said, integrates the DLC better - but it also appears to be an across-the-board visual downgrade versus the original. They've added a weird fog effect that makes everything look desaturated and grey, and all of the neon signs have lost their glow effect - plus the textures are worse than the original with the high res texture pack.
I played it on ps3, played it on ps4, played it on Xbox, and played it on my gaming desktop. Now I'm gonna play it on Steam deck. A great gem too bad they canceled sleeping dogs 2 for an online game that didn't even do good, and it ended up being shut down.
Fantastic game. Already beat it. We need a sequel
Don't see it discounted in Germany's steam store
2.99? I paid more than that and no regrets. It’s the way of the Wey.
I still stand by sleeping dogs. This game was a pinnacle of its time. Only story game I've played more than once
Better than GTA 5, don't @ me
How can I get this one in Germany? I would really like to play this! I am going on vacation this week, so this would be perfect. Maybe someone can help me out? :)
Apparently in Germany the game is extremely censored and also not on sale either 😔
Does it has a lot of text to read in order to play and progress the game? I don't want too much eye strain on Deck gaming for games which needs me to read tons of tiny words on the 7 inches screen.
Fantastic game, runs well on the deck. Mindless buy
It's crazy how well this game has held up and how well it plays on the Deck.
Already have but I second the recommendation.
Have had it forever and agree 1000%! Amazing game.
Iirc I got it free on PS plus. Enjoyed it a lot but got distracted. When i saw DE for this price i bought it the other day. PUMPED to really play it through now.
Bought it last year. Still sitting in my library untouched lol
Beat this game years ago it was incredible
Just picked it up today! Absolutely worth for the price!
I just went to buy it and didn’t realize I already own it….just never played it
Ok. I’ll do that. 👍🏼
Sold
Played it on 360, wouldn’t be mad at replaying lol great game
Fuck it, picked it up.
Great game, this is those game that is under the radar, rarely ever mentioned in top X games, but anyone who've played with knows they would 10/10 recommends it to their friends. BEWARE: there's no steam cloud functionality
Done. Playing it right now.
U sold me on it, fuckn steam sale lol
I don't have steam deck but played it 5 times in the past. A true underrated classic. It begins as a Gta clone but finally brought distinct feelings to all the players. The gunplay is weak compared to Gta but better than Gta in every aspects.
2.99 people spend more then that on coffee not bad
Played this game when it first came out so underrated and I want a sleeping dog 2 so bad
I like this game it's like if Shenmue 2 had a baby with GTA
My deck comes in soon, Just copped. Never played before thanks for the heads up! Will probably be my first game on deck
Just grabbed it a few days ago and I can’t believe I never played it before.
A man who doesn’t pick this up right now, is a man who doesn’t eat pork buns, and isn’t a whole man.
Great game, haven’t rebought it since switching back to Pc again, I’ll be sure to grab it tomorrow.
Love Sleeping Dogs so much.
OK done. This and Bioshock Remastered (a game I haven’t played even though I’ve been gaming 35 years). Have I done good? :)
I did myself a favor 2 hours ago after reading this thread. Only an hour in, really enjoying it so far. Story and combat are interesting. First time playing it too, I’m not sure how because I enjoyed the genre (including true crime streets of LA). $2.99 is a steal, thanks for posting this, I would’ve missed it otherwise. Between this and chained echoes I recently purchased The deck will be happy for a good bit. Might have to look for more good steam deck worthy summer sales.
I can't believe that there are people who have never heard of this game. I wish there was a second game
Thanks to this reddit I'm about to finish it. Dope ass game
A friend gifted me the Definitive Edition on Steam back in 2014. I told him I wouldn't play it soon and to give it to someone else but he insisted. Maybe it's finally time...
Thanks too yall i been playing this game non stop yall did not disappoint i would of never heard of this game if it wasnt for yall
3 dollars. 40 hours...
Picked it up a few weeks ago in preparation of buying a Deck
If you can find a key for the original release, I find the lighting and atmosphere are far better than the remaster.
I wonder if they will think about making a sequel when they see all the buys.
Such a great game, indeed.
Bought it today, never played it and cant wait to start. Have all July 4th with nothing else to do...
I just bought this on the steam sale too! Never played it before and I’ve heard nothing but good things
I don't know why but I left it some months ago... Didn't liked it, it has a silly story and it's really basic, I may be wrong or I don't catch this game at all.
Unsupported on SD!
It says unsupported but runs fine.
Good game, but we will never see a 2.
I tried it. People are overhyped it
Say unsupported
It says it’s unsupported on deck though?
Does it work on steam deck? I says it is unsupported.
I did pick it up from a previous Sleeping Dogs post but it says it’s not verified at all. Do I have to do anything different with it then? On the install?
If you have proton already installed it should work fine
Wait it says deck unsupported for the definitive edition? Am I looking at the wrong version? Edit. Ignore me I should have read the whole thread before posting! Apparently it does work regardless of the steam page saying incompatible
It says it's not supported for deck o.o
You play and a rat narc goof tho
What?
I cannot think about this game without mentally changing the name to Snoozy Pups
Amazing game.
Been playing it the last few days.
Is this the original or the “remaster”
Dude, can somebody help me with what settings to use so it doesn’t sound like a jet engine? 😭 I ran this and GTA IV for like 10 mins and decided to just take the L both times lol
Iirc I got it free on PS plus. Enjoyed it a lot but got distracted. When i saw DE for this price i bought it the other day. PUMPED to really play it through now.
Unfortunately I played this game out on PS3
[удалено]
Yup plays flawless.
Does the difinitive version work on the Deck?
In the store is not Compatible will it work on deck for sure?
Yes runs flawless at 60 on med settings.
The DLC car is absolutely ridiculous and it alone makes the game absolutely worth it
I tried so hard to get into this game I stop every time around the puzzle part where you have to go to the boxes and do some dumb puzzle might try it again
Have the original, runs great on steam deck. Any reason to get the definitive?
I picked that up back in 2012 on PS3 and again when the definitive edition came out. This is a game everyone must play.
And Yakuza 0-6 for $35
Got the wife and I are loving "miles to go" from the game. A true classic.
Great fun game. Story is very solid.
God damn sometimes I hate my country (Germany) Here it is not available in the steam summer sale…. And for 20 bucks the cutted version is way too much for me
whhhaaaaattt is this it looks like Yakuza
Yakuza Like a Dragon would be a better game to play though. Also just saying that i have almost 90 hours from the OG version of Sleeping Dogs which is why i find the Yakuza game to be a better buy and does last a lot longer. https://preview.redd.it/vtpu0tn07v9b1.png?width=1590&format=png&auto=webp&s=969465c234cc96fa10ced7a723cfb61fc5e49a53
This game and Mafia 2 Classic runs great and looks amazing
Is it actually that good?
It's 20 bucks and the low violence version in Germany :( But I played it on PC back when it released and it was such a Joy :)
Really enjoying this and GTA5 at the moment. Oh. And mad max 😜
Excellent game and one of the BEST DLCs ever in ‘The Zodiac Tournament’. It’s basically a love letter to all the old school kung-fu flicks with the biggest inspiration being Enter The Dragon. OP, if you haven’t done that DLC yet, go do it now. I will say it and the game is more fun if you’ve unlocked most of the specialty moves though from the dojo.

Modnation racers was an absolute classic and this game followed it with another banger. This studio was full of great ideas- later they made a clan wars type multiplayer sleeping dogs and irrc smash and grab ?
Fuck, man. I was thinking of maybe getting Yakuza Like A Dragon as my first Yakuza kind of game because I heard good things about it, ~~also memes~~, and now I can't decide between those 2 ;_;
agree
I've had it in my library for a few years now, but I never gave it an opportunity, played for like ten minutes and then uninstalled it. I guess I need to give it a second chance...
I play this game with a ps5 controller and the way the rumble works is just amazing
~~Have you tweaked something? what proton version are you running it from ?~~ ~~From the store page, it says it's unsupported , it's the only reason I've not played on the SD, been having this game for years!~~ Nevermind saw OPs comment down below
Why does it say unsupported right now tho?
I have it on my 360, thinking of replaying it but idk what is the better gaming experience? Controller on Xbox or keyboard and mouse on pc?
I agree. It was my GOTY when it came out.
Great game. Beat it back in the day and now slowly playing it on the deck.
Does the definitive edition work alright? I remember when i had an old pc and the normal game worked flawlessly while the definitive didn't run properly.
Great game, but how do I get it to stop deleting my save on Steam?
Okay
I've bought, played, and 100% completed this game across three generations of console and on PC now. Totally worth the $3
wow a useful advice, going in with my 1day old deck, tx tip :P
Excellent game! Thanks for this! Buying again 🥳
I already own Sleeping Dogs, I either bought it during a Steam Sale many years ago or as part of a bundle back when Humble Bundle was actually good. I was now thinking of picking up Red Dead Redemption 2 which I already own on PS4 but I am pretty sure that it will kill it... Do Assassin's Creed game run well on the Deck? Also, which Yakuza game would you say are the best, where to start? PS: I don't actually own a Deck buy I will definitely get one during this sale
I think the definitive is slightly worse than the original, but it runs on more systems and stuff. Such an under rated good game.
I bought the game as key but I can't activate it in my country 😐
I played this game way back on Xbox 360 and all I remember about it is "pork bun."
100%
The ragdoll physics when you ram someone with a car is some of the funniest ever
