Just keep in mind having two plus accounts wouldn't be any good for the Vita as only one account can be linked to it at a time(and games from another account can't be played). .

EU also tends to do free 1 months (like the Facebook promo), so you could get Sleeping Dogs for free. The only issue would be getting a CC that worked in Europe.

I'll just wait for them to add Sleeping Dogs to the US PS+. If they don't, they don't. Oh well.

I feel the same as you, the SD demo didn't win me over really, but admittedly that genre's not my thing, but if free I would give it a whirl. Racers weren't the favorite thing in that genre poll they did for + a couple weeks back, but I wouldn't mind Motorstorm: Apoc, even as old as it is, I never played it. My super reaching stretch pick for a game if they decide to give us something new for a change like they do for Europe is Dishonored, which they actually used as an example of an "Action game" in the poll I mentioned, so maybe?

Speaking of Sleeping Dogs, I had no idea the same developers were behind Little Big Planet Karting. LBPK isn't a bad game by any means, but it's definitely missing that "je ne sais quoi". It just needed some more time and love. Sleeping Dogs, on the other hand, is brilliant. Best open world game this gen, so it's disappointing that they couldn't apply that same finesse to the barren wasteland that LBPK appears to be.

I reckon I will pick up Brotherhood now since the disc is a little pricier and had content cut from the game.. All in all I would prefer GOTY versions as well but unless you have a PC that can run these games I think this is about a good as a deal as you will find on ACII and ACB for awhile. Wouldnt bite on Revelations though unless you just have to have all the maps and DLC. The disc version has gone for as little as $10 before, I bet with some effort you could nab it for under $15.

No they don't in the US at least. I was just saying that I don't want digital download, so I'd rather get nothing (and miss out on the DLC) if there won't be a retail release.

I already have all the Assassin's Creed base games on retail, so I'd purchase the GOTY ones specifically for the DLC (and probably trade/sell the non-goty ones).

Since there's no "Ultimate Edition" retail disc, I'll just not experience the DLC. I'm alright with that.

Same developer different teams.

I don't have a Vita, but can't you switch between accounts to get the other games?

Lol. I've only played the demo and watched some videos, but that was my same reaction upon reading that.

Not unless you want to do a factory reset of the Vita. Like the person who you quoted stated, only one PSN account can be linked to a Vita at any given time.

I quite enjoyed Sleeping Dogs. The missions are varied enough to spice things up and the driving is the best I've seen in any open world game to date. They could come out with a game called Sleeping Dogs Racing and I'd totally pick it up. I'd give Sleeping Dogs my vote for best Sandbox game this gen.

^This. Sleeping Dog has my vote for best Sandbox of this gen.

I love the focus more on fluid combat than just guns. I love that feel you get when you just kung fu someones ass. The missions are pretty cool and story is interesting, won't win any awards. It also helps I love the setting is in Honky Kong.

EDIT: Fixed

I'm a big fan of Honk Kong too.

I think Honk Kong is a place in Donkey Kong Country right?!

I fixed it, my bad.

It gave me a Yakuza vibe when I rented it, but I only played it for 2-3 hours. Would definitely like to pick it up someday.

A lot of people loooove Sleeping Dogs.

I just hope that Rockstar was taking notes. I really don't want GTAV to be a more expansive version of 4. I love a good sandbox romp but I really don't have the patience to play a 12 year old game with a new paint job. I WANT GTAV to be my Sandbox game of this generation but I'm almost positive it won't be.

lol, perhaps calling it brilliant is a bit much, but it was fun. Certainly the best open world* I've played this gen. I couldn't even finish GTAIV. Infamous bores me to death. SR3 was good, but Sleeping Dogs has it beat on the narrative front. Haven't played Yazuka. What game from the genre bested Sleeping Dogs?


*sorry if i'm mixing open world and sandbox. i can never figure out which is which.
