any of you guys ever play sleeping dogs?

watched escape from NY. kinda meh I was expecting more action.
metro is really proving to be difficult and not really in a bs way either(like call of juarez the cartel god I hated that game) I managed to get through the first surface trip in moscow now I have to rescue my partner or get through a bandit controlled area
I'm not really sure. I'm also having trouble deciding whether to swap one of my current guns for the ak my revolving shot gun is the only one that doesn't have mods.

The sequel, Escape from LA, is more action packed.

Gyp has.

I don't remember a ton about it at this point but I didn't hate playing it.

I think I've watched it once before. I just remembered something I didn't add mad max to my list.

I seen that it was made be square/enix so I was wondering if it's like just cause series(2 wouldn't have been a bad game if not for the bugs and enemies constantly respawning in many of the cleared out areas)

Don't think there were a bunch of bugs and usually that is something I remember. I played on PS3 if that's relevant.

Currently playing Dragon Warrior on NES. Love it.

sleeping dogs is on ps3? if that's the case I rather play it on ps3 than pc.
I haven't played DW in so many years. the last time I remember playing it was the gbc version via super gameboy. I tried to play through most of the game without a weapon, I don't know if I succeeded though.

If you thought Escape from NY was slow I wouldn't suggest MM. I don't know about the sequels. I cheated in JC2, mediocre game at best.

Yep. Originally PS3/360/PC. I think there was a later "remastered" release on PS4/Xbone/PC.

I was never a big fan of the Metro games. Tried a couple but fizzled out not too far in. Not bad at fps games but not good either. Think DL likes those games

The Metro series is great
I've played the hell out of the first and second games on various platforms.
The third I have got through but haven't cleaned up all cheevos, it's a little more open than the previous 2 games.

Yeah first time I played 2033 I thought it was tough, but I really wanted to beat it... so I persisted and got better at stealth and learning when to expect the worst (be organised with your stuff, even picking the right time to reload).
The games are kinda predictable with enemies especially if you play them a lot so you can become quite good at it without being actually good at fps games in general.
The hardest difficulty is really tough though, as is completing the game without dying

As for reloading: switch to another weapon quickly if you're in a tight spot.

[deadlegion]

The hardest run I did was:
No deaths
No killing humans
Hardest difficulty

I would say to do everything (cheevos/trophies) it's a harder game than say TLoU, but maybe around the same as Alien Isolation? Maybe.

[deadlegion]

I don't like difficult stealth games in general... I mean Dishonored I didn't like so much, but Metro games and Alien Isolation I really enjoyed those once I became proficient. Got a real sense of accomplishment from beating them, so much so I played them again on other platforms.
Original Metro has a redux version which has some improvements, I think it made it a little easier for me anyway.

after I got through the bandits without firing a single shot or killing anyone that felt rewarding it was really tough it took me many tries to get through the first part but after I figured out their patrols and a good way through it wasn't too bad the 2nd part was much harder with trying to turn of light sources without being spotted or getting around the patrols.
I would like to play this all the way through(preferably without cheating) it does feel like a good game like deus ex HR that game is great(I got stuck on a boss fight that I just couldn't beat I tried so many time to)

I didn't mind dishonored I recently found out there was a 2nd one(I should check the spces on that again) I have not gotten to alien isolation though it's been recommended(by you and possibly zal)
I have the redux version since I couldn't find the standard, currently I've found myself stuck again.

[deadlegion]

Well 2033 redux should be easier than the original... but that's based on me playing the original multiple times before redux came out.
Redux pretty much has "improvements" taken from Last Light, which is the second game. LL has some small DLC, but LL redux has all the DLC added to it iirc.

They are good games but old now. Like I said you really have to dedicate some effort into learning how to approach levels, the story and setting is rather cool though.
I should play some more Exodus again but I've got a pile of games I haven't played at all, plus all I'm playing right now is Starfield I suspect I'll be playing this for months.
I didn't get very far with Jedi Survivor (have to get back to that at some pint) before I started playing Starfield
