$10 on Steam

If you missed out on the glitch over the Steam Winter Sale where the game was $5 well here's your chance for the second best thing, getting it for $10.

EDIT: Apparently it's also $10 on Amazon

I heard only bad people don't like this game.

10$ is a steal. I think i got it for something like 14$ on GMG and even then it was a steal.

I bought it for $16.50 or whatever back during the Winter Sale and have yet to play it (so many other games.) Wish I had waited now.

Holy Schmoly! 
 
bought it.

No one with the hardware to run this has any excuse to not own this game now.

It is quite good. It's kind of halfway between GTAs 3 and 4. A bit wacky, but with a well told and serious story at its heart.

#7 Posted by Funkydupe (2921 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

I enjoyed it. The combat was fun and you feel powerful.

#8 Posted by Yadilie (218 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Neat. Guess I'll finally take the dip on this while I wait for the superior Asian contextual environmental damage game to get localized.

#9 Posted by JeanLuc (3310 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

annnnnd bought.

#10 Posted by ShadowConqueror (2562 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Wouldn't the next best thing be $5.01?

#11 Posted by jakob187 (20661 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Goddammit. I want to buy it, but I'm saving free money to pick up the new Amazing Spider-Man Heroclix set in February.

Oh well. I picked up so many games over the holidays that I haven't played yet. I should probably dig into those fuckers before moving into other things already.

Can't let this get away, even though I have about 50 other games I need to play first.

#13 Posted by Nights (345 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

I missed out on the Sleeping Dogs glitch sale, but I just picked it up along with some of the DLC. A very good deal indeed. I hope I don't hate it...

Don't we all

The DLC needs to get on sale sometime soon...

#16 Posted by ArtisanBreads (1763 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

... kind of want to buy it, but already played through it. I know it'd look great on my PC but I don't think I'd play that much of it again.

That is as accurate a description as I've seen of this game.

It is.

#22 Posted by bybeach (3935 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Sleeping dogs was a suprise. at 10.00...wow.

I need to get back to it, Borderlands 2 happened, but I am tired of that now.

It is on sale!

#24 Posted by Andorski (4128 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

@the_devoid: @Mitch0712: I should actually check the Steam sales instead of just getting wind of them on this forum. The Zodiac Tournament and Nightmare in North Point are the only two mission DLC released so far, right?

#25 Posted by Paindamnation (650 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

And here thinking I was going to be the one. Good on you I;m starting to like you more and more.

Buy it anyways. Go now.

Sleeping dogs wants you to buy it

#27 Posted by gla55jAw (2650 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

I beat it last month and my pc can barely run it, but I love it so much, I might just buy it for that price.

#28 Posted by me3639 (1318 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Bought this and Hitman:Absolution. Probably wont play them for a while, but what a deal.

#29 Posted by ajamafalous (10602 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

GOTY 2012. Everybody go buy it.

#30 Posted by I_Stay_Puft (1039 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Game is also 10 bucks on Amazon digital so if you have a coupon you could possibly get it for cheaper.

If only my work would have given me my 20$ amazon gift card earlier then this coming week then I could have got the game for free. O well, bought it + all but the 2 XP packs, tattoo pack and the luxury pack.

#32 Posted by Colourful_Hippie (2618 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

@I_Stay_Puft: I didn't know that, I'll go update the OP.

#33 Posted by Willza92 (97 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Any recommendations on the DLC I should pick up with it? I'm guessing Zodiac and North Point are a must, but what about all the other stuff? (All the DLC actually costs more than the game, wan't to try and cut out the crap since I'm trying to be reasonable with my spending). 

#34 Posted by Bell_End (1072 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

i bought it over xmas when it was cheap on steam.

but i bought dark souls on the same day and that has just dominated my gaming time sice then and i've only played a couple of hours of SD. i did really like what i played though. looks AMAZING on my PC.

but dark souls...

#36 Posted by aquamarin (550 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Finally bought it. There a vibrant mod scene for this bad boy?

#37 Posted by Nictel (1343 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

Oh yeah! Though its totally 12,50€ here. It's Euro-discrimination!

#38 Posted by charlie_victor_bravo (642 posts) - 3 months, 23 days ago

How the hell $10 translates into 12,49€ (~$17)? Fuck that noise.

Thanks for letting me know, got the game + the Zodiac DLC for 13.49Euro, after watching Vinny mess around in it, totally worth the money.
