Hot Take - 2011 Prototype Sleeping Dogs was better before Square Enix
Among many things, I actually surprisingly appreciate the 2011 prototype more than the final edition we ended up getting. From the more difficult - non-telegraphed fighting, to the highly intensified racing, and action cameras & slightly tweaked driving physics; along with the shifting & turbo sounds while driving. Even the small things like music selection & seeing the DHL guy dropping off packages, and police issuing tickets to citizens for loitering. I won't get too much more into detail because I know many people will play it themselves and find the details I mentioned, and many more that I didn't. All-in-all, it really gives off the True Crime feeling a bit more than we ended up getting
