Sleepy dogs for the original question. Out Of Gta and sleeping dogs I still enjoyed the latter better if we are talking solely Single Player.

 

[Acquiescence]

Wow, Gaf hivemind never fails. Sleeping Dogs it is then!

Change the question then. Sleeping Dogs or GTAV?

Grand Theft Auto V for sure. It's no contest. And I love Sleeping Dogs.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Sleeping dogs without a single doubt.

 

[Cardon]

Sleeping Dogs all the way. Watch Dogs has some interesting concepts that feel a bit half-baked at times and a really poorly put together story.

 

[TM94]

A man who never buys Sleeping Dogs is never a whole man.

 

[SystemBug]

Wow, Gaf hivemind never fails. Sleeping Dogs it is then!

Change the question then. Sleeping Dogs or GTAV?

If you want a great story with good characters....Sleeping Dogs.

If you want a big game world to fuck around in GTA V

 

[kittens]

can't believe none of you jerks is gonna humor my updog joke

 

[Piggus]

Slerpin' Dergs is a much better game, but Watch_Doge is worth cruising through if you can get it cheap.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Sleeping Dogs by far.

 

[Roto13]

Sleeping Dogs by a huge margin. Watch_Dogs is just really disappointing in basically every way.

 

[ugh_the_boot]

GTAV>Sleeping Dogs>>>>>>Watch Dogshit

 

[eggwolio]

I think Updog is better than both of them, personally.

What's updog?

You're welcome

EDIT:

Wei Chen would've been more patient.

 

[Brian_FETO]

If you believe hard enough, Sleeping Dogs is kind of like an open world Streets Of Rage

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Honestly the Hong Kong style police-gang story of Sleeping Dogs is far more interesting to me than GTA's satire of Americans.

[Seventy70]

How is this even a question?

Sleeping Dogs

 

[Azdoune]

Sleeping dogs! Enjoy!

 

[ironcreed]

Sleeping Dogs was an instant classic for me. It's something straight out of a Kung Fu crime flick, set in a GTA-like structure. Just an amazing game. I still have to complete Watch Dogs, so there you go. But what I have played of it is pretty fun.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I didn't play Watch_Dogs myself but the few hours I managed to play Sleeping Dogs before my GPU crapped out on me was awesome.

 

[wkureservedp2]

Sleeping Dogs by a mile. The hand to hand combat is spectacular.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

I prefer Watch Dogs. The story is terrible and the world isn't nearly as immersive as GTA V, but the cover combat, gunplay, stealth, hacking, Ubi towers (*gasp*) all provided a lot of gameplay enjoyment for me.

Online hacking and trailing (which are probably dead now) were also great.

Sleeping Dogs does have a better story and better atmosphere, and the melee combat is great, but it feels like an incomplete game with an abbreviated story, and the gameplay wasn't as enjoyable as Watch Dogs.

 

[Morts]

Sleeping Dogs x100. Not even close.

 

[PodcastFips]

I liked Sleeping Dogs DE on PS4 much more, should be the same on PC then. Watch_Dogs on PC had awesome graphics according to a few screenshots on GAF, though.

Thank you. ;-)

 

[Miguel81]

Sleeping Dogs. That game had my attention the whole way through and the melee is extremely fun, unlike Watch_Dogs which feel like a chore in comparison. Plus, rainy Hong Kong nights are an eyegasm O.O

 

[Turin Turambar]

Watch Dogs.

 

[robotrock]

Sleeping Dogs in everything including the graphics.

yuuuuup

 

[CosmicQueso]

Sleepydogs without a moment's hesitation.

 

[Easy_D]

Sleepy Dawgs has the hand to hand combat system going for it. And a visually more interesting setting.

 

[Symphonia]

Sleepy Dawgs.

 

[Dawg]

Sleeping Dogs is better than GTA V.

GET IT.

Why you should play Sleeping Dogs, in 3 images:

 

[Banana Aeon]

I really wish I could force myself to finish Sleepy Puppies. It's really fun when I play it, but I can't just sit down and play it for hours.
Watch_Dogs is bad though.

 

[blame space]

Dog's Life

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Way of the Dogg

 

[TheAdmiester]

Watch_Dogs by far. I was almost a sleeping dog myself playing SD.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

I'd recommend Sleeping Dogs above GTA unless you just want to mess around in a sandbox environment.

 

[Uno Venova]

Even if GTAV is an option, it's still Sleeping Dogs, it has more personality, a more interesting theme, a simple story but it's interesting to follow, a better sountrack and fantastic mission variety.

 

[Sanke__]

Sleeping dogs by a mile

 

[pakkit]

Sleeping Dogs really surprised me with its quality. It was a great game through and through.

 

[SURGEdude]

Sleepy Woofs by a country mile.

Watch_Dogs by far. I was almost a sleeping dog myself playing SD.

Sleeping Dogs prefered by gamers 91 to 1 over Watch_Dogs. More at 11.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Watch_Dogs is so absurdly forgotten considering how much it sold.

 

[impact]

Sleeping Dogs is really great. The only true contender to GTA imo

Watch Dogs had some cool ideas but ultimately fell victim to Ubisoft's production line. I couldn't stomach it to beat it.

One thing you should know is that both games have awful driving in comparison to GTA. Like, really bad.

 

[ref]

Sleeping Dogs by a mile.

It has a better atmosphere and story. The focus on martial arts also makes it a lot more refreshing and interesting to play opposed to Watch Dogs shooting.

 

[thewhitehawk]

Sleeping Dogs by far.

 

[Rakthar]

In pretty much the same way that Sleeping Dogs was a constant pleasant surprise and exceeded my expectations at every turn while playing it, watch_dogs was a constant chore and let me down regularly while playing it.

I couldn't get over the mess that Ubisoft made of the protagonist, the story, the pacing, the missions, and I found the hacking gameplay really underbaked.

Sleeping Dogs was an intimate and fleshed out portrayal of Fake Hong Kong - I got pulled into the game and enjoyed it all the way.

 

[John Kowalski]

wei shen motherfucker!

 

[Square Triangle]

Honestly, I enjoy both for different reasons. Watch Dogs will get the least amount of votes here as it was nowhere near the hype it received. Its a fun game but the characters and story are bland

 

[starchild excalibur]

I haven't played Sleeping Dogs, but as someone who recently started Watch Dogs it makes me pretty sleepy.


Even with my mid-range expectations it's still kind of a disappointment.
