There were times, especially in Times Square where it was very low count.

Ok now I'm seriously considering this despite my large backlog because it looks like it's getting great PC treatment.
Am I right to assume this will probably play better with a pad? Comfy couch accessibility may push me over the edge

Last time I turned on my console was to play Xenoblade the day it came to NA. That's how bad it is for me on console lol.
Yeah, exactly... unless things change, I don't see myself really keen on buying a next gen console. Then again, the majority of games I play and that I enjoy on console, are games that come from Japan so... who knows what'll happen next gen? =/

I considered the console version (and the game entirely) but now I shall grab the PC version, very good news.
Wow. HDAO (aka the system raper) and super sampling? I might need all three 7970s to max this out.
With Saints Row 3, one was enough (which is good, because the game had negative crossfire scaling due to CPU issues). I wish it wasn't digital only, but at least the price is reasonable. $60 would be a no-go for a download.
IIRC, if you were blazing through an area, the peds dissapeared.

We only want the best for everybody. And we also get it most of the time.

That screenshot looks terrible, but the gifs look good :/
I'll probably grab this if the reviews are good.

That feature set is pressing all the right buttons. My sort of blind preorder from months ago is shaping up so nicely.

Been that way for more than three years for me now. I'll probably sell my 360 after I beat Halo 4. This generation lasted for so long that it has died before the next one came.

I don't think that there is anything that will run lower than 30fps on that system unless you go over 1080p or use a lot of AA.
If the recommended specs are to be believed you should be more than fine.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Looks really good. Still want to know if the HiRes DLC pack is what we all think it is, and most importantly when it will go live and at what cost.
I can answer the last two questions.
Day 1 and free. He mentioned it's day 1 in the video.

The vid says day 1 and Steam registry says free.

I believe in the video he said it was a Day 1 patch

Why do they have circle shadows? The fuck is that?

Yes. Assassin's Creed games on PC also have this, it really makes the cities feel more lively.
Its not 60$. Its 50$ MSRP. With 45$ on Steam right now, with many gaffers using GMG to get it for about 30$ Launch day.
Half price, day 1, and more game.
I build mine last year.
2500i CPU
8Gig Ram
GT5600ti
And the rest for 700$. 100$ will net you an even better one and my PC basically crushes anything release outside the very demanding titles(Like Witcher 2 on Ultra)
I was told the game has a frame limiter too. I know most PC people don't care about that since we all love 60fps but I'm probably going to use it so I can cap it at 30 and make the most out of all these special extra options. I wish all games included an option like that...and a FOV slider.

Maybe speaking too soon, but Eidos/Square-Enix is benevolent towards PC gaming. What pushed me to pre-purchased Sleeping Dogs was its history. Normally I'm fine waiting for the problems to be sorted out.

yeah this looks really good but after what I spend on last sales, it would just be wasting bucks
Wait did I miss a coupon code or something? When I go to green man it is $44 , usa if that matters.

I'm jealous, PC version looks so good!

You did, there's been a bunch of 20% and 25% off coupons, although right now it looks like they're rotating round some 30% off specific pre-order coupons this week, so if you're lucky you might see the cheapest price yet soon.

I wish Dark Souls got this kind of love for the PC, Im starting to regret preordering it instead of this.
They have a full video showcasing the advantages of PC while we dont even have a screenshot for DS
Anyway, I love that the game has Triple screen and 3D support out of the box

It does. I got PC code last week. It's a very full-featured port, though I can't speak to the texture stuff, since that isn't available yet.

Wait, why is this even a question? Get both on PC at Greenmangaming with Coupons. I don't know which ones are available right now, but keep your eyes open for some.
Yup if you have a gaming PC there is like zero reason to get the console version especially for single player games such as those.

Wonder how this would run on my new 6850...

Kind of a good point, should have preordered this as they are actually catering to the PC market. As Namco just wanted to do it the cheapest way possible, ofc I got Dark Souls for $20 after trade ins and coupons off Green Man Gaming.
I just watched the entire Joystiq Sleeping Dogs Stream that was linked, gameplay overall looks pretty solid. Fighting is similar to Arkham games, gunplay looks similar to Max Payne, and graphics looked pretty solid. Definitely a game I will watch, especially with the PC improvements.
I think Square made a ton of money off of the new Deus Ex on PC and realized that the better the game is on PC, the more likely we are to buy it.
Here is a link to the youtube video of that stream btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ENzKqRsus

Looks great, too bad my old GPU went kaput two months back. I am planning to buy a GTX 680 soon, hopefully it runs well on that.

Yeah I was able to preorder DS for 33 bucks with a coupon, and sleeping dogs is really tempting right now, so much love for the port, hopefully Tomb Raider will get the same treatment.

That is awesome. Still want to see some more reviews, but a good PC port is a strong incentive to pick this up.

wont fit on the dvd - europe is getting a retail copy
plus not everyone wants it, better to just optionally offer it on steam
Probably because its a massive download and would be hard for certain people to get if through digital distribution.
For example if you have extremely slow internet or live in an area that has bandwidth caps. If you don't care about the extra visual fidelity or don't have the card to handle it anyways, why force them to go through the headache for something they don't need?
