As the original Sleeping Dogs has been purchase-disabled with the release of the DLC-containing, but graphically and otherwise often worse Definitive Edition, this is a dandy opportunity to pick up one of the more worthwhile GTA titles the PC has seen.
Definitive is a dollar cheaper than the current, lowest-ever Steam sale price of $5.99.

The Gamez Tha Pryce Bundled?!
Sleeping Dogsâ„¢ $5 Nope
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition $5 Nope

Be warned that Definitive Edition is both activation locked and run locked for Germany, for no reason at all. Giving it away as a ROW title is thus -presumably- not permitted.

P.S.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqc-nwhbexY


https://store.na.square-enix.com/spring-clearance-sale-digital has a few other, mostly bland discounts.

The Sleeping Dogs DLCs are all 50% off, so not really worth picking up on the grand scale of things. On Steam they have often been 75% off (last in March 2016), plus there was a famous price bug very long ago.

https://store.na.square-enix.com/product/284036/deus-ex-mankind-divided-digital-standard-edition-pc-download is the same $18 it has twice been on Steam already, so not noteworthy either.

I prefer the graphics of the Definitive Edition, they fit more to Hong Kong and are more realistic with all those effects. Especially the gameplay improvements make it worth it for me.

Not sure what the issue was, but why are people complaining about the Definitive version?
I own the original, so I have no idea. Loved the game though. Ending was pretty bad and fast-paced compared to the rest of the game though

The original game had a PC-exclusive HD texture pack, http://store.steampowered.com/app/202181/Sleeping_Dogs__High_Resolution_Texture_Pack/

The Definitive Edition is a graphical upgrade on the original game without this addon.

tl;dr: Consoles.

Oh. I'm glad I got the original version then.
After playing on PC for so long, I hate the feel of a controller now. Mainly the sensitivity, but the input lag and awkward gripping are an issue as well. The only reason I want a next-gen is for Rare Replay or Uncharted 4.

I used the Xbox 360 controller so long that a PS3 or PS4 controller is impossibru to game on for me...

Well, in Sleeping Dogs I guess I'd at least drive with a controller. With Saints Row or GTA or that I often use a controller to drive and switch to the mouse when shooting is required.

Do you mean with "both activation locked and run locked for Germany" that it's only available in Germany?

You can't activate the key for this version with a german ip and if you use a vpn to activate it you also have to keep that vpn running, when you want to play it.

Thank you sappyMA :) I made a giveaway because of your helpful answer, although you own it already.. But you'll be on my whitelist from now, so there are more chances to come. ^^

So sadly it's not available for Germany, and it's sgtools protected, but without rules :)

Doesn't it unlock after 3 months in your library?

Yes it worked like that in the past, but there has been no official announcement to why that is and if this will be the case in the future. A vpn is still needed to activate the key in any case.

This is fucking stupid. Square-Enix are one of the best publishers when it comes to pricing, sales and bundles. But on Sleeping Dogs they did a Deep Silver: fuck you over with a money-hungry cunt non-sensical "definitive edition" and hidden DLCs, upgrades that should have gone smoothly like Rise of Tombr Raider Anniversary, Skyrim Legendary, Bioshock Remasters, Metal Gear Solid V ultimate etc...

hidden DLCs

As far as I know all DLCs of the original Sleeping Dogs are included in Definitive Edition? It's nice of them that they still sell DLCs to owners of the original.

I prefer the Definitive Edition over the original game. Why? More realistic (but not always better) graphics, shadows, and effects; better lighting; more animations; better physics; better vehicle handling; dozens of other improvements. Great game!

Mmm, this timing... How many chances are there that the Def edition will be included in the next HB monthly?

I think the activation issue might be a snag?
Dunno.

I haven't seen games in HB Monthly that are sold to users who cannot then play them.

$6 on steam atm, just get it on steam instead since it card money instead of your real money :3

Not everybody values Steam money differently to credit card money or whatever, and basically it would have to be a difference bigger than 20% for the individual :D

I assume NA Squeenix would sell normal ROW keys, not region locked ones. ROW Sleeping Dogs Definitive can be activated and ran in all countries but Germany; Sleeping Dogs has both ROW and "ROW except DE & RU" versions.

Assuming it's a Steam key, it probably is ROW.
