which SLEEPING DOGS DLCs are must have? preferred SP only

None. They all suck.

Year of the Snake and Nightmare in Northpoint are the ones that actually add a significant amount of gameplay. Most other stuff is cosmetic or just a single mission here and there.

Eh. They're a bit blase, but the two main DLCs that have missions are Nightmare In North Point, which does not really tie into the main game at all and then there's "Year of the Snake" which is a post-main story thing. They're both kind of boring, but if you really like the main game (as I did) you may find some value in them.

First of all, you might wanna wait a few hours, it could potentially be the next title that's 75% off so its dlc too, since it is in the current community vote, second of all, I have no idea

what is SP?

Zodiac Tournament, Nightmare in North Point, and maybe Year of the Snake.

thanks mates, im from germany, if i buy the dlcs they should be uncut too i guess? cause i got the uncut ROW version gifted last month ago.

Gotta grab them all, I fucking love that game.

Nightmare in North Point is ok, adds an hour or two of extra content.

Haven't bought Year of the Snake yet...

But I fracking loved Zodiac Tournament. It's a bit short, but has an air of those crappy old Bond movies with a badass villain and kind of mixed with Jackie Chan... A must play for me.

dlc not really worth it

I got Year of The Snake from GMG Spring Sale for like $2
And yes I can tell that...it's pretty boring. There's no good rewards given after you doing an event like XP and such.
I still would recommend it if you need more story after the main one is ended.

Zodiac Tournament is best in my opinion. You should definitely buy that one if you like the game or if you like old 80's and 90's chinese fighting movies :)
On the other hand, Year of the Snake is definitely worst. It's kinda boring and also very buggy.
Nightmare in North Point is not bad but it's not a must-have. But I enjoyed it.

I personally enjoyed Wheels of Fury.

Kinda off topic, but how does one turn off DLC? I bought it on Amazon with a bunch of High Roller and Top Dog stuff which kinda ruins the game.

Game 75% off,

DLC 50% off.

WTF! :(

all the story dlcs

is there a way to get those dlcs cheaper as a complete pack but not on steam? dlc pack is more expensive than the main game, what crap.
