Definitely worth it. This game flew under my radar on initial release, and I'm so glad I caught it eventually.
Would've loved to play it at some point but it's so heavily censored in Germany (which I still don't get, even GTA V is uncut here)
Man who never eat pork bun is never a whole man.
Sleeping Dog can be a fun distraction but it's a tad flawed. At some point the cool melee mechanics just get replaced with constant gunfights, although they really try to push the fact that guns are rare. Furthermore a lot of characters in the campaign get introduced and then vanish, feels also a tad rushed at the end.
Needless to say though, it's still great fun.
One of my favourite games ever, one of those games that needs a sequel to iron the creases but it'll never get one.
This game is Wei better than GTA V.

I love Sleeping Dogs but they're both greatgames.

I just wanted to make a Wei pun...
why did they make the DE instead of giving a patch to the original?

Square Enix
It's a cash grab, nothing else.
All they did in DE was compress 10% of the textures a little bit less, add some incredibly broken half-assed jigglebones, slap on some fog, and tweak an enemy spawn or two.
The only thing that could possibly justify a re-release was the upgrade to 64 bit.
Not even available in Germany.
([B]If you're here don't buy this game![/B] It was completely abandoned after the initial release.)

Sucks that it's not available in Germany but how is the lack of post release support a reason not to buy it? This game is great as it is, isn't that enough? Also, it did get 2 full DLCs and a bunch of random cosmetic and content DLCs.

They didn't release any patches or changes at all.
According to the Steam reviews it's relatively buggy.
It's a much better idea to activate a foreign version instead.

So this is just in Germany then right? Because it did get patches and most reviews negative bits simply talk about the driving and the rushed ending not the bugginess at all.

Yes. The product available in Germany is just the original unpatched base game with very slight censorship.
The developers didn't maintain it along with the normal version (and no DLC is available either), so it's most likely garbage in comparison to the international one by now.
The reason I say "it's not available" is that the Definitive Edition was never released here.
(The original was on sale too, but all the ads in the store gave you a "not available in your country" error here.)

Fair enough. Why the fuck would your government censor this shit anyway?

Some of the violence was slightly over the top apparently.
[URL="http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=682024"]The following environmental kills were removed:[/URL]
- car door
- burning alive
- swordfish
- meat hook
- oven
- shredder
- cable
- hot coals
- fridge door
- chandelier
- motor
- broken pipe
- circular saw
- electrocution
- ventilator
That's about it.
If I'm not mistaken the Austrian version is available in German language though, which would be a very viable alternative (difficulties buying it aside). The game doesn't appear to be region locked, so it [I]should[/I] be possible to activate foreign keys for the full version and so on (but you still wouldn't be able to easily buy DLC in Germany that way).

Well that's fucking dumb.
This game is fucking incredible, worth buying, get it now

Sale's over :x
This game always manages to slip under my radar.

Played the base version on PC, then played definitive on PS4
In the parts of the game where someone is driving you and your job is to shoot at the cars and motorcycles behind you, you can watch the vehicles being spawned not too far away.

If you get a fast enough vehicle, you can see the cops spawn right in front of you. :v:
