Reeling over the fact Sleeping Dogs never got a sequel (hexbear.net)

That's it. If you haven't played Sleeping Dogs, do it. Easily one of the best games I've ever played. Great art direction, the best driving I've seen in an open world game, and combat that makes Arkham look incomplete.

Exactly. The cops aren't the heros, and Wei barely even wants to side with them at times. The gangs were made up of realistic, flawed people living in poverty. People who wanted protection from worse evils, or justice for their families. The gangs are still shown to be ultimately destructive, but there are so many moments in the story where the player and Wei are both driven by the same emotions driving the gang members. I'd say there is one moment in the story where I was mentally fully on a revenge quest over a gang killing.

I also love the game's portrayal of police corruption. Nobody is a hero. Wei is one of the morally best people of the game, but he's still a corrupt cop who took the job so he could extrajudicially kill someone fucking up his community.
