fucking shitty skidrow crack still requires steam client, even after all these updates.
pandora p2p crack doesn't require steam; works as standalone.
Can't they fix that shit?

i just installed the 1.5 update over the skidrow version, and it works fine. steam is turned off.
I don't get it. why does skidrows crack care if steam is installed, but it doesn't need it running? it makes no sense.

excatly. having steam installed in a totally separate folder but not running makes no sense as a requirement, especially since its not mentioned in the nfo.
if it needs files from the steam folder, im sure there would be a way to hex edit so it points into the game folder where skidrow would put the files nedeed.
the worst that could be is that the crack doesn't work on all OS's, or its user error for those who can't get it to work.

I think ill wait till game of the year edition (as every game seems to have one these days)
and see if Skidrow or others can get their shit together by then. Anything is better than downloading multi gig patches and there are plenty of games in my backlog.

I really love this game because of the atmosphere and kung fu. Finally not ANOTHER game set in America (I am from US but I love other cultures too, sometimes I wish I was from a race or country with a culture and traditions instead of being a mixed breed white boy whose part english/irish/polish/native american/israeli (not jewish reliogion but got jewish dna in me)/plus other misc races), I am so tired of another GTA in another American city, when there is so much of the world to explore. If only there was some more to the combat. I would love to train in different styles, have some praying mantis joint locks and some crane kicks, pecks to the eyes and temples, tiger claw rips to the eyes, monkey steals the peach move (it's in the northern praying mantis system I train in but it's common in other styles too, you basically are simultaneously scoop blocking an incoming mid level kick while dropping down under it and grabbing the testicles with open claw, squeeze to crush, then rip back towards you, essentially tearing their genitals off. That would be a fun move to learn in game, maybe make it when you push Y and start a counter another button initiates a move you learned as a finisher or something).
I feel grappling can be improved due to the real life triangle of striking is countered by wrestling which is countered by joint locks (chin na) which is countered by striking as told by my grandmaster Chan Pui (can look him up online, he is world famous and the real deal, I pray I can move like he does when I'm 78 years old, he can still do one legged squats and raise back up on the leg and do a jumping crescent kick while the average 20 year old off the street can't do that). When grappling starts you should be able to do some kinda button pressing to gain the upper hand with strength and then turn that into a chin na lock (basically joint locks like standing arm bar, turning a choke into an arm bar, ect), so then you start hammering a button as you have the guy arm barred and as you push it, he gets lower and lower to the ground until you snap his fingers, wrist, elbow, and shoulder and throw in a knockout kick to face. Some of the stuff is not accurate too, I mean the dim mak is a pressure point move known as death touch, not everyone has the same suspectability to pressure point closure so hitting the two points on the persons back temp paralyzes them and causes failure of kidneys, other people will not be sensitive at the death touches pressure points and will look at you like what are you trying to do.
To get your hong kong undercover gangster classics fix, after enjoying infernal affairs and such, I would HIGHLY recommend one of my favs. It is like a first person shooter the last 30 mins of it. It's a John Woo gun ballet film with Chow Yun Fat, it's called Hard Boiled.
Look for appearence of main baddy Mad Dog, he is Kwok Choi who fans of 5 Deadly Venoms and the other movies that features the venoms crew (shaw brothers movies) will recognize as the Lizard. He apparently choreographied that movie along with several other hollywood movies. Another venom appears in a minor part, Lo Meng, the toad. He is one of the underlingings and gets killed on the dock when he tries to kill the undercover guy who lives on the boat as revenge for his master/godfather.
Another great one is the shaw brothers film, Hong Kong Godfather (there is also Godfather of Canton which has Gordon Lui as the godfather, the guy from kill bill and 36th chamber of shaolin to name a few). Hong Kong Godfather is finally available after 20 years in uncut form. Constant triad shootings, machete fights, and a glorious battle to the death at the end. The machete fights are what made it cut so badly in theaters, they are just hacking away at each other like they are chopping a peking duck or a kwantung cat.
Plus the thing I love about Shaw Brothers movies and just the chinese genre in general is that it's so different from the American heroes I'm always force fed here in america. Some rare ones end up with just the bad guy winning at the end, some end up with all the good guys pulling through, but the vast majority results in at least one of the main heroes at the end dying or getting fatally wounded and fighting to the death. It seems in their culture a true hero is not the one who fights like Arnold in Commando where he is not getting hurt and easily blowing a whole army away. It is the guy who is fighting for a cause (whether honor for family lol stereotype or whatever they believe in whether it's for the emperor etc) who gets in a situation where it's so bleak he is most likely not going to survive. But the hero still keeps fighting, even after being wounded and bleeding out with seconds to mins before he loses too much blood. To the eastern countries that is a tru hero, one who does not give up in the face of overwhelming odds. You fight the final big boss man and his kung fu is way better. But you still keep fighting to the death in the hopes of killing him or at least you both dying together.
Us Americans seem to think the hero lives to fight another day and the cops buddy who died to save him is not acknowledged. When the true hero was the buddy who gave his life to the cause which allowed the main hero to finish off the baddie. .

Sorry to go off topic, just was explaining what makes it unique experience, and why i'm sure everyone else seems to like it is the hong kong cinema fans. Simply describing a couple silly things like dim mak making you fly through air, thought it be cool for other martial art styles or upgrades, and was simply naming some movies that are like this game which I assum esince everyone is posting positive things about the game means they would love those type of movies.
Did get off topic with the culture differences in movies, but honestly sorry, and it would be kinda derpy to go to another forum on here and start a topic about stuff I am talking about only because of sleeping Dogs.
Or should I just type stuff about derps, console hating, derp pictures, boundle quotes, to be on topic and part of the nfohumpers forum. Half the time people are name calling or arguing about things with each other that I did not think I was typing something off topic or that would harm the eyes to read for the other half of nfohumpers who are cool, thoughtful, and generally don't waste their time posting nonsense for the sake of attacking another persons opinion or their love of control pads ect.
Just saying some vicious moves would be cool in that those movies are used in life or death situations and it seems everyone he fights he kills. Especially when slamming their heads with the car door ect. Think achievement, rip off 20 balls of your enemies, so you have to do 10 ball rips. Also weapon fighting would be fun, as in can block with weapon ect. Think if you could buy a 9 section chain whip to use as a belt and pull off during fights or a three section staff thats in the trunk of your car.

Also, I'd like to state that Hong Kong people are not happy with the game. The reason is simple: the Hong Kong area speaks mainly Cantonese and English. So, you can understand why they are not happy when the spoken language it's something that you can't reckon.

That game is right under Sleeping Dogs for me. 2nd best sandbox game around. It had a lot of shortcomings but the game was really well done. |

There is no requirement for steam install to run skidrow crack on this game. Again, I said: I don t have steam installed and never had, don t need it to run game.

Finished the game on Sunday night kept wantin to go back to it so I cranked up the iso download and amd runnin that version in 1.5 from scratch.
For me the most important thing I learned was why the roads in my town have become much more of a lottery in the last 10 years or so. There's been a big influx of peeps here from HK and mainland China and if they look the same places that damn camera does when ya throw a Sleepin Dogs vehicle into reverse its no wonder they all got such a bad name as drivers.

Oh just one other thing about the language issue. Mandarin stated off as the so called 'administrative' language of China, the Quonhua - it was introduced more universally by the Ching dynasty in an attempt to standardise the hundreds of regional dialects n languages spoken in that vast population. So for most of the 20th century, the ruling class or one percenters in both mainland China and Taiwan had the kids taught in Mandarin. But Honkong and Macau were european colonies whose elite didn't want the masses to feel any commonality with 'the commies' so they continued education in the local dialect, which was Cantonese.
