Sleeping Dogs - glitches and observations pt. 1
4A.K.A. Wei Shen's mid-life crisis.
ACT I - "it's like nothing makes sense any more"
I: while trying to find a way to permanently glitch the motorcycle helm to Wei's head, I found a way to get the cellphone stuck in his hand instead. Basically, you must have the helm on and cellphone out as you examine the door leading out of Wei's apartment. Wei will suddenly take the helm off with his cellphone hand, and after that the game basically forgets he has a cellphone out. You can start running even though the cellphone prompt is showing in the lower corner, and the cellphone graphics themself do not disappear from Wei's hand even if you parkour or fight around. However, at least entering a cutscene or calling your car out from the garage ends the glitch.
II: lighting a health shrine while cellphone is glitchily out.
III: bad luck in the second mission, as I gloriously finished Ming off so that he fell off the roof, causing a mission failure.
IV: I grabbed and dragged a foe against one of the corners during the tutorial fight of the game and ended up through the wall in a black corridor that you never normally visit. Unfortunately you can never escape from there...
V: hacking stuff while not on ground level. Just a basic displaced graphics glitch.
VI: this gambling prompt looks very odd. It doesn't normally read like that, does it? Yes, it looks like there's a part of an img tag next to the X-button image.
VII: a piece of invisible bridge railing I noticed.
VIII: it's quite simple to get inside a low roof by climbing through it. From tests, nothing interesting happened, though, you mainly just get stuck inside the collision.
IX: Wei attempts a more avant-garde style at the karaoke night... it doesn't end well...
ACT II - "can't get no release"
X: Wei, sharing his bed with a scooter.
XI: It seems Wei is now taking the scooter everywhere with him, even the toilet... where he gleefully misses the mark when urinating and makes a huge mess of the floor and the walls instead. The tiling could never be scraped entirely clean again.
XII: Something still seems off as he is trying to wash his hands in the sink...
XIII: Closing the door with the scooter in between.
XIV: The morning after...
XV: A spot at the edge of Club Bam Bam where you get glitch momentum boosts for your vehicles. You can also drive through the spot with your motorcycle, falling out of bounds. Probably nothing useful, but it teaches us that if you find a spot with ailing collision like this, use a motorcycle to drive through it.
XVI: somehow this happened when messing with the low ceilings again. Maybe this is roughly what Raymond spoke of when he mentioned Wei Shen's known "extreme behaviour" to Pendrew? As well as all the other strange things Wei did so far?
XVII: a tragic but inevitable end to this tale.
I'm still not out of glitching ideas for Sleeping Dogs, but I can't stand to play it right now for some reason. At the very least, I'll have a break and play something else for a while.
