Too hard

[Elly (evil)]

From my play time (which is not much:P) this game isnt easy but infact hardcore, Im stuck on Club Bam Bam mission and when i am up to fight the last thugs one has a knife and always slices me up. Anyway tell me if you think its too hard and why.

It isn't hard at all. It might be hard compared to other games where the focus is more on shooting, since that's something we're all used to.
The fighting in this game takes some getting used to, but if you practice (at the martial arts school for example) the fights become really enjoyable, since you can take out 10 guys without even getting touched. If you haven't already, try the mission "Amanda" before you do Club Bam Bam.

Counter...a lot. Look for health shrines. You have a huge open area to explore. Do what you can before taking the regular missions.

Like Spawn said i suspect you are not countering enough. If an enemy is blocking your punches stop attacking. When they turn red counter, then follow up with some hits. The more enemies, the more you should be countering.

I counter counter counter, and I find that counter is bugged in that it dosen't always work. My mouse button seems to be okay. I'm stuck at Bam Bam too. Hate no check points during each fight encounter. Talk about getting mad when being knifed by the last guy in the bathroom only to have to do the whole long thing over again, is BS.

I guess I have to waste time running around the city to level up more.

This game, unfortunetly, seem to best played with a controller. It is, afterall, a console port. The controlls aren't as refined for a m&k setup, though they are workable.

Look for the shrines. They are your best way to get health. Also, eat and get an energy drink to boost your regen and attack power before entering the club.

get knife demon guy first or better yet, find the shrines and statues to upgrade. You get one that prevents interrupts.

You've just got to work on timing. I play with mouse and keyboard and have had no issues with fighting. also grapples are pretty handy with the other guys. the knife guy should be dealt strong attacks and counters. that should knock the knife out. then press r grab the knife and kick their asses.

i use controller and everytime i grab the knife and use it i drop it then some other ♥♥♥♥ head picks it up and kills me :(

The difficulty is really high somewhere in the middle, then it gets easy after you get more moves. Don't get discouraged and keep trying! The game is really great looking back on it.

That outfit helps a lot.

Run around and fly kick people and see if that helps. (JK, but if it works then your welcome)

this game is easy to me, like the only game i have ever been so good at. I have beaten game twice, once with keyboard and once with controler. Countering does help. If up against difficult enemy or enemy with weapon, hit them once then wait for them and counter. And lets not forget you can throw wepons for insta kill. Get weapon, throw at guy with weapon, pick up weapon, and repeat. The most difficult i would say is gun aiming like in any other game. But at least we can agreee Sleeping Dogs is a great game!
