I like some of the random events. Was walking by flirting with a few dudes and prostitutes when all of a sudden some woman comes smack the crap out of a car with a bat having a go at her husband. Guy then comes out and gets in the car and speeds off down the road. Hope to find more of this stuff.
Aiden is terrible for sure, but I don't get the Kratos comparison, Kratos is awesome!

Hey guys. Playing on PS4 Pro. Is anyone else getting/noticing game breaking framepacing issues while driving? The sudden judder/stutter is absolutely jarring and destroying my enjoyment of the game :/
Edit:
Noticed this in the previous page. They had since W_D to figure this shit out, as it was plagued by the same fucking issue. Incompetence at its finest.

I came across the same scenario today but it was a gay guy smashing up his cheating boyfriends car.
Me too. The most fun I had in The Division was rooting through abandoned houses, stealing clothes, and dressing my character in pink everything.
That's difficult to do when the character is not necessarily a player avatar but has a clearly defined character and role in the story. Not impossible but it would require a lot of extra work.
Kratos is a fucking idiot who continually makes things worse for himself and pretty much everybody else because he can't admit his own faults and does not stop for one second to think about whether there might be another solution to the problems he faces (which he himself created for the most part) other than beating everything he comes across to a bloody pulp. It becomes increasingly hard to root for him and to justify his insane lust for revenge on everybody who looked at him sideways.

Cool, thanks.
Nope Aiden was created to be messed up and no one could understand that simple point
They even had literal diagnosis for his psyche in the game and no one paid attention
That's a bad excuse for an even worse character.

Yea, I took some ingame screenshots and recorded a small video and its present on both of them, so its the game, nothing we can do about it I guess unless they somehow fix it in a patch.

...I love this excuse. You were absolutely supposed to sympathize with Aiden, pretending otherwise because he's clinically diagnosed at some point is utterly hilarious.

Aiden is awesome when compared to Kratos.
Oh man, the drone. It changes everything. Doing the doxxer side mission lead me to a secluded site where I could give it a nice test run, since there were only a few guards. I hovered over them, messed with the cars (this skill is so much fun in its own right), triggered an explosion, then switched to the jumper since they were scattered. Messed with two guards' phones, and was able to drive through and hack the station. Exit out, jump on chopper, get cruising. I now want the boost upgrade to speed things up.
Topic title should be Watch_Dogs 2 |OT| Buy the drone first
I love this game. It's like the anti-GTA if you want it to be.
Sure as hell hope not because this is the most fun I've had with a Ubisoft game in... well years probably.

20 pages? Does GAF not like Watch_Dogs 2 or is this a bomba?

I can already tell that this game will benefit greatly for the horde mode coming in future DLC. The missions and side missions are fun but the world does feel empty in certain places.
Also is there a way to change the time of day? I only like playing at night.

I really hated WD1's driving, but I replayed it and Bad Blood a lot right before this came out, to the point where I was so used to it that I thought the driving felt perfectly fine. I heard they changed the driving in this one and I was afraid it was going to be hard to re-wire my brain again. It did seem a bit twitchy at first but I got used to it fast. Feels good man.

there's a chair you can "rest" in at HQ to change the time of day I think
Being arcadey has nothing to do with it since that word in itself doesn't mean anything outside of saying it isn't realistic. The driving in Watch Dogs just feels terrible due to the weird momentum and complete lack of weight.
If you interact with the couch at HQ you can "rest" until a specified time of day.
Mass Effect is a different kind of game, you very much get to decide what kind of character Shepard is supposed to be, even if there are some things you can't change or influence. That's not the case with Marcus.
Ahh ok then

I think it's how bland he is. He's so bland he's actually unlikable. Like, fills you with hatred, he's so generic. All his selfish trials and tribulations are so meaningless and self absorbed and we never get into his shoes.
I like it a lot, the new gadgets and other gameplay enhancements make it much more fun to play than the first one.

It's been out for like 1 day in a November with many popular games.
It's fun so far and looks great, I think a lot of people got burnt on the first game though and are skeptical

If someone told me this was a GTAV selfie, I would believe it. They ripped off the framing, angle and everything.

Like said above, lots probably got burned on WD1 and are avoiding 2, then there's also all the other November games.
I'd post more but tbch, all I've done since the game came out is cook, clean, sleep and play (not much else to do this week and the weather isn't too great)
And GTA V ripped off real life selfies =]
Agreed agreed agreed. Except Kratos is the worst though, but he's not far off from Aiden Pearce.
... it's a selfie, how do you rip off a selfie angle/frame?
