Cool, thanks. Not meaning to make this thread about gta 5 haha, just wanted a quick comparison. Thought it was a tad smaller, but there is a lot of bare land in gta 5.

No probs!

Also worth mentioning: for just fucking about and creating chaos in the open world, Watch Dogs 2 is going to be a blast for your pal. GTA V has better actual gunplay and the physical simulation is way better, but in WD2 pedestrian AI is awesome and there are a couple of gang factions who have equal weight to the cops, so often you'll be in a police chase but then some gang members will spot the cops and get in combat with them and the whole thing will turn into a massive battle.

I doubt your friend will go this deep, but you can also unlock abilities which let you call cops/gangs on people to start wars, pretty much.

That never happens in GTA V. Like it physically can't.

So is the multiplayer part working now?

So is the multiplayer part working now?

Yep.

50 hours. Done main story. Still loving the side quests. Rarely does a game do this to me.

It works, unfortunately it relies on 2 people or more!

Wait, are you telling me multi-player requires multiple players???

 

[Kuldar]

Cool I put the game on hold this week because playing without invasion was weird (loved this part in Watch_Dogs).

 

[N° 2048]

What is this madness? I demand single player multi player.

 

[Stealthcobra]

Yep.

Whats so good about them?

 

[N° 2048]

The stories, from leaking a Ubisoft game trailer to the Zodiac Killer. Wu Tang album parody, etc.

Well written and gameplay is not getting old.

 

[Zurick]

I think it's a little more complicated than that. People need to have functioning brains and such lol

 

[An-Det]

When you finish that mission it will put you back at the moment just before you accepted the mission.

Thanks!

 

[bananafactory]

That's a wrap!

Second favourite of the year so far. I absolutely adore this game

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

Yep.

50 hours. Done main story. Still loving the side quests. Rarely does a game do this to me.

I even enjoy the cab side mission when i wouldn't not even imagine doing them in GTA.

Yeah the open-world in this game is top notch and just fun to explore.

Guys! Gaming dilemma. Worth picking up for £35? Really wanna get it, but not sure if it's worth it at that (I guess it will be similar around Christmas).

Yes. Get it.

 

[SaiyanRaoh]

This is literally the only game I have yet to pick up for Black Friday. I think it's the only game that hasn't decreased in price for the US in any reasonable way.

As a hater of the first game, totally.

 

[bananafactory]

Is there a way to play the OST from your phone media player in the game?

Is that what the uplay soundtrack reward is?

 

[Deathknell]

Pc preload is up, only 19gb.

If you're really dead set on playing it sure that's a decent price.

 

[ymgve]

Protip: you can place sticky mines on the quadcopter/jumper then do a "suicide" attack with them. Makes doing those "destroy X items" missions a real breeze. (Though don't do that unless you have the upgrade that decreases recharge time for the copter)

Don't you mean 'ded sec' on playing it?

Get out.

You should be banned for 1 week for such an awful pun.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

Game is awesome

Haven't played any missions past the first one and i have played about 20 hours

Lol

 

[JaseC]

PC pre-load is live. 22.96GB install/19.2GB download on Steam, which is much smaller than I would have guessed.

 

[Alienous]

Just started today.

This is a damn good game. Something that can stand toe-to-toe with GTA comfortably.

I'm a little disappointed with how it controls though. It doesn't seem as refined and dependable as Watch Dogs 1, even discounting the more complicated controls.

And man I don't want to kill anyone. Feels weird in the context of the story.

 

[robotrock]

Ubisoft please unlock the PC version today

Origin pre-load not available yet. The price you gotta pay for 50% off

The original game unlocked hours late on Origin. I wonder if history is preparing to repeat itself.

 

[Creamium]

Was listening to ost at work (Hudson Mohawke) and there's so much great stuff there. 'Play N Go'... so good

 

[Johndoey]

Oh yeah the OST is fantastic.

 

[N° 2048]

Yep. OST is ace .

 

[vypek]

I agree with liking the OST. Like when they play set tracks for missions. Onto the MP trophies. I feel like the last ones I have will take me a while unless I boost one with someone.

Where exactly are people finding their playtime?

EDIT: PvP is already fucked up because people will barricade themselves in a building and then use explosives and drones the whole time.

 

[NickatNite]

Lol

Damn, I'm playing the main objectives slow but not that slow.

 

[sjay1994]

This games tone is so light and fun that when it gets heavy its so jarring. I find the guy commiting suicide live in oakland and listening to his last words to his wife and kid...

Like fuck............

And then I get followers for it.

 

[ScaryShark]

Cab missions are far better than they have any right to be.

 

[Hasney]

Yep. OST is ace .

Anything with Hardcore Holly and the Hardy Boys theme in the metal bar mission works for me.

Spoiler

also NOFX

I like that they haven't made it one note. If it was only one or the other the satire wouldn't work at all.

Just finished it. What a thrill. Loved every minute. Easily GOTY for me.

This fucking year for games though... It's up there forme for sure. Hell, I even wrote a thing:

[User 479360]

Sweet, Watch Dogs 2 (both versions) are on hold for me at the library. I didn't know because they didn't call.

Now I can finish it.

(I sometimes hold both versions if I'm undecided as to what I'll play. Then I ask them to put the other one back on the shelf. The library doesn't get a lot of holds -- I may be the only one who held it.)

 

[ezekial45]

This game is charming as fuck. I love it. Stellar turn around from the last game. I love these characters so much, and I'm very interested in doing more missions with them further down the line in DLC. I hope the game will pick up in sales in the coming months. They really did right by the franchise with the shift in tone.

Also, LOVED the use of

Spoiler

Scott McKenzie's 'San Francisco'

during the ending scene. It was perfect.

 

[bananafactory]

So I beat the game but haven't done any Driver or Scout missions

What are they and how do they work? Gonna start on them this weekend

ScoutX you take pics with landmarks and art around the world and Driver you are basically an Uber driver.

They are both super fun because of the little stories and the shit can happen going from Point a to Point B.
