I am finding it very difficult to be stealthy in this game. Seems they really want you to go the stealth route and not use weapons... but it's hard.
I guess I need to change my mindset regarding stealth in this one.
Coming from MGS, Splinter Cell, Thief, Styx and other stealth induced games, this one needs an entirely different approach. I don't like relying on my drone or jumper in order to finish missions in red zones, but I guess I do not have any other choice.
It feels like the stealth isn't suppose to be made without the Quadcopter and the Jumper. Like they purposely deteriorate the good stealth present in Watch_Dogs in order to push the use of drones. At first I was frustrated, but now I have a lot of fun sneaking with drones. But I can understand that people don't like it and regret the stealth from WD.
Completely agree.
In those games you listed, say if a guard comes towards you while you're hiding in a corner.
You silence pistol him to the head before he gets to call in. You can move the body (in most stealth games). Perfect, undetected, move on to the next.
Nope, not Watch_Dogs 2.
Completely hidden and took out a guard silently without anyone noticing? BOOM fucking suddenly everyone knows where you are.
It's like all the guards are rigged together with some type of GPS thing that can detect when a guard is dead and sends that location to everyone ....
because in some situations it should be impossible to know where I am. I love this game(check my previous post, my goty) but yea it forced me to approach it differently.
Just don't forget, grind a bit for those perks![]()
In a way it makes sens that guards are instantly alerted in the always connected world of Watch_Dogs.It's like all the guards are rigged together with some type of GPS thing that can detect when a guard is dead and sends that location to everyone ....
I think that it count yes. With the quadricopter it's mostly scouting and doing no-physical hacking. If there is something to pick-up or a physical hacking (and it's the case in a lot of mission), the Jumper have the same detection issue than with Marcus (full aggro of the zone, omsniscient guards). But since it has a better mobility and it's easier to hide with it, it's way less painfull. But I could be wrong on how to see it as stealth. Maybe we can call it remote infiltration.Does using a drone even count as stealth? It's basically just bypassing 90% of the obstacles most of the time.
While I was flying the drone around, some woman started randomly beating me up. I just kind of ran circles around her until the cops showed up, arrested her, put her in the back of the police car, and drove off.Just randomly stumbled across donut man who was getting picked on by some guys so I beat em up and got a photo with him.
So much great random stuff happens when you just walk around . I loved gta5 for similar reasons but I feel more happens randomly in this game.
Starting to realize this too. I think the game doesn't really want you to stealth through a restricted area with Marcus, it pushes you to instead use your drones. I guess those are fun too but it would have been nice to use Marcus too, splinter cell style.
The AI is also insane like everyone is saying. Detection time is like immediate and they stay firing. I understand it's not really realistic in other games how long it takes to get spotted and how forgiving stealth mechanics generally are, but it makes stealth actually fun to play. Stealth in this game is just not fun, at least for me so far.
Do you have the research to make the jumper jump higher unlocked?
I don't really get why push for stealth and then make AI as trigger happy as these guys, security guard sees you trespassing on a parking lot? Open fire and call in reinforcements, that seems to be their response for everything which is a shame. They could have at least made it so that the guards don't attack you right away and just ask for you to leave first, i get them breaking the drones and whatnot but how they act towards you is just ridiculous.
No, why? It's on the ground, no need to jump!
There is a key prompt to physically interact with things using the jumper. Same key that Marcus and the jumper use to physically hack things. That is the same key used to pick things up with the jumper.
Has anyone been able to find a vomiting person in the game? 😒
I am not getting that prompt right now unupgraded, you only get it after getting Enhanced Spring then?

Um, I was pretty sure it was there from the start. I don't recall having to do anything extra. Have you been able to hack using the jumper yet? Try the button without any prompt when you are near the item?
I'm not sure if we actually have to spoiler what we are talking about. But also post a link to a screenshot if you can.
Oh, there was no prompt on screen but pressing E worked.
Thanks!
I feel utterly bewildered by just about everything in this game and I've played a pretty decent amount trying to figure the game out. I have no idea how to play because the stealth is bad and feels impossible and everyone in a 5 mile radius opens fire on you instantly for just trespassing. I've just bought a big assault rifle and full auto shotgun and have tried the shooting out and it also isn't very fun and goes against everything in the writing. Slaughtering a dozen security guards just to hack something to exact societal justice seems completely ridiculous.
Not being able to pick up anything with the drone sucks. All the money bag and research point hunts are an enormous chore. Run around a building looking for a way up and most of the time there is no way up. Several times I've picked up something with a forklift and climbed on top of the picked up thing and it feels like I'm cheesing my way up. One of the points I was trying to get was in a room with literally no doors or openings for the RC car. Maybe I can eventually unlock the ability to walk through walls because it's the only way I can think of how to get to it.
I have had fun once and it was by messing with a random AI pedestrian. Aside from that I am constant state of confusion and not having any fun at all. This is the second time I've asked people here and my friends, "how the hell do you play this game?" I just don't get anything at all. It's got infinitely more personality then the first game but I am having about as much fun as the first game which is to say basically no fun at all.
Did you take a selfie with dogs humping in the background? The game isn't done until this has been accomplished....and we're done.
My first platinum ever too, yea it was easy but I never care about trophies so getting this was a little special. I always thought Fallout 4 would be my first plat.
-65 hours
-around %92 total completion (story + extras)
-All ScoutX done (probably one of the best things in the game, San Fran in this game is beautiful and so detailed).
Time for FFXV, not deleting Watch_Dogs 2 though. Will def pop in from time to time to fuck around.
Goodnight San Francisco <3

I didn't haha but I was walking around and heard a guy get hit by a car. Turns out he was just walking his dog...poor guy died..but what happened next was almost made me cry.
The dog didn't just go off, he slowly looked at the body, sniffed it...whined then laid down next to the body as the medic was saying the guy was dead. I decided to take a picture and then boom, I got fucking photobombed.
This game.
Oh I've had fun in this game. The attention to detail is excellent. Shame I've had a few ctd's. Could be I have MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner running.
Anyway, made a car drive lose control. It hits someone who promptly dies. Ambulance and Police are called. Paramedic says "DOA, I'll check for details" and the Police arrest the driver and put him in their Police car. Oh and the accident victim? Says "frequent traffic accidents" on their Ctos data. Lots of nice touches like this.
Yeah. Why no option to give them money? Or anyone for that matter.I almost feel bad about hacking $700 from some homeless guy.

I expected as much, but the Mr. Robot guy seems completely disinterested on this stream. Plus, they have to keep telling him the same controls over again.
Man, I remember when you first posted this. I shared it with the team and we were very glad to see this feature really paid off for us. Really happy you've enjoyed itI didn't haha but I was walking around and heard a guy get hit by a car.
