Watch_Dogs |OT| PS4 would probably melt trying to do this

I'm nitpicking here but I dislike how far inwards the HUD is from the edge of the screen. I know it's to put it in the overscan safe zone but the PS4 allows you so set your screen size.
Also I'm assuming there's no option to put your phone away when you're walking around? It mildly annoys me seeing the occupation, salary, etc, details of the pedestrians all the time.
Press square to put away your phone.
Lol same. I was hiding in this parking lot full of cars and the guy I was hacking just started grenade launching everything, killing me.
On this tail mission, my target got on a train right when I profiled him. I ended up chasing after him in a van as the train kept going. It worked until he looked out the back window of the train.
And this one I just did, the guy was getting chased by the cops and I was helping keep them off of him.
Aye, you're not alone. Having the same problem here
I'm just hoping it's server related/to do with cloud saves or something else on their end rather than the save file.

Typically I can accept that some people just have different opinions, but nahhhh. There's no way anyone in their right mind would say something like this. Watch Dogs controls are buttery as fuck and way smoother, responsive, and intuitive than Ass Creed and especially GTA V. You are wrong and your opinion in this area is naught.

I have it locked to 50fps and it feels really smooth

A lot of games are like that to me. They should always allow you to spread it to the edges if you want, I think.
Hmmm
Did it unlock after a certain point? Ps4 shows it downloaded, is listed on my profile, but none of the in game items are there

It also looks like they directly transfered the character movement and weighting over from AC. So saying it's not as good as AC is kinda funny.

So what happens when you're spotted? Does your mission fail?
Ugh, release day shipping from Amazon looks to have been a mistake. Got my game in the usual bubble-envelope which I haven't had troubles with in the past. Something felt off and I saw there was a practical fold in the game case. I opened it anyway (I didn't buy the game for the case, which I could replace later) hoping the disc would be ok and it looked totally fine, no cracks or scratches even, but when I put it in my PS4, my drive made a bunch of rev-up/slow-down noises in a row and then unexpected error :-\ Tried a couple more times, same thing. Submitted a broken goods replacement case to amazon and my replacement is ordered... and will be here in 2 days. So much for door-to-door convenience.

Just push Square again. It puts away your phone.

Wish first person driving had an option to look out the left/right windows.
No. It only fails if he kills you. I bet he was super confused.

Do I buy it GAF? I'm so tempted, and not sure if PC or PS4.

How are you guys locking your FPS? Using the adaptive vsync via NVIDIA Control?

I have the Season Pass but i have no idea where the stuff is or how to access it, it doesn't even say anywhere that i have actually got the season pass.

Hmmm. That could be a UPlay issue then. Trials Fusion also had that problem. I'll buy it tonight and see what happens.

I have to say that I am liking the game now. Took me a bit of time to get into it. Did my first invasion and passed it, that was awesome.
The graphics are pretty awesome and the daytime lighting looks much better than in all the videos I have seen. I love the how the foliage moves in the wind. Story/characters are ok so far. I am ready for more!

UPlay was down before I went to work this morning, but I could still launch the game (non Steam version). Is it still down for everyone?

I don't have the game, but seeing how this is a "next-gen" game, its missing details that old ass GTA4 has.

-No headlight shadows
-Way less vehicle damage
-No scrapes on walls
-no blood on cars after mowing over tons of people
-half assed reflections
-bad water hydrant phyics

I would imagine all of them to be available in the wardrobe from the get-go, unless there are missions associated with them.
In retrospect, I kinda wish I had pre-ordered the game go get my hands on some of those. There's plenty of outfits available in the stores for sure, but a lot of them just look silly to me. The leather jackets are definitely the prettiest option with the way they reflect light and environments.
That's what I thought as well, but I only have the original outfit in my wardrobe.

I have a bad feeling it is a save file unfortunately. I guess I'll just watch the hockey game tonight instead

Any new ps4/Xbox one comparisons?

Can anyone at least tell me if the PS3 version has any screen tearing?
The PS4 exclusive outfit appeared there for myself at least. I'd guess that it could be bugged if you downloaded and installed the pre-order stuff after starting a new game, but I can't see that being a thing because they sell a Season Pass to unlock most of that.

Is there any reward to the terrible alien shooter mini game? Because I'm at wave 16 and I want to quit as soon as possible and never want to play it again.

That's how I feel about it. No honey moon period or fanboy glasses. It has many flaws but it's the most fun I've ever had in a sandbox game. Even if Volition had made the real Saints Row 3, I'd still like Watch Dogs better. These controls are good enough to be in a linear stealth/shooter game. There's a bunch of side missions and surprisingly I don't find them rote as hell like other Ubisoft sandbox side crap. Plus, I haven't even turned multiplayer on yet. All Ubisoft has to do is flesh out the hacking more in the next game and that' shit'll be ace.

Thanks. Finally an answer. I'm now avoiding it. I hate tearing. Not buying. Hopefully I'll get a PS4 for Christmas.
Think I should start a new game? Or contact Ubi?

Little stuff like this is surprisingly disruptive :/
Invisible walls have been in just about every game since....forever it seems.

Game has a confusing attitude to murder/mayhem. "Gang missions" seem to be hurt 1 or 2 people whilst killing 20.
"Criminal convoy" appears to be don't use any cool hacking stealth stuff ever. Ram them, Take the car out with a hack at traffic light and kill a lot of dudes. Am I missing some nuances of play or is this really it?
The game seems to start asking you to do non lethal takedowns then puts you in situations where you have to scarface loads of dudes. I don't get it.

The non lethal take downs are in place to prevent you from simply grenade launching a convoy or going into a gang hideout before profiling your target.
Which platform? On PS4 one of the notifications in the download area says Season Pass. There's also a few other downloads associated with it. Also on PS4 you can go into the game's menu on your main UI bar and look at all the add-ons that are associated with the game. If you own it on Xbox One, you can go into Games and Apps and hit the menu button on the Game and it will show you all the extras you have as well.
Spent the whole day playing it, just love it so far despite the usual Ubisoft trademark of piling on one useless thing after another.
I do enjoy the Fixer missions, Gang hideouts and Digital Trips though. The music that players during the Fixer missions is so good. I haven't tried Convoys yet though, any tips to those ones?
On the other side of the coin, mundane crap like trying to hack something in so many minutes is annoying, as is encountering a possible crime for the billionth time.
Love using stealth, using cameras and distractions to my advantage then just using focus, silenced pistol and headshots, so rewarding.
The last hour I was just messing around alot, took a boat through the river in the Loop out into the ocean and the skyline during the night was amazing. I went to the lighthouse and it started to rain, so I gifted about $200. What's the deal with that anyway? If I drop it off, somebody else in a completely different game can pick it up? Also, when does online trailing become an option for me? And I also can't unlock some skill points because it tells me I need to do 'Open Your World' or something. I've only done about 2 or 3 story missions so far, the rest of the time I was just messing around.
