yeah, i agree. picked up the season pass and was gutted when i realized i didn't get the clothes they offered in the season pass trailer. i mostly picked it up for the extra mission with the crazy redneck (can't remember his name right now). but the clothes on day one seemed like a nice bonus also. sucks you don't get them on day one.
LOL...I will laugh if Ubisoft is forced to pay the city back the money for sending out their bomb squad team.
The cost is like 20-30k I think.

Been playing the PS4 game today and I'll tell you all right now, it is IMPOSSIBLE to recognize that this game is running in 900p instead of the full 1080, ESPECIALLY since I'm playing on a 720p TV.
OK, I got to play about an hour so far, and the people who said the game barely looks better than GTA V (in daytime) are smoking crack. The game looks great and runs without a hitch so far, and this is just based on the Xbone version.
The driving portion is not as bad as I thought it would be based on early impressions I've read, although it does feel like some cars handle a lot easier than others. So far, I really like it.

That would be a pretty good reason. :lol
I'm really enjoying this game so far. Story missions have been lackluster but the open world stuff feels very well conceived. Tons of fun and satisfying stuff to do and the profiler can lead to some surprising interactions. I'm digging it.
Sorry about the poor quality, this is the best I could do right now. Figured I'd see how Aiden reacts to getting hit by the train...

Let me know if the video doesn't play for you guys, I uploaded it as private so I don't know if embedding will work.

I can't tell if you're trying to prove me wrong or support what I was saying. I'm hoping it's the latter, because there's no way anyone in their right mind would say that compares to WD during the daytime.

Thank god, I thought people were really starting to lose their minds in this thread.I'm supporting what you're saying, silly

Played about an hour today completing the first mission.
Driving is hard as hell must have killed tons of civilians trying to escape from the police lol. And is just me or are the police hard as fuck to shake ?
Edit: visually looks fantastic too !!!

So ahhhh....has anyone found a way to invade friends? Am I missing something? The ability wasn't in the beta, figured it was just locked in the build and the final version would have it.

I've downloaded the AMD beta driver from the official website and got a Blue Screen of Death during the instal.
What the fuck, AMD

Played a few hours after work. Initial reaction is that despite issues, they have nailed the hardest thing about open world games: crazy shit just naturally happens.
Within the first couple hours I got on a stupid police chase caused by a phone-in of my general douchbagery that resulting in me ditching the car in a canal and randomly swimming to a boat with which I outran a helicopter and escaped.
Then I sailed back in to a beautiful nighttime city scape while rocking some awesome jazz. And then I just ran around to awesome jazz. The soundtrack is so good I parked it and left it playing while cooking dinner.
Its got many flaws, and it's very early, but it has a little special something.

You can't. It's randoms only which really really sucks.

What the hell were they thinking? Welp, guess I have to go back to hacking randoms to around 90% before they rage quit out and I get nothing for it...

When can you do the introduction for online contracts mission?
I kind of shrugged at the featured songs, but I could go through a hundred songs and not like one, so...
That said, this game NEEDS a user music playlist feature. No reason or excuses on earth not to allow this. It was also a feature in GTA IV PC.
First Windows does not boot up, then this?
I downloaded and installed the beta driver just fine, smooth sailing - I guess there is something wrong with your setup/install. (Also there is a PC performance thread).
Damn it, I wanted to troll my friends.

Yeah well until about 45 minutes ago I was trying to get my hacking trophy but the amount of people online has been getting smaller.
I'm using a DS4. It's been sublime so far. Though there's not an option to show XO⃞Δ instead of ABXY, so that might be a problem for some.

Do the vast majority of people really disconnect? That's fucking sad. Do you even lose anything substantial by being hacked or tailed?

A lot? As in enough to justify disconnecting?
Try inviting your friend into your Uplay party, then queue for online hacking and see if it lets you create a private lobby.
It's no AC1. That game was straight up bad as a proof of concept. Do these 4 or 5 tasks 100 times in the game, most of which make no sense and have no differentiation.S¡mon;113716060 said:
Come on. This game isn't AC1 by a long shot. Sure it has potential to grow and I'm sure the sequel will have the franchise come into its own, but...

Nope I lose maybe 70-200 points if I donot stop a hack or if I'm stopped. Now that's just from your multiplayer level but you do get skills from that so you want to keep it up. Not much money is lost either in fact I haven't lost any yet that might have just been in the beta, even so I lost like 500 max. Plus in this game you get cash so fast it's crazy.

Damn, I was listening to a conversation about a dude doing some chick and having to pee and it was interrupted. Wanted to hear how it finished.
Haha yeah I heard the same one. He talks about how he ended up going for about 30 minutes cause all he could do was think about peeing and he couldnt finish the job.
DAT Ass Creed reference.
So, like real pedestrians?

I agree, the few times when that would happen , it would really break the immersion i had built up through Aiden.
Little stuff like this is surprisingly disruptive :/
I noticed that video is about GTA4 vs Watc_Dogs, GTA had its 4th try at an open world game, Watch_Dogs is a new IP, give it a break. Truth is i did notice some of these things at first and was a tiny bit sad but the game makes up for it in the rest of the full-fledged living world it immerses you with.
Lupe Fiasco - Day and Night is in the game as an unlockable track.
YES. OMG YES.
Ok this is my favorite open world city game I have played yet, I am used to the driving now and it feels very good , yes arcade but fun and fast and controllable, especially in dash cam. The hacking, stealth, upgrades all combine to feel fresh and new.
The chases are cool and not frustrating, if you use your hacks. The variety so far, is really cool. Was awed by GTA V graphics and world but got bored really quick with the forced story. I'm hardly doing the story and enjoying this more.. looks a lot better than expected as well

Just pops you back to your last autosave, nothing big.
I don't know the names, but my favorites are two variation on the original outfit, only with blue and green sweaters instead of the white one and a grey coat instead of the leathery one. All the hat and shoe models except for the original look silly, so it's a bit hard to just find a combo that includes no weird stuff.
