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

To me this is much more of a "sandbox" game than GTA IV could ever hope to be. That game was horribly linear in its mission designs.

it's depressing how little these people have in their bank accounts.

I like to think that the bank accounts have a transfer limit. I'm only allowed to withdraw 1K from my account at an ATM each day, for example, despite having much more than that.

That said, it's a little strange that you pull cash from the ATMs (even though you can withdraw tens of thousands at a time) and Aiden never pays for anything in cash. In fact,
there's a mission where you go to a bar in Pawnee and the guy asks you to pay cash, and Aiden says he's not a cash kind of guy. I had withdrawn 2K from an ATM five minutes before that. lol

Finally completed an online hack for the first time. What a thrill.

For the first time the location lent itself perfectly. They target was stood, presumably idle, in a coffee shop. I poked my head in the back door to profile them before sneaking back outside, up a dumpster then on to a raised area, around a corner and taking cover behind a vent. From here I had access to a chain of cameras back around the front of the coffee shop, down the side alley and to the dumpster which I climbed up. The perfect set up.

I initiated the hack and saw the target scrambling around in the alleys trying to find me on the cameras. I popped some pipes to try and scare him a little. He did a few laps, and then suddenly, he made for the dumpster and began to climb it. I dropped out of the camera and leapt off my ledge, and followed the path of the cameras back around the front, and then down the side of, the coffee shop.

As I was climbing back to my original spot as the coast looked clear, I noticed the target standing on top a large metal structure that was on the raised platform where my hiding spot was. He was quite high up and I just caught the purple name tag and could only see the top of his head. In lieu of risking getting away, I stood close to the structure knowing that his camera wouldn't pan low enough to see me. By now the hack was 96% done. Just as it ticked over to 99%, he turned and jumped off the structure. Luckily he went the other side to me, and it hit 100% just in time. Task complete and lots of points for me as this guy had a pretty highly rated defence.

After playing this game a while I can honestly say that it shouldn't even be considered next gen. Even with all settings maxed on PC at 1080p it doesn't look much better than GTA4 did, definitely not much better than sleeping dogs.
You sir, have never seen GTA iv on PC.
LOL.

So far I think Watch Dogs is one of the best open sandbox games despite ubisoft and their glitches. Honestly with every other sandbox games I have never felt immersed so quickly.
 
I played for 5 hours last night, I don't think I did anything story related.

Right now, I'm playing since 4 hours. I did one mission and I don't really know what the story is all about. I'm just running or driving around, stop occasionally, do stuff or invade other players.
I never spent so much time with jus doingt nothing in RDR or GTA
GTA5 is still pretty awesome - I don't know if one should compare both games

Wasn't going to buy it but went in to town today and ended up grabbing it. Really wish I hadn't. Played it for a couple of hours and ridiculously bored of it. What an awful game. Probably won't go back to it again.

Lucky... I've been trying Races, Decryption, Free Roam... none of them work. Just searches for minutes then says "No Match Found". I managed to get into ONE race last night with 3 people, including myself. The rest of my online experiences have been in a private match with my friend.

I've been avoiding hacking/tailing atm because of the supposed game-breaking bug, so maybe they work.

Do you get an error connecting to Uplay when you launch the game?

WHAT???

What bug is this and how can I avoid it (while playing hacking/trailing)?

Seeing a fair amount of critisim towards the driving , what is it that some of you aren't liking?
I'm finding the driving to be really enjoyable the cars seem to have a nice weight to them different handling on each type of car. I'm having no trouble weaving in and out of traffic at high speed during some of the most movie like car chases ive experienced in a game.

Just noticed some of these textures aren't that great even though I'm on high.

Cool game, I'm happy with it having walked and driven about in it, it's fun and impressive in its own way.

Time to go see nicky already.

well jesus thats pretty damn grim, wasnt expecting that

that was the first of those side missions i did and i was all "fuck you game for making me sad." then i went around stealing money and cars. it was kind of funny though because there was some random black dude shooting hoops outside the house.

Anyone have the consensus if I should buy the Season Pass now for PS4 or wait for a bit?

i'd wait since none of the preorder bonuses unlock

More and more people reporting issues with their save files and being stuck on the loading screen it seems. Hope we don't have to wait too long before they figure out what's causing it to happen.
I'm a bit reluctant to start a new game with the possibility of it happening again without me having to keep a constant backup of the save directory just incase. Don't wanna go to the bother of restarting and then later find myself with a second corrupt save (or whatever the hell is wrong with it).

Anyway.. hopefully won't be long before I can jump back in again. Good to see so many of you are enjoying it and not suffering from the same problem =)

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So my impressions after a day with Watchdogs:

There are some cool aspects, but overall this game sucks pretty much. I won't recommend it or probably ever finish it. The driving is embarrassingly bad.

These peeping tom side quests are pretty fucked up and twisted. I just listened to a baby being breast fed and the mom seemed to be enjoying it immensely.
 
Police chases are incredibly fun and motorcycles in this game are godly. Feels so satisfying going full speed and turning a corner.

Driving in a car feels like you're driving on ice and then there's the physics lol. It's so bad that I'm constantly laughing at the things I can do in a car and thus end up enjoying the game even more.

Why is it nearly impossible to find information on this game's free roam and co-op?

Nothing in the OP, nothing on the official site, can't find anything on their official forums, and Google gives me single paragraph articles saying that it exists and a few preview videos that don't show much of anything.

Has anybody tried it out?

Haven't tried free roam out yet but also curious to learn what is available for co op activities.

Douchebag. Yes, me.
What effect does being good/evil have on the game?

Can I potentially be really evil and also get my meter up to really good easily?

I got a question, is your PS4 set to automatic resolution?, has anybody tried setting it to 720p to play this game and see how it looks?

I'm guessing it's actually this "weight" you described which is what some people don't like. I see a lot of complaints about driving being unresponsive and laggy and I suspect the impression of weight given to the cars is what people don't like.

I really like the driving model though and don't particularly find it to be anything out of the ordinary that would cause the volume of complaints being seen.

Really liking the game. Having to"force" myself to progress the story now and then in between rather lengthier bouts of doing everything else but.

Their implementation of making cars weighty is to delay the input for a few frames. This only makes sense if it's a boat or on an oil slick or ice mesa, or some situation where you have a lot less friction and can drift. As is, it feels completely inappropriate in the game.

Good Lord. I tried a race with checkpoint like GTA. In the road with more trafic the engine has started to drop so much tearing to remember to me AC on ps3 O_O. It's happened more than a time, now I refuse to touch agains those missions. My poor little ps4, the hell you have done ubi! I hope it's a bug.

You think that's bad?

I saw a single father jacking off to porn with his baby in the other room.

And I saw a naked girl (titties in full glory, no censored shizzle) holding a gun to a nekkid dude, was some kind of fucked up game.
