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.

You think that's bad? I saw Aisha Tyler.

I don't even know how to start it ;p

That I do know. You have to advance far enough in the campaign missions to go through the multiplayer tutorial (it's early in Act 1). You will face a scripted NPC fixer meant to simulate another player. After that is done you can go to the online contracts menu within your phone, and there is a separate hub / Playlist for freeroam.

Not sure if you can do it prior to the online tutorial mission in the campaign, as I didn't try before I got past that point in the story.

Thanks - I just completed that mission and got hacked by a player shortly afterwards. Will jump into free roam and explore the environs a bit.

And random, but this is another game without a digital code for sale on Amazon's PS4 store. That store started with some decent sales but its sucked since shortly after launch. No real discounts, and some interesting games missing entirely. Was hoping to pick up a digital code and give it to a buddy.

well not really...yet
I can't help stop myself from just walking with my hands in my pockets. It's just too chill. Especially in the late afternoon and evening. Lol

Thing is GTA 5 and Sleeping Dogs spoiled alot of people. Ubi pretty much created their own GTA so business wise they created another cash cow

Aside from melee combat I don't see how Sleeping Dogs spoiled people. Aside from melee combat the game didn't do anything particularly great. I suppose the story was better than most open world games though.

one thing i havent seen much through talk is it better to go digital or get the disc for the ps4. my ps4 isnt loud by all means but lately i think i am just to lazy to bother going to goto gamestop and give them my money and if its a game were it has some legs and i can go back to since my regular life is all over the place since i have a new little one welcomed to my family. any input is much appreciated.

How about dem servers tho?

I love how it keeps warning me about being disconnected too.

Yeah I hope the servers and uplay itself stabilize before too long so as to ensure the community at large doesn't just outright stop trying to play multi. When it's working (and you can find and get into a match) it is so much fun.

God's had his chance.
Iv'e had some really great dynamic experiences so far. Some really REALLY impressive shootouts (like the gang war street fight in GTA5 only more... realistic? Harsh?) and some hilariously great online experiences.

Me and a buddy of mine from work were drinking back and playing the game and all of a sudden i get an online invite from ... my buddy who is right next to me. I look at him and hes on his phone on the ctOS app with a smirk on his face..."cmon dude lets try this out at least once!" We played cops and robbers for 2 hours.

Pretty impressive so far for a game i had lost a lot of hype on. Night time/rain scenes still look ridiculously good and one I get the (somewhat obscure) controls down this should be a good time.

BUT -

Does anyone else feel like this is the most gamiest game game they've ever played? after that initial mission and the following campaign markers all of the "side mission" content stuff feels like concentrated Ubisoft filler shit. I just got done 100% my single player AC4 game and zooming out on this map with all the little nicks and nacks to gather and collect makes me ill...

The side things are a lot more interesting than ACIV.

It's like Ubi can only do one or the other. ACIV had a great campaign but sucks side stuff and this is the opposite.
 
I have yet to catch an invader. I did chase a couple away and one guy got booted by the game for opening fire on me. Apparently you aren't allowed to shoot even after the fixer finds you. lol

So far I haven't found the mechanic to be too intrusive either. Hopefully I get better at finding those filthy hacking bastards!

Once again, if anyone has Pulse Elites or Golds there was a Headset app update released today that put a Dogs sound mix in.

Sounds great =D

Cold weather?

Judging by the color of the tree leaves it's Autumn and I definitely heard an NPC mention that Christmas was approaching.

Or maybe simply because trenchcoats are badass

Yea it was cool when the game was a cyberpunk tech noir game set at night but the look doesn't work so well during the day. Guess things started to clash when the game was delayed to be more GTA and less the unique open world tech thriller it was pitched as.

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

lol

Maybe he instantly deposits it into his own, we just don't see it.

Originally it was meant to launch at Thanksgiving, so I don't doubt it.

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.

The first one I got was the
dead dad on floor
with son calling saying he (his dad) isn't a bother and will be over later on... I felt little sad from that...

God this game is so fucking cool. I feel like Batman when I drive around in my muscle car, get a pop-up about a possible crime, make a U-turn and drive fullspeed to the crime scene.

Preventing a crime is super satisfying, even though the NPC reactions are often somewhat silly and break the immersion a bit.


Also - what the hell at that huge Bean thing, that looks amazing with the flowing colors inside!

The next one I got was guy and girl on couch. Guy tells girl that he love her and always has. Girl says she loves him as a friend and brother. Guy says of course! that's what I mean.

Made me think of OT board. :p

Has anyone tried remote play on vita and PS4? If so, impressions would be great. Would really like to get this, but playing it this way would make it easier to find the time with having kids etc.

Just wanted to add that this would be local network remote play.

I remember at one point I had pre-ordered this game when first available to do so for PS4. After hearing about the delay, I canceled the pre-order. After seeing images, videos/webm's of the game now released, I am very happy I did not support this game. I just cannot reward Ubisoft for the many oversights that I see and just things they plainly did not want to add to the game to make it more realistic. I'll wait until this goes to Greatest Hits maybe.

It works really well, even has a custom control scheme made by Ubi. The lag is barely noticeable and doesn't effect the gameplay for me. But I'm not really good at shooting with the Vita sticks.
