Was thinking last night of locations for the sequel. What city do you guys think would be a good setting? My choice would be Washington DC. Hack the government.

Take it to Europe. London would be appropriate, there are cameras all over there already. Paris would be cool too.

Yeah London sounds perfect.
Yes you are. Tap L1 to holster/unholster weapon. Hold L1 to bring up the weapon wheel.
Unfortunately, that only works if you like the tracks available. At least GTA realizes that most people are not going to want hiphop in their classic rock or indie rock in their rap. The game eeally needs radio stations.
Wait...what??? offended by what exactly?
Ha..shameless, I also love how they have just used an Adidas Cap and his dad's cardigan..day 1 for me for sure
Dude probably offends himself looking in the mirror in a morning if he's offended by that.

My game (PS4) seems to be stuck on the loading screen, I deleted the game data and reinstalled and it's still happening, anybody else had this issue?
Then remove all Hip hop tracks from the playlist then
I prefer the way watch dogs does it simply because its not an hour long track for a radio station being endlessly repeated with talk overs and everything
I just uninstalled the game again. I don't think I'll ever install it again. This was a case of lost money unless Ubi decides to actually do something about that bug.
It suck I usually like their games so saying I'll never buy a Ubisoft game ever again is worthless for me because I know I will. Hell I probably even buy this game when I get a PS4 eventually. But now I'm just fucking pissed. I have four days off and I was looking forward to this and now I can't play.

Had it yesterday on Xbox One, it is probably something to do with Uplay. I had to restart a couple of times to get in

Totally agreed. I found out last night that it's much easier for me to tackle the driving if I'm in the first person or bumper cams. Really infuriating how you can't look around within the car, though.
Tried the game out at a friends last night from the start and got about 5 missions into the story. Is there like a big story hook in the first act as nothing interesting has happened so far and the game is playing it very seriously whilst being pretty uninteresting. The game seems very by the numbers so far, typical Ubisoft open world affair, go here, activate this, you've got access to the map now, collect loads of pointless collectibles. I get a feeling the game would have been much better off starting you out with hardly any hacking abilities and letting you unlock them as you progress, quite an overload of abilities from the start. Also does the reputation system affect Aiden or the story at all?

Why do you want to get to a childrens play area so bad?
Now that's funny.
Yeah that was a nice feature but a bit too many conversations recycle too quick.
reputation effects just how much the civilians decide to call the cops on your when you do something
Max Anarchist constant stream of phone calls when walking down the street
Max vigilante people commenting about how they got your back and telling you to be safe

I agree. Luckily, I find it a good way to get my sniping eye in when I start there when continuing my game.

Given that you're both in the city and don't have a helicopter on you. Otherwise it's a total clusterfuck that escalates right into the drain. Why the hell are the third person driving view angles so limited? Why can't I disable a helicopter unless I'm either driving right at it or not in a car at all?

Have you had any luck invading on PC? I can't for the love of god. I have been waiting for like 30 minutes and got only one.
Honestly, I have never used my guns in the single player asides from one forced point in the last mission in act 1. I have been a ghost using cameras most of the time.
Most of Act 1 is tutorial stuff to get you accustomed to the different facets of the game. I'm happy that they didn't gate off a bunch of skills and upgrades behind story progression. I personally don't like games that force you to progress in the story before you can start to feel like a badass especially when there's so much side content to engage that only gets better with each new upgrade and skill you acquire. I'm not even done with Act 1 and im pretty close to having my hacking skill tree maxed out and i love it.
I don't think the reputation does much other then determine how civilians look at you. The more positive rep you have the less likely they are to call the cops when they see you doing bad things
Yeah, that shit is good fun.
So even if we get to max anarchist the story will still have Aiden acting like he's fighting the good fight and acting like he's a good guy? Lame.
Ah right, did think we might still be in the tutorial but it's not really teaching us much any more, just did the first run away from fixers mission. Hoping for some story revelations to get me interested.

Yes, it feels really great battling them with tons of vehicles and people screaming everywhere.
Why does it matter? I wont even....
No I am not looking at anything other than a simple answer to my question. So I do not appreciate the "offensive" tone of your message nor the ungrounded accusations.

I'm really enjoying this game until I have to participate in a high speed chase, then I loathe it. The driving is absolutely atrocious in this game. I was hoping a driving perk would enhance the steering on the cars... but it doesn't.
The driving may be the sole reason why I do not finish the game.

Good stuff, we found it funny mowing down civilians shouting "we're preventing crime, outta the way!"
Also failed so many crimes in progress just by running into the area and getting seen by the criminal straight away lol. (how do they know Aiden is going to prevent the crime?)
Finally had my first online invader kill. I've been invaded probably 3 times in 12 hours of game play. He was at 94% when I ran up to a car and saw him slouched over and just unloaded on his head with the chrome burst fire revolver. Felt good. Dude was probably pissed since he was so close to hacking me. I love the tension of the invasion aspect, so much fun.
I need to get more creative with these granted i've only done two. I bought a grenade launcher pretty early on and just let loose. I know at some point they tell you to neutralize the target rather than kill him so will need to get the creative juices flowing at some point i suppose
Focus is the first skill you can pick up after you are forced to get garages

So just keep restarting? How long did you wait before trying again?
.50 cal is awesome because it also disables vehicles so quickly, and IED's are just self explanatory. I really like the freedom and options you have to complete those missions. So much fun. Last one I did I had to take down one of the guys. So i found a spot that had a steam pipe on the convoy path and parked a little up from it. Then i set an IED a little further down by a parked car. Blew the pipe destroying the lead car, the other two went through it, so I waited and detonated the IED, blowing up the last car. By then the middle car containing the target was so messed up, they got out and it was an easy take down.
It took a couple of tries to get that to work, but it was so satisfying when it did.
The driving itself can be hit or miss depending on the vehicle you have but i really enjoy the chases in this compared to other open world games where it's all about ramming them/shooting the car. You just can't help but feel like a bad ass in a police chase when you switch the traffic light behind you and take out one cop, take a few turns and pull up some blockers to take out another and then dip off into an alley and cut the engine and chill like a boss
I assume they dont but most of these attempted crimes happen in alleys and sometimes the criminal will look around before he engages with the victim so i just take it as them just being cautious/aware of another person being there
There's a mission called open your world thats about 5 or 6 missions in. After you complete that all your skill trees are unlocked and you're pretty much free to upgrade and experience whatever you want

I completely agree with you, but I can't enjoy those features when I'm spending most of my time ramming into objects and buildings because my car controls like shit. I do like cop chases in this game, but not with those controls!
Philadelphia.
I think that might have been me. Was it a red jeep?
10-15 minutes i think after i had already tried 2 quick restarts. Good luck mate
I only listen to kid cudi and vampire weekend songs..gets annoying.
