You guys that are a little further in the game could you help me out a little. I don't seem to have Points of Interests unlocked at Pawnee and I don't see a ctOS tower marked on the map. I do have the all ctOS towers unlocked trophy though, so I don't think theres one in Pawnee at all.

Do you need to go a bit further in the campaign to unlock the hideout and such in Pawnee?

 

[purg3]

I think that might have been me. Was it a red jeep?

Nah, it was a grayish van

 

[failgubbe]

Was going to impulse buy the game on the Xbox One games store today.

Load up the store.

£60 for the digital version?!

Fuck off Ubisoft... lol

Why fuck Ubisoft when it's the same price as 90% of the titles that aren't indies?

Edit: Might be different with pounds. Sorry

 

[names2hard4you]

GAF I have zero to no interest in doing any of the secondary stuff in this game... I just go from mission to mission. I like the game, I really do, but I just won't bring myself to do anything aside from the story. There's so much to do, that I end up doing none of it. Am I the only one??

In the UK the highest I've seen is £54.99 for Titanfall and CoD Ghosts.

This seems to just be an extra £5 just cause "they can".

I'm doing the complete opposite. I'm really enjoying the side stuff. Criminal Convoys and Investigations are pretty fun actually.

 

[Nintyb]

I bought the season pass but I don't see the mobster outfit at my hideout. Is there something I need to download?

Did a privacy mission yesterday and

Spoiler

there was a girl behind closed doors that kept ridiculing herself until she got the strength to commit suicide

like wtf ubi. got damn man. Ubi aint pulling no punches lol

Yeah that's kinda shady

 

[ChapaNDJ]

There's so much to do, that I end up doing none of it. Am I the only one??

It happens sometimes, especially with the Ubisoft titles. I feel completely overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to do that i don't know where to begin with.
Just take your time.

 

[SuperCambot]

I intercepted someone's phone conversation and they were listing famous people and presidents and whether they were Assassins or Templar.

 

[Special C]

Is it just me or is profiling for crimes useless? I get so many remote profiles that I can't keep up witht hem all.

 

[SJRB]

As juvenile as they are, I can't help but chuckle at the roadsign hacks. So random, haha.

I'm constantly amazed at the architecture in this game, Chicaco is a beautiful city. I especially love the Mad Mile, interesting blend of styles everywhere.

 

[Philippo]

Why is everyone driving that crappy red family car?
Show me some cool cars!

 

[names2hard4you]

In a way I may be rushing things because I have little time to play. Game launched at a time that I'm full of college work to do. I will try to do some privacy missions tonight, those sound really cool.

 

[hbkdx12]

Is it just me or is profiling for crimes useless? I get so many remote profiles that I can't keep up witht hem all.

I never actively went profiling for crimes. All the crimes have come remotely or i stumbled across it randomly just walking down the street

I ran across a text for a crime that read along the lines of:

You gotta stop man. You're running with dangerous people

.................I AM dangerous ppl

Yeah Ok...LOL

................Im so dangerous im abt to kill someone right NOW.


I literally laughed out loud at the juvenile nature (capitalization and all) of this text and the idea that the guy at the other end had something to prove lol

 

[Hypemaster]

Yeah I'm just having fun free roaming the city and enjoying it for what it is.

When someone invades you to hack you, will they try to come to you if you initially just ignore them? I had someone hack into my game/etc the other day, I was already on route to do something else, so I ignored them, but they disconnected like 10 seconds later, I assume server error. I did get points for it though.

I'm curious if anything happens if you ignore them. Since sometimes I'm just messing around. I'd hope they try to come to me.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I have to say that as a Polish person it disappoints me that there are no Polish speaking citizens, no Polish stores and I've yet to profile someone with a Polish name.

The population of Chicago is 2.7 million, 1.1 of which are of Polish descent. It has the largest Polish population of any city outside of Poland, yet not a single hint of polish presence in the game.

I think the game initially places them near you. You can run away, but they can still hack you from a distance once they start the hack.

For people who have been tailed - does the game tell you about the tailing, like it does when you've been invaded?

I ran into a random phone conversation where a person was complaining about her Polish landlord, it was pretty funny.

 

[Hypemaster]

I'm not sure if this applies to every one else, but I find the cool fast sports cars to have the most difficult handling when turning and the "family cars" to be more stable.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Is there not a way to take a party into a public decryption match?

The only time I got invaded, other then the initial tutorial, and the guy's initial position was like 500m+, in the same part of the city of course. Though at that time I was in a car, so I'd imagine be harder to start the hack if I'm just driving around.

I don't know, you might want to just indulge a bit in the side stuff, actually quite fun I was running around, doing mission, blowing stuff up, hacking, and then decided to play some....in game chess?? Yep! And it was a great change of pace

 

[Tawpgun]

Hahaha just saw a comment,

"Most unrealistic thing about Watch Dogs is that the weather is clearly autumn but the Cubs are still playing like yeah ok Ubisoft..."

 

[owlbeak]

I'm playing on Realistic Mode, but am only in the first part of the opening sequence in the stadium.

What is the difference in Realistic compared to the other difficulties?

 

[zedge]

I was getting so frustrated losing everytime I was hacked. Just could not find them. Grrr. Well last time I found the fucker before he even hacked me and shot him in the face with a sniper. Eat it!!!

Would really like to try online decryption, will never join a game though.

 

[SJRB]

The ctOS and Dedsec newsflashes get increasingly annoying. The worst is the interview with the major. Why do these things loop? I'm getting pretty tired of hearing about the blackout during the game, that happened weeks ago [ingame time].

"Dedsec, the modern canary in the cole mine" - FUCK OFF!

 

[icespide]

played this via remote play last night and it actually plays pretty well and the button mappings are fine.

perfect game to play while my wife is watching *sigh* so you think you can dance

 

[hbkdx12]

A did a set of the chess stuff yesterday. Was more enjoyable than i would have imagined. Nice change of pace

Curious to know what everyones favorite time killer is so far. For me i just can't get enough of the privacy missions. They've been pretty ace so far

I like stopping crimes too. I like the idea that you actually have to be careful how you approach the situation. A good use of the reputation system would have been the more positive rep you have the more likely that civs will try to help you stop a criminal you're chasing by throwing things at them or getting in their way something to slow them down

 

[Marleyman]

"Dedsec, the modern canary in the cole mine" - FUCK OFF!

The WORST

 

[midasmulligan]

Is it possible to switch which shoulder you're aiming over?

 

[Setsuna]

. . .i never tried which is weird since i usually have to do that in these types of games

 

[Kelsey]

I think the game initially places them near you. You can run away, but they can still hack you from a distance once they start the hack.

The game puts them near you initially to complete a short hack. After that they have about 30 seconds to get as far away from you as possible before they can initiate the transfer.

 

[ComputerMKII]

What is this I don't even

Yeah it came down to the wire for me as well..however, when I was notified the hacker was outed, I thought it meant an npc who I filled with a full clip before noticing the real player was running in the opposite direction..oops, my bad npc, you're next cup of coffee is on me

 

[Screaming Meat]

So what's the consensus, is this any good, GAF? Bear in mind I'd be getting it for 360 and got bored of every Assassin's Creed after roughly 4-5 hours.

 

[sjay1994]

What is this I don't even

My french isn't that great.... but does that say pleasures himself using musical instruments?

 

[Lashley]

I've got to ask.

Since the game is still buggy as hell, why did they delay this for 8 months?

 

[Kelsey]

My french isn't that great.... but does that say pleasures himself using musical instruments?

He's sexually aroused by musical instruments.

 

[midasmulligan]

I might be losing it, cause now when I'm out and about I keep looking for cameras and wondering what the the person next to me is into/what's their salary/what's in their account...lol

 

[ComputerMKII]

My french isn't that great.... but does that say pleasures himself using musical instruments?

Yes

 

[OrangeOak]

Is Chicago really that beautiful in real life?

 

[Lizardus]

Impressions so far:

-Uplay needs to die...hard. There hasn't been a single time where I haven't launched Uplay and it fails to connect until I try two or three times. When I do get Uplay to start, it fails sync my save before starting the game and after I quit and I have to keep trying several times

-Game is pretty and fun but Ubisoft really needs to scale back on the amount of shit that's on the HUD while you have the phone out. It's really overwhelming and cockblocks the scenery

-Driving is okayish but I am sure I'll get used to it

-Evading cops is really hard. I tried to outrun them in a car but couldn't so I ditched the car and went inside a construction zone of some sort to lose their sight but they always kept finding me. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

 

[Hasney]

He's sexually aroused by musical instruments.

Yup, it's in the English version too. I love the distraction conversation with him.

What alway works for me is taking it to the water near a boat. Get on the boat, hide under a bridge and you are good to go.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

I'm playing on Realistic Mode, but am only in the first part of the opening sequence in the stadium.

What is the difference in Realistic compared to the other difficulties?

It uses real world logic a bit more and the suspension of disbelief is reduced.

When you get hit from shots it's only 2-3 before you die. NPCs will snitch on you and call the cops more often.

 

[Kelsey]

What alway works for me is taking it to the water near a boat. Get on the boat, hide under a bridge and you are good to go.

If you use the hacking ability that blinds helicopters for 15 seconds, there's never any threat of getting caught by police once you're in a boat. It made getting the 5 star escape achievement so easy.

 

[ButchCat]

I bought the season pass but I don't see the mobster outfit at my hideout. Is there something I need to download?

We have all been victimized, it's something on Ubisoft's part.
