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

Ammo is so readily available in this game from killed enemies. I never have to go refill and I use a ton of different guns to get things done. Money too. I purchased all clothes, all guns, and all of the cars that I could and I still have about $700,000 lol. This includes buying a car that was worth $200,000 among the other expensive cars.

I'm pretty sure The Division is running on a different engine, but yeah. I really love how grounded the shooting feels while still being fast and dynamic.
Is it really different though? I know that supposedly Blacklist, Black Flag and Watch_Dogs all run on different engines but I see so much similarities between these games. I am not buying it.
Yes, it's a different engine. They share features, because Ubisoft wants their games to do that for some reason.
Haha same story for me. It's crazy how easily this game can distract you. Having a lot of fun with it
Mine does, although I never noticed since Steam Streaming makes it full screen on the remote computer anyway.
So I was doing some hacking earlier when the game glitched and put me in some guys world where I couldn't actually start the hack. I followed him around for almost an hour, messing with him by hacking shit. Don't think he could see me like I saw him, because it took a really long time before he figured out where I was.
Made a short video from the last 15 minutes where we finally bonded and started killing cops together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7uB4LCI8CM

Sort of made a music video out of some of the clips I had saved before my save file got corrupted =(
I hope it doesn't take long to patch the game. I'm itching to get back into it so bad.

I paid $25 for it lol. It's annoying, but I can wait a few extra days until they work it out.

these criminal activity missions are getting boring. is it really just, locate perp, wait til they assault someone, and then beat them up or is there some more variety later on?

Shooting feels better then Gta V imo idk why maybe it's cause of the locked framerate? The sound design on the guns are also much better

Yup lol, it was great, I have like an hour of me in his game on twitch, the first time I went into the store and he flipped out. I tried to get him to work with me, but he just kept trying to run me over and stuff, the first video is me screwing with him after he refused to do anything but run and try to kill me.

There's some good ones and some bad ones. Criminal convoy I want nothing to do with but some of the investigations lead to good stuff in the end and the fixer jobs are good distractions when you want a break from the story missions.

This post brought happiness. Dat video, dat learning to accept facts and working together.

Yes. It's called "system key" or something like that.
The other resource you need for blackouts, you can buy it in a shop (it's called "electronic components").

I´m having similar problems solving the "mass murder" case. I found 3 or 4 bodies, but no more are showing up on the map now.
Is this stuff tied to main mission progress?

It is literally a brand new engine called Snowdrop which is being made by Massive Entertainment, who are also developing the Division. Have faith in Massive. They have always done right before - Ground Control and World in Conflict were both well ahead of their time.
Also after playing 23 hours of WD and STILL on Act 1, i am still loving this game. I am just getting so distracted by the online and the side missions. Love the variety and sheer amount of things to do in this open world.

It took a lot of time for me to get used to the overall feel of the physics. It also took some time before I learned which cars control good and which control like garbage, the difference between cars is pretty substantial, far more than in GTA games.

Didn't realise it but WD uses physically based rendering.

They've sort of managed to make these city hotspots actually feel kinda busy. Lots of people engaged in all their little animations, sitting on the benches, sitting on the grass and fountains, people jogging, people playing guitars and drums, people taking pictures, all the conversations, etc. Your interaction with them is fairly limited so it doesn't exactly blow my mind, but it's a cool visual every once in a while.

When I try to continue my game the loading bar stops at around 80%. The icon is still animated so it hasn't crashed, but even waiting for several minutes does nothing.
Restarting my PC, switching from Uplay-Online to Offline mode, disabling cloudsaving etc. does not help too.
So I searched the almighty web and guess what: I am not the only person with that problem, it even seems to be platform unspecific. PS4, XONE, PC ... It is just a 'normal' game breaking bug!
I am so pissed right now, after delaying the game, after the blablabla about taking their time to make the perfect game they oversee a game breaking bug like that.
AHHHHH I could scream.
That is the very last time I am buying a game directly on release.
No... probably it's not but I am still a bit frustrated. *sigh*

That's a sick coat, what outfit is that? I love that it still has the default hat, the squared ones [like the Nemesis outfit] are terrible.

Sorry, I don't remember and am no longer at the console :X I'll get back to you later if no one can answer before then.
But yeah, I like how it looks under lights

Top-notch. I may seem biased because avatar.jpg and all, but it really is leagues better than typical Ubisoft side content found in AC and Far Cry.
There's tons of stuff to do outside the campaign:
- Randomly generated potential crimes;
- Fixer missions [steal a car and escape the police];
- Convoy missions [take out a target in a convoy any way you want];
- Minigames [chess/cups/drinking/poker];
- AR games [all kinds of augmented reality games];
- Several multi-tiered investigation missions;
- QR code search;
- ctOS hack races;
- ctOS privacy invasion hacking;
- HUGE online component [tailing/hacking/racing/DM/TDM]
And some other stuff I'm probably forgetting. It may seem overwhelming, but it results in an extremely varied offer of stuff to do, it's never "in your face" but never a dull moment either. Ultimately, none of it is obligatory and the game doesn't punish you for not doing any of it.

Looks really nice.Not sure this is a vanilla coat tho,maybe from the editions.
Well good day again Watch_Doge Gaf. I've been trying again to get rid of the damn bug by playing the game offline and reinstalling it again and again and playing it over and over but it's just not gonna happen. I decided to record it this time around for everyone to see where the bug sets in. I'm just gonna contact several Ubi customer services to see what they can do about this. They can't just sell you a product that doesn't work. Looking back at it I really wished I bought a physical copy in a store so I could have returned it and get my money back. And despite my frustrations the past two days I still badly want to play this game.

More than enough variety and not boring
Appreciate the feedback folks, looks like I am about to go and gett this.
But if I may ask, are there any kind of quests that have mini storylines, a la GTAV strangers and freaks missions?
Are you playing this on keyboard and mouse or pad? Have you tried different keyboards or pads?

PS4 version here. The game 'froze' for about 3 seconds and I get the odd pause whenever I finish a mission.

That's normal. It's just loading.
Just wanted to quote this for a new page and to stop it getting buried. I'd suggest OP add it to the OT as well as this works 100%.

The division is running on a brand new engine called snowdrop, which sounds like a ripoff of frostbite.

Too lazy to type it again, this is the video description
Try disconnecting the controllers, and making sure that if they're running any programs that change their keybindings to turn those off too. Like the DS4 xinput emulator.
smh. does the game do this for any other religious group? Just state their religion like that?
