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.

I just turned off my laptop and turned it back on to make sure the software for my controller wasn't active at all when I tried it with keyboard + mouse. So I was sure my controllers couldn't interrupt.

Is it just me or is the matchmaking in this game atrocious? Seems like every time I queue up for any sort of online match it expires....

So on Reddit I've seen some really nice outfits, first is a very light gray with I think the Blume logo across the back in white. Other is a dark one with a fedora. Last is all black with looks to be engraving of some emblem or design.

Does anyone know how you obtain these? Season pass, CE's?

So how the hell do I get invaded? Hacked a few Blume phones and had a bounty put on my head...then just ran around doing side missions and nothing, queuing for 1v1 always puts me as the hacker. Outside of what I think were mandatory story invasions, I don't think I've been invaded once yet.

smh. does the game do this for any other religious group? Just state their religion like that?

Actually, yeah it does. I've run into far more "Fundamentalist Christian" than "Muslim" when profiling.

And they're usually accompanied with making out with members of the same sex, "Online Purchases: Porn" and "Recent Online Searches: Rape".

That being said, I'm Christian and it doesn't bother me, but to each their own!

What happens if you don't do the fixer missions? I had loads pop up yesterday and didn't do some as I just wanted to take in the views, do you miss the opportunity for them?

One was a convoy mission, or do they just get given out again at a later point?

It just...sort of happens. I've never done anything to trigger it and have been hacked/tailed a few times. Not sure if something increases the incidences.

I'm trying to get to one of the vulnerable CTOS towers in Brandon Docks and I can't seem to reach it. There's a large carrier that I can raise and lower but Aiden won't jump off it, he just falls. Any help? Been stuck on it for half an hour.

How is the image quality on PS4? Is the drop to 900p quite significant as opposed to 1080p? I decided to buy the game, I just dont know whether it is going to be PC or PS4.

PS: I prefer playing games on my console and TV combo, but if the image quality takes a significant hit then I go PC.

So how is the IQ on PS4? Is it stil crisp?

It's definitely noticeable but it's tolerable.

Yes, it looks and runs great. I have a badass PC and opted for the PS4 version, no regrets.

Small info for PC GAF regarding MP problems. After i have done following my MP is working now.

- If you are using Win8/Win8.1 set watch_dogs.exe and UPlay.exe to Win7 compatibility mode.
- Set static IP address for your PC if you are using router and you have not done that before. You can find instructions here
- Forward ports that you can find here
- Check if you can see your router icon/name under Network (You can find Network tab when you go to My Computer/Computer and on the left side there is Network shortcut). If you can see i your router there go and right click on icon/Properties. In new window that pooped up you can see Settings button, click on it. And in new window that opened add all ports listed above.

After i have done all of that MP started working for me. In 20 minutes i have been hacked and i have invade 3 players.

Fucking Ubi. My PC is in the DMZ anyway but I find it hard to invade other people, always times out so I might try the compatibility and static IP.

I must say that atmosphere in Chicago is absolutely amazing. Just go and walk, visit different regions at different ToD and different weather. It is absolutely incredible Open World.

Bottom left is the Mobster outfit, came with the season pass. Was the white one PS4 exclusive? Not sure about the bottom right though.

Took me a while to figure it out, there is a small car right behind it. Drive it into the carrier then raise it. Drive off, breaking through the fence. Profit.

I think I know the one. Spent a lot of time with that one. I distinctly remember the revelation when I'm standing on top of the carrier looking around aimlessly when I just kind of stared at my car sitting right there. I let out an audible, "Oh, holy shit".

pull your car in the carrier, raise it, crash through fence

I found that one without going for the tower
My natural instinct to destroy everything made me wonder if I could get a car up there to smash it up

Oh holy shit. I tried putting it under and jumping off. That's awesome.
 
Haha, dang, you guys are having some amazing luck. I get spotted from a mile away. One guy shot into the crowd and scared all the NPCs, lol. And *whoa* at that jamming feature. Didn't realize we could use that online.
I didn't realize we could use jamming online either. It lasted a really long time too. I was freaking out but pulled it off.

I think the game is growing on me. I didn't follow much of the pre-release hype, just noticed it seemed to be the next "big" PS4 game coming out. I don't expect mind-blowing experiences this early on in a console's life, but WD is a fun distraction. It's no GTA, but I feel like it differentiates itself enough and the mini-games haven't become tiresome. I think my biggest gripe is the cars/driving. I wish the music functionality was implemented better as well.

Man, walked right by this in Costco yesterday... they're selling it for $49. Didn't get it.

I should... but I have so much other unplayed shit lying around.

So Aiden
breaks into a prison, gunning down like 10 "crooked" cops, then scares a witness into not talking....why not just kill the witness like everyone else he just gunned down?
. Aidens morales swing wildly between cutscene and gameplay lol

The mission also felt incredibly flat for a
breaking out of prison
level, should have been saved for later in the game on a more epic and large scale, because as it stands I was in and out in 20 minutes. Story still hasn't gripped me at all yet.

Aiden is a badass, nuff said. The way he manipulates people is so unlike so many typical video game protagonists.
 
I thought this game looked like shit(gameplay wise not graphics, don't give a shits about them). I was wrong. Just like I was with ryse. From now on any game that I think looks boring as shit I am picking up. I am having a blast in this game.
 
Taking silently target in gang hideout at night with use of blackout and then leaving the area unnoticed can feel really badass.

Attempting a gang hideout the moment the game opens up - the most hardcore experience I've ever felt. More "Prepare to Die" than the whole Souls series.

Yeah I almost didn't get this game or give it a chance after the downgrade/delay. But I'm glad I decided to give it a chance, because it really is one of the better games I've played in a while.
