I'm about to finish Act 3. The story isn't mindblowing but it's alright.

Driving finally clicked with me last night and I gotta say I love it. I can rip through traffic with a car now. Gotta say this game is up there with red dead redemption for my favorite open world game. Good job ubi soft.

This app, though awesome in theory, is worthless at this point. I haven't found one quick match, and it looks like it doesn't import your friends list but you have to add them one by one? Wish this thing worked but no luck so far

I agree about the world not feeling as...umm...authentic, but I always know I'm playing a game, so the whole 'let's spend loads of money/time trying to make it feel real and immersive' is kinda lost on me at some point, anyway. The interaction level with the environment and its people is a much more convincing place to put effort into immersiveness or whatever and that's something no open world game that I've played has done well yet. I didn't see much to get into with free roam mode in WD (or GTA 5) from what I played, but the structured play with Online Decryption and its mashup of capture the flag and keep away coupled with the relatively fast district/map loads between sessions made it a lot more enjoyable than anything I experienced in GTA 5 online, but I also stopped playing it back in December or so. I'm hoping that if next-gen GTA 5 happens, they can address its weaknesses with included first major DLC or a major revision to its MP modes in the package to start. GTA 5 is definitely a step ahead in single player from what I played, though WD has some fun AR game diversions. Solid game, despite my misgivings, though it is highly fucking derivative for a 'new' IP.
You can't see the sweet celtic pattern on the back though.

Heard a lot of talk about aiden being a terrible protagonist, but I'm loving the overall feel of his character. I suggest finding all the audio logs and really trying to dig into the backstory. This is the kind of game you don't want to rush through.

After playing this game for a couple days, I have to say I'm having a lot of fun.
I honestly don't get all the hate it receives.
The driving was bad at first, but if you participate in a couple of online races, you get the hang of it really quickly.
Gunfights are awesome. If you play them like a simple cover shooter, you might not be that impressed. However, if you use all the hacking tools in your arsenal, and move around/over obstacles efficiently, it makes you feel like a total badass.
The city actually feels like a city, as opposed to a giant playground like in GTA games. If you rush from point a to b, you might miss it, but if you take the time to walk the streets and look around, you'll find that the NPCs behavior is a lot more varied and lifelike than other open world titles. People engaging in random conversations, arguing, scumbags harassing girls, tourists taking pictures, and people doing things as mundane as kneeling down and looking at flowers. One time I was walking through an alleyway, and there were people partying on a balcony. On the street, there were two guys talking shit, and throwing stuff at the party goers as if they had just gotten kicked out of the party or something.
Online play is also surprisingly well done. I thought having people invade your game was going to be annoying at first, but every time it happens I get genuinely excited. Also, the tension felt while trying not to be discovered by your target while you're the one hacking is something I've never experienced in a game before.
If you ignore all the negativity that surrounded this game pre-launch, and go in with an open mind without trying to compare it to GTA, it can be a really great experience. Also, try not to rush through all the main missions, as I feel like you're going to miss a lot of what this game has to offer by doing so.

What are the duffel bags I'm seeing after getting rid of the gangsters / mobs and why can't I pick then up? It says full?

Wait, so you can be an even bigger troll if you do this? Oh boy, I bet griefers are excited to kill others' saves. The real hacking begins now.
Materials to make bombs etc. It's full because you're carrying the max amount of materials already.

Damn that last round of the Cups game. Finally got the bastard though. Now to do the drinking game. I hear I'm going to pull my hair out.
Got my first Tailing finally. :lol Took DAYS. For some reason today I've been getting hacked all over the shop as well. Wonder why it's taken this long to finally get this stuff done on my end.
4 more tails and I'll have that stupid ass Trophy out of the way. Luck-based Trophies should never be incorporated in games.

Aside from the graphical downgrade I'm enjoying the game. One side mission I had to destroy a convoy so I waited by the bridge it was going to cross and put the bridge up. Got out of the car I was hiding in with my assault rifle and shot them all up while they were stuck I'm traffic. Felt really good executing my on the fly plan. If the game can deliver moments like that somewhat constantly I'll be happy. Guns sound nice too.
Well hello there sunshine.
I bought a little expansion pack with some new suits. This twenties mobster suit is badass.
you mean the season pass? i want that suit so bad!

I don't think that tailing or hacking is completely luck-based.

Same here.. Locking the maximum Focus upgrade behind 10 chess puzzle game victories is kind of a dick move, haha.

This is my first webm and I could use some pointers. The filesize is hella tiny which is impressive but it massacred the quality...
hmm, also can't get it to show up embedded in chrome.
edit: therrre we go

To unlock all gang hideouts and criminal convoys do you just hack people?
Nah, there's some sale going on at G2A. For 1,35$ I bought the Watch Dogs bonus packs: Club Justice pack, Cyberpunk Pack and Untouchables pack are in it. So a few outfits and extra guns basically.
They also have the breaktrough DLC for the same price. That's on PC.
I think when you get the ctos tower for a district they show up on the map?
yeeep of course.

So, I have to restart to get the new trip and DLC gear? It didn't appear in my game last night.

Fuck yeah I do..! Try it when it rains, it'll blow your mind.
Also pretty crucial skill when you're outnumbered 10 to 1.
I love the effect on music as well, especially coming out of it
All the time. For headshots, for when I'm overwhelmed, for sniping assholes out of their cars, to kill moving cars with the Destroyer, etc. It just feels good.
There was this story mission where you had to chase some escaping fool in a car at the end. Only vehicle around was a motorcycle and Aiden went like 'aww, i only got dis bike' and I went NOPE and just used focus to headshot the guy out of his car with my sniper rifle.
So good.

lolI NEED ITDick move...but so apropos
All the time to check if I'm being invaded or tailed.
Always when driving to easily take down cops and bad guys. Also I use it all the time just walking around because if the pedestrians don't slow down when I hit it, I know I'm being profiled.

This "Traced" trophy is going to be the death of me.
I've reset my score like four times and only had one hacking and one tailing - which I accidently found the target from.

It's actually really, really easy. I'm terrible at chess but did them all first time. It helps that it tells you where the pieces can move.

I enjoyed causing traffic jams playing with the lights before. Then I started to pay attention : Most the cars gun it the second the light turns green making most of the accidents very avoidable. It looks great but its really fake.
The more I play this game the more I realize it has far more flaws then it should.
(Is it just me or is every firetruck number 41?)

Jeez, I hate the new face with passion. Aiden looks completely badass from the back, but the moment you see his round face with full cheeks and round vacant eyes, you know he just can't possibly be the stone cold vigilante he's supposed to be in the game. He's just veeeery plain. Like 70 IQ plain.

Testing visibility of a dummy FB hack repel
Nobody on my friends list can see the screenshots/videos I share to the dummy FB account even though it's set public in all three places.

If it isn't already go to Apps and set PSN to public too.

That was the one thing I thought I was missing, but it's set public there as well as on the PS4 and privacy on facebook itself. It's driving me crazy.
As if the Nemesis costume wasn't the best of them all, I realized while checking out other costumes that his hair also looks shaven and very neat when using the Nemesis and other costumes with the same style of hat, whereas 99% of the other costumes have Aiden with his scraggy default hair.
