Yep. People expecting GTA driving (like me and reviewers) were shocked but after a bit you appreciate the precision and speed with which you can drive and still feel cool

So it does nothing to your single-player experience short of potentially getting killed?
You can't do any SP missions with a friend and you can't hack/tail a friend, not sure about decryption
I think a few of the unlocks are useful in singleplayer and it's like... negative progress toward those. Nothing major.

Depends on which aspect makes you think about it. It's a great game and I enjoy it just as much as GTA V.

If you're downloading on the PSN, it will download the first 3.5 GB in order for you to play the first mission. Once that's done, it will download the remaining 16 GB so you can play the rest of the game.
If you're downloading on the PC, it will depend entirely on your internet connection, but I would wait until Ubisoft has their online working properly because of issues users are having.
The only MP unlock that's really any useful in SP is the one that increases the duration of Jam Coms, and you can easily get by without it. Boost to vehicle damage through guns isn't too meaningful when you have grenade launchers and other explosives, and all of the other unlocks are multiplayer-specific.
If marketing released this it'd probably be called a bullshot. It has the feel of one.
Keep releasing your videos! One day I need to go back through and collect all of them. I'm with you walking the city is great.

Yeah, staying on the edge of the hacking zone is always a good way to start. You can also climb on the top of a train station. Works every time. And dont forget to use your thrid person view to your advantage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy7LQ2RojhA

Do you guys think that there will only be a single save file throughout the lifetime of this title, will multiple save files be patched in, or will multiple save files be a feature in Watch_Dogs 2? :V
Seriously, I don't want to delete my save file every time I want to replay the campaign. ;__;

What do you guys think are the best tactics for FINDING invaders? Always use cameras?

How are people getting all these outfits? DLC? Pre order? Unlock in game?
A few from pre-order and season pass I think. There's a boat load to buy in the clothing store in game.

I wish I did not have get into shootouts - same way I felt with Mirror's Edge
Hacking cameras can be useful, but probably the single best thing you can do is to keep constant track of what's behind you, especially if you're being tailed.
Moving forward while keeping the camera behind you can be an effective way of spotting people if they don't think you can see them. If you aim your gun while looking behind yourself, you'll do an instantaneous 180 and can blast whoever might be there.

It's pissing me off that I've yet to find it, as well as a few others I want. With my luck i'll get them near the end of the game when I'll have no use for them.
Yeah easily one of my favorite parts of the campaign. Along with IED the hell out of everyone that came in lol
It happens in the story. You can't miss it. SO GOOOOOD
Edit: it unlocks on your playlist after that mission! Yesssss
Cameras, check your roofs, use jam comms after 75%, check dark corners
I wish you could replay missions
Reposting a video I posted some 10 pages ago. It's from the PS4, just strolling through the city slowly, taking in all the atmosphere.

Not nearly the quality of the PC version, but still impressive imo.

My man!
The fact that you can stream and multitask on GAF at the same time is amazing. I never notice when you are on GAF while you stream. I swear you have a team of people streaming and posting on GAF!

Love how when you're approaching an enemy facility/base you can walk towards it with your hands in pockets then all of a sudden start shooting up the place Spike Spiegal style
Edit,
-Got it sorted. Had to go back to the garage where the mission started, found it by luck driving around, no indication on the map at all.-
This fucking game.. i think its just bugged out on me and i have to do an entire restart ?
I was just doing a Gang Hideout mission(no parking), after killing my way to the target he flee's and gets away after a long chase. i fail the mission and the game loads me into the city again, but with the gang hideout mission still active with mission objective "knock down the target" ? but there is no target on the map, i cant save or do anything and if i leave a small radius of the section of the city im in, i get a countdown time to return to the area (which has no target in it) is there any way to quit the current mission ?? or is my save fucked ?

If you guys missed it or want to rewatch it, here is the part where Gaz starts to toy with his invader once he finds him. Absolutely hilarious part of the stream!

I used focus to determine that I had an invader and then jumped in the lake and swam all the way out to the tiny island with the lighthouse on it. Gotta give it up to the guy, he followed me the whole way and then ate a grenade in the face when he made it to land. That lighthouse was making spooky sounds.

In my game, Aiden Pearce started vigorously humping a house to celebrate an online hacking win. Very strange.
Luckily, I was able to record it:

Glorious surprise.
I started the mission before I read your comment and throughout the whole thing I kept trying to use the app to get the song but it wasn't working. Being sneaky I made it into the car it was playing from and used it in there and it still wouldn't recognize the song. I wasn't happy.
Finished the mission, came here, seen your comment and all was well.
Bridges and I assume comms. I don't use comms, but bridges work for me. PEACE.
Yeah, I'm at the end of act 2, and I just don't care about anything that is happening.
Aiden is probably the most boring protagonist of the year, so far.
