Can anyone confirm whether or not you lose your np if you turn off invasions? I don't care about whether the online unlock perks deactive, but resetting np to zero is annoying.

Her or even better, Jordi. Too bad the dlc is about T-Douche
People said the same thing about the original AC and Altair.
Then AC2 and Ezio happened.
With watch dogs all they need to do is let you be Jordi, and put the game in the other location they looked at... Dubai.
An open world Dubai would be rad as fuck.

So this happened to me today! Cracked me up! My car was stuck after that.

Heh, something like this happened once to an invader I was chasing. I just kind of sat there for a while laughing, then blew him up with the grenade launcher.

Wow, this game is utter crap on PC because the controls are so bad. Driving is absolutely terrible. Reminds me of how GTA4 relies on analog triggers for gas, and it definitely didn't work.
Aiming with the gun is also horrid as there's this painful lagging between where I'm pointing and the gun aim.

Dubai would be a hit or miss.
They have really cool looking modern architecture, but I heard that hardly anyone walks around outside during the day because it gets ridiculously hot.
People are complaining that the game feels empty now (something I totally disagree with). Can you imagine all the complaints if it was set in Dubai?

That guy in the green jacket of the first clip is a real weirdo.
This game is so full of stupid shit, its starting to annoy me.

So with the random crimes where you observe and wait for the moment to intervene have all ended up in foot chases so far. Has anyone had one of them turn into a car chase?
I had one dude call for back up, but I blasted his bitch ass before he could finish the call lol.
Not using ingame vsync are you?
Playing since last Friday, haven't gotten tired of it. All cons (physics, lack of AI, and driving mechanics take the cake) aside, it's a fun game, IMO.

Online hacking is surprisingly fun.. My palms get sweaty when I'm hiding and they're close lol

in one of the hideouts, you get to hack into leaked data sent from house hold devices with hidden or activated cameras.. I stumbled upon a game system camera called "Kinekt" recording some kid playing video games and raging like crazy. Made me cover my Kinect.. Lol.. But thankfully playing this on my PS4

So I just finished the campaign and I gotta say, I wasn't at all impressed with the story. Ubisoft could have come up with a better story about trying to uncover some underground criminal world, but instead went with a cliché family tragedy formula.
The gameplay and mechanics were my favorite part, using the camera to scope out an area to plan your movements felt new and fresh, the gun play was better than I expected, it could have broken the game if the shooting wasn't well done.
Now, I'm sure I can't be the only one, but the driving was rally bad, in a game where it depended so much on driving to move around, it could have been better.
Also, at the very end when you are given the option to
Overall, great game and I truly enjoyed it, 9/10 for me.

kill or spare Maurice was really unexpected, I was really torn which to choose, because he was the one who the car causing Lena's death, but he was forced into it, thru the recordings on the burner phones, I sympathized for him, in the end, I let him live. Couldn't justify killing him, he was trapped.

I wish the game had GRAW-style hackable drones that you could fly around and survey or fight with (unless these are actually in the game later or something.) Maybe in the sequel?
Also count me in on wishing you could play as Clara. I know they were trying to go for some kind of neo-noir thing by setting this in Chicago (ground zero for Depression-era gangster shit) and having Aidan skulk around talking like he came out of a Republic serial, but I'd rather be wrecking shit from an apartment with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo...
Blending in/NPC behavior is only useful in below 25%, and sometimes only before you even initiate the hack.

Coolman93, if you are reading this
Why did you peel off after only hacking up to 5%? I had no idea where you were.

Yeah, one dude ran off and grabbed a truck and I had to get in a car to go after him. Eventually I managed to block him off so I could shoot him.
Damn. Dubai??? That would be amazing.
I've been doing a method where after I hack someone I start running to the edge of the blue circle or go as far as the red area allows. After that I initiate the backdoor and the blue circle expands a little. Then I head to the edge of the blue circle again and find a spot to hide. I've successfully hacked 8 times in a row using this technique against weak to very strong defenders.
Just finished the game half an hour ago. Was watching the credits and it soft locked on me.
I thought something was up when the credit text ended before all the news videos finished showing. Figured maybe I only got half the credits 'cause they decided not to show me the localization credits. But no, it just borked and didn't do anything.
Good game. I liked the sneaking, hacking, shooting and story. The driving was especially shit in the last mission. But still a good game. 8/10, would buy the sequel.

I've had it happen a few times but its pretty rare and usually after i been chasing them for a lil bit

Latest hack. I had nowhere to hide to initiate but the guy I was hacking was clueless.

lmao.
lol, talk about a close call, even though I've done some pretty dumb things myself, like leaving the game un-paused for about 20 minutes, came back and was 93% hacked.

I completely agree. It's deathmatch with a ball that only really counts if you're holding it when it ticks to 100%.
I will never launch a decryption match. I have zero interest in this multiplayer mode.
I kinda like the main character actually. Only barely in mid Act 2 so far, but I like his personality or so. I find him much better than ACIII protag.. Though I've prob spent like 20 hours so far and mostly in hacking/messing around, so my memory of what the MC is like is kinda foggy when I spend so much time doing other things. heh
Not PS+ for PS4?
The side missions are really fun, but the intro video for each-and-every-single-one is really unnecessary. Honestly that video has held me back from doing side missions for the most part. It's probably used to hide loading screens, but I'd honestly rather have loading screens after a certain point

I can't tail people for shit.
Wow, fuck tailing people.
Wow, fuck tailing people.
OMG! That is too funny. I love how even when standing next to you and using the cameras that can easily be pointed towards you, he still misses you!
Every single time I finish a story mission it has someone invade me. So I just keep hitting focus until it doesnt slow time and then I take off in my car really fast. I go a pretty good distance and then get out of my car and listen for the sound of an engine approaching and then hit it with a semi-automatic grenade launcher.
I'm the opposite. I can't hack for shit, but I've never failed a tail.
It's the same when I'm invaded. I can't find a hacker in a tiny area, but I can spot a tail from a mile away.

I'm quite good at hacking, but tailing. I always get caught or they get too far from me.
My Notoriety is going down the shitter.
Its not needed for the online.
Racing in general is a major fail unfortunately.
