Cars can be fun, but some races are a chop fest.
Bikes handle bad in the races and I was crashing into thin air.
10 races done, never again.

The average decryption match seems to take far too long. By 10 minutes in it starts to draaaag
I think I might like getting invaded even more than invading. It's lots of fun baiting invaders.
Try the
out. That's quite a thing. I only wish it was more difficult.
Try the

Finally got a call from the shop I preordered my PS4, they had one in store! Only thing was: it came bundled with Watch Dogs.
Wasn't planning on buying Watch Dogs, but not wanting to wait another couple of months for a PS4, I got the bundle.
And I have to say: I'm enjoying the shit out of this game! City has a great vibe to it and looks amazing, the shooting is good and online hacking is really fun. And man, remote playing it on my Vita is sooooo cool.

Done 2 hacking missions today and I failed both due to the game.
The first time I got dropped in on a motorbike right infront of the guy, he seen it, profiled me and killed me all within 10 seconds.
Second time I got dropped in on foot and the guy ran around the corner and spotted me within 5 seconds. I did nearly get away though.... until he pulled out a grenade launcher.
Really frustrating.

Been playing this over the weekend.
It's better than GTA (or at least GTA4 - haven't played 5).
Main missions have so far been fun, side missions are also fun, those crime in progress missions are fun, online parts are fun. The stealth aspect is brilliant. Makes me wish they made a new tenchu - maybe ubisoft should release a poison rice dlc

Goty. You heard it here first.

I did the 10 races maybe the second day the game was out and I had already basically mastered driving from doing hotspots and fixer missions. Over half the people I raced again didn't finish the race. Once was taken out by steam and got back to get second by just a hair.
No, not yet. I just know some jerk is going to hack me or cyber molest me when I am trying to take screenshots.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Imo, the decryption matches would be so much better and much more intense if the red area on the map got larger over time. Meaning that players would have less and less space to run/drive around in as the match goes on. That and a shorter timer would lead to a much better mode. Because as it is it's not very exciting to do.
I'll try that next! So far, I only tried Madness and Alone.
The news reports.
I realize that. But I thought I was all stealth on the first mission.
Now the po-po and everyone knows me.
Checking my stats, I have only been tailed 2 times.
If I profile them before they even tail me does that count?
Since I know the signs of being invaded I often find and kill them before they can do anything.
Anyone know exactly how notoriety won/lost works? When you invade someone it gives you numbers for what you stand to "potentially" win or lose, but how does it come to a final conclusion on that? It doesn't seem to be based on the strength of the opponent's current defensive strength rating, as there have been times when I've successfully invaded a person with a very high defensive rating and gotten a little amount of notoriety.
There have also been times when I've gained a notable amount of notoriety from a player who had relatively little after looking at their profile, so I'm not sure exactly what governs it.
What's your reputation look like?

Almost all blue. It's always been very high.
And the notoriety system does feel wonky at times.
Wondering when the Signature, Breakthrough and Palace will be available for Season Pass owners too.
Wow..I just watched a NPC walk away from a car, turn around a grab a drink off the roof of the car like they forgot it.
It is, I've done it
Tailing achievement is broken.
I can confirm that if you profile the person tailing you, it doesn't count towards the achievement.
Don't look for anyone while you know someone is in your game until they invade you or complete a tailing mission.
Wish the achievement was something along the lines of kill someone tailing you.
That I have probably done about 5 times.

OK, my aim just sucks then.

Had my first few invasions today with pretty good success, first one I hid in a dumpster , second one I used blackouts a lot and distractions whilst hiding in a car, and third one the guy was in one of those container cranes surrounded by police, don't think he even realised I was hacking, either that or the police kept him at bay, awesome fun
Turned on my Slow Mo, saw that it wasn't working and realized I was being invaded. Luckily I was by the water and there was a boat just sitting there. I sailed out far enough so the guy wouldn't be able to profile me from land and waited for him to do something. There was another boat near the one I took so I assumed he would take it but about 30 seconds later I saw someone in the distance swimming towards me.
Halfway to my boat he just disappeared XD. Poor bastard probably ran out of time.

It isn't broken. You're supposed to get successfully tailed 5 times because reasons

I love the paranoia invasions bring, often it will see a random car accident , initially I thought it was just cool random ai, but they could have very well been tailing me , last night I was doing a random cots unlock and then I saw an ai running, chased after him quick smart.
I initially thought invasions, tailing would be a gimmick but they really are cool.

Yeah, they're really hard to hit. The Destroyer makes quick work of them though!
Dubai would be awful. They should put it in Paris or London.
I'm sure there's some rhyme and reason to it but I can't tell what that is at this point.

if you are out of sight, park and hide.
I'm a bit worried. I go to bed and watch your stream, and I wake up with my morning coffee and watch your stream.
Same for Xbox?

London would be perfect! Large river running through the city, plenty of bridges, Heathrow airport, hack the Queen. Make. It. Happen Ubi!
I need a Watch_Dogs intervention....
Random crime I assume? Purse snatchers and such pop up every once in a while.

Doing tailing contracts to try and have people tail me.
The red dot civilian was just strolling around and there was no indication of anything afoul.
And tailing or hacking sometimes sets you up for failure. Like putting you on a bike right next to them. NPCs can't ride bikes, so the person killed me as soon as I spawned.
Letting people tail me just for the achievement feels so wrong.
If you want to mess with people tailing you, hide from them.
They have to regain sight of you and will out themselves.
The game spawned me near a barn that had a missing person inside. Hope that is just collectable and not going to mess the story up.

Of course. It's cool and hilarious. I wouldn't have gotten an awesome clip like this if it weren't for focus. The way he says "B**** you wanna die?" in slow-mo made me laugh as I watched him run towards something I could trigger to explode. I always use it when chasing someone or planning something out.
Fuck, I never knew about this trophy. Never looked at the hidden ones. How do I know if I've been tailed successfully?
Oh hey, I think I was on your stream a few hours ago but I don't remember what happened. Is it archived on Twitch? PSN name is Kheesz.

I'm really enjoying it. I was on the fence before launch.
I mean, I was always gonna play it, but was worried it was gonna be a waste of money.
I'm so glad if got it day one, there is sooooo much to do. I have played for about 10 hours but haven't done much story. I have mainly went around doing all the side activities which are all awesome.
And I love invading and being invaded.
Finally I would add I don't get all the hate for the visuals. Yeah it doesn't match 2012 but in every thread people say it looks bad on all systems. I just don't understand. I think it looks good. I even enjoy the "flat" lighting during the day time, I think it looks realistic.

Is there a way to check how many times you've been tailed ?
Not hit or miss, all miss. The city isn't densely packed enough for a open world game IMO. I think it would be very boring unless some artificial stuff was put in.

Gahhhh. I'm sorry if this was settled since I last posted about it, but I was just tailed. The game notified only me after I tried to start a story mission. So, no, as far as I can tell there is no way of knowing if you're being tailed unless a) the invader gives themselves away or b) you're locked out of missions. I was able to capture the last 30 seconds of it. Will upload shortly.
While I'm on the subject, is the "last 15 minutes" thing on PS4 still not working properly? Would make life a lot easier.

You'd see the normal end-of match result screen, if you mean if you could see how many times you've been tailed......
Nope. You have to keep a tally yourself.
