There's 3 different guys. The one in the Wards in the HipHop club is easy as pie, the one in the loop is quite difficult. The third guy in Pawnee will make you wanna pulverize your goddamn controller.

I don't know how I did it, but I really do feel like a hero now :)

I had awesome tailing mission where guy/girl was passing constantly by me without noticing anything and stupid ShadowPlay broke when i wanted to record it.

Would pay for infinite convoy/gang hideouts.

Nothing quite like creating a barricade with parked cars and then going Desperado on a convoy with a grenade gun.

I kinda feel bad for what I just did to this one guy who was tailing. I'm just wandering about and messing around when I hop off my bike and turn around just in time to see someone in a car slam on the breaks and pull off to the side of the road.

Well, whipped out my destroyer sniper and popped the fella through the windshield. Tail failed at 98%.

Sorry, whoever you were.

Nice! How did you manage a photo with the trophy notification, though? Doesn't it only last a few seconds at best?

Well, playing the PC version so I'm not too worried about Uplay achievements. That being said, I've gotten a few hackers at 0% that way too. I really need to get FRAPs or something for recording, some of my successful and not so successful encounters have been record worthy.

Yes! This is the first game I've played on PS4 where I have the urge to record. So many great moments. I managed to capture some races but didn't think to get any of the invasions at the time.

If you have a Nvidia GPU from the 600 series or up you can use shadowplay. It constantly records up to 20 minutes of gameplay. Whenever you do something cool, just press a button to save the file.

That's how I captured a random moment like this without having to think about HDD space for recording all the time with fraps or something. It's also 60fps, which is great if you want to make a webm like my file.

Right now the game feels like a well executed stealth GTA to me, which isn't a bad thing. The AI has been a big disappointment though. Also the mini games are fun, but it unsettles the tone set by the main story.

With GTA they tie the mini games to the satire, and this while the game has an explanation, is super duper big leap in logic. "Technology makes me feel like I'm on acid, so kill everything as a robot spider."

Still fun, but little things like that are coming to surface.

Damn. I only tried the guy at the Unicorn & Dragon Club in the Wards. Thought it was pretty easy to get to Level 5 and unlock that shotgun. Had no idea I accidentally picked the easiest opponent.

I only need two more songs for the Song Sneak app and I hope that they're given to you automatically like what happens with C.R.E.A.M..

Also, I only need four more convoys and they havent popped up yet. Im in Act 3 so hopefully they show up due to story progression.

Is there any way to get on top of buildings short of lucky car jumps or specific predefined climbing areas? I take it there aren't helicopters that Aiden can use.

I don't understand why a virtual reality game needs a massive leap.

Aiden needs to blow off steam too, and I'd imagine he probably played a fair few video games in his yoof.

Im on a 52 inch LCD not a computer monitor, but I noticed a huge difference. Colors were no longer washed out. I did have to raise the brightness levels on my TV though. Because I do get some crushed blacks.

Convoy missions are basically like the scene in the Dark Knight where the Joker is trying to assault the police convoy... even moreso since it was filmed in Chicago. ... And I love it.

This game is so beautiful. I made a WebM of one of my favourite moments of the game:
http://a.pomf.se/bxosfl.webm
Just to be safe, I made this during Chapter 2 Mission 5 therefore the nice music in the background, which I think only plays during this mission but there are no story/gameplay/location spoilers. Just me walking around :)
I hope the quality is fine. It's my second try on a WebM

Then your TV is not expecting FULL RGB. Make sure it supports it. You shouldn't have to raise the brightness.

lmao at everyone hating the drinking game! I haven't even tried it.
Click to expand...

It'd be ok if it wasn't such a slow mini-game - you have to sit through these interminable lines by the NPC between every drink and it just makes the game just take much longer than it has to (and it makes repeats, which you will have to do on some of the harder levels, a real pain in the ass).

Gotta agree with you guys, FUCK this shit. Lvl 10 at the loop guy is such a goddamn pain in the ass. What the hell where they thinking?

edit: Finally did it. Pawnee and Wards drinking games left... :/
Click to expand...

Pawnee is the hardest one. The difficulty is vamped up considerably.

Prepare to get own by a redneck conspiracy nutcase.

They need to patch it so that its less challenging, and you only need 5 levels of each to get the trophy. Cause 10 of each is BS.

Act II - late mission question:
Is it possible to stealth kill the guys in the car dealership? I was only able to get through that mission by grenading everyone to hell and back (which ended up destroying the purple car). I noticed while respawning that Aiden will show up at the gentleman's club in the purple car though, so I think there might be a more stealthy way to win this mission.

I didn't do it stealthy, but here's what I did.
I noticed early on that any alert causes the dude to jump in his car and flee. So I placed a proximity IED right outside the building where his car travels. Then I just fired a single shot at the building. He flees, explodes, I hack and somehow end up with the destroyed car.

Remember blackout is your friend man. Believe I just blacked the place out, knocked him out/hacked his phone too? then walked back out.

I'm sure it's possible, I tried about 4 times and couldn't pull it off however. The closest I got was using the Spec Ops Goblin + focus to kill the guards on one side of the show room, but I still got spotted causing the guy to jump in the car and flee.

Finally I just laid a proximity IED in the path of the car when he tries to flee and fired a few rounds through the window to make him flee and blow himself up.

Man. I didn't have blackout at the time. Now I know what I'm going to do for my second story play through.

Ooh, that's good! I keep on forgetting I can use black out. Question though - if
you go in non-lethally, I assume the cutscenes and the rest of the game still considers Aiden as having killed the enemies in the car dealership, right?

My Tv does not support it, but everything looks so much better with it set to full. Except that I do get crushed blacks.

Should I set it to limited and concentrate on correct calibration under those settings so the color pops more, and they don't wash out?
