anyone know how long between drinking games do you have to wait?

I think they could've made the game entirely about the plot of Act II
Lol idk man, been playing a week before release and I still hate it. I literally miss every alley shortcut because the physics and turning is just completely fucked. Driving is my biggest con with this otherwise brilliant game IMO. I consider myself a pretty good driver in open world games.
But you're right about the motorcycle, it's the only thing that I can drive without crashing on every turn.. Sadly, NPCs don't ride them, so it's a dead giveaway you're invading someone if you drive one online.
I've shot 4 people on motorcycles before they could even profile me lol
I think it's just under a minute.. which for impatient people like myself just makes it even more frustrating. If a crime or anything pops up nearby too you'll be locked out from starting it until you take care of the crime so keep that in mind too if you can't start the game.

By 'complete' I meant 'get all trophies'.
I've done everything else. Multiplayer doesn't interest me, there's nothing left in single player for me to do, so, yeah, getting rid of it is about all that's left. I was never keeping this anyway, as I knew from the get-go it wouldn't have much replay value. I've only kept it this long to try and 100% it, but that's out of the equation now.
Probably going to list it tomorrow.
EDIT: Don't take this to mean I didn't enjoy parts of the game. Campaign was fun for the most part, and most side missions were good up to a point (just too many of them that felt the same). The game's a solid 7.5, but its flaws are many, and ultimately they detract from the experience. Obviously I liked it enough to try to 100% it, which is reserved only for games I've had a good time with. It just became a chore and lost all of the 'fun' that it had up to that point.
Yeah surprisingly did it on my first go -
I just completely floored it whenever I was in the car and got pretty lucky avoiding the police on foot, I never even had to resort to shooting or disrupting the helicopter - which is the worst part of it, with that damn sniper on you at all times, it's a really cheap final mission where they just try and throw everything at you as quick as they can.
Yeah, I thought it had restarted me but it just send me to just after the second point. Got really hectic but I'm glad I didn't have to restart it all again.
I found it really tough to see where I was going at times too in that,
between steam pipes exploding at just about every turn, and the spotlight from the helicopter constantly on you.
So I did the weapons trade stuff. Got the
edit: nevermind. It shows up as a blue mission instead of the icon I've been used to for these.
silenced goblin, then Tobias called me talking about MIBs or something. Where is the mission that is supposed to happen after you scan all the crates? I just finished Act 3 before scanning the last crate so I know I'm far enough along.

Not looking forward to getting to this final mission I've heard so much complaining about.

I'm at the exact same spot, been stuck there for a couple days. I've failed so many times that I gave up.
The only way I see myself beating it is if they patch it to make it significantly easier, or if I can get a friend to drop by sometime and help me. Two people, one controller.
What in the fuck were they thinking with this, it's the spawning you outside and away from the bar that's annoying me, and then when you get back to start it, a crime pops up and locks you out of the mini-game.

I probably was super lucky, but I didn't have any trouble with the last mission. Hectic for sure, but very manageable.

I have a Razer Blade 2013 with a high end i7 and a 765m with a 900p screen. I also have a XB1. Should I get the PC version or the XB1 version (seeing as how apparently the PC version isn't very well made.)
I didn't have all that much trouble with it either, I was expecting something extreme from what I was reading on here about it. Nothing too bad. Although it is a very badly designed mission.
I can't do it, either. I beat the game earlier tonight and it seems like my controller inputs don't have any effect on the level 6 portion of this minigame.

It's pretty ridiculous isn't it? I don't think it was play tested properly.
If the game saved after every successful drink, or let you retry right away without having you run all over Pawnee it wouldn't be so bad. But waiting to get going again just kills any chance of building up momentum.
My issue with it is how difficult it is compared to everything else in the game, which isn't difficult at all. It's a typical Ubisoft game that anyone can pick up, play, plat, whatever. This mini game though requires super human abilities to beat.

YES! It sucked major balls!
I just failed the level 6 one (again) and it spawned me up near the Blume building in Pawnee, then I worked my way back.. failed it again, and then it spawned me in the other direction again at a pretty far distance from the bar. I agree with you, this couldn't have been play tested properly,- surely someone on the team would've taken a look and said "hang on a fucking minute here, what sadist coded this". It is severe-fucking-rage inducing stuff. (As you can probably tell from my posts lol)
Did this happen after a failed online tailing attempt? If so, your save is probably corrupted. This happened to me and a bunch of other people, unfortunately.
yeah, I died when someone was apparently tailing me. figures
guess I'm done w/ this game unless they patch it. Not about to start over. Thanks for the link though, couldn't find anything on google

Haha, I'm beyond the rage and frustration. I'm at defeat. I just can't try anymore, if they don't patch it or a friend can't help i'll never get it.
The best is when the game teases you and spawns you right outside the bar, only to get a notification of a crime in progress you need to go interrupt, lol. So annoying.
It nearly seems as if just when the little reticle is about to fill in and you can hit the shoulder buttons, the game jerks your cursor outside the circle.. every fucking time.
I haven't tested it myself as i refuse to toture myself with the mini game but people say that if you fail you can load the last autosave and which is right before you start the next round so you don't have to deal with the whole go back to the bar and wait thing

Edit: LOL ^^^ that's nothing, I was in the middle of round 6, 4th drink in and someone got robbed outside and the game just ended abruptly, he was shook so he did the same thing, in the middle of a drink!
Yep, it's very sensitive. Maybe it's just me, but there seems to be different levels of sensitivity depending on where you are as well. Outside of the circle, on the edge or inside. They all seem to give of different levels of resistance. That topped with it randomly moving around on it's own.
Have you gotten to the one with the single circle? That one is damn near impossible, and if you do get lucky then the next one after that is a single circle with 2 question marks. I've only made it to that one a couple times, but failed miserably.
Thanks for the heads up, i'll give it a try tomorrow.

I know you're probably defending the game. But in all my hours of gameplay I only encounter one black woman. Name Aisha Tyler. And one black guy called Kavon Fortin. There wasn't any white guy or fat Hispanic guy with that name.
Only a black hooded guy. Ubisoft did it on purpose and they know they been caught.
I can't tell if you're serious or not.
I've seen loads of other black/hispanic NPCs.
EDIT: You're probably joking.
Man, Act 4 is where the game gets interesting. Good stuff so far, just finished Mission 4/8 in Act 4
. Will finish the remaining story missions tomorrow night.
Can you still complete unfinished side missions and contracts once you've beaten the game?
(Tracking down Defalt at Dot Connexion, was pretty neat to see lots of the E3 2012 stuff in there.)

If you go up to the bartender and buy two drinks, the drinking game will reset. Not sure if it's actually shorter than waiting but it sure feels like it.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for the skill reset bug? (Yeah, it happened to me (PC version))
This does work - BUT be warned, my skills/levels reset to 0 from 50 after I did this several times tonight. Not sure if there's a direct connection, but maybe. So backup your saves.
I did get the fucking trophy though. Never touching that minigame again.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Kavon Fortin isn't exactly a common name that'll show up frequently. I reiterate, the names are randomized, that includes dealers. And Aisha Tyler is an actual person. Hence the reason why there aren't any npcs showing up with that name. It's basically grasping at straws. I sincerely hope that you're joking.
Yes, it's like in the Assassin's Creed games. You can still continue to play and complete everything after the main story.
Also, try easing off the accelerator and experiment with using the handbrake (very important for turning). Learning to correct yourself quickly when you crash or get turned around is key.

Yes. It is a very solid foundation for an amazing sequel. I'm definitely ready to play around with
