It's different, is all. In regards to open world games, a lot of us are coming off of GTA, and the handling is very different, takes some getting used to. I haven't played the game that much, but I am starting to get the hang of it. Fast cornering is the one thing I need to work on.
Main problem for me is that you can't manipulate the camera while driving. In GTA you are free to look around as you please. Also, the driving just feels better in GTA overall.
Not to mention that the music in this game is fucking atrocious. GTA always has killer music while driving.

That would annoy me actually. With a mouse, that's obviously not a problem.

Personally I find that the cars handle best when in the cockpit view. Love that behind-the-wheel view, especially when you kill the engine to hide in the car. Pretty immersive.

Playing this during the night time setting whilst raining is great, it looks superb, seeing the lights reflect and the buildings in Chicago, it makes me crave a Rocksteady Batman game based on the Nolan films. The Joker truck/Tumbler chase would of been great in this sandbox.
I might be the only one... but I feel the issue with driving isn't the controls but the camera. When you make a turn, the camera does not follow right away. There is a delay while the camera sticks in the direction it was facing. Which makes it that much more difficult to turn and try to sandwich your way in between two vehicles.
Still playing and still having an absolute blast. I pretty much don't think I'll do any of the fixer contracts for car related stuff. It's just annoying and tedious. Too many of them too.
Anyone know how far into the SP you have to be to complete all of the serial killer side quests? I got 3 or 4, and am only in Act 2, but no more icons on my map to find the next one.
Also, were you supposed to get some kind of reward for an outfit after doing the CTRL ALT DELETE missions? Last thing said by Dedsec was "dress nice," or something like that and Aiden says I always do....no outfit reward?

I don't hate the story, but given how cliche some of the story developments are and what an unlikable guy the main character is, the game is only saved by the grace of its base mechanics. Aiden was supposedly patterned on Walter White/Dexter. The problem is that both of these characters have charisma and you end up rooting for them, even though they're antiheroes. Aiden has no charisma and no charm. I was rooting for bad things to happen to him.
I don't even know how they can fix him for the sequel, he's just so unlikeable.

When you browse outfits in a shop there's a tab for 'exclusive' ones - white hat hacker is the PS4 exclusive one, i think Ubi decided to give it to you right away and just never mention it. So yeah, it's there
and it sucks, fucking suqre hat too big for his head
Really think the absence of any NPC driving motorcycles is really odd. You see so many parked motorcycles, but no one is driving them. It essentially makes driving a motorcycle in online invasions stupid, since it's a dead give away your a hacker/etc.
Speaking of hacking. Invaded someone today who had no idea how the invasion hacking works. Just ran around way outside of the radius of where I was. I'm not talking about running like a chicken 10 meters around the outside of radius, I'm talking the next street over, over 100 meters or so away, running around trying to find me. hahaha.....
Also got someone who invaded me that decided to stay in their parked car after they started the hack. I came out onto the street and immediately see this car on the sidewalk. I almost went past it until I noticed the idiot was still inside of it... lol
A somewhat annoyance of me is that shooting a grenade launcher at a car normally, even a cop car, blows it up, but takes 3 to 4 shots to kill a hacker who is inside of it. Kinda dislike that. Also feel that annoyed that it takes me several shotgun shots or a lot of assault rifle shots to kill a hacker but I'll be mowed down in 1 shot.

You unlock more Serial Killer stuff a couple of missions into Act 3.
Also for the people who finished the game:
Walk away or Revenge?
Personally I spared him after listening to all of his audio logs
haven't listened to any of his audio logs before finishing the game.
He felt like a loose end, not even in terms of incrimination, but more of a character development/story arc loose end. I offed him.
You can do the parked car hack if you park realistically on the side of the road and then hit circle to hide. Cars in the target circle are easy targets for a search IMO. If the target starts approaching the car suspiciously, I haul ass though. Better to get only partial success than killed. PEACE.

I don't even understand the purpose of this statement. It seems so unnecessary and needless, especially in this context.
Shot him. Heard all the audio logs, but figured Aiden went through too much trouble to let him go. I shot him right after Aiden said, "You're the last one." or something like that. Total Schwarzenegger swag.

Ya - Aiden is actually unlikable. There have been some mediocre main characters in games before (like Niko Bellic in GTA IV, and Connor in AC III), but Aiden just has no personality.
Just pointing this out, because I didn't know and needed three, you get some from the story. Conduction and Jesus Built My Hot Rod.
All the other songs I got pretty easily from just walking around and profiling/hacking people.

he's no Jason Brody but really Aiden was just unlikable
This game had too many throwaway characters

The only likable one for me was Jordi, and he had the least screen-time :/

Do you mean soultron's statement? I assure you there were multiple people in this thread that bought into the Trayvon Martin easter egg business, including at least one who claimed that anyone believing it to be random was "kidding themselves."
Hey, I think mine was more conclusive!Thank you for debunking that ridiculous "controversy."
Yeah, I meant only to add mine to the 2 shots you posted earlier.
I thought it was really a stretch to begin with, to be honest. The names aren't close.
If it was Trevin Marton or something like that, then I'd be calling foul.
Same here. On X1. Once you get the hang of it, it's fine. Some cars suck, and some are really good.
what am I looking at?

Not as often as Ubisoft and literally every time they were asked they said the PC will look better then e3 2012.

Watch in HD. I should've got busted twice.
I had no idea I could even get on the roof when I started the hack.

Started the game yesterday.
Regarding the hacking/intruding minigame.. why is the cursor controlled with the right stick instead of the left? The stick I'm controlling with the same thumb I use to press buttons so I have to constantly move back and forth?
That's really dumb. Unless, of course, later in the game I'll need both sticks for the minigame. Which I doubt.

Very nice.
I wish that once the hack is over, the person who got hacked is shown like the last 5 seconds of what the hacker did. I just want to know that the person knows how badly they got beat.
Yeah it's weird. I always press the wrong stick when it starts. I guess the idea was to always keep camera control on the same stick throughout the game. The hacking minigame doesn't get used much though, so it never becomes a big problem.

Sooo both are crappy?
No but both have problems.Below is based on a full play through the game.
PS4-
Rare bug that crashes the game (3 times)
Car horn sticks on (lots of times)
Fall out of graphics (twice)
Low frame rate when driving & lots happening(lots)
PC-tried medium,high & ultra right down to 900p
Frame rate went from 90fps to 20fps(driving)
No other bugs found because I gave up.(will try again when patched).

Oh my god I fucking hate the share button. Every time I've wanted to save a clip it turns out it hasn't actually been recording anything. Complete bullshit. I just killed an invader that had absolutely no chance. He did nothing to give himself away. I just happened to be attempting to use focus which let me knw someone was in my game so I just shot at the very first car I saw which luckily enugh turned out to be him. I imagine he was confused.

Same here. And to think people bashed WB for Arkham Origins bugs... this is way worse because you can't continue playing unless you made some backups (not counting starting a new game, of course).

It's offered concretely at 1000m. you can trigger it intentionally
The game offers fast travel at exactly 1000m away, it's never been moody about it for me. As to driving up to the person, you either have to catch up to them like a mad man and just hack and run, or if he's not speeding around just approach from an unexpected angle. The second option allows you to remain incognito rather neatly.
And it doesn't really matter too much if you reveal yourself if you don't get shot on sight, as you can rather easily run away if you're in a car - and the guy's gonna get the notification anyways, so who cares.

I KNOW RIGHT! You have this shining moment in the game and you go "Holyshit! Did I just do that?" so you decide you wanna cherish this moment by pressing the share button, only to find out that it saved a clip from a few days back. Just awful.
I know it's to 1000 whenever prompts the option but how can you trigger intentionally before 1000m?
Its so easy to get rid of cops in this game. I don't get why people think its hard. You can find a garage, close the door behind you, and go take a piss and the cops will be gone. If not that, then just lead the cops around town as you take them down one by one with steam pipe explosions.
I LOVE the cockpit camera. Driving has really grown on me too. Not as good as GTA, but still fun.
