Will I likely be all right on low/medium settings or should I cancel my preorder? I'd quite like to know this as well but I have an i5 3570k and a gtx660ti. I also have a ps4 and am totally torn about what to play it on.

That's a bummer, looks like I'll play this locked to 30fps, as I really can't stand tearing.

I hear the digital trips are pretty expansive but don't unlock anything outside of the trips themselves. They're fun though, which is the point of playing a game.

There is a lot of side quests and most of them seem to confer some sort of unlock, be it a weapon, skill or vehicle. I really do like the side-quest/unlock/skill system. DiabloStarCraft posted:I got that in AC4 as well, I suspect they're doing some loading during the cutscenes, as that's what was happening in AC. Do you have an SSD? Ahh that makes sense. I experienced that as well in AC4. I do have an SSD, but only have my OS installed on it.

I may be a bit late here but it appears someone go their hands on the game and is giving answers to questions. Seeing as how journalists will completely forget to compare expectations vs delivery I'm going to ask you about all the expectations I had when this game premiered at E3 with a live game demonstration. The following is a list of things which were in the demo that piqued my, and probably everyone else's, interest in the game. I fully expected all of these things to be in the final game.
There are a lot of little technical things that happened in that demo that I haven't seen hide nor hair of since that demo. Would the current game owners care to tell me how much of this has been removed or toned down for the final game?

No trash or debris, but that could be because of my medium graphics settings...same with the tree and umbrellas swaying. Conversations do happen, interactions seem more limited. Have not experienced weather reports predicting weather. Definitely is real time profiling. Doesn't serve much purpose other than finding money, quests, and fluff. Haven't experienced violence probability, but I'm kind of confused as to what you're asking here. Weather does look pretty drat good, even at medium. It also seems to effect driving as well. I have hacked so many traffic lights it's not even funny. I have yet to see more than 4-5 cars involved in accidents and I have yet to see any NPC bystanders interact with those accidents other than a gasp or something inconsequential. Slo-mo hasn't caused those effects for me, but I would guess because of graphics settings. NPC driver/passenger situation hasn't occurred for me. Haven't performed the leap over cover. Gas stations will explode after being on fire for a bit. Haven't noticed the last two either.

If they catch on fire, would it take a while for them to eventually blow up into a rather giant column of fire and smoke as seen in the demo video. Too bad about the traffic and NPC AI being dumbed down. Those were some breathtaking scenarios they played out in the demo and knowing they're gone just makes me give much less of a poo poo about this game. To add to that, this makes me fear The Division just won't look, or be, as good as it did at E3 2013.

The opinions about the driving model sound so conflicting to me. One person claims they went a bit too sim, someone thinks nothing has any weight nor grip. I can't fathom what it would be like if the driving feels like both of these. If it's a bit realistic and even done reasonably well, I'll be quite happy. FWIW, I had nothing against GTA IV's driving. It's been years since I played it, but I remember the driving mostly just a bit slide-happy, which could be tamed. I have also encountered a plenty of arcade racers with way worse handling than any GTA. Also, I didn't find anything wrong in the way cars handled in Mafia 1 either. The driving mission was needlessly difficult though. The worst driving model I personally remember was in Saints Row 2. That poo poo was just clunky beyond any belief.

SR2 links a whole bunch of things to the speed of the processor, and assumes your processor is going to be running at 2.4ghz (The speed of the Xbox 360's processor). The further away from that you are in either direction the more wonky things will seem, especially the handling. I am sure there will never be a port as bad as SR2 on PC.

ShineDog posted:Re: Driving problems. Are you guys using keyboard on PC or a gamepad? 360 controller. The bumper and in-cab views are somewhat better than the two third-person camera angles. Motorcycles are also slightly better than cars. The city is pretty fun to just walk around in anyway; I've only really used cars if the missions require it. The initial response to a turning input is just too long. Nothing happens for a split second and then it lurches over so hard that you're counter-steering just to get back on course. It's like driving a real car with no power steering and the tires half deflated (or riding the horse from rear end Creed.) First-person view is much more manageable, but you lose some contextual stuff with the narrower FOV.

Some people are just bad at videogames I guess. e: Anyway I'm pretty confused by people's reactions for the most part, isn't the bit everyone is waiting for the rad multiplayer stuff that isn't gonna be playable in most cases until tuesday? Like the open world stuff is fun and cool and the game seems fun but the part that really has me interested is the multiplayer, both the invading hackers and the actual free roam. hopterque fucked around with this message at 11:39 on May 24, 2014 |

It seems you just hear what you want to hear so you'll have to see for yourself anyway. Nah, I wasn't really wanting to hear anything, just was wondering how people had such different opinions. My expectations for this game have been dampened pretty well already.  There's still enough that interests me that I'll get it.

When I first saw a commercial for this with the guy walking around droning on about how he controls the city, I told my brother they're making a sequel to The Dungeonmaster* movie, which also starts with a nerd jogging through town and using his advanced computer (X-CaliBR8) to manipulate traffic lights and steal money from the ATM. That's also the movie where the Mythbusters guy got "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" from. *Does not contain dungeons or mastery there-of.

I watched a video where the dude said Aim Assist affects the driving. That sounds ridiculous but if it's indeed the case the difference in opinions might be at least in part be down to that?

I don't really care about nextgenness, or story ( outside of making sure I don't know what happens ). As long as it wraps up properly and has some good moments, I'll probably enjoy it. What I want to know is. - Does the shooting/gameplay sequences feel fun. What does the hacking offer when it comes to combat. - How is the mission variety when it comes to main story stuff. Are you finding yourself doing a wide variety of stuff, or is it mainly tailing/shooting. - How varied is the side content. Are we talking SR style activities, Sleepy Dogs gang wars, or AssCreeds forts/towers/assassinations/leonardo missions? Or is it more GTAs "random ped quests". - How big is the city, do the districts feel distinct? The hacking could literally just be Sleepy Dogs p2, where you have to hack a camera before you can beat the people up, and it just shows them from above and I'd still not care. I'm looking for a good open world game, not a hyped up "next gen!" experience.

One small neat detail I've noticed while watching streams is that if you scan the people you see working, they usually have that activity as their occupation. Like, you scan someone painting a wall or washing a window, and they have "Occupation: Painter" and "Occupation: Window Cleaner".

Ah gently caress it, cancelled my £29 pre-order and I'll just wait for a cheap key or something. Like, infamous SS was fun but there really wasn't any point in paying full price day 1. I just hope there's still some multiplayer activity in a few months.

I've decided that's what I'm going to do this console generation for anything except a GTA. I've just picked up AssCreed 4 cheap and intend to do the same thing with this game in a couple of months. I finally figured out games don't get any less fun when you don't buy them at launch.

People who complained it was too drifty either never slowed down for corners or never mastered the handbrake, which was a joy. I'm still looking forward to watch dogs a lot. Just hoping I can play it on fairly high graphics with an i3570k, 770 at 1440p.
