Half of the people say it's mediocre and uninspired, half say they're having some fun but nobody really said it's amazing. I'm guessing you can like it if it clicks with you but it's in no shape or form amazing or close to being as good as the first trailers made it look. At least that's what I'm reading from the comments, I'm waiting for more opinions when it officially releases on PC.

I know how much you value my opinion palpek since i have excellent taste in both videogames and men and I will say concretely that this game is rad and cool even without the multiplayer yet which is gonna be the raddest and coolest part.

Buying the game anywhere other than directly through Steam will get you a Uplay code.

If anyone want to see some PvP, the german streamer http://www.twitch.tv/messirolive is doing a lot of PvP stuff. The modes that are for more players usually don't have more than 2-3 people(probably because it still isn't technically released), but the 1 on 1 invasions work great.

Has anyone shown the supposed 8-player free-roam multiplayer yet? I'd like to know definitively what kind of compromises they made to make it run decently or whatever.

It is weird, i am playing now since my roommate has gone to work. All the issues are seemingly gone, and the game seems to be running like butter. :iiam:

How am i supposed to complete the escape the police and drop the car off missions? After i escape the police, (which is pretty drat hard to do), i can never drop the car off due to the yellow search circles that basically spawn directly over the car drop off point.

I started a online tailing mission and the guy I was tailing being chased by cops and was doing a good job raising bridges and putting up bollards, to bad for him I was right there with the cops chasing him, reversing everything he did.

Ok, I believe you. I consider the consensus now to be that the game is real good.

I've went from on the fence to really excited for this game over the last few days. I'm sure some of the usual Ubisoft open world stuff that I don't like will be present, but there are enough videos out there that make me think it's going to be a lot of fun and the graphics really do look drat pretty.

Hacking into routers so you can play with webcams is fun.

Until right after you hack some money the couple on bed start crying about the guy's cancer and a baby on the way.

I actually kind of feel like you should be able to do stuff like this, and without it rewarding you in any way. It would be a great way to tie into the whole moral ambiguity thing where you choose how much you care about otherwise meaningless collections of polygons.

I was hoping Watch Dogs would be good but it's really exceeded my expectations by far and the only thing I have disliked so far is the floaty driving but I have gotten used to it. Have it on the PS4 and and I think it's taking about 25GB space on the HDD which isn't bad, load times are good and rare anyway.

Yup, it's a craftable item that lets you temporarily black out the city and blind everyone for fifteen seconds. You can't hack anything when there's no power, though. You can also get a blackout by blowing up large power transformers--either hack them or chuck an explosive their way.

Jamming comms works just as well, takes less resources, and doesn't completely loving neuter you while it's in effect.

Also helpful for stopping people calling the cops, or gangsters calling their friends.

How big is the Season Pass in terms of disk space? Just wondering because of bandwidth limits.

The Pass itself doesn't occupy anything. On a console it's like 100kb to add an account flag. On PC I don't think it downloads anything at all.

Until the game's out there's no way to know how large that DLC pack it comes with is though.

No the season pass is for the single player campaign with that other character that's gonna come out later.

If you're referring to the season pass, it's an account flag that allows you to download all of the DLC they'll be releasing for one price (the price of the season pass). It's basically a preorder.

As for on-release DLC, it'll probably just be a small file you download (or just an account flag) allowing you to access whatever special missions they have already on the disk.

I'm pretty sure it's broken shipping dates, specifically for people who order online. Here in the UK at least Monday is a bank holiday so a lot of places posted them out Friday instead of Monday like they normally would so they turned up yesterday.

It's no forza 4 but driving around in the cockpit mode is loads of fun, especially when you're trying to hide from the cops, at which point the game suddenly becomes Drive.

Yes, but it's a bumper view instead of a cockpit.. so no handlebars or anything. Using it makes riding bikes really easy.
