I only realised today that you get free guns for doing the stuff like the Drinking Game. I got a pretty brutal shotgun from that. Apparently I've played this for about 8 hours and done around 4 story missions.

Zaphod42 posted:Are you sure its RAM or is it graphical RAM? Big difference. You could be hitting the limits of the ram onboard your graphics card, in which case you're just going to need to buy a new card, no other way to upgrade. If it is main system RAM, then there' still the question of if you're hitting a bottlneck on speed or on size. If you've filled it up, then you're thrashing to hard drive which means its gonna go slow, so getting more will speed it up. But if you aren't full on system RAM, getting more will do absolutely nothing, you'd have to get faster RAM instead. I spent time checking every possible setting mixture to see the results; I have 2 Gigabytes of graphical RAM on this card, but only 6 Gigabytes of system RAM (Which caps out everytime I run the game). I should be able to run it on High Textures, unless it actively needs more than 2 gigabytes? I'm thinking of upgrading my system RAM anyway, as more games do seem to be pushing towards wanting 8 - and having some extra room is never bad.

Other than the PS4 ubi servers completely broken, I kinda like it so far. I do like other folks mentioned drive from the in cockpit view.. its way more fun. I did a thing yesterday for anyone who wants to see it. I was messing with the twitch streaming for a bit. (ITS NOT GOOD)  http://www.twitch.tv/coopplayer/b/532790227

If you play chess on easy you can 4 move checkmate every drat time. Also, invaded someone he figured i was chasing him and took off in a car halfway across town and for some reason just came to a stop above an underground parking garage. I hacked him and just sat underneath him for about 90% when he ran down the ramp, i was hid in a corner, he went straight past so i ran back up the ramp and jumped in a car he'd previously scanned. 100% done. Easiest hack so far as i tend to only get about 30% before i'm caught. Also also, driving is pretty drat easy if you just realise you cant be accelerating or breaking while trying to turn corners. Hit the brakes early, coast into the turn, and floor it on the way out. Everything else will under/oversteer depending on what you're driving.

Hoping this question hasn't already been answered, but I didn't see anything in the OP or past few pages. I'm having a weird audio issue with my USB headset where I get sound during the splash screens and main menu, but as soon as I load into the game, it goes silent. I've tried with two separate headsets and get the same thing on both, but my desktop speakers work fine. Any ideas?

Croccers posted:Bar the assault rifle an early mission makes you buy and the single-shot grenade launcher, I've just scabbed all my weapons from dead dudes. The gang fixer missions are the easiest too, just halfassedly scope the area, mess with some guards then take out everyone one-by-one with the baton, doesn't even matter if you get spotted or not. I assume the magic 'knock out anyone in a five foot radius' button is the only attack I'm supposed to use because the ambiguous as gently caress objective implied I was just supposed to beat them up, not gun them all down?

Amd users dont forget thr latest beta driver released yesterday. Improved my performance a decent percentage.

My PS4 finally decided to start connected to online hacks sometime late last night. My first hack; I hid in a car and got an AR to the face. My second hack; Guy was being chased by the cops. I started hacking him and hid under some stairs in a residential neighborhood. The guy ran around the house frantically for the better part of... well the entire time after he rid himself of the police. At 95% I thought I'd give him a fair run, got out and got into a police car and drove it around the house twice. At which point I reached 100% and he disappeared from my game before I could shoot him with my pistol. I was then hacked; I located the guy running around in circles in the middle of the road. Ran over to him and profiled him while running circles with him. He ran towards a car, I threw an IED on it and as he drove away popped the car with a grenade launcher. My third hack; In another residential neighborhood I was greeted with a low garage and a tarp covered object in the corner of where a fence met the garage. I climbed over the fence and onto the object (was unable to directly climb onto a knee high object - thanks UBI) then onto the roof of the garage. I then Ezio'd onto the house and hit in the corners of the roof. I then initiated the hack and went to poop. I came back and had succeeded my hack.

So wait, do you not look like your goony self when you're invading? I noticed that a person i was hacking looked like a random chick whenever he was looking for me and he ran right by me as i was hiding in a group of NPC's. I suppose it's for the best that way though, since Aiden kinda stands out in the way he's dressed.

Invasions are really fun times, except for when the guy is just hiding in some nook that I can't even find, those are lame. Also, I guess its usual progression bullshit, but there's a bunch of perks that would be REALLY great for helping newbies with invasions, but you only get them by being a master of invasions already. By that point you shouldn't really need those perks, kinda dumb  There's one that makes the area shrink faster, and there's one that lets you see what the other player looks like.Don Lapre posted:I am enjoying causing car accidents by changing the stop lights too much. Yeah that's the best part of the game. The stealth missions are the worst  HOOLY BOOLY posted:So wait, do you not look like your goony self when you're invading?

Regardless of if you're invading or being invaded, YOU always appear as Aiden, and everybody else always appears as random NPCs. That way you don't know who you're after.

You'll always look like Aiden to you, but in other peoples' games, you'll look like a random NPC. Same for them.

Yeah extra room is never bad, and luckily RAM is cheap these days, so if you have a free DIMM slot then go for it. But there's a good chance the only noticeable change will be your alt+tab performance.

Got lucky as hell, hacked a dude half a block from a train station. I ran up onto the station and watched him run around through the tracks below searching ground level for someone parked literally right on top of his head. And then at 93% I was looking the wrong way when a train came through

Can you walk when invading to look more like an NPC? Also I died while free roaming and lost a bunch of new weapons I had found from a convoy, but still had the weapons I had prior to the convoy mission. Do you lose weapon progress when you die?

MadJackMcJack posted:To be fair, in most sandboxes I'm too busy smashing into everything to notice. Here I'm actually avoiding cars to keep my good guy rep. Yeah, between good guy rep and not being able to do drive-by shootings, I'm causing much less chaos in this than GTA. But I kinda like it that way. In GTA I'm a loving commando who gets the SWAT and the national guard called on him, and then hold up in some hospital and kill a few dozen before escaping on a wild chase that involves the whole city. There's a joy to the carnage, but its different. In Watch Dogs I'm hiding between alleyways and ducking down into my car so they roll past me. The tension is nice. I just really wish the stealth missions weren't instant-fail-restart, and I wish there wasn't so much shooting you're forced into, and I wish there were more ways to handle being spotted and returning to stealth. Watch Dogs 2 should just go full Ghost in the Shell and let you like hack people's eyes and show them hallucinations or fake versions of yourself running away to mislead them and poo poo like that. ScienceAndMusic posted:Can you walk when invading to look more like an NPC? Yup, running gets you spotted instantly. Invading successfully means walking slowly or standing still near other NPCs, (or hiding in some hard to reach area that nobody can find)

Mordaedil posted:I think this is why people keep saying he's a goon, not as in a something awful poster, but probably someone who takes his morality directly from the internet, is a bit of an anti-social outcast whom struggles with family. I mean, notice how the plot does not revolve around his wife, his daughter or anything like that, it's his niece and sister and how he is an uncle. He doesn't even have a girlfriend, being pretty much in his own little bubble world and one time he tries to be with his family he gets them in trouble and one of them die, setting up for the events of the game. Instead of the sane conclusion and leaving it to the police, he thinks nobody but he himself can handle it and starts on his vigilante street justice from reading too many comic books. Absolutely. I feel like his character is more fleshed out than people are giving him credit for. He's just not the kind of pure psychopath people are used to in these games. He's an immature 38-year-old hacker with anti-social tendencies and a totally hypocritical moral code. He's the ultimate white knight who runs around beating up or killing people for doing the same stuff he does. Frankly, it makes perfect sense that he's still driving around in mid-priced sedans looking for trouble while listening to Screeching Weasel and The Vindictives. He probably got obsessed with computers sometime in the early 90s and never grew up from that point on.
