Haha jesus I am comically bad at tailing people, and the pool of players it'll connect me to is apparently incredibly small so I keep getting the same players multiple times in a row. I bet it's really weird on their end that I keep basically running up and handing them notoriety points. Fun game though

And she wasn't a "stranger" to him, she was claiming to be someone he has been working with for a long time. You're right, if she was just someone off the street, I'd agree that's weird, but he's testing someone he knows, someone he has been in contact with for a long time, and its clear she knew their meet up would be tense.

My friend said "It's like GTA except not and a lovely moral system that doesn't help with no coast guard." He was pretty stoned when he texted it to me but I want more views than just that. Thanks Nah not really. It's something like AssCreed or Just Cause where the first game is a mess, but there's a fair chance since they'll franchise the hell out of this that it gets way better thanks to early buyers.

What do you need to do to have bars and drinking games appear on the map? I was able to access one early on, but I've tried looking for another several times and they've just vanished.

coyo7e posted:Ditto. I didn't do Hacks for a long time but Tailed seems to have a chance to stop progressing the meter, and I've literally never seen the bar stop moving toward 100% when someone's in my game. I'm confused because I did a ton of tails and if they start running with a decent start, you're just entirely boned, and I've even driven a boat out into the water with nobody around for 100-200 yards, without affecting my bar steadily filling until I lost (if I didn't find and kill them). If you're being tailed you don't see a meter at all, if you get a message that you've been invaded and see a meter filling up the only way to stop it is to find the player in the area marked on the map.

I was given a marker to the invader - who was no less than 300 meters away from me..? How the gently caress do I get it to give me 300 meters of distance from my target when I invade someone in ANY mode?

Dammit, I'm here at work bored and want to dick around with the ctOS mobile app. Yet in 8 hours of trying I haven't managed to connect to a single other player. I hope they unfuck their multiplayer poo poo sooner rather than later. The few times I've been invaded or invaded someone were pretty awesome.

There's a scripted invasion by an NPC that happens early in the campaign that puts them further away than a player can be. EDIT: wait I just reread what you said and that is weird, I think you might be able to start a hack on a player through a camera, which would let you get a bit of distance.

That's kind of nice. I'd just been assuming that if I wanted to cheese invaders out of their sweet points I'd just hang out near a sports car on the highway until someone joined, then book it. More anecdotal stuff - is it just me, or do you spawn into an invasion on foot if the target is on foot, and in a (faster?) car if the target is in a car? That pattern has held for me so far.

I bought AC1 and I wasn't happy. Especially with all the social stealth badass rooftop assassin gameplay that was promised. AC2 was a huge improvement in so many areas. But WD does not feel as backwards and as empty as AC1 was with its "social stealth" = sit on a bench. There is room for improvement. I am sucker for music and audio and I think both can be improved in this series. Controls and handling would be second. I'm actually digging this game quite a bit. There needs to be maybe a 2v2 online hacking mode

Racing is really fun. lovely rewards though - 100 EXP and $2000 for getting to the 9/10th checkpoint before being blown up, and then finishing in another 10 seconds?  I was hoping it was more worthwhile since it's a lot more stressful than tailing/hacking.Elucidarius posted:See I'm confused because when I invade I spawn a bit away and have to look for them before I can start the hacking.

I tried searching the thread but the function seems down. Googl is failing me... Is Multiplayer Free Roam working? Are Ubisoft's servers still hosed? I'm trying to play with a friend and we always get "Game session no longer available". We tried forwarding all the ports we could find, disabling the firewalls, etc... I tried skimming the last few pages but I missed any discussions about this or there were none. Any ideas?

I still feel like Aiden being hailed as a vigilante is a total mistake because I don't exactly feel like one, maybe a psychopath or a murderer or a peeping tom or a thief or just your regular rear end in a top hat. I found Aisha Tyler in a building. I shot her in the head.

It's odd that when you start a ctOS challenge Aiden looks at his phone and mutters "What is this...some kind of digital file?" as if Mr. Phone_Hack_Wizard is suddenly a grandma.

Nice, I just did a tail mission. Guy didn't know what was up until he tried to activate the CTos tower he was going for and I was able to start my observation. He freaked out, fired a gun, caused a blackout while I played ring around the rosey with a trailer as the cops chased him down. Best part: After winning, I saw that I needed that CTos tower as well. Turns out, it was wide open since he had already done the work. I just had to walk up and hit Y!

Inzombiac posted:So I've been hearing a lot of conflicting reports about this game. Most of my friends agree that the promo videos were really misleading about what you could do but one yahoo won't shut up about how "totally loving rad Aww man woo!" It is. If are a fan of the genre, and the notion of infiltrating other people's games or moving through a world full of things you can press square to explode/lift/etc excites you, and you can handle the fact that your main character is more of a creepy uncle than Zero Cool, then it's totally worth it. It's not as fancy as GTA, and both the combat and driving are somewhat punishing, but I like it, as for combat it encourages stealth, and the car chases I've been in have been much more epic with high speed turns having much strong consequences.

You both agree it is a badly written scene, but Coyo7e is extra angry because...? I mean it is a cliche at this point in noir for first meet to be macho size up. Putting screws on people helping you to show the audience that person is hard if you don't want the bother of antagonist or outside obstacles to clutter up the scene. Other poster even provided referances in other media doing the exact same thing. Perfectly in character of GrimSperg Batman to do it by the Wiki Howto Book of ~social engineering~ . Quabec Dragon Tattoo proves her worth by quoting the internet article he got that from. Nothing in this scene screams mysogyny or women hating. I mean, if you want the French Lady Autist to mace and ball kick Aiden as your head cannon, go ahead, but stop being so angry bro.

I'm getting exciting new error messages for why the multiplayer does not work for me, though. Earlier today it said "Ubisoft Servers not available", while in the smartphone menu which was nice. Later it instantly told me to "Check my NAT type." when asking for targets. The latter is apparently now showing up for other people as well. (And for the record, I played with PPoE which works against NAT bitching in any other NAT bitching game.) I guess they're trying stuff serverside at least. Edit: Also Realistic trip report, the end of Dressed in Peels is even more ridiculous bullshit. Randler fucked around with this message at 02:35 on May 30, 2014 |

The invasion warning only goes off once the hack has started, when you invade somebody you get the five minutes to set up without them knowing about it unless they spot you. When you get invaded, by the time you get the notification they've already been sneaking around in your game for a few minutes.

Okay I burned out on GTA-clones 10 years ago. Couldn't force myself to get through San Andreas let alone Sleeping Dogs despite really wanting to like that game. I'm about 9 hours in and this game is loving awesome. Maybe it's because I didn't watch a ton of preview trailers but I wasn't expecting the game to be so heavy on the Splinter Cell, noted Good Game Series. Driving around and escaping the police is actually fun for the first time in forever because of hacking + vehicle takedowns. The main story doesn't feel like it's been padded out with endless filler - gently caress there hasn't even been a single pointless human fetch quest mission so far, it's incredible. Game reviewers continue to be terrible at their job.

Just finished the game. That story was consistently terrible all the way through to the end. And the final mission wasn't satisfying in the least. The part before the very end where you have to plant the virus in CTOS in 3 different locations while the system was going haywire seemed like it should've been cool but it was really just annoying as hell instead. And then the final "boss" is just you pressing a button and shooting a guy in slow-mo and then Aiden narrating that poo poo's over now? Laaaaaaaaaaaaame. The game definitely had a few incredible setpieces, like the projects, the night club and T-Bone's hideout with all the traps, and it certainly picked up gameplay-wise after a pretty awful first impression, but ultimately I don't feel like it's a game I'll ever want to play again.

Boy the "plot" in this is balls out retarded and I'm only in Act 2. So White Soul Patch Guy was apparently my previous hacking mentor / partner (I'd forgotten his whopping 30 second cameo in the game's intro) when our score went bad. Now, in order to convince me to work with him to find out who betrayed us, he...betrays me and takes my family hostage? All to convince me to read some hard drive he found, despite the fact he taught me everything I know and thus shouldn't need me for this? I still haven't seen the ridiculous looking goth chick for more than 90 total seconds and haven't met the idiot with goggles on his hat so I'm sure this will only get better from here!
