God drat are pubbies cowards. Yes, fighting off being invaded is hard. Yes, if you someone starts tapping your phone in a crowded area then it is hard to find them. That's what makes it FUN. Instead I've had seven multiplayer games terminate early because the host ran around in a circle for a minute, then exited out of the game.

So is this game like GTA with the ability to hack stoplights and the police and the firetrucks and the city's infrastructure, can you be a super hacker rear end in a top hat sandbox mode or is it all railroaded into the missions?

leidend posted:This is one of the better take downs I've seen Ha ha, I JUST did this mission except I hopped cameras, closed the gate, and then blacked-out the district. Walked calmly up to the driver's side and executed the guy with my pistol. Like. A. Boss. I like their technique better, though. I do appreciate that there seems to be multiple ways to accomplish a goal. It always miffed me in GTA that if you're chasing someone, even if you shoot out their tires, they're invincible and faster than you until they hit the exact point Rockstar decided you can kill them. This game says: Hey, if you can find a better way, go for it. Screw driving all over the district after a guy. Snuffman fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Jun 2, 2014 |

You can do just about whatever you want by the 2nd or 3rd mission. There's just a couple side activities that don't unlock until later in the game. They don't have any parts of the city locked off or anything but there are ctOS centers that are locked through the plot that prevent you from hacking certain areas but you get most if not all of them unlocked by the end of the second act. You might be able to take them on if you know where they are without following the plot but I never tried it.

Whoever did the explosives sound design in this game deserve an award, or something. The sound of an IED going off right next to you and the chain reaction of metal tearing apart is actually terrifying.

I like how he fights crime, but he'll commit just as many if not more than everyone else. I was chasing some loan shark down the street and I committed identity theft and credit fraud twice while running after this guy full tilt. You just casually hack someone without even breaking stride. Then after I get my man, I steal someone's car. I'm a vigilante cleaning this city up

I've noticed that with the traffic light hacks, the game is perfectly willing to gently caress around just to ensure a car crash. I had some cars kinda slowly moving toward each other when I hacked it, and when I hit the button they crossed an invisible threshold and then suddenly sped up by about 20 MPH in the span of five feet and crashed hard enough to burst into flames. Speaking of funny car things, you know the "Big Brother" mission at the beginning where you're chasing down the guy who was crank calling your sister? During Aiden's phone call to Nicky, I ended up ramming the target into oncoming traffic and having him bail out. Cue Aiden getting out of his car and beating the crap out of the guy with a baton while still trying to tell Nicky that he wasn't doing anything bad. It's the kind of comedic timing that you don't get anywhere else.

He was literally complimenting the game and you still interpreted it as scathing hatred or something. I like this game a lot too, but don't go jumping at everything that might seem like criticism just because of some smug self-righteous jackoffs overblowing the flaws for the sake of contrarian anti-hype circlejerking or whatever.

Game sounds like it sucks. Graphics, story, main character, online, controls, driving and guns all look weak as gently caress. bu..bu...but there is a wu tang song from 15 years ago!

I still haven't used any skill points on the ATM hack boost because I figure at some point my gamestop preorder bonus will kick in and I will get it for free, but I still have over $160k from siphoning off bits from every blue profile I find. I'm saving for the "Niece's name" (seriously don't remember it) Foundation For Victims of Hacking. On another note, it's funny to me that this game's Chicago has more verticality in each neighborhood than the entirety of Infamous: Second Son's Seattle.

I mean, they already do give your money back today and hacking isn't so easy as being able to be done in a full sprint while being shot at. At least they figured out what to do with us millenials, they made all of us work for fraud reporting call centers. Still shoots a big hole in the whole vigilante thing.

They make a game with hilarious action that's a lot of fun to play and people just tear it apart because the story isn't believable.

Actually one of those conversations you get from hacking random phones tells that banks don't refund frauds. The reasoning was that there is no paper trail and when you hack someone's bank account you do it so thoroughly that there is no record of this person ever having money in that account. In fact the bank accused the victim of fraud because he kept sending them "fake" email statements. quote:Still shoots a big hole in the whole vigilante thing.

skooma512 posted:I like how he fights crime, but he'll commit just as many if not more than everyone else. That's pretty much the whole game. I was doing one of the of the gang hideout missions last night and I guess I was getting revenge on some guy for beating someone up by murdering everyone in his gang and then beating him up? It doesn't really give you any non lethal options other than that boring canned takedown so I usually feel like I'm playing as a murderous rear end in a top hat. Luckily I don't care because the story is beyond dumb. At least the story can be fun on a moment to moment basis, which I care about more in a video game than an actual good story. It reminds me of Far Cry 3 where everything is dumb, but I'm having fun doing it so whatever.

Still less vertical than GTA5 though. There, you had tons of ladders and fire escapes available for no reason except for you to climb on top of buildings. In Watch Dogs, most fire escapes are decorative and always out of reach.

I dread to think how much I've cost the taxpayer in road surface destruction alone. I cannot resist blowing up those Steam Pipes and sending everyone scattering in panic. I really don't understand where Aiden's Vigilante thing comes from, he starts off the game robbing a bank and he's never done anything to suggest he decided to become a crime fighter, am I missing something?

If you injected 40% pure saints row into this game it'd turn from crap to solid gold though. Seriously. Imagine an invasion type where you gotta target some guy with high explosive quadro-copters and remote control bomb cars. Or that gun from Elysium which shoots airburst bullets that explode in proximity to someone if you profile them first. Or hacking those automated forklifts all over the place to drive them around smooshing people with a pallet of diapers / concrete / illegal drug money / high explosives. Basically what I'm saying is they need to jump forward into the future so we can have crazy sci-fi nonsense. Or a one time craftable that causes someone to suffer hallucinations Default style so you can slip away. While we're at it they could have loving riggers from shadow-run and you can slowly hack them to take control of their drones (and occasionally they pop jam-coms to stop you, or know where you are while you're trying to hack their poo poo and paint you for all their friends) Motherfucker fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Jun 2, 2014 |

Watch_Dogs really would have been seriously improved by not taking itself so seriously. It kinda does that with some of the side missions but it just makes them stand out more from Aiden Pierce's Grim Grimness of Dead Niece Revenge.
