I liked the dad/daughter one in the southern district. Where the daughter proclaims she's going to make her father the prettiest princess in the land for mom, and the dad attempts to get out of it before finally letting her braid his hair/apply makeup.

I think I got invaded by someone using a trainer with invincibility because I found him in a car and shot 2 grenades at it and the guy got out unscathed, ran to another car, pumped 2 more grenades at it, the car never blew up but was damaged. The guy gets out again, I then shoot my grenade launcher at him directly and I see him flying, but he gets up, shoot again, see him flying, he gets up again. That is one tough motherfucker. Now I'm wondering if he's cheating or maybe the grenade launcher just isn't that effective in Multiplayer?

I got hacked in the graveyard and I knew the guy was hiding behind one of the bigger gravestones. I just started shooting grenades behind the bigger stones and on my last grenade at 98% I got the fucker. poo poo was tense.

BTW speaking of driving, at least the fixer missions are repeatable if you go through the phone menu, beside those and the crime stuff are there any repeatable single player stuff?

Re - Driving with stutter. My current theory is that the game locks your input for a few frames during stutter, and when the game comes back from that brief moment in limbo it throws your car to poo poo. I don't think it's that the physics change at low framerate rather than the game becoming unresponsive during the stutter. Seriously though, drop your res, AA or the textures a bit more and the stutter will almost certainly largely vanish. I get the whole 1080p master race thing but going down to 1366x768 still looks decent with some of the temporal AA options.

So as a new player this may be a pretty stupid question, but how in gods name do you do the fixer missions where you have to get stolen cars away from the cops? The cop cars seem to have some insane super speed, and when I finally managed to hide my smashed up hunk of junk down an alleyway, after they said they'd lost me they then did this map scan with giant yellow circles and found me, restarting the whole pursuit all over again. Not to mention bringing choppers in. Are there hack powers unlocked later on that make escaping from cops easier? The fixer mission was literally the first thing I found once I started at my apartment, and was possibly the worst introduction to the game world imaginable.

The way he kept retrying lines/talking about an abusive other at least gave me that impression.

The weirdest things in the game for me: -You can't hijack boats. If someone's driving the boat, your only option is to kill them. -You can't nonlethally club civilians. But you can murder them with impunity. Strangely, the one that made me most upset was that in the human trafficking sidestory (ugh), you get bad karma points for attacking the guys who were auction bidders. It basically read to me like the game did not consider those guys to have been doing anything wrong.

You get negative rep for killing thos guys because officially, they haven't done anything wrong. That's why you have to expose them.

I just fired up Watch Dogs to finish the mission where you kill Crispin and steal his identity, and now aiden instantly gets out a gun, fires it once, and refuses to holster it. Hitting LB to holster makes him switch to a different weapon, which he will promptly fire exactly once. I finished this mission by rapidly hammering LB to kill baddies.

TheSpiritFox posted:Driving is on the awful side of average overall. Too many of the high powered cars burn out forever and fishtail even when just trying to start straight from a stop, to say nothing of trying to accelerate out of a turn. Try sports cars instead of muscle cars, or try tapping acceleration a little bit before going full tilt. You'll get a bit of a jolt, then while the car is in motion you'll have much more control over it than when going from 0 to 100 at a dead stop. It's extremely manageable and unless you decide to park in the middle of a busy plaza before taking off, you shouldn't ever have to worry about hurting civilians ever.

Dunno if it's related, but I've had a bug where Aiden won't stop firing after loading a game until I click the LMB. I normally play with the pad so it's a complete pain in the balls.

This is almost word for word what happened to me yesterday. Found the hacker, managed to pop a few shots into them before they went out of LOS. Chased them down, caught up more as they got into a car. Pumped two grenades into it, they got out unscathed. They got into another car, and I pumped two more grenades into it. Unfortunately, they just kept going even after the second one and were able to escape. It was kind of hosed up, honestly. Especially since I know I put two of those grenades right into the windshield.

I also wish there were pedestrian to driving NPC actions and vice versa. Knowing that parking a car and getting out or getting in a car are both red flags is weird. It would be nice if when they start shooting to find that hacker, occasionally people would run to their cars and get it. Also NPC motorcycle drivers. Speaking of getting shafted, I jumped in someones game to tail them and it spawned me on a roof top with them. Just me and him. I lasted like 2 seconds. On the other end though I just finished a tail by some docks when it told me I was being invaded. I went all the way down the docks and watched the road to the docks for weird activity with my .50 cal sniper rifle. Poor guy was still like 100m away and never saw it coming. Edit: It's also weird on tailing that if you profile them and they get away you lose points, but if they find you and you get away you get points.
