Could be tax fraud, where 35K is just his declared income.

The tailer thought you caught him at the lights, lost his nerve and sped away. Ideally he would have ditched the car and come back to check, but the alley surprise is also a valid play.

While this makes a lot of sense and in a good game would likely be the explanation that most would just assume, Observation_Mutts abundantly lacks the attention to detail and quality for that to be a reasonable explanation, and therefore it is infinitely more likely that its just a case of literally everyone in the game being randomly generated with barely any attention paid to who or where they are. (See: The person in the shantytown earlier in the LP with an salary of +40k.)

I thought it was funny when the facial recognition picked up a guy in a welding mask but some NPC having the wrong salary is like a whole new level of who cares

Tempo 119 posted:I thought it was funny when the facial recognition picked up a guy in a welding mask but some NPC having the wrong salary is like a whole new level of who cares It's a valid complaint when the game specifically hides little jokes/gotchas in the scan details. That means they expect you to pay attention to them. Annnnd then they don't program them well enough to account for really obviously weird things.

I was just looking at pictures of animes when I noticed these drawings here. I apologize if they have already been posted but there are so many posts you guys  .No Aiden, you are the anime:      Also looking at these I realize that Aiden's outfit doesn't look as ugly when it's not mint ice-cream and overripe banana colored, of course that could just be the anime talking.

It's just you. His outfit is boring no matter which color it is. The cons of designing an iconic outfit that's also supposed to blend into a crowd.

Found via Cracked: to promote WATCH_DOGS when it was launched in Australia, Ubisoft sent a package to a game journalist containing a copy of the game and some promotional items. The copy of the game and the items were in a closed safe, and Ubisoft didn't forewarn the journalist to expect a package. The bomb squad got involved.

That was loving amazing, what an incredible balls-up that was  the journalist was even loving terrified and broke down in tears so, this is actually a game that has legitimately bullied and frightened a person in real life EXACTLY like Aiden Pearce would.Perfect marketing ploy to show the kind of person you play as in the game.

FinalGamer posted:Wow I had no idea that was even a term. I guess it makes sense though, fascination with another culture and all. I don't have any actual sales figures but there's a couple of western games that are surprisingly popular on niconico douga, the Japanese equivalent of Twitch. Skyrim is probably the most popular western game, GTA is also pretty big. I sometimes like to watch a Japanese LP of a western game, like I did last with Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The general opinion of these games is mostly the same as in the west, which is also true vice-versa. How popular a western game is over there hinges more on whether it has game mechanics that are popular in Japan (i.e. it's not an FPS, ARPG or RTS). There's definitely an audience for those games there, but it's fairly niche. My favorite Japanese LPs/streams are old western point and click adventure games like the King's Quest series, some of which have a Japanese translation. Often the translator paid no attention to context so most people talk in this weirdly stiff and formal fashion, which is about as funny as the original Resident Evil's dialogue. Modern games all have good translations/dubs, unfortunately. Many point and click adventure game tropes are unknown to a Japanese audience so I like watching the viewers go  at all the crazy poo poo that goes on in one.

I like the last part that generalizes most PC players as pirates. Yes Ubisoft, you're PC market is notoriously bad because of pirates, not because of a decade of universally broken PC ports, invasive DRM, poor customer service, and being insulting to the market you're trying to sell games to. Clearly it's the pirates.

Yeah......I gave them TWO chances. Both times when I bought a game and had to use uplay I couldn't play the game for weeks after buying it because SOMETHING hosed up and I had to deal with customer service. *He got one of the heroes of might and magic games and somehow the game decided the only thing he owned was one of the dlc so he could ONLY play the dlc storyline without access to even basic pick a faction and fight AI mode for example* I have YET to have a good experience with Uplay outside of my minimal interactions on consoles. And it fucks up there for me sometimes as well. If Ubisoft wants to get PC sales they need to put any amount of effort into GETTING PC sales instead of spending all their time making GBS threads on it then wondering why the poo poo doesn't transmute into gold.

I remember when I bought Brother in Arms: Earned in Blood when it came out on Steam, Ubi Soft had actually botched the PC port so that the game supported only latest video card for Nvidia users, so if you were using an older card of any kind the game would only run at something like 4 FPS. Hundreds of people came to their customer support forum to complain about it (including me), Ubi response was that game works perfectly fine if you bought the game and didn't pirate it; never mind the fact that most of us had the game linked directly with our Ubi Soft account which you can only do if you used a legitimate CD Key.

The only time I ever seen any of that were those two dudes that were playing "the green demon" game on Super Mario 64 where they made up a game to try and outrun a 1-up chasing them constantly. Unfortunately I couldn't find the badly translated King's Quest, however here's a death compliation of Alone in the Dark. The title is "Alone in the Dark's insane trap compilation". This user has a number of western games he LP'ed, my favorite is The Immortal. I don't know if you know any Japanese, but all you really need to know is that 'wwwww' = LOL. The w stands for warau, which means to laugh. Here's a link to the search tag 'western games'.

I had completely forgotten about that "seamless co-op" thing that they did for the first trailer! I guess that's why every goddamn mission ends in a police chase then? So that sombody could invade and help/hinder the person playing? I'm almost sad that we didn't end up with people complaining on forums how they were almost done with this drat level and then some random rear end in a top hat invaded their game and got them killed.
