Just about all of it was done through lying to people to get information that let them reset the password. Honestly, a realistic hacking game based on social engineering and break-ins would be way more fun than Watch_Dogs.

An algorithm where you have to alternate between jumping on the swinging pipe when you're climbing from wall market in FF7 and making all the jumps in the Tower of Babel in Xenogears flawlessly. Edgy grandma was pretty hilarious.

I think I'd like that glitchy ctOS video from the bunker more if it turned out that it really was an accurate reading of the room, and there was a DLC based around investigating it and suddenly AWESOME NON-CANON HORROR QUESTLINE!

Say what you will about Mass Effect, at least it's take on the karma meter had it's moments. Edit: I just noticed we're still in act 2, goddamn you weren't kidding when you said this took awhile. About how much longer have we got before we actually move one to something else?

Just caught up to the latest video, so I don't know if someone's already said this, but those sections where you're watching through cameras and telling someone else when/where to move could have been the basis for a really cool game. Rather than directly controlling a character you'd be telling your partner what to do and providing distractions and other backup, like phoning people to get them out of the way, or social engineering passwords out of people so your guy on the ground can log into a computer, or pretending to be someone on the phone to confirm your partner's fake identity, with a bunch of sections where you have to help him sneak into places or get away from pursuers.

Instead of causing a blackout, the guy probably should have moved further out like Russia or China and sold the information about the Blume Corporation's corruption. Not inside Blume's rear end in a top hat, Ubisoft. The people would have loved him.

Bluhman posted:Actually really curious about this as well. This gritty "grown-up" title is the last thing I'd expect to see on Wii-U, and there's other realistic games out there that are way less uncomfortable that didn't make it on the console either. Ubisoft tends to go all in with new systems, at least for a while. They made some stuff for the original Wii as well. Watch_Dogs isn't the only game they've done on the Wii U; Ubisoft has put out a couple of Assassin's Creed games on the platform, as well as the most recent Splinter Cell. if you think those are a weird fit, just keep in mind that there's a Call of Duty game on Wii U

Act 3 mostly takes place in Pawnee and is where the game peaks.

There was that time he called some mob guy's niece pretending to be a hospital employee asking after her uncle, that's like the one real bit of actual social engineering I can recall in the game thus far. edit; and that didn't even work as intended, she totally saw through it.

So who's Ray Kenney, why do we care about him, and what does this have to do with... avenging our niece? Getting back getting back our nephew? Stopping Blume? Whatever it is we're doing right now. We're at least done with Iraq and the sex slave stuff, right? Ahem.

Track down Kenney to decript the file that was on the server at the end of the IP address that was a lead on the Merlaut incident found by Damien who kidnapped the sister who swallowed the fly. I guess she'll die.

You should check out eXperience 112, it's similar to what you're describing. Considerably slower-paced, and with an interface that could best be described as designed by a computer scientist, but I enjoyed it. Lifeline was great too, but is a text-only phone game that plays out over the course of a few days. Worth a shot!
