I've probably already been beaten to it, but yeah, there is a high likelihood that someone at Ubisoft just heard of deadmau5 and quickly made Default based around his mask. He's a DJ but also a hacker and younger than Aiden! A man who quotes 4chan memes in his billboard hacks! Woah! Hell, I can almost see them trying to figure out a way to ship the game with most of the trailer for a level and just switched one guy for whatever video was playing on a dev's second monitor. As for the lack of saving or interacting with people mechanic, it almost kind of fits as it still paints Aiden as thinner sociopath that doesn't care who he hurts as long as revenge happens. It's just incredibly shallower than the initial e3 hype would suggest you'd do by rescuing people from accidents you may have caused.

The finale should be Aiden meeting all of his incarnations he shares existence with in the Chicago time bubble, the gritty E3 demo incarnation, The Viglante Hero Incarnation and the Ubisoft Meme executive incarnation.

It turns out that Aiden Pierce is just whoever wears the iconic coat and cap. The people who live and die in them are inconsequential and always changing. CAVE_DOGS, the game after Primal, will expound upon this by suggesting the iconic cap is a piece of Eden and the first man and internet post evolved from paleolithic apes who wore expensive clothing from ancient aliens.

Everything about this game is just such a wet fart. Why introduce Defalt and have him jabber incessantly at you for a mission only to uncermoniously kill him off without even telling us anything about him other than "Is even more stunted and obnoxious than Aiden?"

Having a rival hacker mess with the game the same way you do could have been really interesting. Having Defalt hack your profiling system was a cool idea with a really stupid "hax0r n00b lol" execution. Having Defalt blow things up or cut off your path by hacking the world like Aiden does is cool too but apparently he almost never does it. Then there's the fact that he had literally zero bearing on the plot. You chase him down to get back data you wind up not even needing. His entire derail is completely pointless. There's so much cool hacking stuff they could have put in this game to make it unique and memorable but they just went with GTA Cell Phone Edition instead. I still firmly respect the composer(s), though. The music in this game is really good. Also

You can't pull out a weapon in there. Most "social" scenes lock you to the Profiler or disable weapons. Offhand, the really obvious "I want my gun gimme gimme gimme" moments are infiltrating the auction, the sex club charade, and this scene. claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Dec 29, 2015 |

I have no idea what Default's motivation was, aside from "I'm better than you  " and I've played the game! Maybe he doesn't make much money from being a DJ and does hacking on the side. No idea why he needs heavily armed guards if he's just doing it for fun though.

You think Joel Thomas Zimmerman could have any grounds for suing Ubisoft over default? I mean the fact that he hasn't because who gives a poo poo says how much no one cares about this game, but hypothetically speaking is there anything like image theft or copyright infringement by making such a blatantly similar mask that a lawsuit could have any legal teeth? Other than just sheer laziness on Ubi's side for making such a pointless character be the third time Aiden has to hack this loving sex data from.

The game could have easily ended here, but it still has the plots of two other games it wants to be to wrap up. drat, seeing his sonnephew off he can't even tell his sonnephew that he loves him. Aiden really is a broken human Funky Valentine posted:Is it me or is Aiden much better voice-acted in the first trailer? He was. Honestly the trailer shows the game was going to be radically different story wise, especially the bit with Jordi. Jordi is barely in the game and it seemed like he and Aiden worked together instead of Aiden hiring him. Also I liked Aiden's old look better, he looked slightly less goony

1: god drat it, I fell for the trick. 2: I'm glad Nicky didn't just forgive Aiden at the end, he doesn't deserve it and he deserved that dressing-down, even if he reacted like she was telling him a joke. 3: Jacks god drat it she just said Aiden's not coming with why are you such a dumb lumpy boy. 4: I sincerely thought they were going to go to Pawnee to live with T-Bone and that legitimately would've been great to me. T-Bone would be a good step-dad to Jacks. 5: the "loving with CToS" part was actually kinda funny and good and felt wildly out of place with this game for making me laugh and being clever.

So, the notorious hacker man "defalt" who hides his identity behind a mask just happens to be "DJ defalt", who also wears a top with "defalt" written on it and wears the same mask to big dance parties that he invites random people to by text message? And also drives around a car with screens in the back window constantly displaying images of his mask/logo? WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED IT WAS HIM OR TRACKED HIM DOWN?

I just assumed he put everything in that party together for Aiden. They don't seriously expect us to think he actually did all that in his normal day to day... right? Also, what in the world was his plan? Lure Aiden there and then... run away? In a car? The thing Aiden has destroyed tons of?

Sinners Sandwich posted:So Default really was Deadmaus? Is that it? I think I saw an icon for your minimap assuming there's now some kind of collectible activity now Defalt is also the creator of the digital trips. The map icon is for a "digital trip dealer", a leftover from before they were made accessible from your phone. QR code waiter's still ingame. Defalt's motivations are provided ingame and in DLC. On my copy he was much more aggressive with hacking- I'm not sure what the difference was. It's also possible to lose track of Defalt, at which point you'll eventually be pointed to his car, which will be abandoned with his mask, on a streetcorner. Momomo posted:I just assumed he put everything in that party together for Aiden. They don't seriously expect us to think he actually did all that in his normal day to day... right? Correct. Defalt is meant to be a figure akin to Banksy- nobody knows who he is and his events are "spontaneous". The entire event with Defalt was a trick. It'll make sense eventually.

Keep in mind that this is the same game-world and characters where the idea that Aiden Pearce, The Vigilante is actually Aiden Pearce is a shocking revalation and no one seems to be able to figure out anything about who Aiden Pearce is except that his niece is dead. I suspect a global epidemic of lead poisoning.

I just want to point out that Aiden is barely any closer to figuring out who had Maurice pull the trigger and kill Lena than he was at the end of Act 1. The only other piece of information was the video he got of Rose Washington at the beginning of Act 2, which hasn't gone anywhere. edit: Oh yeah, and Clara has something to do with it, but she's disappeared without saying anything.
