Discendo Vox posted: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. I am going to agree to disagree. Nothing else in this game makes sense. Circle takes the square for the win.

I keep watching this LP because my brain can't believe how insanely bad the plot to this triple A game is. It's like marginally better than a David Cage story by now.

I saw the strategy guide for this game when I was shopping today. You can't tell me this game needs a hardback book the size of The Deathly Hallows. There's no way that's a viable marketing plan.

I liked lumpy Aiden. At least he looked different. Also I keep hearing Pawnee as Prawnee.

Crazy Achmed posted: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? Just like how whoever could have guessed that The Mysterious Vigilante, Aiden Pierce, was gasp! Aiden Pierce the whole time! Especially out of place was the moment when Nicky had her sudden realization that Aiden was The Vigilante, only a moment after the car's radio finished a news report on The Vigilante, Aiden Pierce. I know that it's been brought up plenty already, but jesus this game cannot stay consistent on if Aiden's identity is secret or no, and just how secret it is. Even the radio broadcasts don't make sense. How can he be mysterious and unknown with little information if his real name is literally common enough knowledge for the news to wave it around like it's no big deal? It'd be like if everyone know that Batman's name was Bruce Wayne and they just somehow didn't get that yes it was that Bruce Wayne. Trashtalking the game aside, I have to admit I really liked the nightclub segment. The whole area really played up the cyberpunk vibe that the game should have had all along, with the weird QR code waiters and flashy decorations. I liked the interface screw with the hacked profiles to mock Aiden. And the whole trope of "Evil rival who has all of your own powers!" is pretty overdone so I'm glad that Defalt wasn't all just about being able to counter-hack you like during the car chase, but on the other hand he really doesn't have anything else to go for him. Another case of a potentially interesting character totally wasted.

Hippocrass posted:Well, considering his conflict with Disney over trademark infringement, it'd be kinda hypocritical. Oh that's right, how much money did Ubisoft have to pay to Disney for using any form of mouse ears on anything? Being a likely last minute addition to the game, I don't think default was in any trailer or advertisement for the game, but Disney lawyers are a tenacious bunch.

Please don't run with Defalt's mask. If you are holding a mask, make sure you are holding it away from you and pointing it down at the floor.

Remember how long it took for Ubisoft to put out a Wii U port? Big drama over that. Like 6 months behind the normal launch but complaints fizzled down the same time as Watch_Dogs sales Assassins Creed 3 on Wii U is pretty good though edit:

Probably either they couldn't get the rights to use Thompson Submachine gun from Auto-Ordnance, or it's just a skin over an existing weapon and doesn't actually act like a real Thompson (or both!)

I had it and it's a unique weapon, but still acts little like a real Thompson. I can actually say that because I have experience with a real, full auto M1A1! The "Tommy Gun" is a very fast firing, low recoil SMG. The real Thompson is slower and snappier.

That mission at the end of the video was so,so annoying the first time i was playing through this game. Chip didn't talk about it or show it off very well but the cops aren't searching for you so much as trying to box you in the entire time and if you are seen at all you have to start it over and listen to that whole conversation over and over again. I also love how Nikki talks about Aiden being the vigilante like it's a new thing to her. Which maybe it could be, she's been kidnapped for the past unspecified amount of time and probably wasn't allowed a TV. But then she says THE VERY NEXT SENTENCE that she was watching the news about Aiden's rampage of violence and destruction and questions if that was all him. So i guess she missed the 2 separate newscasts in the main plot that specified Aiden was the Vigilante? Did she or did she not watch TV while being trapped an

Right. I know tommy gun's a nickname, I've just never seen anyone put it in quotes. Now I know why.  Somehow knockoff weapon brands doesn't seem that farfetched for this game.

It's kinda amazing how much better that mission is than....well, almost everything else. It's a unique environment where you're interacting with the bad guy, and then you get a really neat song as you chase him. Unfortunately, it couldn't help being Watch_Dogs and you get into a pointless gunfight with half a dozen armored enemies on the rooftop instead of a cool set piece chase.

From now until endgame the cops are going to spawn at SWAT or above nearly every mission. It becomes the most miserable thing to play and you basically want to just slam the objective ASAP or you're gonna get swarmed. It gets worse when they bug out and I hope that was a bug on my end and not something specific to the next(?) video's mission...
