Azurrat posted:I imagine there will be a dozen or so really impressive and heavily scripted hacking sequences in the main mission arc, then some standard "push x repeatedly to hack!!!" garbage that you'll have to slog through the rest of the time. There are a couple of different kinds of hack. With Aiden's phone, you can push a button to take control of various connected devices throughout the city as long as you have a direct line of sight to them, because he's got access to backdoors programmed into the operating system. That's just point and click: cameras, doors, gates, transformer vaults, etc. You also run into "hotspots," which are routers and terminals that have firewalls protecting them. These are solved by means of a particular kind of puzzle. There are several puzzles of the latter sort scattered throughout the main game, and several in the side missions. A lot of Aiden's "hacks" in the main game are done by means of social engineering rather than outright computer wizardry, as Aiden is a proficient enough hacker but it isn't where his real skills lie.

Lotish posted:Do you get to change the dude's outfit in this game? Like, in the multiplayer are you all just Aiden clones walking around loving with each other, or are there different models/coats/hats? You can unlock new outfits by buying them in clothing stores, accomplishing certain goals in certain city games, or some pre-orders. Whatever you do he's still a dude in a hat and coat, but different outfits change the textures and colors thereof: parkas vs. trenchcoats, khakis vs. jeans vs. slacks, etc. Also, IIRC, in multiplayer modes you're still Aiden but the other guys you're dealing with appear to you as randomly-generated humans.

Cyborgs are the main enemy in a Digital Trip called Conspiracy. The general idea is that you walk into a crowded area in Chicago and have to profile the passersby to figure out which one is an alien Cyborg without them noticing you. Once you've tagged them all in the area, you have to plan an ambush and then take them all out before they can self-destruct in your face.

There's a certain range limit between cameras and they have to have line of sight on each other, but beyond that there's no hard limit.

Speedball posted:The shell game is CRAZY, but you know what's even crazier? You can USE BULLET TIME during it! It won't help much if you haven't upgraded its duration, but hey! The dude also has a couple of tells you can look for. For example, if he tips the cup, the ball just moved. Hal_2005 posted:- Upgrades are useless with no marginal value. You can walk through the game and save points until you cap out at the last tier of guns, and the game becomes ezeemode I'm assuming you're being sarcastic. That said, a lot of the later hacking upgrades are really useful, since it lets you start to mess with basic city infrastructure in a very real way.

Gunder posted:Is there any way to shoot out of a car? How are you meant to do the Criminal Convoy side missions otherwise? After you wreck them, they just get out the car and run. Chasing after them on foot means every other car in the convoy stops right next to you, everyone gets out, and then shoots you to gently caress. Use IEDs or hackable items in the city to stop the convoy or kill your target. For convoys where you have to leave your target alive, you can block the road, shoot out the target's vehicle's tires, blow up his bodyguards' cars, or snipe his driver.

Sef! posted:This is a good question. If I want to be hacker Batman, I don't want to run out of things to do. Any info? They cannot be repeated once they're completed as far as I know. That said, a lot of the city games and assorted other distractions go on a lot further than is technically required for progression and/or percentage completion, and at least one shooting-based side "mission" (the "NVZN" augmented-reality shooter) is an arcade game and as such is infinite.

Off the topic, anyone who wants background on Aiden should check the Audio Logs app on the smartphone menu. You start the game with four of Aiden's five voice logs and the first four are autobiographical.

Broken Cog posted:Is there a trick to when you can use Cash Runs? It seems somewhat random when they work and when they're "Not available". Aiden won't start a Cash Run or similar city game if there's a news alert, which is occasionally not audible depending on where you are. That might be what you're running into.

Rakthar posted:Not every intimate or private moment is a creepy one though, right? Like, sometimes people are drinking or partying, doing fun stuff, maybe having sex, playing videogames, etc? If you look into a slice of life you'll see all parts of it, not just the unpleasant ones. Off the top of my head, there's one that's just some chick taking selfies of herself on the hood of a sports car, one that's a single mom yelling at her kids, and one that's just two women playing Not Wii Fitness Really. It's just that the privacy invasions that are creepy are really creepy.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:The cops are ridiculously easy to evade. Because they do not shoot from their vehicles, they need to go through the whole process of getting out of the car to shoot. Plus, there are alleyways and rooftops: Use them. There are also many paths to get to trains: Use them. Also, it may not be the case in the retail release, but there are places where the cops just won't follow you. I got rid of the cops in Act One following the escape from the prison by driving along the elevated track in the Loop for a kilometer or so.
