Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:I'd imagine most skepticism actually comes from the fact that it's an Ubisoft open world game. That doesn't mean it's going to be terrible or anything, but it will be pretty surprising if it isn't a very slight reskinning of the concepts that are already in AC and Far Cry, complete with tailing missions, outposts, and a story that thinks too highly of itself. I found the last thread to be kinda funny to read through, considering how little gameplay we've seen. Especially after reading the prerelease threads for GTA5 and SR4. Also, please replace the OP with all neoseeker posts from the last thread.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:Honestly, I want all games to be awesome. I've just played enough titles from this studio tag team to know that ridiculous things might show up and be played straight. I'll be happy if it turns out to be truly different and interesting, but they have a formula and it's been working for them sales-wise. While I found Sleeping dogs to be really fun, the story felt incredibly disjointed near the mid-end. I've got a feeling they were forced to cut out a lot of stuff. I would also say it never really focused on being "funny". A lot of the open world activities also felt like an afterthought, and it felt kinda pointless trying to hunt them down after a while. And don't get me started on SR4, it was one of my biggest disappointments that year. What I'm trying to say is to each their own. Also, is it the same team that worked on the AC games that are working on this game? Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 15:04 on May 18, 2014 |

Lotish posted:So my wife, who does not play video games, tells me she wants this one. Apparently she's been watching it on tumblr or something. Is she crazy? Is this a (the?) game for non-gamers? I'd guess it's as much of a non-gamer game as the GTA series. Hard to say, though, since it's not out yet.

poptart_fairy posted:So what turned people against this game anyway? I remember a lot of people being really optimistic and excited about it, but the general mood seems to have deflated if not outright turned now. Probably has to do with the lack of gameplay shown so far. Almost all of it has been shown by Ubisoft themselves, so people are skeptical and making assumptions. Also some uPlay hate for good measure.

Stealthed Zombie posted:They're doing some live stuff over at Gamespot for Watch Dogs. They specifically said no story stuff so they'll just be doing random crap (At least, so far I guess? I don't know if that'll change but I doubt it.) Playing on PS4. They just distracted a guard by calling him and offering him a porn star job.

Scanned him, and found some information that he was looking for a job in the porn industry. Then they could call him to distract him. Think it said something like "We need you and your schlong over here right now."

One small neat detail I've noticed while watching streams is that if you scan the people you see working, they usually have that activity as their occupation. Like, you scan someone painting a wall or washing a window, and they have "Occupation: Painter" and "Occupation: Window Cleaner".

w00tuberjedi posted:That's cool all the little effects are in, but I have seen ~200 car wrecks and not once have I seen a bystander offer help. Has anyone else witnessed this? I can't imagine something like that would be tied to graphical settings. I definitely saw it happen on a stream earlier. That was after he had hacked a traffic light to cause an accident, though, so it might be linked to that.

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah, I didn't even know it had that. All I knew to start was that it was a GTA game with hacking and Souls type always-on multiplayer. That last thing is still happening, right? That's what I really care about from this whole project. Apparently yes, but the servers for it aren't online yet, as the game isn't technically out. The IGN stream almost got invaded by another reviewer, but got a connection error.

Frog Assassin posted:I don't understand the point of the invading thing. Somebody pops into your game and "hacks your data"...so what? What's the penalty? The reward? Do they get your money? Is it possible to just pop into someone's game and gun them down instead of trying to hack them?

Philip J Fry posted:I don't know, it was completely random and it didn't say it was a tutorial plus the username seemed plausible enough. Maybe the hacker can only use a gun once they're spotted or start running? I think I read somewhere that the hacker gets absolutely nothing if he kills the host, so he's supposed to try and make a run for it if he gets discovered to get a partial reward based on how much progression he got done.

The SR4 radio station DJS were painfully unfunny, so I usually just set on an external playlist when playing that game. Dunno if GTA manages to pull it off better. The Sleeping Dogs soundtrack was cool, though.

keyframe posted:In that case they could have added a couple more trenchcoats in the game and an option to take that goddamn baseball cap off. Aiden looks ridiculous like some 50 year old guy wearing a Linkin Park t-shirt and ripped jeans. Uh, aren't there tons of different trenchcoats you can buy? I think you can also unlock some through achievments/challenges and beating the digital trips.

If anyone want to see some PvP, the german streamer http://www.twitch.tv/messirolive is doing a lot of PvP stuff. The modes that are for more players usually don't have more than 2-3 people(probably because it still isn't technically released), but the 1 on 1 invasions work great.

Cantorsdust posted:I wonder what Ubisoft's policy towards trainers will be, considering that there's a multiplayer component. I'd guess that the multiplayer is done through Uplay, and they might have some sort of detection for using trainers(I wouldn't guarantee it, though.). I don't think the cracked versions are using Uplay. Also, trainers are actually really easy to make for most games, I'm not surprised there's one out for this game already.

Meowbot posted:I saw on a stream a guy kill about 5 people and then as people started to call in the murders he kept killing people. This went on for about 2-3 minutes before there was about 10 people calling at once (it seems if you kill the person calling you stop the crime from being reported). There was a LOT of civilians and although all it did was get on the cop's bad side it was nice to see there isn't limitations on that kind of stuff. He probably killed a good 60 people before he couldn't keep up with killing the callers. No grenades I think, but you can make remote detonated bombs.

Yaos posted:I can confirm that you can unlock the game now on Steam by using a VPN to connect to Australia. Plenty of people, myself included, have unlocked games on Steam with a VPN without getting banned or hacked or all our games removed. I used FlyVPN free trial to do it. Before connecting shut down Steam and anything you don't want going over the VPN and make sure you pre-load before connecting to the VPN. Go http://www.flyvpn.com/freetrial for the free trial login and installer. Once you run FlyVPN login with the first set of credentials, the second one does not have Australia as an option for the free trial. I'd just like to echo that this works like a charm. Thanks a bunch!

Played a couple of hours, reflections: -Not done much story yet, but I can imagine it getting incredibly cheesy later on based on the early missions. -Driving seems fine, however, some cars have vastly superior road grip to others. -The Alone digital trip gets surprisingly difficult during the later stages.(Unlocked the cheesy Alone outfit, woo) -You can choose between stealthing and rushing in guns blazing for most of the CtOS towers, which is neat. You can basically complete some of them without ever having to set foot inside the compund, just by chain-hacking various cameras/objects from the outside. -Invading is tense as hell. I've done three successful invasions, one where the host ran past me twice while I was chilling next to a tree. There's already many enough people online that finding a target doesnt' take more than a minute or so. -The Cash run minigame is some sort of lightweight parkour. I've only done the introductionary one, which was pretty easy, but there are scoreboards and medals for it. -NPCs are actually quite reactive to what you do. I had a guy swear me out because I reversed into his car. Really fun so far, and I've barely scracthed the surface.
