If this game allows me to sit at a major intersection and just constantly change the traffic lights then it will be GOTY.

Moartoast posted:Unironically this. I don't care much if I can stop crimes or debate the moral ambiguity of shooting virtual mans before or after they shoot virtual mans for the sake of my glorified wanted level. That stuff's cool and all, but I just want to behave like the dorky rear end that I am and sit around loving with the AI and snickering at the reactions to sudden massive car pileups and exploding fuse boxes. If the game does this, I will be happy.

Found this for any UK Goons - Game Seek have Watch Dogs (Day 1 Edition? I don't know) for 25-pounds. http://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/VideoGamesn2ch24ukge/Watch-Dogs-Day-1-Edition#desc Gameseek seem to be legit - this may be the cheapest pre-order around for physical?

Watching around at stuff and the game does look to be 'Typical Ubisoft Sandbox game BUT WITH NEW GIMMICK'? I was thinking of cancelling my pre-order, but AssCreed4 was a pretty fun game, so maybe I should give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt and this'll be a pretty fun LSD-Hacking and 'Social Engineering' simulator. iGestalt fucked around with this message at 22:49 on May 23, 2014 |

I wonder how much side content (And what kind of things it unlocks) there will be? AssCreed 3 style where it's Side-Missions: The Game?

Azurrat posted:Other side activities exist, too, but they're very minor things like "hack your way into an apartment's video feed, watch a scripted event". If there's one thing that this game has done remarkably well, it's making the NPCs feel alive. I find it a lot harder to just run people over and spray bullets into the crowd when I just heard a phone conversation between a husband and wife trying for a baby or whatever. I like the sound of this. Something I do want to see done more in sandbox games is humanization of NPCs. I'd be very curious to see how the average player would change their method of violence and destruction if you brought in the idea of a far more realistic and living world that would react to them gunning down innocent people.

Bobtista posted:It's true. There's no tie to the morality system for the hacks, it's just whether you personally think it's ok to steal that persons $200 and can live with the guilt of loving over some digital cancer patient or whatever the game assigns them. The entire premise of the game is flawed in the same way. You got caught robbing people and as a consequence of your actions your niece died, so you go out and continue robbing people despite the fact your sister and nephew could still be targetted whilst on your quest for revenge because. I am curious - can you actively just decide not to hack certain people (Good or needy people)? Does there need to be a tie to the morality system when you, yourself have the agency to decide these things? I doubt this was the intention - but it could be a subtle attempt at getting the player to think for themselves and target intelligently instead of just following the carrot.

Bobtista posted:Sure, if you don't want the money you don't have to hack them. It has absolutely no impact on the game except for how much cash you have (which doesn't seem to be very important because there are other ways to get money) and your own conscience being sad with you abusing imaginary people. Yeah I thought this would be the case. The idea of giving the player agency to make the moral choice to not hurt innocent people falls down once you include the pavlovian conditioning we've seen in gaming to 'get the reward to get better stuff'. Although it is a nice idea in theory to let the player go "Hm, no I do not want to do this" but.. it falls down when there is little impact inside the virtual world. Would've been cool to have some feedback.

Also maybe find a way to make a Rorschach skin out of the Darkman outfit, since Aiden's already basically an even-dorkier Rorschache anyways. And add a Noir filter? That'd be fun.

Game is running like rear end on medium on my system; i7 930 (2.80Ghz), a GTX 660 (2-gigabytes EVGA) and 6-gigabytes of RAM. Is it the RAM that's the problem here? Edit: I am dumb it's a 660. iGestalt fucked around with this message at 09:19 on May 28, 2014 |

Mordaedil posted:It could more likely be the settings, what have you set it to? I'm running it on High Textures - 1 GPU buffer, 1 VSYNC, The first level of AA. For Graphic Options; Detail is as High, Shadows are at low, reflection are at medium, water is at high, shader is at medium, Ambient Occo is at HSBC(Or whatever)+low. I'm also using the target line -Disabledpagefilecheck and I'm running the 337.88 drivers. Made a mistake; it's a 660 GTX, not a 760. Still 2 gigabytes of memory though.

Mordaedil posted:This is a huge wildshot, but try to set the AA to a higher one. I think some of those were accidentally taxing systems higher when on low than completely off or with a different altogether. No help, I'm afraid. Although I messed about with the settings - the level of detail is playing a huge role in lagging it. I'm going to guess it's either a CPU or a RAM issue as my GPU should be okay with this.

I meet all the other requirements for High graphical settings except RAM - after testing how this was effecting it I found that the game will run just fine until I start moving at speed or a lot of things start happening. Would upgrading from 6(2x3) gigabytes to 16(2x8) gigabytes help solve this? I assume it would, but asking for more expert opinions.

Gangster one is pretty rad but I do dislike how they force the weapons onto you and you can't get rid of them. Finishing the very first mission and suddenly I have a tommygun, a 1991, a revolver. All under my coat.

Ice Fist posted:This game loving owns. Yeah, driving is kind of rough and takes some getting used to. I might try a 360 controller tonight to see if it's better than mouse and keyboard. I found using a controller made it easier as you have more contextual control over go and stop - not just ON and OFF but you can slowly increase speed. Makes it easier for turning.

Zaphod42 posted:Are you sure its RAM or is it graphical RAM? Big difference. You could be hitting the limits of the ram onboard your graphics card, in which case you're just going to need to buy a new card, no other way to upgrade. If it is main system RAM, then there' still the question of if you're hitting a bottlneck on speed or on size. If you've filled it up, then you're thrashing to hard drive which means its gonna go slow, so getting more will speed it up. But if you aren't full on system RAM, getting more will do absolutely nothing, you'd have to get faster RAM instead. I spent time checking every possible setting mixture to see the results; I have 2 Gigabytes of graphical RAM on this card, but only 6 Gigabytes of system RAM (Which caps out everytime I run the game). I should be able to run it on High Textures, unless it actively needs more than 2 gigabytes? I'm thinking of upgrading my system RAM anyway, as more games do seem to be pushing towards wanting 8 - and having some extra room is never bad.

Zaphod42 posted:You think 16GB-32GB RAM is gonna improve Watch Dogs performance? You're bottlenecked on your CPU and GPU and graphics-RAM at that point, not system RAM. Check out the process sometime while its running, it doesn't use that much RAM. I don't know - I finished upgrading my RAM and it's running way smoother. Guess that was the problem.

ScienceAndMusic posted:6->8 is a decent increase but anything above 8 is likely overkill unless you are doing hardcore renderings. I would venture a guess and say you had bad RAM. How old was the RAM you just replaced? About two years - I was originally thinking of going for just 8; however It wasn't much more expensive to go for these 16 due to a deal the place I got it from had + some credit. So why not.

I did try shooting a guy while he was trying to save himself from a hacked grenade, hoping to force him to drop it at his feet, but sadly the animation seems to be uninterruptible. Yes. I just tested this. It's pretty hilarious.
