I know in essence running into a shop and running back out to shoot up a city is nothing revolutionary but I still think this game looks amazing. I guess this is the ps4 version which looks tremendous. I can love without the glorious bullet holes in exchange for the smooth physics and pretty explosions.The Saddest Rhino posted:

echronorian posted:I haven't followed this game really and I'm excited for it now, people hype themselves so much (years prior release) they lose perspective. I'm with you on this. Not sure if your supposed to post in the game thread for a game you are following and actually like said game. I believe standard protocol is to spend undue time talking about Far Cry or Sleeping Dogs. Speaking of other games Assassin Creed 1 was the king of over promising and on its own was not a really great game as half the missions were dull and tied poorly together. That said Ac2 was a phenomenal game, while three tried to be so detailed it was tedious AC4 seems to have corrected much of that again. By this point you would think Ubisofts teams have learned what works and what doesn't in these games I don't see even standard "following" missions to be the same tedious affair it was in AC1, especially for the online invasions. Review release is something I am highly skeptical over, generally I listen more to goon opinions/reviews combined with general Internet opinions as all too often I've seen a pile of high named game sites rate a game a near 10/10 and proclaim it the second coming of some deity that I end up thinking was a boring dull through the motions type of game. Lo and behold months later that opinion of the game becomes the general one.

My wife thought the live action prank video was hilarious, and was curious about the game, she's the type that she will rarely play one, but if she likes one will sit by me and watch me play and get into it. I was thinking that this could be one of those titles.

Sedisp posted:Oh I know it's what they said I just have a really hard time believing it to be the case. If it is the case this game is hilariously badly optimized to require a midrange GPU but a new CPU. Why in the world are they using Passmark scores to determine if your CPU is good enough anyways? The graphics are pretty good but I think the key to WD is that it requires 8 threads or cores to work on. That's why the higher CPU core requirements less on graphics.

Well I finally got to play this game, running this on ultra but had to tone down the AA to keep it smooth, honestly it looks great to me on either HDTV or PC monitor. I really have to agree the driving isn't the best but the game itself is pretty fun. I almost always want to spend my time running around at night as that's when this game looks really fine. It does try to present a story and I can't fault it for that. Have to play around More in the morning

It does take a while for you to use these distractions effectively, but at the same time it's a bit ridiculous that you can storm a place and hack the server from a block away by jumping from camera to camera, including some kind of head mounted camera that walks around hack their server, blow up a few dudes in the process and zip back to your view without ever being detected. Perhaps later missions get to be a little harder, but I do enjoy regardless of the ridiculous factor, utilizing the UbiTraps to stealth in somewhere and stealth out, avoiding detections and completing a mission quickly. That said the driving is giving me GTA IV nightmares, I could never finish that game and the euphoria physics and horrendous indoor missions was part of the reason - bland mission structure and the most annoying cellphone blaring objectives killed that game for me. Personally find dashboard cam equally as useless as third person view, as I can't seem to drive without hitting 5,000 city objects while making it from point A to B. Most of the songs are pretty meh, except as someone said the non-lyrical tracks for the game are pretty solid. Which I really wouldn't ever care about in an open world game except - driving really well helps in the one mode so far that really shines in this game - Online invasions. Personally invading/getting invaded has been pretty cool, in my first attempt, I appear in this snazzy sportscar, I seriously wanted to change cars because I suspected it was the default car they give you (I think it is, which is a dead giveaway), but my target was running around like a madman it was very hard to keep up. I created a traffic light diversion accident, then parked my car near it but off on the curb and hacked him. I watched this guy suddenly stop his crazed romp around the city and just pause, and start looking around. He checked citizens, he checked the cars in the accident, he started to look vertically, I thought I had him but at 88% he detects me in the car and runs for the nearest car, I swoop for the jammed intersection except I U-turn around it and pop those street barricades behind me which he crashes into for my getaway. Another instance I was invaded, there quite a bit of cars around, but I was able to spot the default sportscar rather quickly and I jumped on his hood, like something out of a movie and just started shooting his windshield like a madman he takes off and I stumble off his car. He managed to escape as well but I shot the hell out of his car should have died, then I realized I had a grenade launcher  so mental note, find higher ground and definitely change vehicles.----------------------- I downloaded the ctOS app for iOS and it essentially asks you to login to Uplay or PSN or Xbox Live. Using the PC version I logged into Uplay and tried a quick match, I do not see an option to choose my own game, or connect to it in anyway.

Another thing I don't like is how you will randomly scan someone and potentially start a side mission, you have no idea why there is a potential crime related to this person really and before you know it you arrive in the little circle and accidentally trigger you've been spotted! Because I don't know what the hell is going on, or can't stop the random wife beating from happening because I was trying to be too stealthy on my arrival. Sometimes the scans/profiling gets a tad too ADHD

I'm running this on a i7-4770k with 16gB of ram and a r9 290x it runs silly smooth for me at 1080p ultra except textures if I turn ultra textures on it runs well but the stutter stop when changing areas kind of drives me crazy and I don't see much of a terrible difference (running hbdao low and temporal smaa mid AA setting). The game runs and looks amazing. ==== I am addicted to the invasion games. My last one I realized some things. For starters switch cars the more plain the better. Secondly, there are two stages to online hacking, first to find your target and hit X. But once you do you do not have to activate the backdoor action right away. You have about a minute to do it. In the meantime you can set your stage. I was able too move my car in between traps. Then hit backdoor. My target was busy jumping around trying to get to a ctos tower. I waited until he was nearly at the top. And activated the backdoor. At 99% when he finally made it down to where I was I popped the pipes before he could get close to my car and I won the challenge.

NeoSeeker posted:This is such a console game. If Ubisoft is to be believed, they built this game for the PC first, considering PC's and Consoles are so much alike, I think that argument is moot at this point. However, I have been playing with various settings, I too, would normally have bought this on a console, but I've hooked my PC to my TV, using a wireless controller and I have the best of both worlds. I've tried playing this game with a keyboard and mouse, and even with smoothing turned off its just total rear end. I'm also getting good performance from either a 670 GTX or R9 290X card in this game, no stutter or hitches at all. I also finally got the mobile app to connect to my main game.. who knew, you need TWO Uplay accounts for it too work, Ubisoft assumes that the owner of a Ubisoft game, will not have mobile devices in the home to connect to their own game apparently. Took 2 hours to make a new account with the Uplay servers pissing on themselves, but now that it connected I guess its kind of neat to grief the main pc player with your mobile.

NeoSeeker posted:It does not matter one bit if this game was created for the PC. The fact remains that they were more focused on consoles in the end. The fact that the system requirements are loving schizophrenic is irrefutable proof in my mind. Mainly because If this was developed for PCs then there wouldn't be such a weird way of it operating on different computers. Every computer game I have ever played, has users that have some kind of issue with it, there are just no limit to the configuration options for the PCs out there, and no way to Q&A every possible scenario, and sometimes its user problems, or hardware problems, where consoles come with 1 set design for better, or worse. Most cross platform games sell better on consoles, so the bottom line is the bar was set at 8 core setups with 8GB of Ram as a minimum because that's what the PS4/XB1 have and if your PC is at that level great, if it's not on par, well here are some options to turn off and tone down - issues and bugs that arrive are fixed by companies after the fact. This is the way that it is now, for like every cross platform game release. edit: JackDarko posted:I can have everything on ultra except for textures and not get stuttering issues. It's pretty crappy considering I should be able to run the textures on ultra. Has there been any word about potential fixes for this? My drivers are up to date thinking about re-installing them. You supposedly need 3GB of RAM on you card, or more, disablepagefile (if you have a lot of system ram), turning off MSAA and the amount of pre-rendered frames should free up video card memory. I have been attempting to work this on my main PC as well. Ultra textures work, but as you go from area to area, there's a noticeable stutter that drives me crazy.

I was messing around with that pylon launcher thing, stumbled across it by accident, trying to escape from police and launching myself into the air and careening into two people before impaling two lovebirds making out on the corner. Reputation lost. But it was kinda funny. Attempts to repeat this have had weird results since cars tend to have different speeds I'll often miss and launch the backers of the car, miss entirely, or hit them.

So I updated to the latest 14.9 drivers from AMD supposed to improve MSAA and and performance in this game. The bad news is it instacrashed when I accepted a hacking contract online. It could be how bad uPlay has been it took ages to connect and it crashed when I accepted and it went to load the stage. After that single player worked great but I had to stay away from about 20 mobile app requests.

Sure seems like you only invade players that are also playing in the same section you are - or close enough. This morning I invaded someone, I get in a car and I am tailing someone who is on a motorcycle and just speeding through traffic he creates a car accident and thats when I hit hack... he speeds off.. I look for a nice place to hide, luckily there is a hill, trees, 2 alleys, and only 1 camera, so I hit the dpad to initiate backdoor (and the guy has to come back to the circle, buying me a little more time to set the scene up. He returns and is running around looking at the cars first, after about 50% he busts out his gun and starts shooting wildly, NPCs start to scatter towards my direction, keep in mind I am just standing still - I was near 2 npcs that were talking in the back alley by a tree. I am pretty sure the guy is using the camera to check for movements as I peek and see him down the street motionless staring at his phone. So I lob a grenade into the corner, it explodes taking out the car and sends the NPCs scurring BACK to him. I see him wildly trying to figure out what caused the explosion and I duck back into the back alley running with the NPCs I swear this guy was so close to me but it hit 100% and I won. Immediately after I am invaded, and I had the two accident scenes on the same street still up, so now I'm frantically searching this circle where the NPCs are already flipped out. I'm checking the accident wreckage and running around, I start to panic close to 60% I go back to the accident scene, this time there's a shiny red sports car that I didnt see before there.. or did I? I wasn't sure, so I hauled rear end but before I could get too close ... the car jerks and moves... the guy must have panicked now he gets out and starts shooting me with his pistol but I had already taken out my grenade launcher and I blew up that whole pile of cars/city block. It was glorious.

I bought AC1 and I wasn't happy. Especially with all the social stealth badass rooftop assassin gameplay that was promised. AC2 was a huge improvement in so many areas. But WD does not feel as backwards and as empty as AC1 was with its "social stealth" = sit on a bench. There is room for improvement. I am sucker for music and audio and I think both can be improved in this series. Controls and handling would be second. I'm actually digging this game quite a bit. There needs to be maybe a 2v2 online hacking mode

Morter posted:I had no idea this game even had mods. I slightly stutter during car chases and junk...are graphical mods even worth looking at? TheWorse mod makes it look like the E3 demo, I was running the game on an i7 cpu, with a R9 270X it ran the game better with the mods, than without at 1080p, after upgrading to the GTX 970 it runs it at 2550x1600 everything on ultra no AA, with the mod (before I reinstalled) silky smooth at 50-60fps. This game has boring set on Ultra, but and I'm midway through, I do want to finish it because Im freaking OCD. But I can't finish it without this mod working, makes it look much nicer.

Figured it out, there is a compiled mod that ties a few of the good mods together, you copy and paste folders (the options you want) into a mods folder and an installer puts it in for you and its compatible with the current dlc (which TheWorse mod by itself is not) Night time shots are even nicer.

In the mod options folder look at the effects open them and then pick folder you want and just copy it to the mods window. There are like 5 or 6 options. If you do not copy any folder apparently it compiles the default TheWorse mod option which isn't bad. Then in the main directory where you made the extraction run the modinstaller app. It compiles a new patch file them copies it to your watchdogs folder it detected my locations automatically too.
