traded in Kilzone and Battlefield 4 and got 43 euro for them

Got it for €63 in Argos and got a free €10 voucher. Should have been €5 for spending over €50 but they gave me €10, the guy at the till was surprised it printed out €10 worth not €5....but hey, nice little bonus

I'm not a WatchDogs hater! Getting it on Friday. Really looking forward to it now.

As a casual gamer and someone who has only played Fifa since I got my PS4 I purchased this as it was the first game since launch that interested me.

After about 2 hours gameplay my initial thoughts are its pretty good like GTA but has its own features and if you only compare to GTA you aren't giving it a fair shot.

Motorbikes is really the best way to get around I'm finding , best balance of speed and handling in anything I've found so far.

I worry for the standard of gamers these days it took me all of two minutes if gameplay to discover this. But with the chipper hammering sniper fire at you in the water its not all gravy as you have a fiery death or a LOOOOOONG swim back to shore

How does this mechanic actually work though?

How are games to jump into selected? Can i just jump in and stalk you forever? Can i rob a police car and pretend I'm a copper?

This was the 1 thing that intrigued me about it and i had feared it turned out to be BS.

basically i go to my in game phone app and search for online hacking and it randomly puts me into a persons game without them knowing.

ive then got up to 5 minutes to initiate a hack on them which i can start at anytime once in their vicinity. Before I start the hack i can hide and do anything like in single player.

once i start hack, its only then the victims knows they are not alone and the player in hacking has 2 mins to find me. If they find me they have to kill me and I have to get away. If they dont find me i get cash xp etc. Once the hack event is over in pit back to single player but its INCREDIBLY seem less with zero loading time.

actually makes for quite tense random moments when your the victim.

Its not a bad thing either it gives you an easier escape route for those in between mission incidents when you really couldn't be arsed having to deal with cops.

Anyone know the wait time for orders from video game plus? My copy shipped late Monday night. Looking forward to it!

My copy shipped last Thursday and I'm still waiting too, 3 days to 2 weeks is the eta

Would of been happier if I just rented this game.it is Not the worst game. It's just not as innovative as I thought it was going to be. they played it safe. some room full if suits looking at statistics and bar charts decided on what ideas to implement. Let's not take any risks here.

This game was pushed back over half a year. Dread to think what the game was like on the original release.

This game was to launch a new ip, that was going to kick GTA in the nads. It failed.

You will get it on the 2nd or 3rd of June, nearly always 12-14 days now for delivery.

just got invaded for the first time it was really cool lol little sh!t I caught him anyways haha


im getting alot more used to the driving style now were its actually not an issue anymore

police chases are a laugh at least theres not poping up right in front of you like in GTAV so far anyways

How do I use the app to get into a friends game? I only see a quick match option that puts you in with a random player.

INEEDANID

Delighted with the game.

Playing on Ps4, graphics are excellent, story interesting and so much happening in the game all of the time.

The handling of the vehicles is better than expected, had a lot of fun zooming through underground garages and then flying over lifting bridges!

The hacking makes the game different from anything else that I've played, stealing funds, listening to conversations that you shouldn't be etc!

If your thinking about getting the game just buy it.

8.5 out of 10 so far

Only downside so far is the music, only 2 or so songs I like.

Duggy747

Anyone notice you have an mp3 player and can play the music while walking about? I only found it out by accident :pac:

When I see the little bits of information pop up about the civilians walking around I can only think of this:

Enjoying the game I have to say. Have done some of the story and am unlocking the towers in the loop region ans mad mile, happy out. Feels like there is loads going on, so just concentrating on bits at a time.

recyclops

I spent the evening playing about 4 hours campaign/ messing hour or so dabbling in online which already while being hard is quite fun and rewarding.

A lot more fun than expected after reading here for the last week. All in all I'm surprised and happy with purchase.

Just wondering if anyone knows if there's any game content or extra stuff that one would lose buying the game preowned rather than new? Specifically for PS4

irish_stevo815

So finally decide to purchase from the US Ps4 store. Decided to but a $10 and $50 digital code off Amazon. The $10 one went through immediately but the $50 one could take up to 4 hours :-(

Wanted to have it downloaded tonight and ready to go in the morning. Oh well

you lose a 60 minute exclusive PS mission I dont know if there any good but I doubt its worth it if you can save money.


I like how if you do go on a mad spree peds will still spawn everywhere:D

once you shot one person in GTA4+5 that was it the streets would quickly empty out of that area fast and you were left running around with nothing to do but wait for the cops i noticed it much more in GTAV probly a result of hardware limits I suppose.

Nothing game changing or worth paying a higher price for, and most of the stuff if not all is in the season pass.

Alkaline Trio - Private eye never gets old!!!!!!!!!! The very definition of a driving song :pac:

The graphics are better than I expected after hearing they weren't the best. Driving still isn't my thing, most cars feel very slow to respond, which doesn't go to well at high speeds.

The city feels grand and full of life. The overheard conversations are cool and the missions seem fun so far.

It's better than I thought it would be, but not as good as was hyped, although it never could have been.

You can also use your sound sneak app to find out what songs are playing on radio which i thought was nice touch. I'm actually find more songs I like then dislike including a few I haven't heard in ages. I have a nice little playlist running on my mp3 player :P

Glad to see people are warming to this game. I'm actually really enjoying it at the moment to the point that I'm looking forward to playing it once I've finished work.

Despite my initial concerns towards the driving I'm getting used to it now (some cars more then others) though I do find the steering to be a touch too sensitive on most cars. Quite enjoy driving in FPS view off missions, though I do wish you could look around in your mirrors as I do miss a few things

Fully completed my first investigation (weapons cache) which had an unexpected and tricky conclusion. Also won a game of high stakes poker for a very nice reward.

The multiplayer is a tradegy.

It needs a lot of work but has great potential.

Campaign mode is interesting. Kind of splinter cell-ise.

Motorbikes? This game doesn't have motorbikes. Surely you are referring to all those cool hover bikes around the place. :P

Its way more GTA than AC. But it's at its best just walking around eavesdropping and hacking rather than causing carnage. The sneaking about it a bit more like the cover system in modern Splinter Cell games.

Shooting is mostly satisfying from cover but is a bit too clunky for the open.

Jesus that Contract mission was way to hard.
So early to..i gave up on it

cloud493

Took me about ten tries to do the first criminal convoy mission last night. Its ridiculous to have to ambush the two cars, kill all the reinforcements they get, then somehow get up to the two guys, and have to physically knock them out, rather than kill them or shoot them in the leg :x

DARK-KNIGHT

Having a problem in the ctos towers are not showing on my map for me to find and hack them. Anyone else having same problem? I only unlocked one and since then no other ctos towers showing on my world map

Kudros

@DARK-KNIGHT You have to first hack the Red markers indicating the CTOS system to unlock the locations of the ctos towers in each individual area of the map if my memory serves me correct.

It will make you miss GTA 5.

Kudros

@DARK-KNIGHT As you unlock the ctOS towers, you'll open up more areas of the city & in doing so you'll see more ctOS towers on your map.

There are bases you have to take down before you can access the towers for the various areas.

Julez

Just a question on the season pass... I haven't bought a Ubisoft one before, basically, if you buy it does that mean you automatically get all future DLC "free". The wording "Download the Season Pass to save over 25%" is throwing me off, does it just mean each DLC will be available 25% cheaper?

naughto

How much is the season pass?

Kudros

@naughto €19.99

rolexeagle1

can anyone with the game confirm any 90 degree tracks?

calex71

Can't tell for sure where that is on the map but now I've seen that I'll go looking :pac:

Edit: Found it easilly , the trains do not do sharp 90 degree turns, in the left out of that shot there are nice gentle curves for the trains to turn on , is that guy trying to day they turn where they intersect in that picture?????? Thats just bs

The spot in question is on the east side of the loop island, if you follow the track from the station in the bottom middle north , its the 1st track junction you come to.

I think they did a good job with the pedestrians, I noticed I haven't come across anybody saying the same quote (or at least enough times for me to notice) and there's plenty of cool little touches that adds to the life of the city.

I was walking towards a fast food joint when a man and woman came out the door, said their goodbyes, hugged each other and then went their separate ways.

Or when some people saw me with a gun, legged it, other pedestrians who didn't see my gun but saw people running ask "What's going on!?!" and start running with the others. :pac:

On the flip side, as much fun as causing traffic accidents are the pedestrians are a bit braindead; Hop out of the car, do an animation and then stand there gawking into the distance and then just abandon their cars on the road (Something all sandbox games do and something I always notice.) As far as I know, they're supposed to talk to each like exchange information but haven't seen it yet.
