Especially the online multiplayer hacking feature.

One player is the hacker, and he isn't allowed to kill the person he is invading. He has to stalk them, and stay alive and undetected long enough to swipe their data for a big payoff.

Some guy tried to hack my game, hiding in an extremely conspicuous firetruck. When I caught him, he tried to drive off, so I hacked the city and blasted open some steam pipes underneath the firetruck to tip it on it's side. Then I blew up the firetruck with a grenade launcher to the undercarriage.

The game is tons of fun.

Firstly can you rate your pc on a scale of "Focil" to "edgy Damien Hurst corpse thing"

How does your machine take it?
I ask as mine is somewhat anemic and I'm hesitant about incinerating my gpu.

It runs fine, and I'm using it on a PS4 while I use my laptop to station trade.

Grandso, It looks like gta for the parents, which is pretty much perfect for meBig smile. I might be picking a ps4 up.
I say might because that amd/sapphire r90 is ringing me in the middle of the night breathing heavily down the phone so that might happen instead.

I've read quite a few of them, and most of them are upset that the console graphics don't match the PC graphics. Apparently this is surprising to some people.

In other news, the sky is blue.

It seems the pre-release hype wasn't enough for Ubisoft. So they decided that they needed a bomb scare to help promote Watch Dogs.


Then you have people saying that one of the sound effects in Watch Dogs is suspisiously similar to the probing sound in Eve. Hopefully it's just people mishearing things.

Looks cool. And I like Ubisoft games, among top five of my modern developer list. I think my only concern is one-click hacking. I'm only gleaning off a review though, not personal experience with the game. I mean I know as an action based 3D game, it cant be as detailed such as like Uplink, or as community and tactically oriented as Ingress, so it's more centric to the overall environment of the game and to keeping the action flowing as it is, and for it's console gamer versions. But still gives me concern to it's technical depth that I typically enjoy in a game, be it in thought of preparation or depth of execution, or both being best really.

Oh well, looks like it has some issues with PC specs and performance, so I'll probably put off trying until I get a new system anyway. I still might like it, and by then maybe it will be polished up even better if it's a success and receives expansions etc.

I'm in it for the money
