Watch_Dogs

I've done most of them. One thing is I wish some of the firefights were a bit.. longer? None of them are challenging really.

Some are for me. The Weapons Trade mission has been hard. It's three waves of enemies with the second and third waves driving in after you kill the wave before.

And the last three enemies are Enforcers.

Since this is out on the 360 it is on my maybe list. What do you guys think of it?

I really like it. It has a lot to do besides just killing people.

OMG why does the fucking game keep re-enabling online invasions on its own.

Why are online invasions even a thing. They suck. "Oh, you're on the L train between two stations! Time to trigger an online invasion. Have fun chasing the guy you can't reach till the next station asshole."

Dude, you have access to, like, 34986 cars, why are you taking the L? DRIVE THERE.

Anyone hear that rumor that the engine for Watch Dogs was originally for a driving game? Not sure I buy that, the controls are OK for a driving game I guess, but they could be better.

That doesn't mean much of anything. Look at how much crap Unreal Engine can be used to make.

Driving is hard when the roads are so tight and there are so many people driving and up on the sidewalk.

Though I still typically prefer it to the train. Otherwise I'll just fast travel to one of my hideouts.

Coz the place im going to has a L train station and the L train has a fast travel button? Why would I take 10 min to drive there when I can take 1 to fast travel (when the game doesn't turn online invasions on).

What are you playing on?

Even when I restart my game (which I do a lot; I tend to start a game like, seven times before I finally settle down and play all the way through; don't ask me why, I don't know) it remembers that I turned Online Invasions off.

Oh man, I just unlocked the Spec Ops Goblin. It's so fantastic.

BEST GUN IN THE GAME, and I will hack a steam pipe under anyone who disagrees. (Don't hand me the Spec Ops Vector, it only has 20 bullets in the mag.)

From what I remember of the guns, Goblin IS pretty good.

Though I typically don't care what I shoot with, so long as it's rapid-fire and has enough bullets in it.

When I'm facing an Enforcer and there are no environmental hazards handy, I just whip out the five-star assault rifle and pour bullets into it.

I prefer the pump action grenade launcher. Or just taking them down. (Yes, if you have the right perk, you can take a guy in an armored suit down by repeatedly hitting him with a collapsible baton.)

I just use IEDS or my grenade launcher.

Beat Watch_Dogs at level 40 on Normal. 8.5/10 game.

Those last few missions of Act 4 were fun to go though, cool music and atmosphere for Storming the Castle. Killing Lucky with his pacemaker felt so...poetic for me, and killing Damien period was climatic after you spend all of Act 5 fighting him through his control of the city. I let Maurice live because I didn't think he did anything to deserve a bullet to the face like Damien did.

"Sometimes You Still Lose" was my favorite mission. Somehow I thought it would be better with a lot more players.

Let's take an informal spoiler poll: Who let Maurice live? I got all 8 burner phones, and I understood why. So I let him live. And until I hear otherwise, I'm going to believe that Poppy was Abbie.

I let him live. I'd feel too guilty if I killed him. But if it was like that one guy in Grand Theft Auto IV who you let go and came back in force, THEN I'd kill him.

To be fair, I think I kind of took the easy way out to make the game easy. I saw how awesome silenced weapons were, but all I had was the 1911. So I looked in the progression and saw the spec ops goblin, and went straight for it, pursuing every gang hideout I could find. Then I did a bunch of criminal convoys and got the Destroyer anti-materiel rifle. I was still in Act 2.

After that it was all cake, stealth assassin my way through everything until shit went loud or I wanted it to go loud, then anti-materiel rifle kills cars in one hit to the engine block, spec ops goblin serves just fine in a firefight on its own. Semi-auto shotgun for up-close work.

So PC gamers can make the game as pretty as it was at E3 2012.

I'm really enjoying the companion app now that I've beat the game. It helps a lot to have done those missions as Aiden a few times before playing the police. I've only lost once and I'm lvl 11 now. I never lost one of those missions when I was Aiden though, it boggles the mind how bad some people are at playing as Chicago PD, it's actually quite easy to win.

Sharpshooter chips away at the target while interceptors try to catch up, and once you manage to stop the guy for a second, spawn a SWAT SUV between them and the next checkpoint. Result ends up being dogpiled by fast cars and having to dodge CTOS traps which tends to result in crashes and civilian casualties, and god forbid they don't pay attention to a steam pipe, I won once by killing a guy instantly with one of those. It went off right under him and sent his car flying into a nearby building, exploding with the driver still in it.

Agh, I really have to get over my distaste for registration screens and try that app.

In other news, I have lowered my rep almost right back down to the middle because all of those side missions have had me running down pedestrians like street signs.

They're just so in the way...later I'll have to do more vigilante work to make them like me again.
