AndyKurosaki Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Got this from boomerang, only played the first mission so far. Will see how it goes from here. Escaping the police when I fucked up was a right bastard. Can't even be arsed with Uplay anymore. Didn't load once on ACIV for me.
Sambob Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Ive been watching a few missions of this on the Youtub and it looks really good actually, story wise it seems good so far. Hinn is in it.
AndyKurosaki Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 I'm struggling with this to be honest. It's not bad, but I've not played much of it yet. Should give it more of a chance really.
DANGERMAN Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 This thread isn't helping me to decide if I should get this or not. The whole world seems to agree it's either a bit dull or amazing.
illdog Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Ive started this now. Me. I have. I like it, it's a massive time sink and it's good fun. I think the problem with is is that despite the 'hacking' hook it just feels like every other sandbox game. It does look lovely on the PS4 though.
illdog Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I'm getting in to this a bit more. Finished Act 1, starting to care a little more about the story, that's helping me want to play it. I'll have a good old fiddle with it tonight I rekon. Then I'll play Watch_Dogs!! Yeth!!
AndyKurosaki Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Sent this back to Boomerang. I barely got into it, not because it's awful. I just couldn't be arsed with it, for whatever reason. Maybe because it's your typical Ubisoft "here's loads to do" type, and it feels a bit overwhelming.
Uncle Dokuro Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Exchanged Need for Speed Rivals for this tonight. I'm very early on still, but liked what I have played so far. Thanks Nag for posting up some useful information.
Whiskey_chaser Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I've had this sitting in my pile of shame for ages (thanks to Regemond giving me his copy) but fired it up for the first time a few nights back thanks to Nag and Blakey mentioning it in one of the other threads. Really impressed by the opening but it felt a bit overwhelming when first let loose in the free roam - no idea what all the icons meant. Still, persevered a bit and it clicked last night - it feels really smooth and solid to play, with great combat, and the hacking aspect is fun - fucking up people in a car chase by raising bollards is fantastic! Also did a few online bits - had some awesome moments hacking someone then staying hidden in a parked car as they ran around like a headless chicken trying to find me. Genuinely tense, and had some excellent car chases when discovered. Did a gang hide out as well that was quite challenging, but again, really fun - luring a pack together then hacking someone with explosives just to watch them die was great. I felt like some 21st century ninja edging my way through a car park taking people out. My only niggle so far is the psychic cops, that no exactly where you are without any searching - post GTAV that seems a bit archaic. Still - not enough to mar the experience so far. Playing this as actually boosted my interest in The Division - definitely checking out the beta!
Whiskey_chaser Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Yeah, i think Aiden's smart phone has more charisma than he does.
regemond Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I started to warm to him near the end of the game. Still had no personality, but he at least had a couple of interesting moments. The whole game for me was one I played because I had nothing else, it was just a 'meh, I'll stick it on for a bit'. It felt like the modern day parts of Ass Creed expanded, without the parkour side of things. There was enough there to make me excited for the sequel though, so I'm looking forward to seeing what Ubisoft can come up with. OOO! Do you think it'll have towers that you have to climb to unlock the map??? They haven't done much with that idea over the years!
bellow Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Been having a run through this. I liked it when it came out and it still holds up pretty well if you ask me. With one caveat. I think I'm a bit done with these open world games, for a while at least. There's just too much needless fucking around simply getting to the the start of missions. It's not as bad here as in GTA or the horrendous RDR2, but it's bad enough that I keep thinking how better this game would be if it were just a high tech stealth RPG like the superior Deus Ex. Still a fine experience though, but I think I'll be giving the new one a miss for a good while, and Cyberpunk too, if that ops for the open world drive around like a cunt for hours vibe... Sorry mods. I searched for this and assumed it was in 'games'
bellow Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Finished. Pretty good I thought, and a more focused effort than the sequel, which seemed to ramble a bit from what I can remember, and lacked some of the more fun elements of the first one. I'm still not sure about the upcoming watch dogs legion. I like the franchise, but that ubi open world thing can be a total pisser.
one-armed dwarf Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Well they are ubisoft games after all, everyone knows what to expect even without playing them tbh Also maybe a bit overshadowed by the ongoing culture problems at ubi
bellow Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 That's on my (stupidly long) list. My main regret with moving over from PlayStation is the lack of insomniac goodness, especially with the new R+C being necessarily a PS5 exclusive. This game (and the fact that Spidey MM is cross gen) eased my passage...for want of a better expression. Looking at the current game pass list I doubt I'll have to buy a game for years. It's great? 1
