Nope, you can't jump on a button press. Seems like the decided to use the AC-system...  :?

The Indian Origin Shop is selling off the Deluxe Edition with a discount now. It costs €20.
It's supposed to work with the Chrome browser to buy it w/o vpn but some tool/add on called Hola and switching it to Indian.
I tried but it doesn't seem to accept my credit card informations.

Anyway, €20 for the Deluxe Edition in the Indian Origin shop... give it a try.

First off, it's optional. Secondly, they argued that a cockpit view was asked for by the "community" and that it fits well with the flow of the game.
Makes me a happy Panda cuz cockpit view is always superior when driving.

I wasn't very clear. I love driving in 1st person. However I would be surprised if it ended up being any good, given that this game seems to be very much not about driving at all.

I indeed misunderstood you. It sounded like you wouldn't like it.

Well, I agree that it needs to be seen if it's any good. It will hardly be realistic or sim-like. I still think that it's great to at least have the option. I still hate that GRID 2 for example doesn't have cockpit view which had been the best feature of GRID 1. They actually said that barely anyone was playing the cockpit view... but I digress.

I got myself the Early Access of "Next Car Game" a few days back and hell, it's awesome in 1st person view but it's actually rather close to a sim tbh. Cars feel awesome and with reasonable difference to each other based on weight and it's distribution and stuff (Hot tip for every race game lover...)

Anyway, just having the option is already great. :)

Just based on that news, it went to a close pre-order candidate. Imagine a nice handling like GTA 4, heavy-feeling cars, and a cockpit view. This could be really awesome.
I'll need to see some footage first tho.


Edit: Gameplay scenes from the PS4, done by a German games mag. Ignore the speaker and enjoy the "trailer". Looks promising to me. They had the chance to play 4 hours freely and their preview rating is very promising.

Found another video about the multiplayer, specifically about the invading of another player.

This game looks like a geek version of GTA.

If the story is good and the world is big (and full of stuff to do), it should be highly entertaining.

It's true that out of 90% of the computers that are embedded systems, almost none have strong security measures. Another example : some insulin pumps can be hacked remotely, which means you can kill a diabetic person that way.

Pacemakers can also be remotely hacked...

As for Watchdogs, I fear it's just going to feel like a very cheap AC/GTA with a gimmick, no real depth of content.

Game was leaked, as I'm sure many of you already know.

Played it for about 4 hours now, pretty neat. Not gonna lie, seems like it might get repetitive really fast, but I'll hold judgement till' I put a few more hours into the game.
Title: Re: Watchdogs (coming to you... w/o a jump button!)
Post by: Tibe on May 25, 2014, 04:47:51 pm
I think ive dived like 10 hours or so into this sofar.

 It does start feeling slightly repetitive, but nothing too bad. Good game, but definately nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary here. The weaponselection is significantly lamer than i expected tbh. All the guns are extremely basic. And there are only 2 supressed guns in the game. One being completely useless and the other being a pistol, that does a moderate job I suppose. Also the skilltree is a big downer. I think i was barely even half way into the game when I got the ones i considered important. Most of the skills are quite lame. Like the "switch your weapons faster" skill or the "drive better on dirt" skill, which is pointless cause 90% of the time u are on the city streets. But other then those, the game is quite solid.

Its kinda of an average generic revengestory. Dont take it the wrong way. Its okay, but again nothing new. The wierd part is that im actually really into it and i dont understand why. Its nothing new, but for some strange reason I am really hyped to see what happens next. I do really like the characters thou. I suppose thats the reason. The story may be predictable, but the interesting characters keep popping up the more u move forward. Kinda like in FC3 where u keep working for or with different nutjubs that were just so darn memorable.

NO NO NO NO Why Ubisoft? WHY?

Aim assist that you can't turn off? Mouse acceleration that you can't turn off? What the fuck are you thinking?

Case and point: I am aiming where I know an enemies head will appear, sure enough, he pops his little head up and the aim assist goes "OH, you want to aim at this guy, here, let me aim at his crotch for you!" and moves my aim. Now instead of shooting the guy in the head, I'm aiming at his well protected crotch that's behind a wall. Bloody hell, I'm aiming where I want to bloody aim.

I've checked the settings for aim assist - It's got "Minimal - Default - Strong". NO! I don't want it, it's a fucking load of wank! I have less control with it on! Let me turn it off. And there are literally no settings for mouse acceleration that I've found.

I really want to give this game a chance but having played an hour and I am getting shot to shit because I can't take enemies down thanks to aim "assist". Even on consoles, while I'm using a controller I want the damned rubbish off!

Ack. Had to rant. I'm sorry.

I am at Uni atm, so I haven't had the chance to check it out myself but I found this:

GamerProfile.xml in C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Watch_Dogs
That's supposed to be the file where you can manually edit all settings, even those which are not in the menus. Worth a try.

And do you remember this guide Nvidia made for Skyrim back when it was released?

Ubisoft can make good single-player games, but forget about coop/multi-player games by them. They have the worst connectivity problems and bugs and zero support.

Edit: I'm not sure if the game has multiplayer or not, but with the exception of Assassin's Creed series, I hate all other Ubisoft games I have played. For instance, it was impossible for me and my friend to play Ghost Recon Future Soldier together, after several tries, and it had nothing to do with port forwarding (which was already a pain in RSV2).

For me, no more Ubisoft games for a while, at least the coop ones.

Bleh so far.. this game is incredibly underwhelming and the whole drama aspect of the story feels too try hard like the writers are taking themselves too seriously.

Loosing cops is pretty difficult which I like. Hacking the streetlights gives you a good amount of distance most of the times to turn into some side street and hide in the car.

Underwhelming is the performance on my pc. That's a way bigger issue. It's not running smoothly for me :(

The gameplay is fun, but I was definitely expecting a lot more with all the hype. Solid game, but not the AAA title of the year they were pushing it to be.

Uhh so is it me or are cops fucking IMPOSSIBLE to lose? I have the jam coms app or whatever but I can't figure out how to use it.. it's supposed to be an app on the phone but it's not there...?

I thought so at first, but now it's hilariously easy. Just make them crash at lights and bam, done. And with the proper skills, just disable helicopters if they give ya any trouble.

Also, it's in your weapon select wheel, things like lure, blackout, jam coms, etc. They're craftable items that you select in your weapon wheel then press RB to activate. Sorry not sure what the keyboard equivalent is, been playing it on PC with an xbox controller.

I have the same gfx card :|
Until now I could run every current game with nearly all settings maxed out (AO I had to adjust mostly), there are pretty strong parallels with the Rome 2 start.

But what I played till now is fun. Sure, it has it's flaws but I still enjoy it. Not a GTA killer as some hoped but until Rockstar says otherwise, it's an enjoyable replacement.

I played with Tenne and this companion app, he was on the PC and I used my phone, and it was at least for me pretty cool. Switching lights and road blocks and watching the tiny car on your screen crash and struggle was fun. Haven't talked to Tenne yet, so no idea if it was fun for him too.
Djavo had a cool idea. The guy on the PC uses Twitch while the app-guy watches the stream and can actually see the chaos he is doing :D I gonna try that hopefully at some point with someone.

My Uplay-nick is "Kamelle", so invite me for some online fun - when Ubi gets their server straight that is :P

Still gunna get it. When they fix the game with patches and stuff. Dunt care about the random boycotting kids who boycot games but always feel the need to talk about it and point out they're not getting it or jump on the bandwagon hate. Storyline wise and gameplay wise it seems like quite a fun game.


But OnT: Wasn't 1 guy here from CRPG (I think GK clan) part of developing this game IIRC?

Lol this retard and how he thinks Watch Dogs is teaching young ppl how to hack IRL LMAO....




Only thing he's right with is how the gaming industry in recent times have a fetish for anti-heroes as main characters and there's few if even any Superman-esque heroes nowadays who fights for pure good etc..

Well no, he even talks about it. CoD protagonists are the archetype of the hero. Fighting for the only true good in a manichean world.

So those 100 hours playing Ubisoft betatesters are extremely potential hackers and vigilanties? Go figure...

Honestly I dont think we have anything to worry. Generations have now grown up on graphic violent videogames and its all good. Nobody exept the Australian goverment is taking this seriuslly. People speaking this crap are generally the ones who have never played these things and lack any actual perspective. And most people know this.

Anti-hero characters have been done to death. How often have you seen a good AAA game where you're a pure good guy in recent times? Even pure evil guy (which is even less and almost non-existant).

Have u ever seen a main character that you play as that has been completely pure unadulterated evil? Not talking of those gay RPG ''make your own choices'' characters but a real evil playable main character.


Now utterly pure ''good'' characters have been here and there but not that much in recent times. And COD doesn't count (even though i like it).

Not very often, because like I said, those are childish. There's a reason why "pure good" superheroes are marketed only to children. Adults generally don't want unrealistic naïve heroes. "Pure good" doesn't exist.

They do. But kids don't like that. They want the badass evil guy who slaughters innocents and shoots first and asks questions later. And kids = Money

This such an antiquated and retarded argument. The Joker is one of the most popular and successful villains of all time and yet what is his moral dilemma or motivation? None. He's pure evil. Pure chaos. Binary or idealized characters are not childish, only shitty writing that presents them as childish is childish. If you're looking for realism in these types of characters and stories then you're completely missing the point. Children know that crabs in real life don't talk like they do in Little Mermaid, yet grown ass adult men complain about realism in their ENTERTAINMENT not making any sense visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Uh, yes.... the Joker has no moral dilemma because he's from a childish comic book series that has pure good and evil.

And no, you're completely missing the point. OLOLOL. See how easy that was? Or maybe you'd wish to elaborate on what the "point" is supposed to be -- though I'd guess not.

Entertainment doesn't mean it can't be realistic. That whole argument is so adolescent I can't even be bothered with it. There's a reason entertainment doesn't consist of pink squares fighting off yellow triangles.

Seriously how else can you portray a character that is pure good? Of course it will be boring, childish and one dimensional.

Entertainment doesn't mean it can't be realistic.

Now that you guys brought up the Joker, It made me think about how hard the new movies try to be more dark, and "realistic."

They ended up what? Boring and seriously overrated because of a death of an actor.

Take the dark knight for an example. Remove the "hero" aspect of it for a bit inside your head, hell maybe watch it like that. What do you get? A boring action flick that was done a hundred times over.

This is what happens when a director thinks that comic book material needs to be super serious. Tim Burton did it better because it didnt try too hard to be more than what it should be. People loved the dark knight though.

How now, I kind of expected that of you.  :wink:

I'm not really fan of the remake series at all, but have to agree Begins is the least 'meh' out of the three.

The new batmobile, the annoying sound Bale uses all the time, it's just.. ew.

But still it's not as bad as the Schumacher ones.. Other than Forever, that is watchable.
But it's a nice example what happens when they go full retard with the "goofiness" factor. I know batman was a TV show with "POW" signs and so, but for a full length movie..

Using the Joker and Batman isn't the best choice. There are several "universe" where the characters partly differ in very important ways from each other. Reducing Joker like that is not possible in any of them, tbh.

That's the worst part about that movie. Action scenes in it were sweet tho. But story about rich kid who lost his parents, went to shaolin monastery or whatever to become a better person is bollocks. Rich kids are by definition in 100% cases spoiled bastards with no soul who compensate by acting "spiritual". Anyone who tries to sell me a story where rich kid cares about world he's living in and hasn't yet performed suicide is lying son of a bitch.

What you described actually make more sense. If there were super heroes in our reality, they would definitely be people with issues who are going vigilante for that very reason. We already have bunch of villains like that, fresh example Elliot Rodgers.

Edit: Superman is example where pure good character makes perfect sense and is in many ways superior to superficial Batman. Because Superman is from another planet, is perfectly possible that he is genuinely good and caring person. Not being human unlocks that possibility.

Also, not only did he have a stabbing weapon, the guy was fighting with the other dude that was about to shoot him and he basically kicked his ass. He tried reasoning with the oldguy instead of fighting him, but he stabbed him. Really nightmare....

By the way, by naming a game about hackers "Watch_Dogs" trying to be edgy with the underscore they horribly failed. "watch_dogs" or "watchDogs" or even "WatchDogs" would have been okay. But they managed to use a naming convention that nobody uses.

In my opinion Zero Punctuation videos are terrible reviews, if you take them as a review anyway. It's very funny, I enjoyed watching all of them, but not even one was a good review. For starters, a good review would not concentrate on commenting the scenario of a game, as things can hardly get more subjective than that.

Well he mentioned one of my ideas as a good thing in his review of the first game I worked on, so he's the best reviewer on the world imo :D

Only if the Xbow and/or PS people somehow bribed them to do it. To make the game feel like next gen on the consoles. Cause we have been on this "next gen" wordplay for so bloody long now and i think its the consoles main selling point atm. And it wouldnt feel "next gen" if the PC performed significantly better and left it in shame. Which everybody already knows PCs can do. Cant think of any other reason. PC or console they would still get the cash either way, doesnt matter what platform the costumer buys the game for. Or mybe they just felt bad for the consoles.

Of course they have made it intentionally worse, because console peasants need to feel special, and to push their next-gen console agenda.

Honestly, if they gave PC at least some effort, console gaming would probably die out soon.

Ok just finished it, and i'm kinda satisfied by it; the game is fun, graphics are absolutely not next gen, that is true, but it still looks good.

now i don't really get if my standards got extremely lowered, but as i said, i enjoyed the game; even though the story was typical retarded american plot (still catchy if you ask me), and the hacking is uber unrealistic (which doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing), i see this as a game that finally proposes something new and original, and being it new often means it's not perfect; this new way of taking care of chases, the well balanced stealth/action combat, side missions that have potentials, the modern chicago setting: this is a generally good game imo.

honestly if i had to choose which of these three helped the "gaming cause" the most,Dishonored, Bioshock Infinite (both considered good games) and Watch Dogs i'd definitely say the latter. developers said it's going to be turned into a franchise, which again, i believe it should be a good thing; the problem is it's a ubisoft franchise, which usually means a bad thing; just like assassin's creed, this is a game with potential, it is normal it has flaws, a lot, being it something new, but the fundamental idea it's rightly placed imo, it just need to be polished, a lot maybe, but i believe it's on the right rails.
