Watch Dogs

Re: Watch Dogs

sure, but its 2014 its a fairly standard thing in open world games.. plus if my job is too take a guy out why cant i shoot his tires or him for that matter and speed away?

besides half the time there isnt enough traffic going thru the lights or something else usefull to take him out..

secondly if your meant to hack everything why do i have a arsenal like Arnold in Commando under my trench coat?

because who in their right mind can pull out an ACR, accurately shoot someones tires out, while controlling a speeding car? There really is no need to shoot out of your car in this game. If you can control traffic lights, blockers, spikes, and steam pipes that's all you need. You have an arsenal like Arnold for missions like Rossi-Freemont.

Re: Watch Dogs

Finished the game last night. I thought that this game had a wonderful story with great background and intrigue. However, I felt that it was going for an emotional aspect, sort of like That Last of Us, but I really didn't connect emotionally with Watch Dogs like I did with TLOU. However, I do have a question for those that have beaten the game.

Spoiler

At the very end, did you kill Maurice or let him live. I sat there for a good five minutes before I let him live. The only reason I let him live was I felt that Aiden gave me the indication that he wanted Maurice to live. Towards the middle of the game he kept questioning his decisions to kill people, especially after Jacks saw him kill the Club members.

killed that motherf****....I think probably I was still upset with jordi turning on me. I also attempted at first to shoot Damien in the dick. Haha

I also just completed the main story and and have done 0 side stuff. Which is the best? I've heard gang hideouts are fun.

Aiden seems pretty good with these guns so if we are going that route im sure he would be able too..

yea i get it you can hack things to take them out, but sometimes you just have to shoot, otherwise why wouldn't I just take them out from the safety of my base of operations.. using cameras around the city to follow them.

by the looks of how Aiden takes people down hes got some hand to hand combat training along with a decent knowledge of how to use a gun, at the VERY least let him shoot off of a bike.

this game has good potential but it just doesn't have the "OMG" factor for me, if I don't take it seriously its a blast but it has some wrinkles I hope get ironed out in the following versions.

CONS:
- Aiden is so far a pretty boring character, he needed to be developed with a bit more backstory. Why is he so good at combat, why did he start hacking, etc

- Should be able to shoot out of cars..period

- I shot a guy in an ally with a sniper rifle, those are VERY loud (it echo'd in game even), did the cops show up? NOPE I even stood around while i went to the kitchen to get a drink. If I can use the cameras to watch why don't they?

- When the cops DO chase you why aren't they using the blockers and spike strips too stop me? is that not why they installed these things?

- Needs more traffic, the car pile up from the e3 demo was awesome and I'd like to see more of those pileups(specially downtown or high traffic areas)

- more pedestrians.. pretty self explanatory city feels dead

- more "random" crimes, this will come with time good start but repetitive

- too much ammo, never feel like im out gunned.. also should really only have maybe 2 guns on him (realistic setting?)

- soundtrack, but it can be turned off and i listen to my own music anyway

- the hacking mini game, honestly i may be getting old but i dont care for those kinds of things

- if i shoot a guy in the leg or abdomen they should AT LEAST be running MUCH slower

- A motorcycle shouldnt be bulldozing thru everything, neither should cars.. as my buddy said when i stole a flatdeck "if the FIAT can take out almost everything, this should go thru buildings"

- No closure on side missions

- I can see and hear everything, I dont need to tail people on foot and on top of that how would they know who I am unless I give them reason to suspect me


BUT I don't feel like I got ripped off and its a good game

I think shooting from cars or bikes takes away from the overall point of this game. It's different from your standard GTA or Saints Row. It gives you other options from riddling a car with bullets. When I'm being chased by the militia or the club, it's nice knowing I can pull a traffic light or blow up a steam pipe to stop them rather than hopping out and getting into a shootout. I've done a few missions where I've fired, at the most, maybe 4-5 bullets. I did a gang hideout where the only bullets I fired were into the tires of a fleeing van. It's nice to kill people with your phone instead of guns.

I'm not disputing that but the option should be there, I LOVE the blackout tech it reminds me of splinter cell.. I try to use stealth as much as possible but when things go wrong!

Re: Watch Dogs

How many hands does he have? Driving, hacking, and shooting? Or just driving and hacking or shooting?

Re: Watch Dogs

I just don't like being shot at but can't shoot back. Kind of meh.... and we should really avoid the whole "unrealistic" argument. Considering I can use my focus and slow down time and turn into a spider etc etc.

well thats a pretty simple solution, can do one or the other... secondly I cant text and drive at high speeds never mind hack something..

Right. It just seems like a design/gameplay decision.

It is they said so, BUT in my opinion you should have the choice

I let him live. It would have been really hard to kill him after listening to all of his burner phones.

I listened to him talk for a minutes, whenever a game ends like this I love hearing what the person about to die has to say. Right after he called Aiden selfish, I popped him in the back of the head. I rationed that everyone that has died because of Aiden, would've died for no reason if he didn't finish off his original plot.

Well, I want GTA to not have stiff controls and to feature competent melee/fighting mechanics.

Sometimes we never get what we want.
