Had some problems logging int he first two days, but after the initial rush was over everything has been working smoothly.
I need to get back to story missions…
Takes all kinds to make society possible…Sick bastards. At least it’s only in a video game (hopefully).
Zero problems with UPlay so far. The one time the servers seemed to be down, uplay let me run in offline mode.
Are you seriously calling people playing a video game differently than you sick bastards?
Meh just sounds like bait to me. A bunch of people running around doing offensive stuff for the sole purpose of trying to offend you. It’s best not to pay attention to them let alone get offended. They’re really not sick bastards, just attention desperate.
For those who really wish to end the stuttering on PC, I got the best results at (and only) the following settings:
1280x1024,
Refresh Rate=75 (might need to add this res in GPU control panel first)
(temporarily setting your windows desktop to this resolution somewhat helps, don’t forget the refresh rate too)
vsync=off,
textures High,
antialiasing=OFF,
prerendered frames=5,
detail=medium,
AO = OFF, (MHBAO is also acceptable, but will stutter while driving)
shadows=medium,
reflections=medium,
DoF=on,
mBlur=Off,
water=high,
shaders=low
Fullscreen= ON(not windowed or borderless)
you’re all welcome… if your aspect ratio is wrong just set to 16:9 or 16:10 in the game display settings
tested stutter-free on a q9550@3.4Ghz,4GB 800Mhz,OCZ Vertex 2 and Radeon 7870 2GB Ghz edition (powercolor)Catalyst 14.6 beta drivers
I also flashed the vBIOS on my GPU to a more recent one with uEFI support added, but this step is totally optional and didn’t make any difference in performance, at least I hope.

Some people have apparently been getting a decent performance boost by disabling GPU audio drivers, even if they weren’t being used for audio
Amusing as hell 
I think it’s called “roleplay” The funniest ones were “conspiracy theorist” and “9/11” survivor, even though cruel.
Not the act of DOING it (I’ve rampaged through GTA plenty of times) but the bragging and posting of videos on it is kinda sick. I rampage, indiscriminately, when I’m bored sometimes. I don’t go and tell a bunch of people that I blew up a bunch of guys cause they looked like this or believed in that etc.
Believe me, rampages can be freaking fun. I just don’t think it should be sensationalized.
Haha, I love the reaction to that video. It’s that kind of white knight reaction that fuels the internet, so I’m happy for that at least.
It’s a video game, it was probably done as a joke, and I chuckled. I also laugh at racist and sexist jokes, but I find it funny because that’s not how I actually am. People can do or whatever they want in the game; if they want to roleplay different characters with different prejudices, that’s pretty cool. If they wanna film a humorous montage of “making the world a better place,” they can go for it. If one is, in reality, a racist bigot who thinks the world would be a better place without gays or black people and lives out his or her terrible fantasy in-game, all the more power to them.
It’s a video game, and as long as people keep it to virtual reality I really don’t see the issue.
EDIT: In fact, I play video games because I want to experience a “life” that isn’t mine. So I really don’t see the problem.
People did it to get attention and cause the writing of that article. I was even on a forum where people were making a bunch of videos of this stuff and sending them to Kotaku so they’d write an article about it. Not to get themselves attention (though as I said earlier in this post it was kind of for that as well, but more so to get attention and get people like those saying the people making the videos are sick bastards angry) but to make Kotaku look stupid since Kotaku is known for writing these articles that are more about sensationalism against people they don’t agree with rather than actually about video games.
I have been playing the digital trip Alone minigame. You have to sneak through the city in the dark to turn off generators that are making it dark while evading robots with flashlights for heads. It’s really creepy, really frustrating, and quite a bit of fun
If it’s on uPlay, there’s some motivation for me to play it; it looks pretty fun anyway, but I’d rather not have to put up with Steam’s inability to have a functioning offline mode.
Steam offline mode works perfectly fine for me…
Not if your game “needs” an update. The one reason I use offline mode is because I don’t have the bandwidth or the time to be constantly updating shit.
Move to Canada, here we have unlimited unthrottled 10mbps cable internet for 40$/month.
The Alone digital trip minigame gets harder and harder, adding another robot spawn every time you walk a certain distance for every generator you shut down. I don’t think I can push through all of these locations…
I started killing them grabbing items and leaving the zone until I had five emp pulses and just using emp pulses while sprinting until i reached the generator.
