I might have to do that. I can’t see a way to sneak around the 7 to 10 robots that I need to face with each spawn now.
The other digital trips are quite fun too. Well, not the one where you bounce from flower to flower. that one kinda sucks. But the car rampage and spider tank are fun.
hacked all of the Alone generators. That last one was a doozy, as I was having trouble collecting EMPs, and just went for it. Finally got it.
I am now 112 hours into the game and only 22% finished 
So, is it good, then? Is it safe for me to crack my LE box?
I enjoy it a lot. Whether or not you do is up to you. 
I’m loving the shit out of it. I did have to kill some prison guards, but I will get over it. Love this game
Is it good? Yes. Is it worth whatever you spent on a LE box? Probably not. Send the LE back and buy a regular version if not wait for a sale.
Angry Joe gives it a 7/10. Very entertaining with a little more problems than he would like.
^ Sounds a lot like the original Assassin’s Creed in terms of repetitive gameplay. Well then again, you CAN swim…
Honestly, I don’t see a lot of what he said as negatives as far as gameplay. Yes, the water exploit is ridiculous, the invisible walls might exist but it’s mostly just spaces you can’t fit through or are just out of reach, and the soundtrack is hipster as fuck and should be traded out for a new one. But other than that, I’m giving the game a 9/10 so far (I’m still not halfway done with it ).
Plus, I really liked AC1. The storyline was interesting. It doesn’t hold up well after a few years though, that’s more AC II’s thing. But yeah, I’ll have to start playing Watch Dogs soon.
I’d give this game a 6/10, honestly. And that is generous, coming from me.
The gameplay was okay, but definitely not what we had been led to believe we would get. The hacks were fun and all, but lost their novelty pretty quickly (a lot of them were either things that exploded or hacks that let you take down cars you pursue). Not enough things to drive (you get some cars and some boats). The weapons were boring to use, there just weren’t enough weapon choices, and the world’s diversity was so shallow, you’re either walking around in some ghost town where there’re only apartments to see for miles, or you’re in the big part of Chicago with the skyscrapers and all. Oh, and the story is pretty boring.
Actually, when I look at it twice, diversity is really what this game needs. More weapons, more vehicles, bigger and more diverse open world, and most importantly, more hacks that do more than just “wow explosion” or “get rekt car”.
As I said, 6/10, it’s an okay game. I’d say you shouldn’t pay more than 20-25$ for it tho.
Cracked LE packaging, ripped the OST first before beginning the install. I’ve tempered my expectations to hopefully avoid being completely disillusioned by the whole thing, and merely expect something along the lines of a typical quality AC title. As long as it’s better plotted and executed than Assassin’s Creed III, I think I’ll be happy.
The soundtrack is pretty fucking cool.
I definitely enjoyed the game FAR more than I enjoyed AC3. That thing was a fairly huge letdown to me…
I’d probably enjoy drinking my own piss far more than playing AC3
It would certainly be less of a bitter swill, that’s for sure…
I watched the entire video. I loved your reaction to the first use of a firearm
You can actually complete that first ctOS base without entering it, all through camera use. They aren’t all that easy, some are a lot more secure and will require interaction with the guards, but I completed all of them without actually killing anyone.
I did start killing though, one mission forced me to enter a room with a lot of guards that I couldn’t takedown without dying, so I lit them up, but it’s still very rare that I feel the need to resort to that.
It doesn’t matter how beefy your rig is, I got pretty much exactly the same results on DDR2 RAM and an AMD graphics card, I think it’s just mostly optimized for 8 gigs of unified memory, which the traditional desktop PC only has 2 to 16MB of. (L2/L3 cache).
And yes the settings in my previous post do in fact mitigate the 10second long pauses while the disk catches up with the engine due to the engine trying to load too many things in while not having enough entropy to choose which random facts to give to which random NPC’s on the road.
Yeah some of them present interesting little puzzle scenarios that are quite clever. I’m fairly impressed that they were able to come up with some of the things that they did, given such a simplistic hacking mechanic.
That said, I wasn’t able to figure out how to remotely hack one of the ctOS bases without stepping foot inside (like I did for the rest of them), so instead, I grabbed a sniper rifle, found a nice vantage point, and took out all the guards from a distance (much to their confusion). I found that to be equally fun.
Let me guess, the one at the refinery?
