Traded in for Wolfenstein!!

I tried man. I gave it a go an errything. It was just...nonsensical.

Some people are going full retard over this. The depth of field effects are off because it's retarded blurring some of the screen, for no gameplay purpose, when you don't know where the player is looking. Some of the missing effects freak out in conjunction with other missing effects on some setups.

Besides that, who skips buying a game for their console because the PC version that looks better looks even better? What's the motive?

I'm really enjoying this after is took me while to get into it. The protagonist is the worst amalgam of tortured action heroes with a past-complete with stock gravel voice, and the story tests your boredom gland at times but it's a little cracker. Loads of options with the hacking during gunplay, solid driving mechanics, great online options and you defo get your money's worth.

Upon reading this thread back a few pages, I wish I had curbed my enthusiasm. That said, fuck it, good game!

*hides in "bunker"*

Good on ya Spock, gamings awesome at the moment.

Good to hear that! I'm looking forward to picking it up on PS Plus in a few months time (I suspect it will be a likely candidate, like Sleeping Dogs was).

Can someone explain the online hacking thing to me please?

The hacking gets broken down into two groups: tailing and hacking. In both cases you are dropped into another player's city. They usually don't know you are coming but occasional they will get a heads up that another hacker is after them or if they have a bounty on their heads they'll be paranoid anyways. They target will be going about their general gameplay, wandering about or driving or even in the middle of a shoot out with cops or gangs. To profile you simply have to stay within a close (ish) distance to your target and have either eyes or a camera on them. Hit 100% without being spotted and you pass. The target should never even know you were there. You will be targeted for profiling quite regularly and never even know it.
Hacking is different. You must get close enough to your target to hack their phone. You then have a minute (I think) to begin the full hack. The target now knows you're there but not where you are. Once you initiate the full hack the target gets an approximate location for you on the map which shrinks over time as your hack percentage increases. Hit 100% and you win and your game worlds split.
In both cases if you are spotted you need to run. The hacker cannot attack the target but the target can and will kill you. This can lead to some great chases across the city as you try to get away or chase each other. It's my favourite part of the game by far. Sneaking up on people and watching them goof around in the own worlds is great fun as is the buzz of trying to find your hacker as the clocks ticks away.

It's great fun. Keep an eye for profilers following you. Watch and listen for strange things. Cars abandoned in the road, crashes, broken scenery. I spotted one guy just by his bad driving. Was standing on a long straight road and heard him coming from a mile away, revving and swerving through the traffic. Fired at him before I'd even profiled him. When the kill came up I jumped off the sofa. Cool moment.

That sounds amazing! I'm quite tempted to buy it tomorrow now!

There's achievements and unlocks for tailing and hacking and a separate score system which leads to even more unlocks and another achievement. They are really hard to get though tbh. The higher your score the bigger the target you become and the better the hacker are that will come after you. Usually. You do get some that are complete buffoons and others who are apparently psychic and know where you are before you do. I got sniped by a guy from miles away as I tried to catch up with him on the freeway.

So I bought this. I can't shoot and drive... But its alright. I think?

Is online hacking when somebody has a purple bit over their head and you shoot them in the face? Maybe i'm just coming across idiots.

My PS4 owning mate was asking what we could co-op now I have a PS4 also and said he had Destiny unopened. Sounded like a good thing for us to play through the story together so I grabbed that and this in the 2 for £10 deal at Game. Had a go of Watch Dogs last night and it seems alright so far.

I was expecting a broken mess from the bad rep it seems to have, I'm pleasantly surprised.
