Watch Dogs PS4 Exclusive Content

[Sledgstone 8,672]

You're to nice to these criminals. I know it's better for reputation to take them down without killing them, but once they start shooting at me I either gun them down or run them over.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

I use to do that, but I like the better rewards. I've yet to die doing it that way... plus its better than someone freaking out and calling the cops. A police evade is more trouble than chasing someone down.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Heres a couple videos I took:

 

 

And my IED / C4 Jeep:

 

 

I had an epic one of these, but the PS4 didn't save it. I'll have to work on getting a better video.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

LMAO, I don't know how you didn't die jumping out of a car and having the oncoming car hit your car door as you were leaping out.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I don't know either. Lol. If I wasn't hit by the car I could have exploded the bomb while I was rolling on the ground instead of having to wait until I started to get up. I've jumped out of moving vehicles repeatedly in this game and I've never died yet because of it. I even hit a lamp post with my spine and survived.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

 

I got the "Black Hat Trick" Trophy for killing 3 enemies with 1 IED. There was no 10 minute car chase this time.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

Way to kill the civilian

 

Grats on the trophy, got mine doing a campaign mission last night (it's in act 2, you'll understand what one when you do it if you haven't already).

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I know right.. lol. That poor bastard was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'll have to stop some more criminals to get my rep back up.

I'm still in act 1. I'm starting to focus on the campaign again.. I have been doing side quests to get skill points and better weapons before I get to more challenging areas. Have you done online free roam yet? I've made a private session with my brother over the weekend, and while it's fun to play together, we didn't run into a single fixer... so we shot at the police just to get some action. Lol. I think we were supposed to get a fixer contact through the menu now that I'm thinking about it. Oh... and don't bother doing the regular online free roam.. It's basically multiplayer.. nobody works together on it and you'll be constantly run over by other players vehicles.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

Nah, I haven't done free roam yet. Been to busy getting side tracked with side missions, private intrusions, and what have you. I just recently started doing the campaign push so I can get this beaten as fast as possible since the Destiny Beta comes out on July 17 and I have been feeling the need to play some BF4 lately (just got the itch again, plus Dragon's Teeth should be right around the corner).

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I understand that. I'm feeling the BF4 itch also. I don't know when dragons teeth comes out, but I want to have watch dogs beaten by then so I can dedicate my time to the new bf4 dlc assignments.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

Rumor had it that is was supposed to be this month but I haven't heard anything concrete. I'm hoping it'll be soon because once the beta for Destiny starts that's all I'll be playing. Plus both Dragon's Teeth and Final Stand are supposed to be out during the summer so you'd think DT would be soon if they want to get FS out before September. Who know, this is DICE we're talking about.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

True, my guess is we'll get DT sometime this month or next and the last DLC in September. If we don't get that last DLC by September than DICE will have really screwed up because Hardline will be out in October and I doubt Visceral will want DICE still doing Battlelog updates for BF4 DLC while they're fixing Hardline bugs.

It looks like Watch Dogs did get a graphics downgrade. With the better graphics turned on the PC version it looks like the higher quality we saw in the early trailers for the game.

 

And the follow up article.. According to Ubisoft these settings caused the game to be unstable:

But from what other people are saying, thats not the case at all.. and the game runs significantly better with the enchanced graphics on.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

 

So far I think this is the best vehicle in the game. You get it after chasing down its owner in a mission. It has max stars on everything except durability in which is has 4 stars. I'll order this car prior to starting any deadsec exclusive contract from now on.

If it were green It would remind me of the car from That 70's Show.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I was thinking that too! A Vista Cruiser!?

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

I actually had a good car when I was chasing this one down and was like WTF? How is a damn station wagon leaving me in the dust? Now I know

I didn't understand palace pack 1 and 2 downloads as I only ever did one mission, now it will be for everyone tomorrow.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

Palace Pack 1 was the mission DLC and Palace Pack 2 was just the ATM Hack boost, which for some reason was a separate download. I read some other article that made it sound like these DLC missions would be free, but it looks like they'll be available for purchase separately or with the season pass. It seems like the only Watch Dogs DLC that is worth any money is the one single player campaign DLC that lets you play as T-Bone Grady.. but I think that is only available for season pass purchases.

[Strider Hiryu 2,704]

Yea I thought it was weird they split the pack into 2 separate downloads like that. Makes you think you're getting 2 missions instead of one. I never noticed the other pre-order stuff being up last week for download and I'm a season pass holder. Would of probably been more into playing last week had I actually known (currently taking a break since family is up visiting and I'll keep them up all night if I play while they're sleeping).

 

I think the T-Bone DLC will be accessible to everyone, I just think season pass holders will get a hold of it earlier then the rest of those who decided not to shell the money out for it. Plus I think the season pass was just a way of making people pay up front for the pre-order bonuses to get them earlier and at a discounted price over everyone else ($20 for all pre-order bonuses (which will most likely retail for $5 a pop) plus a single-player DLC that will probably cost up to $10 and you're looking at close to $30 or more just to pay for everything separately).

[Sledgstone 8,672]

It looks like all the pre-order bonuses are lumped into 1 DLC for $6.99, but there is also a Conspiracy Digital Trip DLC for $4.99, but the season pass is still the only way to get the T-Bone DLC so far.

If you have the season pass, you should have been able to download these already a week or two ago. You should be able to do add them to your account via the PSN store link I just posted, or through the game.. It was so annoying to try to find the BF4 DLC in the PSN store when we got them early via premium, but it looks like DLC is easily found now by going to the game in your PS4 menu, hitting down to show the game's menu, then clicking on the "add-ons" link which is a couple links below "start game". Apparently, thats how everyone accessed the Hardline beta for BF4 users during E3 before they blocked it out and forced everyone to sign up for a code instead. I looked all over the PSN store and couldn't find the damn download link but when I went to BF4 in my PS4's menu after putting the disk in, it was right there... but I was too late to get into the beta at that point. x_x

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I found a Vista Cruiser!

 

 

I finished up Act III tonight. Very fun game so far. Check out these three clips I took. lmao @ Frenemy Grenade.

 

 

 

 

LMAO! Grenade to the face!

[Sledgstone 8,672]

I beat Watch Dogs tonight. Damn that last mission.. holy crap I thought I had enough Jam Comms.. nope.

 

I have never seen so many police in this game before.. wtf. They were all over me. I had to use a jam comms every 5 seconds or so. The police took me out a couple times but thankfully I didn't have restart the other upload locations I already did. It was intense, in the end I escaped the police on a slow ass taxi boat.

Did anyone else shoot Maurice in the end? He seemed completely broken, I was tempted to walk away, but instead.. I put him down.

 

They definitely left the game open to a sequel. Overall I was pleased with the game. The campaign was great, but I wish I could have used my call a car during missions. That was the single most annoying thing in the game. Whenever I was in a mission only the crappiest vehicles were ever near me.

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

YES!!! Only shitty cars! I tried to make a habit of ordering a car before each mission but sometimes that car would just flat out disappear. 

 

I shot him quickly. Even after I find all his audio logs after the fact, I didn't feel bad about it.

 

The last mission I utilized the boat glitch. I took a boat and got to where i thought was the best straight shot to the point I needed to get to and hacked it. I ran out of jam coms by the first point so as long as I kept disabling the chopper they would have to restart the CToS scan, when they found me again I just disabled the chopper twice again until it went away. It saved me a little frustration until I dared go back on land.

[Sledgstone 8,672]

They must have fixed that glitch because I went to the water for safety numerous times, I never lost the police in the water. I disabled the helicopter until it flew away, then I'd keep boating or swimming outwards until I could find the perimeter of the police area.. it was so massive that I only saw it once and by the time I was getting close to it another police chopper would spawn from the direction I was swimming to. wtf. Even after I lost the police in the water once, they ctos scanned the water I was in. There was literally no escaping it. I lost the police once during the mission and it was on land. I disabled a helicopter, got on a boat, somehow found a blind spot near a building, but some sharp shooter cop kept almost spotting me from across the canal, so I jumped out and hid in some rocks.. I lost the police.. finally.. then no less than 5 ctos scans appeared directly over me almost immediately. wtf. I think the problem with the boats now is that as long as a cop can see you from the shore line you will never loose them now. In a canal it might work, but open water was impossible.

 

I should have recorded or streamed this mission, it was insanely frustrating. Every where I went there were hordes of police cars, directly on me or right at the shoreline.. and the police had sharp shooters shooting me in the boat from the shore. It was crazy. So I tried staying in a car.. That was so difficult. I kept using blackouts to stop the ctos scans and Damien's street hacks. It worked for a while, but I only had 4-5 of them and they also prevented me from uploading the virus if they were still active. So as soon as I got one checkpoint done, I'd blackout the area and drive like a maniac. The police killed me 3 times. The first time was before I could even get to the first checkpoint. I screwed up my jam comms and accidentally hit R1 to early in the menu which switched my jam comms to something else. I was screwed instantly. Another time I got shot to death trying to find a damn car to escape in. With as many parked cars as there are in this game, at this one check point, there wasn't a single one. wtf. The police did kill me pretty damn epically tho. lol. I stole a car and was driving like a maniac on the freeway, with a horde of police cars all over me trying to ram me off the road.. the helicopter was at a perfect angle that I couldn't disable him. The sniper in the chopper must have been using that destroyer rifle.. He shot the car twice and destroyed the engine while I was driving. I had to jump out and try to get another car, but before I could do that 4 police cars rammed me, pinned the drivers side door closed, I got out, tried running and got destroyed with a hail storm of bullets and the sniper in the chopper finished me off.

 

I'm glad it saved after each checkpoint I did, because I would have given up if I had to restart it from scratch each time I died.

 

I got used to summoning a car before every mission, most of the time it was still there and I jumped in.. but if I died at some point, the mission would restart and I'd have crap cars again.

 

My favorite car in the game was the Papavero stealth car that I unlocked via the uplay screen in the main menu. It would have been very helpful in that last mission.. but nope, I was stuck with little four door sedans.

 

The most annoying missions in this game for me were the stealth ones. Both the on foot and car stealth missions annoyed me.. You were spotted! Mission restarts from the beginning.. ugh. I did like sniping in this game, but unless you were in a red enemy zone, everyone would call the police on you in an instant. The worst skill upgrade I got has to be the slowed focus. It slows time while in focus.. I thought I'd have a matrix advantage.. nope. Even though I could look all over the place and get a perfect headshot lined up, most of the time my sniper rifle would never shoot because of the time delay. I don't know if that is on purpose of if this is a bug because I only really noticed the significant delay while using sniper rifles.
