Goddamn
Nerdy shy ass? Try stoic. The romance between Aiden and Clara was only implied at best, if developers meant for it to be bigger then they would have made it so.
Yes, the story was awkward but for other reasons. The game itself lacks interest. After the main plot, there is little to no motivation for doing the rest of the stuff in the game. Beat the game last night and probably won't be touching it again ever.

no it doesnt look amazing. it looks terrible compared to what they showed at E3. thx console players / buyers.

The story is awkward but for entirely different reasons
+ Show Spoiler +They basically spend large parts of the game setting up Blume as this big evil organization that you need to fight only for you to basically ignore them the entire time and nothing comes of it so when the game ends you are basically going "wait that's it... what about all that stuff blume was doing... oh watch dogs 2"

You can be stoic, without acting shy around a woman about needing her help and you enjoying her company because of her expertise and, implicitly, because you guys jive well together; regardless of the overplayed romanticism it hints at. It's just pathetic that he has no outward dimension that makes him a remotely likable person given his cause for "revenge". It's blaze and the hacking is just a niche in an otherwise overplayed tune of a story. Aiden's "stoic" doesn't help his cause and I would just call it being an anti-social twit.
Saying he's stoic to compensate for his complete lop-sidedness of a personality and ability to be social without a backstory to justify it is flat-out exaggerating.
The story is awkard because it is like Aiden: lop-sided and the characters are two-dimensional.

Agree, he's a shit character. Shy isn't what I'd describe him as though.

Fair enough actually. I just feel that whole exchange between him and Clara really cringe and awkward.

What sucks the most for Watch Dogs is that it's now become the modern gaming example for, 'Promised X, got Y' - a dubious honour previously held by Fable/Peter Molyneux. Ubisoft's E3 press conference was great (I thought) and showed off some awesome trailer/gameplay footage - but the collective gaming communities response is a comment about Watch Dogs looking great - being shit.

Been playing this over the last few days, and while the hacking stuff is pretty fun, I too feel it under-delivered when compares to the hype it generated at E3 last year.  I will reserve my final judgement until I finish the game, but yeah, I'm not wowed by it so far.

I think I'm at the end of Act II. The missions so far and pretty lackluster admittedly and the AI is pretty depressing when you can snipe, hide, snipe and hide and nobody panics as everyone around them loses their legs...

another meh hyped game with dumb AI...

Finished the game on PC, got some 2-3k reputation from hacking/tailing tediously. The game is good but everything around it sucks A LOT.
It's a bit like Battlefield 3, or as I call it the last Battlefield I'll ever buy, the gameplay is smooth enough, kinda simplistic with the "F" take down instant kill melee people are either good or bad and you can't "F" a civilian in the face, no punch in the face possibilities or shooting from a vehicle if you are the driver ala GTA 5 which is all fine by me, always one hand on the smartphones, OK. Mini-games are nice between the multiple betting/chess/obstaclerun and the virtual trips and gives some more playtime as solo.
But at the end of the day I got Watch_Dogs for a multiplayer with coop and seeing the last few trailers with online decryption and all I thought it would be great to play with a group of 3-4 friends with some kind of objectives but everything surrounding the multiplayer non 1v1 game sucks HARD. On PC it's near impossible to join a public session of online decryption or race and no satisfactory answer or fix has been done in the client/launcher part of the game. I can create a private session and play alone but not join a public session and the 1v1 tailing/hacking option result 80% in a freeze of the game.
Want to know what they recommend doing to maybe make it work online?

Watch_Dogs Multiplayer ports
UDP: 9000, 9103, 11000, 11001, 11002, 11005
Uplay Launcher
TCP: 80, 443, 13000, 14000, 14008
Yes they are telling everyone to disable anything protecting your network/computer and open 11 differents ports, that's pretty common from software firm and especially game developers but they also recommend removing anything that start at the PC boot fiddling with setup in MSCONFIG so it's sure than nothing launch before Uplay and they ask you fuck up your Hosts file in windows in the french one...
I mean my PC is not going to be setup so that Uplay/watch_dogs can do what 99% of games with online interaction can naturally without setups, by disabling everything except Ubisoft shits. I even have some custom rules in Hosts file that I need for other use.
So 1st I have no intention of doing any of the shits outside of port redirection but it solves nothing and my 3-4 friends are even less likely to try to make it work after all the frustration the game created.
It's probably a great game on consoles...

So close to 100%ing the game, but the goddamn drinking game is too hard for me. I don't seem to have the coordination to keep both joysticks in the circles at the same time.

What a strange game, it's so polarizing how sympathetic he is and yet robs people thousands of dollars at a click of a button.

That minigame is super easy with a mouse/keyboard. Didn't have the slightest trouble with it.

Bum-rushing this storyline. I have a feeling it doesn't get any better in terms of plot. I'm at the Kenny part and to be honest; I'm sorry for ranting even more, but Aiden is the worst main character I've ever played with.
I literally can't think of anyone worst than Aiden. He is such a cheap protagonist.

That's the most shameful thing I've seen done in gaming in a while.
You're not getting my money ever again Ubisoft.
The worse part is that the game apparently run better with all the graphical effects back.

I saw this, was pretty intrigued, anyone try it and does it work better?

I torrented this last week, and I do not understand the missions where you're supposed to hit a convoy and kill everyone EXCEPT 1-2 special dudes. Its so fucking hard to not just waste everyone. Even on accident. The first one took me a solid 25 tries. Its frustrating and stupid. If these guys are such scumbags, why can't I just fucking kill them?
