[QUOTE=Pops;44962740]how the fuck do you drive a car without the motor engine?[/QUOTE]
It's rear mid-engine? You can even see the smoke coming out of it
God damn are car chases finicky in this game. The devs wanted you to use hacking so much that they have basically not included ANY other way of actually stopping a moving car. You can't shoot and you can't ram them off the road since your car doesn't have enough weight to do that, and the way the AI is scripted they will not get out of the car unless you hack them out of it.
Stopping someone with a blocker is impressive, okay. Having to rely on either that or really weirdly handled traffic lights every single time you chase someone down gets frustrating really fast. Speaking of traffic light takedowns, has anyone else noticed how odd they look ? Basically, if there are cars in the intersection and you press X in time, the car you chase will just hop on the side to hit another car and explode into a billion pieces, despite the fact that same car will spend the entire time ramming other vehicles throughout.
They have really not put much thought into cars at all and it's kind of a shame. I know it's not the main goal of the game but it's actively turning a big portion of the game's side activities into a chore. At least driving around in first person is pleasant.
What are you talking about? Pushing target vehicles so that they hit walls can take them out, when on foot you can shoot the tires and the AI will most liekly abandon the vehicle.
Heavy vehicles also cause more collision damage so using fast heavy vehicles like the WKZ trucks or armored trucks is a ideal choice during chases/convoy missions.
IMO the car mechanics work just fine.
Yeah I learned doing convoys that if you shoot the tires out or you freak out a guard then usually the person will get out of the car and get really butthurt. Those convoys are quite stupid though when you have to target one guy and hit him with your baton when he's surrounded by an army.

Blow up the 2 support cars, headshot the driver of the main car, beat up the guy.
Repeat x20
I have a lot of fun going into focus mode then popping all of the tires on an escaping car. Too much fun.
I just ram them head on with a heavy truck.
Also really upset right now tried recording like 20 minutes of footage with NVidia Shadowplay (because Open Broadcaster Software absolutely refused to record any sort of high quality video) and apparently Shadowplay didn't fucking capture any of it.
Thanks NVidia.
I had to record my first impressions video with Shadowplay, because for some god forsaken reason DxTory makes the game crash instantly and I wasn't able to figure out a fix. The video still turned out looking pretty good though, but it's annoying how the game reaaally doesn't like DxTory.

No, you can kill the target in convoys. I do it all the time. Only side mission where you HAVE to knock them down is gang hideouts.
I was being invaded the other day, but I hadn't been notified yet. I ordered a car to be delivered and was walking toward it. I noticed what I thought was an npc running across the street, and just assumed the AI was freaking out. Though as I got closer to the car, I noticed the drop off icon went away. I approached the car and attempted to get in. I ended up pulling hacker out of the car and proceeded to run them over until they died.

Funny. A friend just recommended I try DxTory I guess I won't now.
How'd you get Shadowplay to work? Did you use the manual start/stop recording or...?

not true. it's 50/50
Still don't get the point of gang hideouts and why you have to knock out the leader when you'll just have the ability to murder everyone right after.
And apparently Chicago mobsters have a habit of carrying sniper rifles and constantly scanning the nearby area while the rest is doing absolutely jack shit in some random back alley.
are people cheating in invasions? the last two i had when it showed there location once i had been hacked i had check that lace and there was noone there

[QUOTE=Telepethi;44961978]So after watching that Russian video again that showed GTA4 and Watch Dogs side by side and the video was like "lol no real time car damage from collisions" I went and tested it myself.
Russians are full of shit.

I saw your comment then thought, "I bet jericho_rus rates this dumb" :v:
Wow, I went AFK for a little while, and I came back to being hacked and it was at 98%. :(

That would be the boot or trunk of the car.. Since the engine is in the back.
Something seems wrong with my game now. Two days ago I started getting what appear to be intense memory leaks with Watch Dogs, and I can only play for about 20 to 30 minutes before the game starts lagging and stuttering intensely to the point of being unplayable. If I restart the game it fixes itself, but I'm still on a tight leash. It' strange, because almost around the day of release, and the day after I was playing for around an hour and not many stutters.
Anybody else have the same problem, or know a fix?

Textures should be at medium, AA should be off, try playing borderless

they put the trunk in front because there's no room for it in the back...
are you serious?
The anti-hype about watchdogs is retarded, OK its no goty but maybe if the media didn't spend years hyping the shit out of this (and titanfall) maybe peoples expectations would be more reasonable
Got to do racing, that was pretty fun, I imagine it would be better with more than two players.
Does anyone else find Bedbug's profiler face to be hilarious?
It's like they tried to make a fat black guy with the biggest lips possible
