Is Aiden even actually 'hacking' in the game? I feel like the phone Clara stole from DedSec was pre-loaded with stuff, an that's all he has to do is press a button. Aiden confirmed for script kiddie.
Its mentioned at various points in the game but when he first started he had little knowledge. Damien taught him quite a lot, and then he learned on his own. The phone he is given simply has deeper connections to ctOS than his did, which is why he can do more with it. Clara, Damien, and a few of the others in general know more, but he says himself that he was more the legwork and physical presence.

But the bits where you have to re arrange the pipes so the blue light flows in the right direction, that seems like the proper "hacking" portion imo.
Also, if they make a watch_dogs 2, I really hope DedSec is a lot more involved with the story be it you playing as a member from them or they actively try to track you down (assuming you play as Aiden again)
Yeah, it really isn't. The phone is giving him access to ctOS, hence why he can't do much without connecting to the ctOS mainframes around the city first. What he does for the most part, like the lights and such, is just playing around with the functions of ctOS.
The connection minigame is supposed to be however, and he does it a few times on his own for cutscenes and such.
I don't think Aiden himself is supposed to be the super hacker people make him to be but instead someone who works through another while still being technologically literate.

Yeah, it was pretty much estabilished during his conversations with Damien that he's the muscle during operations.

[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;45128074]I think a hacker got rid of everything I had...
He seemed to know I was there even though I hadn't even seen him, and went to an island in the middle of nowhere, where I couldn't win.
Now I just have the base pistol, the jammer, no options to hack anything, and the only hack available being the traffic lights.[/QUOTE]
Apparently this is the bug that happened, it wasnt a hacker, it was fucking incompetence.

No way to restore old saves either. Which is BULLSHIT.
[quote]• Implemented a few control improvements.[/quote]
Please tell me that means they got rid of the negative mouse acceleration and aim assist
I was currently shopping in a clothing store when suddenly a female characters runs through the backdoor with an ak. I was confused as fuck at first and took my shotgun out, gunning everything down. Then I realized that it was an actual player that tried to hack me.
The multiplayer aspect is really amazing, I like that it's pretty seamless. Once I was walking down the street and I shot out of boredom a random guy in a car and that was actually also a player that tried to approach me.
[QUOTE=riki2cool;45142814]Isn't he being censored because of his trenchcoat though? I thought there's something about the coat's material that fucks up light reflection for cameras.

That would be plausible if he was not being very obviously pixelated.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;45151296]can anyone say their performance increases with the latest patch and say if the mouse accel has been removed?[/QUOTE]
yeah when it's out
[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;45148355]Please tell me that means they got rid of the negative mouse acceleration and aim assist[/QUOTE]
I like how I have no issues with the mouse acceleration, but I have horrid issues with mouse buttons causing keyboard controls to "stick".
On the upside, right clicking while releasing the accelerator key is pretty much cruise control.

Ouch.
How the HELL do you beat the mission where Damien's like 'I've learned a lot from you' and ctOS scans you and the police show up, and you have to kill the fixers in the news van? I swear to god, I can kill the news van, but the police are impossible to lose. Is there special way to do this?
Use a muscle car to ram into the van a few times, when it blows up run over the fixer, then head towards any dock area and drive a boat around until the police give up.
It's funny being invaded and the guy who is invading you is swimming in the water.
A while ago I got invaded by a guy who was just terribly unlucky. It was the middle of the night, and he spawned in an open plaza with like four npcs total. I immediately found him and when he tried to run I just shot him in the back with the Destroyer.
That was my strategy for everything, shoot it with the Destroyer.
Anyone else get annoyed when someone you're invading instantly uses the auto-grenade launcher or an assault rifle to kill you. For me, it literally takes out all excitement of finding a hacker if you just instakill them like that, I usually just use a 1911 unsilenced against invaders. [sp]then again I pretty much only use that gun[/sp] Had some really fun chases because of it.
I've had issues with the train where sometimes the cops legibly stop the train right before the station and kill me ^.^

no dice.

That mission is ridiculous. I had to repeat it like 5 times. You basically cannot fuck up driving. I managed to lose them by grabbing a boat, disabling the helicopter and driving away. Its a bit cheap but I was going mad.
Just don't be afraid to use your focus. Stock up on focus meds. And actually use them, of course.
