Watch Dogs

So what is actually wrong with the driving mechanics? Is it not simple Right Trigger accelerate? Or is it more how the cars handle.

I thought GTA4 driving handled horribly when I first played it and this felt similar with the first impression. But like GTA4, I got used to it and think its fine now. The only open world game that felt good driving right off the bat was Sleeping Dogs.

i have no problems with the driving, the camera when driving takes a bit of getting used to but after that it's fine.

Yeah its the handling, maybe it will improve as I am still low level but the cars either dont want to turn a corner easily, sliding seems impossible or bikes that are just over sensitive in the handling.

AS I said I am low level so maybe it will improve but I have played other open world games that have had better car handling like GTA and Sleeping Dogs.

The issue is that chases can go on for a long time so its quite a big part of the game.

Still a great game and I am sure any sequel would improve on these aspects.

Why do you want to throw your controller and snap the devs neck?

Have you played the very last mission yet? It is one of the most frustrating experiences. All say this. When the game is at it's high points, it is very good. When it's at its low points, it's infuriating.

No I haven't that's why I was asking.

 

[X Knight]

I'm........not really liking it so far..........

Its easy as ****,

Spoiler

before Damien messed with the gps system memorize where the three mission markers are and you should be cool. When he does mess it up just go to the original three you remember before he ****ed things up.

Modder Finds Files for Better Graphics in Watch Dogs’ PC Version

Remember how stunning Watch Dogs looked when Ubisoft unveiled it two years ago? When the game came out last month, many players said that the visuals for the open-world game didn't live up to that original teaser. But now an intrepid modder has found hidden files that improve the way the game looks, right there in Watch Dogs' PC version.

The discovery was announced on Guru3D (and spread after posted on NeoGAF), the various files tweak shaders, NPC density, camera angles and other elements. Mod creator TheWorse also claims that the files he's unpacked improve the game's performance, too:

I'm a very obsessed person, with many things mainly graphics . Also i'm a fan of using sweetfx on every game I can use it. I like to make my own presets always.

After release and this stupid stuttering problems I started searching for fixes etc.

Then I saw many threads talking about the engine when I realized it was based on dunia 2 so I tried to unpack the files which obviously not worked.. so after searching so much for the unpacker I found it, started playing with it and after a long time of testing I ended up getting the E3 Bloom from 2012 working.

After studying how bin hex worked and downloading many tools to convert files etc, I was able to integrate and enable many effects.

The results are remarkable and are sure to give new life to arguments that Ubisoft hobbled Watch Dogs to make it viable as a release for both last-gen and new-gen consoles, as well as PC.

Ubisoft you got some 'splaining to do! t:

Thats cool altho i figured they woulda done that any way. Modders always increase a games visuals. Its like the second thing they do after they make nude models for all the female characters.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Well it's not really a mod though, it's stuff that was already in the game that means the new-gen and the PC versions probably could have been a lot closer to the E3 preview from back in the day

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Beat it and trading it tomorrow towards Dragon Age. Can't believe July and August are so barren. Only thing even remotely interesting being released those months is Sniper Elite 3.

Someone found this from the game's files:

So I purchased this a couple of weeks ago for 51 bucks. Then the game never came. Turns out that the seller was selling copies of the game that he didnt really have. I wasnt the only one who it happened to. The seller was removed from eBay and I got my money back. Just bought it again for 40 bucks. So I ended up saving some money. lol. Hope it gets here smoothly

Hah wow, what a dick. Glad you got your money back and saved some in the process.

I kind of get why they did it. If they would have left it with that quality that would have raised the recommended requirements quite a bit...sure, that would be great for a tiny niche group of players...but it would likely have effected overall PC sales...people would think their systems wouldn't be able to handle it.

It actually makes me glad I switched to console. I got sick of all the frame rate issues and hardware issues and trying to make sure my system can keep playing all the new stuff by spending hundreds on new upgrades for one or two games that actually used the higher end tech. ugh

I was the same way with GTA IV. I used to dislike driving in the game and eventually I started liking it enough to play GTA Races onlines.

This game has really just made me more excited for Akrham Knight.

Haha, just about every game is making me more excited for AK. Nothing will quench my thirst until that game comes out.

That's what the settings are for. Recommended are generally for low or normal settings. It seems like this would have been ultra-high, so it wouldn't have raised the recommended requirements any.

This game has me more excited for that and The Division.

Of all the games shown this year so far, The Division and No Man's Sky are what I'm hyped for most.

Yep. Im digging those too. My most anticipated list is growing by the damn day.

*Third* thing they do.
They do Batman and Joker mods immediately after the nekkid women mods.
