How do you go into other people's game to try and hack them? Do you have to complete a certain mission before you can do this?
Press up on your dpad and select 1v1 hacking on the map, this will have you enter as the hacker.

Also you sometimes get offered it while playing.

I find it quite fun, however infuriating at times! Someone's managed to jump right over my head before and managed to miss me.
 
Anyone having any luck getting into online decryption? Been trying loads tonight and can't ever find a game.

I was struggling to connect to uni servers earlier so I reckon it's struggling under the number of people. I've only tried 1v1 hacking thus far online.


Also: my pro tip is to use a silenced gun for a lot of missions, can easily pick off the goons without getting caught :p. Also remember gun you pick up means you own it.
 
Really enjoying this, decided to give it ago despite not enjoying the assassins creed games and its much better

Not had any big issues but I'm struggling to get online but I'll put that down to launch day as per most games these days.

One funny glitch I had was I killed a guard next to a door and when I opened the door he had sort of combined with it and got launched into the air.

So far its good and I like the city but I'm only a few hours in and have spent most of my time doing side mission, despite what they want it is very GTA like and that's not a bad thing as the hacking adds a new element that I really enjoy, my biggest gripe is the small amount of music in the cars as I would have liked a GTA style chat radio as I always enjoyed them so I currently don't have music on.

Would be nice to see the interior views improved with a patch and a few things have white outlines on then (even with my TVs sharpness turned down) and a few textures are just a bit of a letdown but it makes up for it by seeming like a city with life, I enjoyed infamous but it never felt like a real city in anyway where as this does.... Even down to a couple arguing and she said he wasn't a man so he hit her and asked if that was man enough, little touches that are not essential but add a bit of personality to a game.
 
Yep, seems Ubi servers have been getting hammered since about dinner time! It was fine earlier in the day, got into a 1v1 hacking game in seconds earlier (guy caught me, was hiding in a shop and an NPC blocked the exit so he just happened to what into where I was crouched :( ). Loving this game, so so much better than AC:BF.

You seem to get more music by hacking it from people :)

Yeah about 25 extra songs, more would be nice but there's some good ones.

Funny to look at the pc forum and see the last 2 pages complaining about driver /sli/game bugs, glad I'm not a pc games! :p

My favourite character in this game is definitely T-bone (act 3 I think)
 
How's this running on the new console guys? Apparently PC's on Ultra are struggling even with Titans. I'd assume the new gen cons9ole are medium settings?

No idea but looks pretty good on ps4, could be near on high settings. it's silky smooth performance though.. let's put it this way, I don't feel upset its 30 fps at 900p as tbh I can't tell any difference sat away from my 40" telly.. I plonked the disc in, downloaded a 100mb patch which took around 5 mins and been enjoying the game ever since... no problems.
 
Get a bit of slowdown with the grenade launcher and killing a lot of civilians on my xbox one game earlier, although I did have 5* wanted and lots of coppers after me..

Sometimes I've found irregular slowdown even in non demanding sections which is odd. Overall very stable tho.
 
I was debating whether to get this or not earlier, and when the wife came home she had bought me it from Tesco's, great success :D

Downside is I only got to play it for a couple of hours earlier on this afternoon as I am currently stuck at work on a 12 hour night shift.

However, first impressions were very good. I had no issues earlier with getting online. My favourite bits so far are the online 1v1, and I did a surveillance one, cant think what they called it now, but you have to observe them for a little while without being scanned. Anyway, I am sitting in my car when the person comes walking up to the car and at this point I think I am rumbled. They pull me out of the car and then just walk off. Obviously had no idea what they were doing :D

The 1v1 is great as well. Sat hiding in a car and was great fun watching this other person run around like a lunatic trying to find me!
