Watch Dogs

well I am in work now so have the Uplay issues been fixed? got to say.... its so frustrating that these major company's are failing huge at preparing for the server hit, not sure how often this needs to happen for them to start doing some real stress tests to manage to volumes better.
 
Okay.

Not sure if this wasn;t working correctly last night but I could not find a way to select a friend from my friends list that I wanted to hack/stalk.

Very disappointing if you cannot do that.
 
it was broken, not sure how you didn't notice this when the whole internet has been going crazy and the game would never connect to Uplay.

Nice screenshot Murray, the searching for players to hack.... did you ever go beyond that? I don't think mine ever connected to anyone else's game. As for the road eating the car...fairly common glitch these days :)
 
I haven't been able to find a game since yesterday morning and I haven't had someone else connect to me since then either.

Maybe because I don't live on the internet... and was too busy playing the game.
 
the system definitely hasn't been thought through.

You need to be able to opt in or out of the hacking MP stuff so you can free roam in the sandbox and get on with the campaign without interuptions.

Equally, if one of your friends is up for a bit of fun, you should be able to pick them from your list and choose who to target.

You can turn it off, go into options, gameplay and turn it off.

Yes I agree, you should be able to choose from your friends if they are playing and invade them, would be so much fun.
 
So do I need a uplay account in order to do any of the mini games and online stuff? None of those seemed to work for me yesterday, but it also said that ubisoft servers were down, so not sure if it was just that or whether I also need a uplay account?
 
I think opting out of mp means you miss out on some reward don't you?

I'd read on here further back that if you opt out of it, it resets your skills back to zero while your opted out, which is stupid.

First review.

This is pretty crappy

One huge caveat/punishment Ubisoft implemented is when you do turn off the Online Option, all your skills accumulated are reset to zero. You read that right. They all get reset to zero. All the online-specific skills reset to zero as punishment for not wanting to play online, something which is entirely disappointing. Either you keep getting invaded, or you get punished for wanting to play sometimes and not other times with the online mode.

What is quite rare for an open world game is I'm actually enjoying pretty much every side mission/mini game. The cup game was quite challenging and I had a good time doing the chess challenges!
