The hype for this new game "forum" must be unreal

No takers on this?
We had two threads on this one issue and the prevailing wisdom was to wait for release. Well the game's out there now, so does anybody know if those initial impressions were correct? Does any accrued notoriety get wiped as soon as you opt out of the online invasion stuff?

I would like to help you, because i like your webms but i can't.
Thanks amazon for torturing me with the delivery date.

Well I have to say... I'm loving this game right now... I'm in a very Splinter Cell-esque part (don't want to spoil it) and I'm loving every second of it

I would prefer to game on a PC, if I had the money, and physical space for it.
If all you need to upgrade are those two pieces, yep, cheaper than PS4. Don't know the performance of that combo with this game, but if it's good, that's great.
If you have to start a PC from scratch though, you're not getting PS4 performance complete build for $399.99.
Your two piece combo right now is $370.
I would have to build from scratch, so, I'm happy with Watch Dogs on PS4. Looks good, seems people who have it think it plays well enough too. Eventually I'll build a new rig.

Was thinking exactly the same thing.
Just like anything released people find ways to get their hands on legit copies early. just because they are playing it early doesn't mean it's pirated.

Though, lets be real here there are quite a few people running pirated copies

Also quite a few people unknowingly mining bitcoins apparently.
Wait until you have a next gen console or PC.
While I'm not going to float any accusations, it was clear early on that some people had a pirated version of the game. I don't take issue with it but it's simply a reality.

I'd like to know this as well. I looked up some PS3 footage on youtube and the textures were LOL-worthy, but I'm going to grab it anyway simply because I want to play the game. If I like it enough, I'll re-purchase when I get a PS4 later this year.
This may come as a shock, but some people actually enjoy AC3. I know opinions, crazy right.

Let's be real...the ratio of legit early buyers to pirates is probably 1:50 at best

Alright who made the doge image in the spread sheet ? cause that is neat.
Obviously, but I like to think those stealing the game are in the minority.
Am I pointing fingers and laughing at anyone for liking it? I'm just stating why I'm a tad skeptical. I feel more positive about Watch_Dogs than I did a month ago if it's any consolation.

I just fell off my chair.
Opinions are fine. But the reviews of the game didn't match those differing opinions, they were consistently, and universally, very positive about the game. The only mentions made of AC3's shortcomings were made a year later, in AC4's reviews, for the sake of comparison.. not in the original AC3 reviews. We'll probably see the same thing here, glowing reviews, and only when WD2 comes out as next-gen exclusive will they finally acknowledge that the first game didn't look so hot.

He's a happy man. Too happy...
This is the exact reason I'll be turning invasions off immediately.

You're the AT&T of people
Just tested this and yep, I get the same message we'd seen before:
I haven't clicked ok and gone back to playing but I'd assume you'd be able to re-unlock them should a player wish to turn it back on later. Your notoriety continually goes up and down though depending on how you perform. If you successfully hack someone for example you'll gain points. Gain enough to reach each milestone and you'll unlock some of the skills like these 2:
but if you get caught/killed or whatever you'll actually lose notoriety points too (likewise if you kill someone I think) and can even lose an unlock that way too if it knocks you below the required amount.
Not sure if the anti-vehicle rounds (the first notoriety unlock) affect the game in single player too or whether it's just multiplayer but some of them do say "online", like the nitro boost as pictured.

What is the confirmed install size on PS4? Want to make room since my stock HDD is full.
If you aren't getting a next-gen system any time soon, might as well play the game now.

It means that you're probably either all in or all out. No playing it for a while and then disabling invasions to play some campaign in peace and then jumping back in to it - not without starting from zero every time.
What a crazy system to have in place.
Thanks for checking it out.
The only good part is you can't be invaded if you're on a mission.
This is one of the most posted in OT's pre-game release I feel. Thirst for next gen titles is real?
Still debating, right now I'm playing AC4 and loving it, so looking at Watch Dogs compared to it just seems uninspired. Maybe I'll be swayed by reviews... initial impressions seem good enough.

For the multiplayer hacking can you choose to hack specifically friends or is it always a random person? Can I continually tail hack friends when they're online?
Only random, to keep players from routinely griefing specific people.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I actually think AC3 is the best in the series.

K, how is the impressions looking then? Is it just another typical Ubisoft open world game as per?
Yes.

Hehe. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
Since this will affect unlocks I can't see myself doing this much, but I'll certainly do it once or twice just to see what kind of hate message I receive.

I think if I were to give them the benefit of the doubt that they maybe made it this way so that people would not be able to just keep it off all the time and turn it on just to invade someone and then turn it immediately back off. Not saying they couldn't have come up with a better system but I think that may have been the motivation. If everyone kept their invasions off until they wanted to invade someone the system would break down pretty quickly. Overall though if its like someone else suggested and the only abilities it disables are ones that only affect you in multiplayer then I'm fine with it, if you have to do multiplayer stuff to get everything available for use in single player, ME3 style, then I will be annoyed.
I'm getting it on 360. Something is going to have to come out and be jaw dropping before I put down on a Ps4. I'm convinced that will be awhile.
here is a link to some of my first impressions: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=113314507&postcount=5115
Seems to be mostly positive.

Imo it's not a typical Ubisoft game because the side missions and mini games are fun as hell (compared to AC or Far Cry 3).
