Haven't seen a thread on this but Watch dogs patch came out yesterday

- DRINKING GAMES – The Drinking Games were re-tuned based on community feedback. – (ALL PLATFORMS)


Multiplayer Added Features

Nice, I was wondering what's inside the patch when I had to download it yesterday.

Probably way to late. Is anyone still playing the game?

Thats great news. I've run out of things to do in this game.
 
Nice. Played through the game once and was done with it. Replaying Mission is something, that I wanted to do, but without having to jump into a "new game" save file.
 
Really good tweaks. I just hope more buddies play it so I can hack them. Reseting will also help me get maxed skills trophy.
 
I wonder how they've changed the drinking game. I'd probably need only an extra 4-5 seconds on each level to make things much easier.

Anyone tried it yet? I've got a weekend away but will probably give it a go again next week.

Edit: just checked the link:
. - Increase round fail time by 20%. More time for player to finish.
- Increase button cycling time by 50%. More time between button switch.
- Increase player reticle radius by 25% in collect button mode. Allow easier button press succeeded on bad latency tv.
- Increase player reticle last frame velocity impact on this frame position (inertia friction) by 70%. The player reticle slow down faster when no input from player -> easier to stay on the spot targeted & More precise player control.
- Increase player input factor by 50%. More precise and more reactive player control.
- Reduce max force applied randomly to player reticle from 0.35 to 0.29. Less strong random impulse for drunk effect.
- Reduce moving target speed by 15%. Easier for player to time his button press on a target.

Yea I got the trophy Last night and the plat. Was defiantly a lot easier. Think they made it too easy as did all the ones I had left with out failing once (well did once but that was because I wasn't paying attention).
 
I might try to finish the drinking game now. I need that trophy, the one where people tail me (I hate trophies that are out of my control) and the songsneak trophy.

Speaking of which. Does anyone know the best way to get the 3 final songs that I have to hack from people? I've run everywhere hacking people but no npcs ever seem to have them.
 
Had a blast with Watch Dogs, but I got the Platinum about a month ago. I found the original drinking games weren't that bad except the ones where both sticks were reversed (Had my wife help me by each of us moving one stick).
 
I wanted that Gang Hideout replay so bad. Nice that they added but it will have to wait until I finish TLOU.

But where is the information on the DLC? I bought the season pass and not a sniff for months?
Are they still planning on releasing it?
 
I am still playing through it on PC. Was happy to see it download a patch hoping for some performance improvements.

The fact that the PC version is still in this condition this far after launch is really unforgivable.

:(

Believe me, they should fix performance on ps4 too because sometimes fps & tearing are really unbearable.
 
I've been playing for the last two days to try and get some trophies I skipped. The only difference I've noticed since the patch is that the servers are now dead.
 
Glad to see the changes made to that drinking game, I didn't think I would ever get the plat after giving up out of frustration 3 months ago on that final trophy.
 
Friend hacking is wayyyyyy too late :( would have been so much fun when my friends were actually playing it.

Still glad they implemented this stuff though.
 
Welp, this allowed me to finally finish the last 5 levels of the Pawnee drinking game...

BRRRING, PLATINUM!

Yes. Cafes/pubs etc that you can enter that play music. They play set music on loop, with different locations playing different songs so you just have to idle around in the location that plays the track you need and wait for it to come on.

I don't know them off by heart, so Google it :P

I've done those but there are 3 you can only get from people and it's a pain in the ass to find them.
 
I'm ready to hear about Watch Dogs 2 next E3. They missed the mark a little with one, but they've got me interested for the day when it gets a Unity level makeover and I'm hoping they know it needs it right away.
