Here is a rough preview. It's not even a months worth of progress. [Clickety Click]

I have a rough understanding of 3D concepts due to school and OG help from Nobby on teaching me basic concepts back in the day. I'm learning something new every time I work on the mod

I'm a beta tester as well. In addition to beta testing I'm making my first car mod. An Acura Integra Type R with a JDM front end conversion (what I drive in irl haha)

Yesterday i start Watch Dogs.
Game concept based on hacking different kind of devices, that have any type of electronic control- phones,car alarms,
cameras etc and etc..
So, my first impressions after 6 gameplay hours. So - so, 50/50, not so revolutionary as Ubi present in this spring. Graphics is very good, but it is not nothing impressive for that gaming indusdtry grand as is Ubisoft.
Game physics also at high level, except car physics, its terrible, but it is normal for this kind(GTA type) of games. Hacking, main game element, is very primitive, devices detecting automaticaly, and all that you need to do is push "one button" (in pc case it is Q) and vua-laa - device is hacked, you get money from bank account,
get information etc and etc..
Game world have lot of elements with you can interact, mayby too much, at first play time that very distract you, hard concentrate - what need to do.
That all is very interesting first 5 game hours, after then... - then you begin feeling as you play GTA upgraded with few new options, that is all.
My conclusion - game not bad, but Sleeping Dogs, with revolutionary street fight system, impress me much more !
It is good game, especially if you can buy it with some discount, i buy it in steam about(halloween discount) 42eur- deluxe edition + two dlc! This game is I like say about cars - no bad cars, only prices tend to be bad, or in other words - all cars are good, if price are appropriate.

BUT - buy it for 59eur for base game or 69eur for deluxe + 20eur for season pass, oh my God, it is Ubi joke i think, it is not serious!!!

I say nothing about multiplayer, that is realised as other player can connect with you and hack your phone, your objective in this case is discover this player and close hacking backdoors in your software, because i turn it off at start. Why? Because actually i am single gamer, TDU2 is my first game that i play in online mode.
And finally, i start this thread for post hints, tips etc., in reason if someone else in this community play this game.

Yet about car physics, i say it is terrible, because i use keyboard. For man who all racing games play with steering wheel it is very hard, suddenly jump to keyboard and control the car with one hand fingers, "W A D S" buttons.
I dont known how is car control with xbox or ps pads, maybe it is much better.
And also, in this case, traffic density, that game present, for me is too high, because hard to avoid accidents, when drive speed is high and need escape from police.

The crappy car driving was why i deleted that game from my computer. well that and the missions feel very similar to each other after a while.

We have had the watch dogs discussion before.. Just after the game came out.

Having finished watch dogs I feel like it's a pretty underwhelming experience. It's pretty much a standard open world third person shooter with a press one button to do everything gimmick. Sure the first time you hack a phone or a camera it's pretty fun and satisfying; the way you spy on peoples personal lives and sometimes use it against them.

But the problem with watch dogs is that it quickly becomes routine and you just keep spamming that same hack button over and over and over again. The gameplay doesn't evolve and doesn't really use the hacking mechanic in a way that keeps it fresh during the whole single player campaign.
Also, the amount of stuff you can hack is somewhat ridiculous. Camera, servers, cellphones; sure I can buy that. But underground piping systems? I don't know a single pipeline that has chips in it that are hackable. Stuff like that gave me a weird disconnect to the game and all the so called 'hacking' in it.

What is positive about watch dogs is how lively the world feels. All the NPC's are actually doing something other than just walking around. But... that's really all pretty window dressing to reveal that underneath all the busy looking NPC stuff there's really nothing going on at all. You can visit a few shops, go to a couple of bars, and that's pretty much it for watch dogs. It's nowhere near the standard set by GTA V.

I can still visit los santos and find new things to occupy myself with whereas watch dogs only has three very basic sidemissions all packaged slightly different:
- Tail this guy and take him out when he commits a crime
- Kill everyone except this one guy that you need to take down
- Stop a convoy of cars

Apart from the story missions that very much follow the concept of these three sidemissions that's all you're going to get out of watch dogs, not counting the very meager multiplayer modes.

To me watch dogs is a game that tries to be different to all the other GTA V clones and partly succeeds in doing so with it's hacking gimmick. However, once that gimmick has overstayed its welcome and you get sick and tired of pressing the same button every 2 seconds to make stuff happen, it really doesn't have much to offer to make it stand out when compared to games like saints row or GTA.

It also doesn't help that aiden's personality is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

That was pretty what i said about watchdogs during the previous discussion. The hacking thing is nice concept for a couple of hours at best then its just the same thing over and over.

It also doesn't help that aiden's personality is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

Hehe i laughed when i read that..

i can recommend THIS.. try using that. i will guarantee it will turn up results for trainers for that game

If you hadn't noticed the majority of people here that played watchdogs on pc did not like it, which would suggest we no longer play/have it

OO, yes, yes, i known about "THIS.."

.
But you right, when say: majority - that no mean "no one". Always can be situation, when someone can suggest something better than you already found in "THIS..".
It is a reason why i ask in previous post.
he, he, and actually, also i cant say that this game very like to me, but i pay maney, ant this fact force play this game

. Yes, it is problem in my mind- sometimes i play fully crap games, only because i pay money for they.

so are you saying "THIS" (google) didnt bring any good results. because oddly when i typed 4 magical words into google i got the exact result i expected.. The most common website for trainers..

Those 4 magic words were " Watch", "dogs", "pc", "trainer"
The first link that comes up is the exact link you need. now if i can do that, why can't you ??

Here.. i have even made it easier for you, ive provided a LMGTFY link for you..
All you have to do is click the first link that comes up [Clickety Click]
