Watch Dogs for PlayStation 3 - Open World Action Game | Hack & Explore Chicago | Perfect for Single-Player Adventure & Stealth Gameplay

I have had this game since release day. Iv done about every thing you can do on it and I got to say there is more then enough to do! In point of fact if your A.D.D you will be hours into it without even hardly playing the main missions. I probably put 50 hours in before I even completed act 2. I will say that depending on how you decide to play the game it can become repetitive I did not have this problem because i was distracted by every shiny object in the game. From playing chess, to taking digital trips, to running down random bad guys. Now I pretty much agree with every thing the top reviewer True Story has to say in his review. However for me online hacking is the funnest part of the game. And after reading his update on online hacking I tested out some tactics to see if I could still have a fun hacking experience. While versing the other players advantages. And the answer was yes. So first lets address that fact that they know u r there. Yup they sure do. They dont know exactly where you are but they have a nice big purple search area to run to. So the trick is to keep your distance. and get the hack either through cameras or get close enough to them to start your hack. Iv actual found you can take advantage of them running for your position. Now once you start the hack you will disappear off of there radar. You now have about 50 seconds to run or drive to a location that is more advantageous to u. You then need to press the down arrow and start your down load. ( and yes i agree this is not exactly how the game was probably meant to be played but for me it has been quite fun) Now I have been on both ends of this situation. So try to pick places where you have a combination of Npc characters, places to hide (preferably ones you can move away from to another spot or around it) and cars.( have a getaway plan! )You get points weather you get the full hack or not. I dont even try to get full hacks. I just try for 50 to 60 percent then i get the heck out of there! Things to help you get away. ( if you see the person hunting you approaching the front of the car you are hiding in and he has not shot you or officially identified you. Hit him with the car! I have yet to see any one die from this and it gives you more time to get away! Also sometimes even if they see you if they dont get close enough to profile u your hack will continue. If they do profile you another thing to consider is that if you stay out of their line of sight for long enough you will automatically get away. So approach hacks as if the other person knows you are in there game from the get go, watch them on your radar and look for your opportunity to hack them . Then get your distance before you start the full down load. Forget about getting full hacks ( if you want to try more power to you but it will increase the likely hood of your death) Now on to the aggravating car situation. I have found that u usually get only one opportunity to start the hack when they are just driving around every where waiting for you to time out. So a few things to help with that. Watch your distance counter on the side of the screen if they are just driving away from you when it reaches 1000 you can fast tract to to them witch may put you in a better position to start the hack.( Also my personal fave is when you start the hack and they drive away form you. This will actually buy you more time as they will have to drive back to your location just make sure you start the down load before you get caught in the red on your radar screen or you will be to far away. Now as to the campers who sit in a building or get on a roof with no camera angle. All I can say is that this is dirty pool tactics and in my opinion UBI soft should not penalize u for not getting the hack and they should stop rewarding people that do it. While that one is a low blow I actually have only encountered it a few times. Its just bad luck and really I dont think most people have the patience for it. I know I dont so U probably wont see it to often. And I have not seen it enough for it to ruin the game. Now i am by no means a top notch player of watch dogs. I just really enjoy the game and I find that the tactics I use result in about a 70% success rate. The odds are stacked against you and that is all there is to it. But you can still have fun hacking the other players. Sometimes you are going to be instant killed when you go to hack another player. I personally only go after people that are worth 150 or above points my best hack was on a player worth 500 points I got a partial hack and this got me about 350 notoriety points. Though I have had many times where going after big points got me killed within seconds. Still I learn from my mistakes and continue to have fun. The best is when you manage to get away and you know you were on the brink of death. I just really enjoy this game and want to point out that the funnest part of the game is now more difficult, but not completely hopeless and that you can still have alot of fun with this game.
