Watch_Dogs (PC/PS4/XB1/PS3/360/WiiU)

[Uzor]

Obviously watch_dogs and assassin's creed is in the same universe and takes place simultaneously, so I would not be surprised if Juno, relics etc were introduced at some point in to watch_dogs.

I mean, Blume and ctOS are already in AC, and they're playing the games their evil corporation made in WD. I believe it was mentioned in AC that they've developed a virtual reality version of some of their discoveries for the customers, so would not surprise me at all if the next game used a Glass system instead of a phone.

I mean, the digital trip system is already there, is it really that farfetched to believe the assassins or, say, Juno (who is already in the network, btw) could hack in to the main character of WD through that?

I'm not saying I agree, but I'd say it's not unrealistic to think Ubisoft would go that route.

I haven't played through all of WD yet because of finals and shit, but so far at the end of act 2 it's pretty damn obvious that Blume is a templar organization.

...da fuk you talking about dude?

Ezios story only sucked when we realized they were never going to end it in favor of making a new game every year.

We'd be talking shit bout Altair if he went through four games with as little character development as AC1. Shoot, Ezios sequels had more character development for Altair then his own game did.

Altair didn't need character development because all you need to know about him is that he's a badass.

Christ speaking of jumping the shark lol. Calm down son. Don't read too much into things.

Yeah, no. Being the mysterious badass is as cliche as it gets. Altair IS a badass. But his story still sucked compared to Ezio's. And I'm just talking AC1 and AC2 here, not the future games.

So aiden is Desmond

you heard it first ON BG!

I'm not reading in to it, I'm just saying that it wouldn't surprise me if they end up blending the two universes together. There's a lot references between the two games to each other that's obviously planted on purpose. I'm not saying it'll happen exactly as I said (I mean, fuck, I certainly hope it won't, would ruin both titles), just that there's a lot of directions they can take it if they so wish.

[Qalbert]

i feel like (and certainly hope) the 'connections' are just easter eggs. i mean there are rabbid plushies in the game too, and Jacks play Ass Creed, etc

[Salodin]

They're easter eggs Uzor, stop going full retard. There's a reason ctOS tower unlocking and contract fixes feel so familiar, its a Ubisoft game and they're reusing the same formula that made them rich; the Ass Creed formula.

Kuishen, the enigmatic bad ass thing might work for a game like Dark Souls, but both ubisoft franchises rely on plot to drive the game; something AC1 had just barely enough of, and eventually not enough when you consider how big the universe they're creating. I wish they did the metal gear thing though and give it an ending, then make their money on presequels that flesh out things talked about in the game but never expanded upon.

[Ratatapa]

Is there any missable stuff for trophies?

aka can i get platinium in 1 run

They weren't trying to create a universe or a franchise with the first game. They took a fairly original concept and gave it enough ambiguity and subtlety to be both interesting and satisfying. The plot was perfect for the confines of the first game. Based on the absolute dogshit of an ending and them missing the entire fucking point with the second game, I guarantee you they had no idea they were going to do an entire series, or even planned on it. The first game was the exploration of a narrative concept, and the second one shit all over that concept with boring characters, zero subtlety and the most god awful plot twist I've ever seen in a video game.

If I were to compare it to a movie franchise, I would compare it to Alien (AC1) and Aliens (AC2). There wasn't a "plot" to Alien, in the traditional sense, because the entire movie is them running away from a big bad monster. They didn't explain what the origin of the alien was, they didn't go into great detail developing the characters but they were likable enough for the movie; and they didn't need to do those things because of how the rest of the movie was. Aliens isn't even the same genre of movie and completely missed the point of the suspense/horror of the first movie. The movies had different directors, and the first two AC games may as well have had different writers because they're not even in the same narrative genre.

I don't expect everybody to agree with me, as most of this is opinion. I just appreciate nuance more than having plot shoved down my throat. To the people that say AC1 didn't have a plot, I say you aren't looking hard enough.

Unlocking the Gold D50 pistol from Uplay will prevent saves from loading, all versions of the game affected

Watch Dogs is suffering a string of technical issues linked to Ubisoft’s Uplay service, and a long line of gamers have come forward to shed new light on the matter.

It follows our early report back when all of this began, following claims that Uplay is causing Watch Dogs PC to crash out to the user’s desktop unexpectedly.

But now the issue seems to be running much deeper, as suggested by this large thread on the official Ubisoft forum, in which gamers have stated that unlocking Uplay reward content can cause problems in the full game on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Eurogamer has trawled the thread and found that the Gold D50 gun is causing problems when unlocked over Uplay.

The site adds that after unlocking the weapon, Watch Dogs saves will boot up to around 90% before locking, at which point the user will be kicked back to the main menu.

[Krazy]

Eh? I don't have that problem at all on my PS4.

[Uzor]

I don't either, I bought all Uplay unlocks before I even started a new game. Maybe the problem occurs if you do it after having started a game?

[Qalbert]

maybe, i did the same since child of light had a fuckload of uplay points

[octopus]

welp, I guess I'm not going to unlock any uplay stuff just yet.

[Uzor]

I think I have like 200 uplay points left. Whenever I buy a Ubisoft game I buy whichever in-game bonuses they offer and skip the pointless things like backgrounds, avatars and "potion packs".
