The Watch Dogs AI occasionally "knows" where you are without line of sight when it hasn't seen you yet, but breaking line of sight does seem to trigger its "lost him" behaviour.

Vaulting over objects mid-run looks and feels great, and it handles climbing on a diagonally sloped wall very well too. The parkour is a little bit iffy when moving slowly though. You slide a little bit while moving slowly, or even standing still if near an object edge, which is a little strange given that they must…

Nice touches with the rain too — have you seen what happens to the rain if you engage Focus?

I think it's a loading issue, since people talk about it being intermittent and only happening when driving fast. I don't see this stuttering despite my low end card, perhaps because of a good SSD and sensible options settings. It amazes me how stubborn people can be about refusing to dial down settings because of…

If that's the case, you need a new graphics card no matter what. I'm using a GTX650Ti which I bought on eBay last year for £70, because I don't want to buy a big card until I see what the GTX800 series offers. It runs Watch Dogs 1080p on a High/Medium mix with no problems, and it looks fantastic. A GTX750 would be as…

They did achieve the game they promised. Everything that was in the E3 first demo is in the game, and then some. The only thing that's different is the graphics, and that's not Ubisoft's fault. The console manufacturers didn't finalise their specs until a few weeks before production began. Years ahead, Ubisoft had to…

It's like "Lifeforms"-era FSOL had a baby with Eraserhead.

Their faces are somewhat similar.

Her bisexuality doesn't make her any more likely to walk away from a relationship, or more likely to cause someone to do the same. She might like women and men, but she's not got the sexual/romantic appetite of two people.

It does feel like 20 years though, doesn't it? If you'd told me it was older and I trusted you enough not to try and count, I could easily be tricked into agreeing that it's even older than that!

Ah, but you're assuming that only someone who doesn't know about coyotes and traffic deaths could dump a dog out there, or that he would care if his dog dies. If you watch the video, you'll see what a collosal penis this man really is.

Hmm. That video is infuriating. I hope somebody sets fire to his stupid fucking jumper while he's wearing it.

Ha! Reminds me of the dozens of people I killed by driving on the left, and how I can never return to Ohio. "You can't make an omelette...", as I screamed back at them while swimming into the Atlantic.

We only started formalising the "ou" thing after the US has fully parted ways with us. A lot of historians have formed the opinion that the only reason we did that was to force a European flavour onto our "original" English by giving it some French airs. Really, there's a lot about the US framing of English that makes…

Yes, but if you want to backpedal, have at it.

Ubisoft were guessing at the hardware capabilities of consoles whose specs ended up being finalised only weeks before they were manufactured. Everybody was surprised by how weak they were, when the final specs were announced. Spinning hard drives and not SSDs, outdated cast-off GPUs: everything about them was…

Are you seriously comparing the graphical demands of rendering a Smash Bros level twice with the issues of rendering Chicago twice? The handful of characters vs a city population of people and vehicles?

I don't know if it's even laziness. It's a gigantic, detail-intensive world that they've created, and because it's Chicago there are huge numbers of plate windows and other shiny surfaces. It would be astonishing if they'd devoted time to analysis of every single location so they could create a cube map for every…

Yes, obviously. I have a PC too. Every PC gamer ought to buy an Xbox/PS controller, rather than go through this round of "they didn't cater to us" every time.

Riiiight. I'm falling for the marketing, every time I play, because I'm a fucking moron. I think I'm enjoying the refreshingly good AI that doesn't sit behind walls waiting for me to act, or the well-designed infiltration sections, or the fact I've been playing for three days and still haven't fired a shot because the…
