Actually, the game does seem to portray him as a person with fairly serious mental or stress issues. I'm not sure if him not being very likeable is a byproduct of poor characterization, or actually intended, a-la JAYSUN from FC3. He's quite the fucking dumbass, in any case.Aiden Pierce is supposed to be a vigilante and the writers shoehorned in a family so people know that he's a good guy.
Oh wait, let me go murder security guards in cold blood and steal some more money off people's bank accounts and cause traffic accidents by hacking the traffic lights because it's not like his niece didn't die in traffic (that was caused by hitmen, but the point still stands).
All this talk about this game is making me want to play it!
I played it some on a bro's Xbone. I am really not qualified to criticize this genre 'cause I haven't played one significantly since GTA3, but hey. The random missions out in the overworld are pretty good, with lots of variations on themes, and your best practices change significantly as you unlock more stuff. Lots of freedom in the methods you use. The MP 1v1 hacking game is a fun little hide and seek thing.
The big thing that jumped out at me is how astoundingly bad and stupid the writing is. The dialog just made me dizzy it's so poorly constructed and cringey. I dunno how you could make the main character seem more like a Batman voice douche or make the game more ludonarratively dissonant. This is not just me having issues with the GTA ripoff genre, I thought Sleeping Dogs did a pretty good job.
Lazysoft would have to make a fun game with a good story for that. That is impossible man.Speaking of Sleeping Dogs is this game at least as good overall as that Codex?
“This game is teaching you to hack into whatever is docked in your bedroom,” Beck says in the above segment. “What the heck is wrong with us? What are we thinking? We are inviting this into our home and our lives.
“The idea here is they are teaching you to hack and then become the ultimate voyeur in other people’s lives,”he also noted, “including their bedrooms, by hacking into their phones and everything.”
Hell, some devs of the game reported that if you noticed a bug that wasnt related to your work, you actually had to submit a ticket, A FUCKING TICKET TO FIX YOUR OWN GAME, and it would take weeks to receive an answer...
All of the RAM went to animating Aiden's amazing jacket. None left for actual gameplay.
Can you never do that again?

I think he meant hotlinking CAD. It's worse than UPlay.Can you never do that again?
What, you mean buy a game that requires me to load 2-3 clients before I get to the actual game executable?
I've been considering it, though I made an exception for MMX some months ago.

How come Steam's competition is fucking worse in every way ? Origin, Uplay. It's like they thought "hey, let's make our clients even more annoying than Steam, that'll bring us more users totally !".
Also, the side missions can get quite repetitive. I didn't hit that moment yet, but it's coming I can feel it.

Steam was pretty shitty back in the day. It's gotten to a "lesser of evils" stage now, sure, but I really don't mind Origin all that much. Provided it's EITHER/OR, not Steam AND uplay or whatever.
