I'm really enjoying the game so far. Playing on PS4 and I haven't experienced any issues, technical or otherwise. The car handling took some getting used to but I think I've got it down now. Story is decent so far and I really like all the different stuff you can do in the game when not on a mission. Spider Tank is tremendous fun and Alone is pretty awesome, really considering the season pass so I can get all the digital trips that are still coming out. Coin runs are pretty awesome as well and I also really enjoy just walking/running/driving around the city stopping random criminals. Don't really care about that it doesn't really make sense that you are busting criminals for essentially the same crimes you are guilty of, the game is too fun for me to care about any of that. At the end of the day that is the most important thing for me, if I am having fun then I can look past things like performance, visuals, inconsistencies, etc. and so far everything in the game is a blast.
 
Yeah, the driving definitely does take some time getting use to. I must say the first 20-30 minutes I played the game, I was like WTF did I just spend my money on. But once I woke up after being forced to take a nap in my apartment and I could actually just do whatever I wanted and go wherever I pleased I really started to love the game! I'll definitely consider getting the season pass at some point.
 
Also on PS4, haven't had much game time yet this week. Busy training my replacement before beginning my new job next month so I'm pretty pooped by the time I get home and have only spent around 3 hours in the game. Driving is taking some getting used to, I'm so used to GTA's mechanics. Otherwise I can definitely say it's lived up to my expectations and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. The digital trips are a lot of fun, although a somewhat jarring change of tone from the main campaign. Graphics are good, not as good as Infamous Second Son imo (although that was PS4 exclusive so I can understand it was probably a bit easier to improve everything since they only had to consider one system's specs). I'm a bit disappointed in the facial animation, however, which kind of takes away from the good graphics and makes the characters a lot less believable. It's small details like the eyes not moving properly etc. But that's a pet peeve of mine and something I always pay very close attention to so I doubt it bothers others. Otherwise, loving the game, the missions I've done so far have been really fun, and I can't wait for the weekend to spend a lot more time with the game and try out some of the online elements.

Ah, thank you thank you thank you. I've been trying for the last two days to remember what the minigames are called :P
 
MetalSoup. Really enjoying the game so far, though I only just finished the Big Brother mission.
 
My uplay ID is riaanv.

Does anyone know if there's a way to select a player to hack instead of just matchmaking those drop-ins ingame?

Yeah I'd actually also like to know that. I'm sure there has to be a way. I've been in a race where a guy joined and the two people were friends playing together so I'm sure there has to be a way.
 
I've added a new table for features that I'd like to see in the game, please post any suggestions. My first suggestion is the ability to fire out of a vehicle.

There is already one in the form of the baton take down, or are you looking for something else?

Yes, like one that you can actually use to kick pedestrian ass! :D I really want just like a punch and kick you know. You basically cannot touch the civilians :(

Hahahaha!! I know, that sounded bad, but come on man. The most fun thing of sandbox games like this is running around kicking people's ass :D

:D I dunno hey, I actually try to miss the pedestrians and feel bad when I clip one. It's only in the carmaggeddon mode where I have no sympathy for them :D
