Wow just looked at a leaderboard for a Fixer delivery job. WTF? How can people have 50 seconds left?

Well, that was a lot of fun! I generally get bored with games quite quickly and give up long before the end. For once, I stuck with it and have now completed it. I still find myself going back to do the odd side mission too.

So, what next? Apparently The Last of Us is very good - any other recommendations?

If you have a PS4 get TLOU:Remastered. The PS3 version was excellent but the PS4 version is miles better.

I just completed this and I have no idea what happened. Just couldn't get into the story and keep track of it. Maybe playing it for half an hour here and there didn't help me keep track.

You didn't miss anything exciting.

I am amazed at how I can steal cars, run several people over, blow stuff up and so on, yet still be a revered vigilante....

I had noticed this as well. Just trawled through until the end. No incentive do carry out side missions. Found that the missions felt the same, hack a camera, hack another etc. I know most games repeat themselves, even GTA, but it does a better job of hiding it imo.

Just finished this. Good fun, but some terribly designed missions that were just frustrating. I was left with a similar impression that I had who I played through Assassins Creed. It is a good concept but not quite executed correctly. I suspect Watchdogs 2 could prove to be very good based on Ubisoft's track record of improving one game to the next.

Certainly the "criminal" ones are all the same.

But I do enjoy the fixer contracts - destroy a convoy without killing one of the guys there, or nick a car and escape plod etc..

Oh, and I do the Auction one, and kill everyone who was bidding...... biggrin

Same happened to me, saved some poor shmuck from dying yet the law peppered me with bullets. Great fun indeed, something that's sometimes lost of late in our digital worlds.
