Aiden looks a little 'tired' in this one, no wonder he'd decided to take the L.
I took this after letting him ride around for about twenty minutes - apart from him going through a repeat/rinse pattern of movements, the way the carriages and passengers moved as the L went along its route were pretty impressive.

I've been going on Watch Dogs online free roam for a few days now. I'm probably hoping to have some memorable fun moments, but it seems most, if not all players I encounter are unreasonably hostile. Indeed, I am now completely expecting to be shot at/run over repeatedly/have my car blown up/all of the above when another player gets close, for seemingly no reason other than being in the same session.
Just this past hour, I tried to have a nice little game-within-a-game with a "delivery": driving a flatbed truck from the gun store in The Loop to the gun store in Pawnee. I went through six trucks because two morons kept following me and shooting the trucks and trying to run me off the road.
I give up.

@Firehound427 thats why I only do the Online Invasions and the races. Otherwise I'm not online at all.

Yeah, I never got the whole jump-out-of-your-car-after-a-race-and-start-shooting-everyone-else mentality. If you have one of the online settings to off (I forget which one) at least they can't 'kill' you. There again. I haven't tried any online yet, other than racing.

A tweak is out that allows DOF, further back camera, more rain and more.

Well, I'll be getting 25% off all subsequent DLC too - I suppose we won't know how worth it all this is until the year is almost up and a full evaluation can be made. On the other hand, I think the game has been massively worth it, so I'm fairly sure I'll be getting any other DLC when it arrives.

Has anyone heard if there is a PC patch coming? I have been holding off on playing waiting for one, but now I think about it I don't know if one is even coming. I hate when a developer takes so long to release a patch that I have already finished the game before it is made available.

Patch details said to be in the next few days for pc. ps4 is live now and xbo/360 are next week
MAJOR GAME FIXES
• Automatically reconstructed corrupted save files which prevented loading to go further than 90%. Some collectibles may remain unrecoverable.
• Fixed the issue preventing players from using hacks in game.
GAMEPLAY FIXES
• Fixed several mission-breaking bugs.
• Fixed minor mission and item-related issues.
• Fixed the issue that caused the empty weapon-wheel.
MULTIPLAYER FIXES
• Fixed several minor respawn issues.
• Fixed some connection and session joining issues.
PC SPECIFIC FIXES
• Fixed graphical glitches on Low & Medium settings.
• Fixed some crashes on SLI configurations.
• Implemented several performance improvements.
• Implemented a few control improvements.
• Fixed issues causing infinite messaging and timing-out when trying to access the Online Shop from the Extras Menu while Uplay is set to Offline mode.
• Fixed issues connecting to a Multiplayer game.
• Implemented several mouse modifications.
• Fixed “Drinking Game” control issue where wrong information was displayed when played with a gamepad.
• Fixed “Chess Game” control issue.
• Fixed bug where the invasion setting was never saved.
• Fixed graphical issues during cut scenes and cinematics.
• Fixed several graphical and texture bugs.
• Removed Vista OS check to prevent false positives.
• Added game version in main menu.
A 5gb patch sounds like extra textures, no info whether this will come with it or later on or just false info
Wonder if Steam has a small discount for Watch Dogs in the sale

Yeah it can be pretty choppy at times, the best thing for my system was to turn on V-sync, but even then it was tearing a bit. But yeah I'm also waiting for improvements in the updates before I play any more.
I hope whatever the "performance and graphic improvements" are can keep my GPU from getting so hot. Its the only game that I have that makes me worry about excessive heat, and I shouldn't have to worry about that with my new system.

Has anyone hear tried the patch? I was going to download it, but then started reading some of the comments at watchdogs site. 
It appears for some it didn't change anything and for the ones it did effect they don't seem to happy. I damn sure don't want to make my game play worse.

Well I downloaded it (playing on PC), but since then I've only played a tiny bit. I cant say I noticed any changes yet.

Not tried it yet. Was playing in offline mode when the patch went up and since then I'm having a break and watching the World Cup.
Going by the pc forums it doesn't seem to change much but most are on about SLI not working and ultra textures
