So, haven't had time to play more than like 2 hours into this, but it's certainly illustrating what I think Deckers should be doing in Shadowrun.

This is definitely on my list, but will likely hold off until in comes up on a Steam sale. Really strange mix of reviews... :-\

I quite like it, but feel slightly less engaged than I expected.

I'm digging it.  Imagine if you had a backdoor into every device that could only run a spoof command.  That's basically what we've got here.

I don't know - I don't think there's a command that would normally let you blow up an underground steam pipe.  :P

I'm enjoying this game a great deal, though.

As Uplay servers are running, I am just about to star...
Ive heard it has some interresting multiplayer possibilities, so maybe I`ll see you later in Chicago ;)

Uplay seems to be having intermittant problems for some folks on all platforms. As far as anyone can tell their system isn't robust enough to handle the volume of authentication requests.

It appears that Ubisoft still hasn't learned from the last couple of Uplay launches.

Meanwhile people playing pirated versions have no issues. Way to support piracy, Ubisoft!

I got a couple hours in yesterday, then my PC hit a few blue screens.  Downloading new drivers and trying a few other things, now, and hopefully it'll run a little more smoothly.

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

This makes me wonder... will its expansion be about hacking a game about hacking so you can mine currency?

Actually, this would make more sense in Shadowrun than in Watch Dogs. In WD there's no reason those pipes would have any sort of wireless connectivity. In SR, it is HIGHLY likely they would have an AR interface for technicians to run controls and quality checks. With the right bit of hacking, you could turn off the safeties and make them explode.
