‘Watch Dogs’ Will Punish Players Unless They Are Always Online

4
Online integration seems to be a big part of the Watch Dogs experience however, it seems you will be punished if you decide to turn off online invasions in the game.

As this picture shows, if you decide to disable online invasions you will be faced with a harsh punishment from Ubisoft stating:

“By disabling Online Invasions you will not be available for other players to invade, but you will also not be able to participate in Online Hacking and Tailing. Your Notoriety will be reset to zero and any Notoriety Skills you have unlocked will be lost.

Do you want to disable Online Invasions?

It seems that the always online feature is becoming more and more prevalent in modern games such as Need For Speed: Rivals and now Watch Dogs.

We were originally going to see the always online feature in the Xbox One but during the reveal the backlash from the Xbox community had that decision overturned pretty quickly.

What do you think of this online “feature” from Ubisoft? Does it bother you? Will if effect your choice to play Watch Dogs online or not?

Deranged Single player games are the past anyways.. Whenever people are playing a Single Player Only game they are online in a party chat with other people i love that its becoming a Multiplayer paradise if you want to play offline youre an idiot or youre old


or you want to enjoy a game with an epic story that you can feel fully immersed in without worrying about other players or a bad connection or maybe your internet provider has a data cap on you (like mine) and if you have a large household using the internet and once you hit that cap you cant play online so the game has online only and you are ****. Wolfenstein was an epic game with no multiplayer, Watchdogs was awesome without the other players butting in trying to get to a mission or such. They should always have the option for both.

To be honest, i like this. It makes the game less boring, and online hacking is actually fun, especially when you get the one idiot who has no idea what they are doing! :)

gtapro151 thats ok its a game ment to be online its different then xbox originally trying to force EVERY game online.




iiExaMplezZz Looks like I wont be getting this then. My PS3 is constantly dropping connection so id be ****.


It just makes my day when you look at the comments on these articles and can easily see the people who read nothing but the title. This is an in-game feature and has nothing to do with your internet connection. Please read the articles before posting.

-Tupac WTH? Being punished for not playing online, thats stupid.


Only if you turn of online invasion, pretty much like passive mode in GTA but more strict.

I think it's stupid. I also think it's stupid that Last-Gen consoles aren't allowed to have Online Free-Roam or Decryption because apparently they can't take it. If Last-Gen can't take Online Free-Roam and Decryption then they shouldn't have any Online mode for Last-Gen.

Just makes the game cooler in my opinion. The hacking is what makes the game cool.
