‘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?

Oasis So when you decide you feel like not being bothered the game punishes you? Why even have the feature ffs. Well clearly all you need to do to avoid this is disconnect your internet. But then you can't chat with friends...

Whoever thought this was a good idea needs a slap.


it is actually a fun feature some guy was hacking me and i killed him and had to evade the police it was an interesting excitement

I'm loving this game at the moment, I really don't like the way some games are going now a game can be incredible without multiplayer and when it's there it should be an extra bonus in a game like this not to be forced down our throats.

This is perthetic, although the bypass for this is to just disconnect from XBL and then re-connect when you want invaders to invade you again..
