- You have your own apartment in the city with a wardrobe, bed etc. It's kinda similar to the buildings you have in GTA games
- When you hack someones phone, you can hack their bank account but you can also steal their car registry information and then you get their car delivered to you.
- When you hack certain NPCs, you'll find out they might suffer from cancer or poverty and that might make it harder to steal their money or their car from a moral aspect.
- There are clothing shops with an extensive amount of different outfits
- Driving feals great in my opinion. Could be they used some experience from Driver.
- Being chased by the cops, opening a metal gate in the distance and then driving through it while already closing it is very cool. When you manage to close it just when the police tries to enter -> pretty damn awesome when you see them getting rammed.
- Same can be said about activating bollards. No greater feeling than seeing cop cars getting pulled into the air because they were driving over bollards and I activated them right at that moment.
- You have ctOS facilities that can be compared to the forts in Assassin's Creed and the outposts from Far Cry 3. You have to collect a security key from a guard so you can enter the server room and hack it. These facilities are being protected by armored guards with guns.
- New way of stealth: You can hack a camera, jump from camera to camera till you find the security guard with the key. Hack into his phone, collect it and then jump from his phone to a different guard on patrol. When that guard enters the server room -> jump from his phone to the computer. You'll then play a small hacking puzzle. When you complete that puzzle, the building is hacked. This means you did the entire thing without doing any physical action with Aiden himself. It's pretty much digital stealth.
- You may also get sidemissions from hacking people, they're pretty dynamic. I found a guy stalking his ex-girlfriend and he was about to hurt her. I traced his location and beat him up before he could do a thing. I also discovered a rich guy who was into hentai and you could challenge him to a drinking game at the bar!
- Controls/movement feels similar to Assassin's Creed, but game itself feels very different and there is definitely more freedom
- You can listen to music everywhere, you can hack other phones for music and you can even hack the music installation in a bar. You can also customize your playlist etc
- You can also order cars through the phone. There's a pretty expansive list, ranging from cheap towncars to luxury sportcars. You unlock them through the story, challenges or by simply buying them.
So sind halt die Amerikaner .
