In my original playthrough I encountered this weird glitch where money would never be subtracted from my account. Not that it mattered because yeah, it always seems that you have more money than you need.
Wake up and be awesome
Alright, I'm Watch Dogs-ed out for the night, but I'll still participate in the discussion. Anyway, here's just a list of small things I noticed in my routing attempts
Mission 1) Turns out you don't have to get in Jordi's car, you can take any other car, but this is much slower
Mission 2) When you go for the crime, hit the girl and it automatically ends the mission
Mission 3) You can go to the ctOS tower before picking up the 416, but no one spawns
Mission 4) I discovered an incredibly risky strat when running away from the cops with the guy in the backseat. I'll probably record this tomorrow
Mission 5) After talking with Clara, turn to the right and there should be a motorcycle. Pick it up, it's faster than a car
Mission 6) Not much to report on for this mission. More or less just hope for good enemy luck
Mission 7) I'll post my strats for this mission tomorrow as well
Mission 8) That sniper thing is going to be interesting
Mission 9) When taking out the crooked cops, some drop assault rifles, which are quicker kills than the shotgun, at least in my opinion

Edit: I already talked with Streetlights about this, but I'll probably record a run of Act 1 tomorrow with shaky cam. I'll get my friend to do it Cheesy

Ok for all i just did my first act 1 speedrun and i got 1:16:46 so not bad but sub 1 is easily posible.

Wake up and be awesome
I hate to ruin on your parade jonese, but I just got 1:09:58! So many stupid deaths in this run, sub 1 hour for act 1 should easily be possible
Wake up and be awesome
Alright, so my friend and I just found another way of doing the Racine Skip, I'll post it later
1:09:45 on Act I thumbsup
Wake up and be awesome
Dammit, had the record for a few hours at least. Any video?
Nope, because I wasn't optimistic about the run. Going to run it again and record it this time. Probably have to wait a few days for the upload.
Oh and by the way, I didn't have enough money to buy the 416 AND a sniper rifle when I went to the store.
Wake up and be awesome
Yeah, I figured that out, that sucks
On a sidenote though, once Aiden says the thing about buying the guns you'll instantly have enough money to buy the 416, but not before.
Just got 1:01:43 with really shitty optimization. I got way over eager in some spots. I'll upload the video later if my internet wants to behave itself.

Also, another sidenote, my sum of best segments is now sub one hour.
Wake up and be awesome
In case anyone was having trouble with the Racine skip that Streetlights found, here's a slightly easier way of doing it

I need Jonese to make me some neat video thumbnails.
LOL here you are



Yea i could easily get sub 1h no problem!
Hello everyone. I started playing this game 2 days ago and so far I like it. So far I noticed that the police does not have boats to chase you, so water means an easy escape. I also noticed that spawn points in missions are set. This is useful when saving and reloading, sometimes it places you closer to your objective.

Here's some mission routes I came up with:






I'm only at act 2 at this point, but I have a feeling this isn't the only mission where you can checkpoint abuse.



Further explanation is in the video descriptions.
I was going to mention that loading an auto save despawns those enemies downstairs, but you can run out the back door fast enough to not die and they don't chase very well. The AI doesn't seem to like doors very much. Generally your best bet is to always make a straight line to wherever you're going and using a suppressed weapon to dispatch any enemies that are immediately in front of you.

Sometimes the brute runs up the stairs and kills you before you can exit. It's random whether that happens though. I watched the Racine quick kill video, and your method is definetly faster. If you can pick up a sniper rifle earlier in the game that's the way to go.

Also, has anyone had this happen to them?


Yeah. It's a shame that it locks up your movement like that though, I was hoping that there would be some consistent out of bounds clip that let you run past certain areas but it doesn't look like it's that way yet.
Just got a 1:04 for act 1 Cheesy

Nice job with the videos  king flipsta, that's some interesting stuff. Would you mind breaking more of act 1 if possible?
Wake up and be awesome
Alright, I was playing around with this game earlier, and apparently this game does some really weird things when you reload last autosave. For example, I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but when you reload last autosave after hacking into the ctOS tower in mission 3, you play the mission again, but this skips the entire cutscene with BadBoy. Also, reloading last autosave on mission 6 (the Damien one) after you take out all the enemies, you're put back at the alley and told to find the ctOS boxes, but the Damien marker also appears for meeting him. If you do the entire process again, then some weird things happen (I can't remember what.) I'm sure this can be used for other missions in Act 1, but that's just a thought.

Also, anyone having any luck with getting a fast Nicky call in mission 2 when your inside her house? Sometimes I can hack the phone immediately, other times I have to wait for her entire dialogue to finish before hacking her phone. Is this random?
