Could Watch Dogs Multiplayer Hacking start a revolution?

Lol, your smokin a big one. Save 2..Count'em....TWO hacks that I initiated out of a good 9-12, they ALL either turned their Xbox One off, or RAN out of range, one of them even tried hiding in a garage caddy corner with the doors down, I was able to open
one of them, angle to initiate the hack and leave prior to him finding me, I was at 37% or so and the lamer drops his connection. I sent him a message telling him just take the damn game back if he's gonna wuss out every time he gets hacked and can't find
the person....."personally I don't care what you think"...I can't even post what the other jerks replied with.

Ya, the bounty is a good idea, but in todays jacked up thinking of society, did they SERIOUSLY think people would adhere to the rules of how its SUPPOSE to be played if they find themselves loosing???

You should get an instant win for people who wuss out. For those people who turn off their machines or games to avoid a loss - after so many incompletes, should have the online intrusion automatically turned off and reset. Screw those guys, hate those guys.
Just play the game.

what about the hacks that hit you from a long way off?? Does it have something to do with hacking then getting as far away as possible THEN start install the back door??

I like it, and it's not hard to not be hacked too much, just take the phone of the Blume people before they stick a bounty on you. I have been doing that and only been invaded a handful of times in 50+ hours.

After hacking you have 60 secs to initiate (install back door), where you can move far away although there's a distance limit of few hundred meters. A lot of people just camp waiting to be invaded, I mainly play Tailing so I can troll them folks and still
win.

@nib I ment by ignore it, meaning it doesn't really effect your game if you sit doing nothing for 5 mins, you don't loose anything in the game, except for a little hacking XP.

TBH i think its fun looking for them, and it makes the game more dynamic, its your fault your being hacked, if you want to start a missing don't hack people before you start.

I slightly disagree on the "can be ignored if you want to", yes I know there is the option to turn it off, but there has been numerous times I've tried to start a campaign mission or side mission and it wouldn't let me because someone was about to start
the process of "invading" me.

OP - Agree with you about how it's implemented. I love it when somebody pops in.
