Yea there is free roam where you can invite friends. There are hack sessions, online races, free roam, a section where someone on the mobile device can create a challenge for you, some other team based online games.
What kind of stuff can you do online on this game? Isn't there a free roam type mode, and if so can the cops get involved?

Then again I could be wrong because Ubi's servers are down right now.
Still madbro that they didn't put the app on Windows Phone, especially when they're releasing the game on 3 systems (Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows) that are from the same company as Windows Phone...
But I went ahead and took the game back, but I'll get it a bit later. I got $65.09 back on a gift card, bought the Gamers Club Unlocked for $60, and still have $5.09 on a gift card. That means I can go buy it for $60 later, get 20% off with GCU, making it $48, and I can use the leftover $5 to get the game for $43. It's a MUCH better deal than $60, haha.
The reviews I've read said you can turn off being online at anytime and yes, someone can randomly come in and start hacking you, it actually sounds pretty fun though.

Unless you opt out, you’re also regularly prompted to jump into multiplayer activities, like a simple race through the streets or a much more interesting cat-and-mouse game of tailing and hacking another random player. It’s a setup with a lot of room for creativity and hilarious experimentation as you try to hide or blend in with the civilians. There’s also the highly entertaining capture-the-flag style Decryption game, where one player desperately tries to evade the rest, and a challenging race where you have to evade traps and cops triggered by a player using the free iPad app.
When will companies realize that they need better servers? I mean, it's ridiculous how WoW STILL struggles to handle a launch, and I thought Microsoft was supposed to have their Azure stuff to handle this.
Yea but you still paid $60 for something...not sure how that gamers club thing works. I don't buy many games at best buy so I don't buy into that option. I'm only paying $30 for the game so either way I had a gift card from a trade in.
all this hacking talk makes me feel like i'm reading the 24 tv show threads from years back. "hack this" ... "hack that!" everything on a computer is hacking!!!

Yeah $60 + $60 = $120 - 20% = $96. So unless you only buy games at BB I think it's a waste.
I got this for $10 anyhow cause I traded in my Gamestop points which gave me $50. I never use those points.

A lot of information here that I think I'll take to heart. I was worried about the controls; it turns out I should be thinking about a whole lot more.
Maybe this game will never go on sale; then again maybe I'll have saved $70.
I've put in a good 6 hours in the game now, some single player stuff and then some friends got online. While there isn't much to do in free roam besides walking around killing people it's still a fun game. The graphics could be better but honestly if they were the game would run like shit. The frames tend to drop in some areas and can get annoying but it's not crippling the game too bad. My favorite thing so far is the skill tree unlocks, robbing citizens with a click of a button, and the online 1v1 is fun but very challenging to not get profiled. I give the game 8/10 so far.
What's with all the additional content?

From reading, some packs are additional missions, some make it easier to get money. Some are just texture packs. IS this it?
Does this game try to screw people through microtransatctions?
Is Xbox Live Gold required to play online?

Honestly controls are not that bad. If you get it for pc use an Xbox controller or ds4.
The game is a lot of fun just messing around in the environment. I don't even know the story yet. The cool thing is you aren't forced to play the story part, after the intro you are thrown in and almost everything is available. You can buy guns as long as you have money, you can play the digital trips or mini games.
There are random street crimes happening. I was on my way to an atm and someone already in line at the machine was being held up by another person with a gun. Another time I was driving around just admiring the world and some dude was robbing a store, took out a gun and shot at civilians. I was able to stop him with a traffic light hack and he got hit by a truck, flying about 20ft into the street.
It's really immersive. You just are dropped in and can do what you want without having to do any of the story, well so far at least for me.
I would at least play the story up until the "Open Your World" mission, I think it's mission 5 or 6. This lets you unlock more of the skill tree items. Though after that, again you aren't forced to do the main story, there are a ton of other things that can be done.
So after playing around with the online stuff last night, this title seems very archaic to what we are used to in open world online games. You can't shoot from your car and free roam is just that, there is really nothing to do in the free roam outside of playing AR games.
Cool, thanks for the tip. I really was not sure if I should hack any ctOS towers yet or not. I just drove around doing my own thing. I hear the story is about 35 hrs if you do free roaming activities. Obviously longer if you want 100%.
