Yeah you're right, good point! The original Watch Dogs had stuff like Nas, Wu-Tang Clan and Public Enemy... if the game was set in New York, that would have been great but nope, it was set in Chicago!

@planetfunksquad: I actually am from the UK, believe it or not!

Thanks for agreeing with me. That's something I forgot to bring up actually. From what I can tell, Ubisoft have done an excellent job of recreating the look and feel of San Francisco from a graphical/technical perspective, it's a shame that the soundtrack doesn't really match up.

Haha, I actually don't hate him as a person, just not a fan of the music! And one thing I know for sure, when I think of San Francisco, the last rapper I would probably think of is Dizzee Rascal! What a bizarre choice.

You are missing the point my dude. It's not that I don't like the music, it's the wrong music. Imagine if GTA V was filled with music from Jay-Z, Nas, DMX or Biggie... I like those artists but it wouldn't be right, it wouldn't feel right. As I mentioned, I focused on hip-hop because it's one my my passions. Of course what I think is good is subjective but they at least should have put together a playlist that had some... identity? Run the Jewels, Mac Dre, Dizzee Rascal and Naughty By Nature? What a hodge podge of whatever that is!

I am probably taking this too seriously but it really does bother me how much of a missed opportunity the soundtrack is in Watch Dogs 2. As a big Rap/Hip-Hop fan, I am especially disappointment by the lack of Bay Area Hip-Hop in the game. The only artist in the game who fits the bill is Mac Dre but the rest of the Hip-Hop on here is just sporadic as fuck. Did Ubisoft forget that their game is set in San Francisco or did they get access to these songs on the cheap years ago and just threw them on here? I love Eric B. and Rakim, I really do but they have no place in this game. Oh and don't get me started on Dizzee Rascal, he can fuck right off. Would it have killed them to put in some E-40, Too $hort, Spice 1, etc.? You know, actual Bay Area artists?

Rockstar Games on the other hand, clearly get it. In Grand Theft Auto V, the West Coast Classics station was a perfect mix of popular songs and lesser known gems that really help you immerse in the game's version of Los Angeles. A large part of this is thanks to the fact the songs that the chose are actually from the West Coast! It's not hard people. Even Mafia III, which isn't that great of a game in my opinion, managed to hit a home run with its well thought out soundtrack which is often cited as one of the best points of the entire game. In my opinion, a good licensed soundtrack is actually a big part of this particular style of open world game.

However, the soundtrack in Watch Dogs 2 feels like an afterthought. Generally, I do think the soundtrack is an absolute shambles and it feels so thrown together. I know have focused on Hip-Hop in this rant but that's just because that's my passion but even in the Rock playlist, you have Megadeth and Creedance Clearwater Revival right next to each other. Talk about chalk and cheese! They could not even be bothered to spell DJ Quik or Eric B's names correctly, which clearly demonstrates how little of a fuck Ubisoft gave when putting this soundtrack together. A real shame.

I did put together a 1990s focused Rap/Hip-Hop YouTube playlist with songs that I think would have been a good fit for Watch Dogs 2. If you want to check that out, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhvICX-r_PqUlgK4RQWrO6-hu5KAZtjWx

Thank you for reading my rant.

@lego_my_eggo:

Yeah, I have been trying to get that going today but I have been met with a error page. Sony are aware of the error, hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up though!

@berfunkle: Sorry to reply to such an old thread but I am actually dealing with this right now. I am fairly sure my account was hijacked in either March or April, but after changing my password, I never really thought much of it. The only reason why I know this is because one of my friends saw "me" playing Hitman at some crazy time in the morning. It definitely was not me though.

Last night, there was PSN maintenance going on and while I was playing Lords of the Fallen (one of the hot new PS+ games) I noticed that a message popped up saying something about the application was going to suspended in 15 minutes.

After doing some research, this message pops up when trying to access digital content without an Internet connection. If your PS4 is activated as the primary PS4, then this is not a problem. However, I am pretty sure whenever that guy hijacked my account, he was savy enough to deactivate all of my systems and his PS4 is now the primary system. Fucking asshole.

Anyone who knows anything about this process knows that when you deactivate systems remotely online, you can only do it every six months. What a lot of fucking nonsense. This Primary console bullshit has to go! Really hope I can deactivate that asshole's PS4 either this month or next month. I haven't even bothered with trying to talk to Sony Customer Support, from what I am reading online, they will just refuse to help you on this topic, which is a disgrace.

I've been playing the PS4 version and it runs likes a one legged dog. Awful, not since Shellshock 2 and Rogue Warrior has an FPS ran so poorly on consoles.
