i despise the cop system in the watch dogs games.

such a major pain in the ass to deal with. they just aren't fun at all

What's your reasoning? Just asking because it's not clear why you feel that way.

[Punished_Stallion]

one huge thing that drives me up the wall is wehen they spawn in front of you. it takes years to get into escaping ststus and while youre waiting just to get the yellow bar, you run into more cops.

Weird. Thats not really a problem I have. If anything I prefer these cops more than GTA cops, these ones dont ALWAYS shoot you on sight unless theres a good reason. And I usually dont have a problem escaping the police either, just find a nice spot with your car and press C and wait it out.

These cops use grenades. Like WTFH.

They spawn in front of you when trying to escape via vehicle.

Continuous waves that never end.

The helicopter has magnetism which if you're hiding in a vehicle. Out of the whole area the helicopter always manages to find it's way to the vicinity that you are hiding in. Out of the whole bloody map.

When engaged by gang members they hardly ever call for reinforcements. But when you accidently run into their vehicle or knock a civilian out in front of them they call the whole police department out for you. And not for gangs that are literally killing them with illegal firearms.......

The police AI is dumb and not very immersive.

But then it's America. I've heard the cops are mostly aggresive jocks.

Apart from the shooting at you part, I find the cop programming in GTA5 to be better, especially the cool down search pattern. I know a squad car popping up outta nowhere isn't exactly reasonable. Let's just assume it's one of them on its way to the pursuit but lost track of you and is scouring the area.

Yeah the police search programming in GTA was a lot better. I just didnt like how cops would do anything to kill you no matter what you did in GTA.

And this here, friends, is Blume without any makeup.

Assuming what has been going on in the story, I wouldn't be surprised if Dusan hired Lenni to hack the FBI into convincing the Umeni-Zulu to talk with the congresswoman about infiltrating Nudle to blackmail Haum into asking New Dawn to push Tidis, Galilei, !Nvite and the Cyberdriver on a war against Marcus, hence the excessive aggressivity. That seems to be how it goes, in this game...

easiest way to lose them is either go off road and ditch your car when they lose sight or hide in an alleyway or store, somewhere they wont LOS you
if they dont have line of sight they give up pretty quick

Pretty much the golden rule for any open world game that has driving and cops in it.
