So I started playing with it today on my ps3.Well I must say im disappointed.Expected a lot more.The graphics are way worse than say GTA5.Gameplay is repetitive,and gets uber boring after an hour.For example:Crime intervention.Its happening every 2 minute....Its like you dont even bother preventing the crime coz its always the same.Get to the area,scan for potential criminals/victims,wait for it to happen and the bam takedown...You get a few xp plus some reputation.Skill tree is ridic..Typical new era,simplyfied toned down.
I will give it one more try tomorrow,focusing on the main storyline,maybe it gets better there.
Oh and one more thing:The music they are basically forcing on u while u are driving is crazy..U can change channels obiously but all of the channels are annoying.Its worse than it was in GTA5.
Anybody who expected otherwise is deluded lol.

Anyone get a chance to try this on PC? Some early copies are getting leaked. Got to try it for a bit before uninstalling. It's not a day 1 purchase for me; but if I see my main issues with the game fixed, I'll be buying it shortly.
My main annoyances were the driving physics and destruction were pretty weak. I doubt they'll change it, but I really was hoping for at least GTA IV level.
The HUD is too big in my opinion, especially with subtitles on it feels a bit blocky.
Field of Distance or whatever it is that loads details from afar such as buildings, trees, cars or even people is shit as fuck. It's 2011/LA Noire level where random shit will pop up or be 'etched' in. That's my biggest grip and by far the most prevalent.
Other than that. Some FPS issues, I assume Day 1 patch will fix it. Couldn't even play it on High and I have a 4 gig 760GTX Nvidia (8 gigs of ram)

I have a PC copy of it currently, it seems okay so far.
The FPS is chopping at times. I'll post more as I play more.

Um. This is weird. My 770GTX / 4.2GHz i7 run it on ultra at 2560x1600 at stable 50 FPS. I tuned down AA but that's about it. I also found the HUD a bit on the small side but that comes from my resolution I'd assume.
Does anyone know if there are solid sites that sell just the key for cheap? Since you're going to have to run uplay anyway, might as well shoot for that...

Yeah, the game was running like shit for me at 1st (GTX 770, 8GB RAM, i5 4670k @ 3.8), i literally just backed off on the AA from 8XMSAA, to FXAA, and getting an easy 60 fps here, actually running really great right now, better than fucking Wolfenstein, at least theres no texture pop anyways.

how are you guys playing it on PC? I got a pre-order when purchasing a gfx but it says the release is the 27th :o
|
We downloaded the hacked version,either PC or PS3.
|
im running it with an i5 2500k @4.5ghz and a 780.
im playing at everything ultra with AA at TXAA x2
i get usually around 45-60fps, sometimes dropping about 35 for a few seconds.
Game looks very good
|
I played 2 hrs of it and then quit. The Game is so fucking boring. I did like 2 mainmissions (still tutorial I guess) 1 sidemission and hacked 3 radio-towers, then I quit of boredom.
The gunplay and driving is fucking awful! You can drive with 200km/h into a wall and you barely see any damage. And the UI is terrible to control with a Mouse, especially the Talent-Tree.
Better save your money and ignore this shitty Game.

so much hype for this game yet it sucks balls. disappointment of the year?

not for me! I expected nothing esle from this game, but tropico series was like my last city builder resort, but that also got consolified for no reason.
This game sounds a lot like the first assassins creed, where it principle it was a cool game, but it was just 100 times doing the same thing over and over with no variation.

Honestly, I'm kind of fine with the latter. I enjoyed what Assassins Creed threw at me again and again because it felt pretty damn fun. What Watch Dogs does good it does so good that I enjoy doing it over and over again. The whole "start hacking from this camera and then work your way through"-gameplay is technically repetitive but fun enough to me to keep doing it for a while in different variations.
I'm actually more annoyed that I feel like I have to play with mouse (shooting) + controller (driving) and I'm still tripping over the controls at times. qq.

For those that torrented it, make sure you didn't also download a bitcoin/ltc miner. I read that those people that downloaded a certain torrent are now mining coins for the host which would explain some poor performance issues.

Frankly im not worried, been doing this sort of thing for over 5 years, never once have i had a virus/rootkit, and if my PC was mining BitCoins, i would notice since performance would drop. I doubt id be able to play this game maxed out, @ 60FPS AND be mining bitcoins at the same time. My PC is awesome, but not THAT awesome haha.

Game is very average.
I think they are just not getting what's fun about an open world game?
One thing that I have always hoped for is the development of AI. Remember the first time you play F.E.A.R.?
The AI were ground breaking, flanking, taking cover etc
In an open world game, the immersion is often spoiled by poor AI and this problem is especially shown here in watchdog.
You can charge into a kissing couple, they would say sorry to YOU and act like they never knew eachother.
Or they dropped an umbrella and never bother about it again.
While the profiling help to give more info for each bot but that's it. No one react to anything differently.
The driving is as mentioned very bad. I don't mind the gun play that much.
There is nothing to explore, the whole world feels soulless and unattractive.

Man F.E.A.R was so fucking good, i almost re-installed it recently lol. Played some Wolfenstein, and while i think its fun, something about it made me think of FEAR, maybe since there's so much blood and particle effects, which i remember alot of in FEAR. Ahh, memories.
Back on topic, im about 3 hours into Watch Dogs, and im enjoying it, albeit, it does seem quite shallow when compared to GTA 5. But hey, GTA 5 for me, was hard to play since i find it difficult to play @ 30 FPS, and terrible aliasing everywhere, PC gaming spoils some things i suppose. But i did have one cool moment in WD, kind of accidental too, since I didnt see the point of hacking stop lights. I was in a car chase, following some dude, i just held Q at an interesction which switched the stop light color, the traffic perpendicular to us just T-boned the shit out of him, then i got out of my car, walked up to his car and shot him in the face. I thought it was pretty entertaining heh.

Maybe, just maybe, the online component is good and the game is worth the price. Right now the game, for me, is not worth full price.

I am going to be so mad when I see scores of 8 or more on review sites. This game is an easy 5 to me, and the graphics arent really the problem so much as the gameplay. I feel like there is literally nothing to do but run around hitting Q.

it was clear from all the previews and the videos that it's a GTA clone with some different elements. You're kidding yourself if you thought otherwise. It's just a matter of whether or not it can be a solid GTA clone like Sleeping Dogs.
