I really expected the car destruction to be remotely decent. Even games from 2011 (LA Noire) did better for Christ's sake

Game runs pretty badly on crossfired 270X's

Got between 45-60 fps indoor's on HIGH. Didn't bother getting through the tutorial because crossfire is also completely broken.

Textures flickering black. MSAA is broken with crossfire and created some sort of weird ghosting.

Apparently some beta drivers will be released tomorrow. So hopefully that will make the game playable.

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.

I got the bitcoin thingy installed by a weird ass install and damn that thing was slowing me down. Now I have another version which runs just fine (despite some massive lag spike on the driveway)

played a few hours and lost interest. sleeping dogs is still the most fun dogs game. sadly underwhelmed. i dont like that he's always looking down at his phone either. The controls feel delayed as well. Mouse and keyboard are a pain to use especially in the menu's. Great concept just boring execution. I did not want to keep playing.

-- Some renewed interest after seeing this gameplay video. Time-slowing is something I really like even though the car chasing and car destruction was absolutely pathetic.

Buy a gamepad, friend ! I bought one recently for Dynasty Warriors and this. I don't regret it. Less hand strains, farther away from the screen etc etc !

SO many people talk and play the game before the release. This early shipping really messed around with it a bit. I'll be getting the game tomorrow and taking my time. I don't mind hitting Q a lot, personally. They shouldn't make it more complicated, it'll just mess with the formula. People are too obsessed with this game and looking at it as the perfect hacking game/simulator because it was kinda marketed that way, but it's an open world GTA-style game with a new mechanic in it that makes it fun. the stealth part of the game looks really fun as well to be honest, and I really just want a decent open world game like GTAIV/SR3. they were the last ones for me, and SR3 was too much of a ''funny'' game to be taken serious.

The only complaint I'm actually taking serious at the moment is the steering of the vehicles (and frame drops, but that's fixable) which is bad in a lot of games unfortunately. It really depends HOW terrible it is. Is it okay but just not GTA level? or is it absolute trash?

After you have played few hours with it you'll be here telling us how we were right,about this game being shitty.
I mean many ppl here mentioned a lot of stuff being super bad about the game.Imagine this:You are racing down the street with 200km/h and crashing in the wall frontally.Results?Not even a dent my friend.Thats how realistic this game is

Sorry, but the Hacking is no new Mechanic! Its just a Ranged-Use Spell.

The only fun moment I had in WatchDogs was when I got on a rampage and escaped the Police by getting away in a elevated railway, like in the movies. :o

I've seen different in atleast a dozen videos. Is that just a bug then? Because I've seen a lot of cases where it doesn't go that way. Also, MOST GTA-like games don't get their car total-loss after a hit with a wall. If that'd be as realistic as could be, there'd be no actual fun playing the game because 1. the game's car mechanics aren't perfect 2. The majority of the players is horseshit at controlling vehicles.

I've spent 80 hrs on Saints Row 3. That game's car mechanics aren't great, nor is it realistic in any way shape or form and has obvious flaws. But I like racing (with friends) in a city, I like shooting up (or in this game, destroying things by hacking) gangs and stuff and I like the campaign of these kinds of games. Even the people that despise this game the most I've heard say it's similar to GTA 5, which is fine by me (I didn't play GTAIV obviously, but I know how the mechanics feel for the GTA games.) I Like running around, hacking people, doing weird stuff, some missions etc, and making a bridge go up or causing a blackout just adds to that, I think (from what I've seen) it's really cool, and the thing that'll probably most impact me is the controls, how loose they are and how good they feel. I'm pretty stoked.

I'm just surprised so many people got their hands on it. Did everyone get so lucky with their order? (Do people actually physically order games anymore..?)

Bullshit. There's a bunch of different elements that make it an entirely new mechanic. I'm not talking about changing all the trafficlights, I'm talking about doing a mission with just hacking. I'm talking about all the extra (mostly useless, but still fun) information you get by hacking. The way you can add the hacking to your strategy. That's not just pressing Q.

It's not amazing, it's not trash either.

It's wrong to think it is GTA clone because it is nothing like GTA.
GTA offers diversity and huge open world and different ways to play the game, watchdog isn't.

In GTA, you can be cops, you can be taxi driver, you can be firefighter, you can fly jets, golf, tennis whatever.

Watchdog is all about scanning around, chase down suspects and unlocking new regions for you to hack people profile
It reminds me of prototype, it's a fun game of its own, but not a AAA title for sure and it gets repetitive very quickly.

sounds like Assasins Creed. Getting somewhere, unlock the map, do all the quests which are always pretty similar etc.

If you still want to play that Game: Wait until tomorrow for the "official reviews" and watch/read all of them. Then decide yourself.

If someone has Performance Problems on Nvidia Cards, a new Driver is out

Game Ready - This 337.88 Game Ready WHQL driver ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience for Watch Dogs.

Performance – Introduces key DirectX optimizations which result in reduced game-loading times and significant performance increases across a wide variety of games compared with the previous 335.23 WHQL. Significant CPU overhead reductions in the driver result in performance gains that will often favor CPU-bottlenecked situations. Per usual, results will vary depending on your GPU, system configuration, and game settings.

I wouldn't buy it at full price. Nothing in this game is justifying that yet. But we still need to see how the multiplayer will work.

Its funny cause im on 314.22 drivers (from over a year ago at this point) using a GTX 770, and my performance has been solid. And thats on an early leak, which might not even be optimized either, will probably wait awhile before upping my drivers haha.
