    Contrary to other people's reviews, I found this game very great, and I've been playing through it solidly since release. The shooting is nice, responsive and fantastic! Hacking your way around Chicago is great and it really does help out in those car chases and battles.
    Driving could do a bit of work, yet again I'm not a driving enthusiast when it comes to games, but yet for an open world game the driving could have been better. Too slippery. The story is really well done, and late into the game you begin to sort of feel an attachment to these characters, it's really great.

    This is not worthy of GOTY 2014, but it's still a good game to play, rent it if you want.    … Expand

    first off for those saying the visuals is a step down from E3 2012 it is true but can be made to achieve by using mods ..as for the game is pretty awesome .. one of the best new IPs out there . an interesting take on hacking . the only downside is the driving . it needs to be getting used to. other than that the story is good gameplay is fun.

    The user score for this game is ridiculous. I have to admit the game has A LOT of problems, but the biggest problem it has is the hype that built around it.

    First I'm going to talk about the problems I experienced with the game, then I will talk about graphics and finally I will tell you why I still like the game a whole lot.
    I had to deal with frequent crashes (a minimum of one in two hours), bad performance (running 680s sli), bad mouse and keyboard handling (played with my xbox controller after the first 5 minutes ingame) and finally a bug corrupted my save file and I had to start the game all over again. Also there were the Uplay problems on the release day that were really easy to avoid.
    The frequent crashes were annoying but I can live with that. Bad performance? Turn the settings down. Yes it's that easy. Playing with the controller was actually very nice after I got used to it. The corrupted save files really pissed me off but I really wanted to play that game and I was no that far into the game anyways.
    Now let's get to the graphics. Complaining about stupidly hyped graphics is ridiculous, especially if you own a crappy PC that is not even close to running high or even ultra settings. The game looks nice, you can't argue that. It is not the best looking game ever that's for sure but it plays in a very high league. The textures partially blew my mind because they are god-tier on ultra. You have to consider that Watch Dogs is an open world game, so uber graphics as you can see in Metro: Last Light for example (if you don't like the example just take one of the best looking games you personally know) are not possible in this setting because then performance would be even worse. Considering that Watch Dogs performs pretty okay, hopefully a future patch will make it even better.
    To round it all up, yes, the game has its problems but I had tons of fun playing it. It is far from perfect, definitely not the game of the year, but damn, it's fun!
    The hacking is fun because you just have to press a button (many people complained about that) because it keeps gameplay fluent. The minigames are fun. There is actually a lot of stuff to do in the city (I already have more than 20 hours ingame and I never got bored) and your actions affect the city a little bit. If you just randomly kill people and cause a blood bath on every corner of the street, people will notice you and call the police. If you are very nice the police won't even come after you because the citizens see you as a hero.
    My conclusion is the following: the hype really hurt the game, the game is far from perfect but it really is fun! Go buy this game ;)    … Expand

    But that's about as far as the good stuff goes. Here comes the bad. Now, I had to install this game onto a USB, so that may be the reason for some of these problems, but still, I had to install this game three times, with 45 minutes per installation. You could understand my immense anger in doing that, it shouldn't have had to happen. Also, the game locks up on me. A lot. I've had it lock up on me eight times, each time being on a bridge. And now I'm on a mission where I have to take down an idiot in a firetruck. Who goes onto a bridge. It locks up on me every time, giving me an Error screen...
    But, those are the glaring technical issues. Other issues are as follows:
    - WHY can't I shoot from my vehicle, and WHY can others shoot me from theirs!?
    - The Enforcers...I hate them, they soak up WAY too much ammo to drop, but they can kill you in a matter of seconds?!
    - Skill tree. Another cliche in gaming.
    - Revenge. Another cliche in gaming.
    - While Aiden is bearable, he's kind of an ****

    If the technical issues didn't occur, or if they don't occur when the game is installed onto an XBox 360 Hard Drive, I'd immediately give this game a 7 out of 10, but as it stands, this game is unplayable.    … Expand

    After playing a finishing the game, I return to "fix" my previous rating of 7. This is definitely not a 7.

    I don't really understand how people can say this is a different kind of gameplay. The Watch Dogs (all platforms) gameplay is nearly identical to GTA V or Assassin's Creed. You have the same "main story" structure, about the same actions to perform and same side-quests/minigames.    After playing a finishing the game, I return to "fix" my previous rating of 7.

    The main difference is that this game contains a much more annoying forcible push to multiplayer but in modes that are unimaginative and repetitive. They get really old and really fast and are much worse than the also repetitive single player "side quests".

    The city isn't breathing life, it's idiotic. Shoot a person? Police are on to you and you lose "street cred", ok. Run over a civilian? No police but you get a drop in reputation. Cause an accident killing tens of civilians or intentionally push a car to crush pedestrians? Nothing.

    Civilians behave idiotically following accidents. Often they remain in burning cars or sit around burning cars waiting to explode. They don't tend to each other, no police goes on the scene and no ambulances come as well, no matter how many dead.

    The story is bland (although not as predictive as some say), the world isn't immerssive (nowhere near Assassin's Creed for example), the characters are stereotypical cardboard and some are downright annoying.

    Also, Aiden is unable to jump over stuff. Sure, he can vault over obstacles, but he can't jump over a half a meter pit to get from a railing to a roof (the kind of jumps they breeze through in Assassin's Creed).

    Watch Dogs is the only game I ever regretted buying.
    This overhyped title promised us an unforgettable experience; instead we got a bugged game with a storyline full of fillers and clichés and boring side missions.
    Although this game has some very few redeeming moments (some story missions, cop chases), but their number is very little compared to the whole picture.

    It uses uplay, that's all you need to know. Uplay is no good, annoying software. Even if you buy a steam version you are forced to use uplay. do not buy it until ubisoft drop the uplay.

    Cannot play because of uPlay (what an irony). When uPlay is up it wants to do a perpetual cycle of updating and when it isn't it just won't log on. Ubisoft support is terrible. Impossible to get a refund even though I haven't got the opportunity to play the game. Never going to buy another Ubisoft game until this terrible service is removed.

    Ubisoft's flagship title has a really, really repulsive protagonist. The entire storyline feels like it was cranked out of a automated story generator. On the positive side, Watch Dogs looks really good on PC, especially after modding the graphics to match the visual splendor of the early E3 demos. [Aug 2014]

    There are some strong gameplay elements in Watch Dogs, but overall it's merely an adequate open world game. [July 2014, p.46]

    Nothing could have realistically lived up to the immense level of hype that Ubisoft stirred up for this game, and while I value strong narratives and envelope-pushing technological advancements, I place just as much importance in the ability to enjoy the gameplay that's being offered to me. Watch Dogs is one of the more exciting sandbox games of the last few years, and if this is to become Ubisoft's next big franchise, I'm excited to see where they take it.
