In fact nothing intends you to stay in the game, it's not serious, it's not funny, it's repetitive. Passed the 3 first hours of fun and discovery you will be bored.
    The most impressive is the city, it's big, but yet you don't fell atracted to play in it. The game felt a little like "infamous" for me but really more boring.
    There are some good ideas (the prison for example) but yet ... it's only some minutes of fun in hours of game ...
    Moreover if you want to play an ethical hacker forget about it, you will take gun and shoot people ... ho and the police doesn't care, so ...
    This game is a good concept, had a very impressive commercial team and finally is disappointing.
    Buy it when it will be around 20/30$ else is too much expensive.    … Expand

    If the driving looks horrendous by itself, the gunplay is really put to shame by this game. And it really didn't even need MP3 for that.

    Ubisoft should stop with the lazyness and the re-branding of their Assassin's Creed games.
    They should, will they though? No. Why would they? They still manage somehow to trick a lot of people into thinking their game is good and still manage to make money out of it.    … Expand

    It's fun to play for a few days but after that it's nothing more to do.
    The missions get you stuck, The side missions are almost all the same.
    I won't buy this now. Maybe if they add some DLC's or more updates

    Negatives:
    NPC calling 911 system fails (Too OP)
    Nothing to do in the city (Only A few games)
    Not so many cars

    One of the most boring games i've ever played. Primitive and boring story, boring hacking, repetitive and uninteresting missions, boring characters. Very poor optimization. Very bad physics.

The driving mechanics are even worse than GTA IV and the "Ultra Quality" reflections are still the same pre-rendered crap but with a higher resolution texture. Even with a GTX 780 ti I get stutters that range anywhere from .1 seconds to a ridiculous 3 seconds along with textures that flicker through walls. The stuttering occurs even more frequently when driving fast which only adds on to the horrible driving mechanics. I've tried downclocking everything and I've tried the latest WHQL and Beta drivers to no avail. Two months after release and they still haven't fixed the stuttering. What a joke, Ubisoft. Too bad we're the butt of that joke. If you haven't bought the game yet, don't. Even for $5 this game isn't worth it with all of it's atrocious performance issues.… Expand

    I wanted this game to be good but unfortunately that wasn't the case. It's the same game as Far Cry and Assassin's Creed re-skinned. The graphics have been considerably downgraded to be the same on consoles. And between the bugs, childish memes, and boring gameplay, this is quite possibly the worst game I've ever played.

    The technical problems are shocking - I can't believe how horrible the driving physics are considering Ubisoft has proven once before that they can do a good driving game (Driver: San Francisco).

    Aside from that, the on-foot traversal is clumsy, the shooting mechanics mediocre, the hacking elements asinine, and the storyline and characters completely lacking. Only minimal fun can be eked out in short bursts before the tedium sets in.

    Just about the only thing that can be said is that the environment artists did a fair job of detailing the city, but this is let down by a poorly optimised graphics engine.

    Sadly this generated massive sales for Ubisoft and this is apparently all they care about, so we can expect more dross like this in future. I won't be foolish enough to fall for it again.    … Expand

Changing the settings to medium caused game breaking lag and on ultra my entire system was brought to its knees.

    While first impression of the game makes it look like a rip-off of GTA IV, side missions an arcade games makes it a little bit fun. But that fun ends when game becomes unbelievably repetitive.

    Watch Dogs in its current state, with post-release patch, is playable and runs fine on PC. This review is written based on a modded and patched Watch_Dogs, which eliminates the poor performance and lackluster graphics of the original release. However, the game itself and its core mechanics still suffer from a simplicity that destroys the game's (re-) play value.

    When you first start    Watch Dogs in its current state, with post-release patch, is playable and runs fine on PC. This review is written based on a modded and patched Watch_Dogs, which eliminates the poor performance and lackluster graphics of the original release. However, the game itself and its core mechanics still suffer from a simplicity that destroys the game's (re-) play value.

    When you first start playing this game and the possibilities of hacking open up to you, it all seems very promising and fun. The city of Chicago is quite large, the setting is interesting, the game looks great (with E3 graphics mod, that is) and runs smooth. An absolutely *massive* amount of mini-games, collectibles and other small events becomes available quite fast, and before finishing the first Act of five of the games' story, it is very likely you will have explored all of these options. It is also very likely that you will hack everything and everyone you come across (simply because there is no effort involved) which will quickly fill your bank account and allows you to unlock every single weapon in the game.

    And then... then you've played 4-5 story missions, done some random events, and you stumble upon the fact that this is it. The game won't get any more interesting. The game won't surprise you at any time. The difficulty of missions is only ramped up by linking a number of repetitive objectives together. The best moments of creativity consist of walking around looking for cameras to hack a ctOS tower, or a QR code. All of the side missions are just variations on the same objective set, which is extremely limited: kill or knock down a target, drive a time trial, avoid cops, hit Q to hack something.

    At its core, Watch Dogs is an open-world cover-based shooter with some gimmicks added to it that make the game far too easy and straightforward. Within the first three hours of play, the endless rinse-and-repeat of objectives and collectibles makes the otherwise well detailed city a boring place. The story itself is not bad, but the protagonist is a lifeless shell with zero personality that directly detracts from the great setting and potential of the narrative.

    For those who approach games like these with a sandbox- attitude, here is what your gripes with the game will likely be:

    - Every single thing in this game is a recap of things you have done in other Ubisoft free roamers like AC and Far Cry. Capturing watchtowers, taking camps, time trial races, and a crapload of collectibles that have no impact on the game in any way.

    - Every bit of creativity that could go into hacking is lost due to the incredible lack of skill needed to do so. Hit Q to hack world, really.

    - With hacking being repetitive and overly simplified, all this game has going for it is cover-based gunplay and driving vehicles.

    - Driving vehicles is not too bad, but even on PC will work far better with a gamepad. I played this game with a dualshock PS3 gamepad, and it felt like the way it should be played. Keyboard/mouse driving is horrible, overly responsive and poorly implemented.

    - Shootouts are only challenging if you choose to use the cheapest weaponry and stay off the 'Focus' button. What 'Q' is for hacking, 'Focus' is the shortcut to facerolling every encounter in combat.

    At its core, Watch Dogs feels like a complete rinse-and-repeat of other Ubisoft titles and game concepts. Lazy, boring, repetitive and an utter waste of such a promising setting and game world.

    Watch Dogs could have been, should have been so much more than this.    … Expand

I certainly love the whole hacking thing where you can use your phone to stop your pursuers or use for a distraction to slip past guards without knowing. There are these radio tower things which act like assassins creed synchronization points which you have to unlock the tower to be able to access some things that i cant even remember and when get to the box thingy to unlock it you have to play some sort of mingame sometimes which can be very very annoying at times. he multiplayer is pretty fun roaming Chicago with your friends causing mayhem is very fun to do.

However, the optimization was left to two starving interns to do and the game suffers from every optimization problem you could imagine : a whole lot of input lag, a huge memory leak on most configs, lots of stutter, terrible FPS even at the lowest settings, no DX9 support...

    The game itself is an average GTA-like built around a gimmick that is very limited in use. Whereas the game could have been an open-world Hitman with lots and lots of ways to get around an enemy or kill them directly using your environment as a weapon, most of the hacking is either mandatory or unnecessary (because a run and gun approach is just much simpler). You can't use a combination of hacks to kill an enemy (say, reversing the escalators time and time again to make him panic before he decides to take the elevator that you then proceed to drop a few hundred feet). It just ends up feeling like an other way of killing civilians when you get bored looking at the amazing trench coats physics.

    It's overall a very shallow game with a badly integrated gimmick that is just gonna end being a dumb franchise that will slowly die off.    … Expand

But do not forget that each trailer is pre renderer and nothing can be done. Another thing is when in the end the game turns out not so miserable as was shown in the trailer, then the perturbations originate. I played only this year and it's pretty nice to play. though the dialogue is not brilliant, but not poor. Up to this point I like many believed this game, a pass or worse. But I was pleasantly surprised how the game was interesting and quite pleasant. Of the minuses can highlight the complete lack of songs on the radio, listening was nothing special and the selection of songs, very very bad, although the points in some missions with the ambient pleased. I would like to see more positive characters of the events, a bit of humor, and it turned out that the game is straight serious, even in side quests, especially not laugh. The developers have tried, the world looks alive, it has something to do, even just to go and to consider the surroundings were pleasant. As for the design, and all of the same game that I quite liked, it was nice to see a picture, and if the dialogue is in the trailer, then all that would've been sweet. All the time I was comparing the game with GTA V and quite often understood that looking dogs I prefer from a visual point of view, to recall gray and rich in GTA V (with SweetFx) the game is changing, but if you play vanilla version, all pale like that (always I was surprised) why I can made the picture brighter.In General, it was a pleasure to be in the game Chicago, hack everything you can with the help of mobile phones, artfully evade pursuit, blocking the way.

    Та самая игра которая вызвала интерес своим подходом в трейлере на e3, а потом огромный поток возмущения по поводу несоответствие графики, вполне заслуженный. Но не будем забывать что каждый трейлер является пре рендером и тут ничего не поделаешь. Другое дело когда в итоге игра получается не настолько убога как была показана в трейлере, тогда и возмущения исходят на нет. Я поиграл лишь в этом году и мне вполне было приятно играть. хоть графон и не блистательный, но и не убогий. До этого момента я как и многие считал эту игру, проходной или того хуже. Но я был приятно удивлен насколько игра оказалась интересной и вполне приятной. Из минусов могу выделить, полное отсутствие песен по радио, слушать было особо нечего да и подборка песен, совсем уж неудачная, хотя моменты в некоторым миссиях с эмбиентом порадовали. Хотелось бы увидеть больше положительных персонажей событий, толику юмора, а то получилось так, что игра прям серьезная, даже в побочных заданиях особо не посмеешься. Разработчики постарались, мир выглядит живым, в нем есть чем заняться, даже просто покататься и по рассматривать окрестности оказалось приятным делом. Что касается дизайна, и все такого же графона, то мне вполне пришлось по душе, было приятно наблюдать картинку, а уж если бы графон как в трейлере, то вообще выла бы конфетка. Все время я сравнивал игру с GTA V и довольно часто понимал, что смотрящие псы мне больше нравятся с визуальной точки зрения, вспомнить хотя бы серую и не насыщенную GTA V (с SweetFx) игра преображается, но вот если играть в ванильную версию, то все как то блекло. В общем было приятно находится в игровом Чикаго, взламывать все что можно с помощью мобилы, искусно уходить от погони, преграждая пути.    … Expand

    The 'hacking' is horrible, the health/hurt is horrible, the driving and cars are horrible. After a while, everything's the boring same. The AR mini games are fun, thank god for those, but only once or twice. The problem isn't just not living up to the enormous hype, it's just not a good game. The story is ridiculous and I can't help but HATE the very self absorbed, annoying main character.The 'hacking' is horrible, the health/hurt is horrible, the driving and cars are horrible.

    There's hardly anything good about this game. The AI is absolutely horrid, the hacking isn't even all that interesting, and nearly all of the missions are the same. It's kinda fun for about 2 hours, but then things get repetitive. The city isn't that interesting and doesn't look that good either. It's a good game to pick up if you manage to find it for $5 or less.

    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.
