    This was an enjoyable game and the story line wasn't so bad afterall. I feel like the user score made me feel like this game was a piece of crap and it wasn't. Yes the hacking process is a bit gimicky but what game DOESN'T have a gimicky element to it?

    It's open world comparable to GTA in a futuristic Chicago. I dig it.

    If you like the openess of the GTA series, but wish it had a story line that was worth playing all the way through you want watch dogs. It's a really good open world game.

    The people scoring this game a "0" are...in my opinion....proof of just how socially retarded and petty a lot of folks in the gaming "community" have become.

    Watch Dogs is a very well made game that's a lot of fun to play. It's quite polished. It doesn't break the mold. It takes a developed concept (open, sandbox world you can explore however long you want) and adds a few new ideas.

But take the thing on its own merits and it is definitely worth the purchase. I don't CARE about GTA V. I don't care if basement dwellers feel they were misled regarding the graphics. The graphics are solid. And I can't understand giving a game a "0" out of some sense of socially inept, acne driven rage. Or how people can actually root for companies providing them with games to FAIL. Lame. All you've done is convinced me to stop looking at game site forums or metacritic user reviews. You have nothing constructive to say. You got nothing HONEST to say. And you're coming across as hateful to people who have done NOTHING to you. You don't want a product, then don't buy it. For the rest of ya, it's worthy of addition to your game library.    … Expand

    Watch dogs is not a bad game. Sure their may be 2 sexual references but their is 48 hours of gameplay. You cannot see people having sex through their webcams. Every big name game has a few bad things but they're not entirely bad. It's a good game with a great story that's not intentionally bad.

Distract guards, create blackouts, steal cars,or hack bank accounts you can do it all.
    The game is basically a mix of Assassins creed and Gta. Whenever you start the game you get put right in the action. You can hack into other players games and do mini games. You can also play multiplayer free roam and do games with other players. WATCH_DOGS is just a really good modern next gen game that everyone is playing appropriate for tweens and teens.    … Expand

There's plenty of things to do after the campaign is over, and even the multiplayer hacking is exciting, and can lead to a few ridiculous moments. I'm certain that if Ubisoft made an online mode for Watch Dogs, it would be much better than the GTA online garbage that Rockstar spewed out. I'm fairly certain that all of the negative reviews are from people who somehow thought that this game wouldn't about hacking. The driving takes a bit of getting used to, but is on par with GTA V. 9/10.… Expand

Being set in a futuristic city of Chicago I feel the best things going for Watch Dogs has to be the innovative story it has set, along with decent character developments that will keep you wanting more even after the story is over. The only things that truly held this game back from being the best it could be was due to a bit of rushed story plot lines, quality control and a tad of repetitive gameplay. None the less Watch Dogs is truly a next gen experience that you will want to play at some point and that is why I feel this game deserves a 8.5/10!… Expand

    This game has got the great Ubisoft open-world feel to it, and it works well. The graphics and gameplay mechanics are excellent, but nothing special. The story is the main let-down for this game. They could have taken it so far, but it turned out to be just your average revenge tale. The multi-player, frankly, is unnecessary, and failed to hold my interest for even half an hour.

The multi-player, frankly, is unnecessary, and failed to hold my interest for even half an hour.
    Now for the positives! The game not only is very atmospheric with the bustling streets and sneaking around the city, but it also feels very busy. This adds the effect that you can't keep track of everyone, so you could miss your target. The story, despite being basic as I said before, does actually pick up towards the end, so I do recommend sticking with it. I will be having a second playthough, but my first "speed-run" took nine hours to complete, so the game, (if you do all the side content/missions) should take around 20 hours; an acceptable length. The map is beatiful and big (the same size as GTA 5's main city area), and is extemely detailed and deep. The game, lastly, is unique, and I must admit it is actually much better than similar games, such as GTA. Don't believe the troll reviews between 1-4, this is a top quality game, worth the money.    … Expand

It does have a few graphical issues, but what game doesn't? A lot of people are also comparing this game to GTA5. Although the games do have some similarities, that doesn't mean they should be compared. The real only thing in this game that is "realistic" is that the city of Chicago is a real place (duh). Other than that, it's like any other game where it extends reality and adds a twist. This game reminds me more of Saints Row than GTA5. The driving mechanics are not realistic as you can plow through a car and have little to no damage to your car. But stealth can be a huge factor in this game if you like being sneaky even when you don't have to. The story is captivating as far as I have gotten but I always find myself spending more time going into other peoples games and trying to hack them. Although it seems annoying when someone does it, it bring something new and fresh gameplay rather than just running through the campaign as fast as you can. Of course you can disable the multiplayer aspect whenever you wish, but by doing so, you're missing on something special that only Watch Dogs brings to the table. If you are only looking for a realistic game to play, this game isn't for you. This game is more to those people that enjoy goofing off in a game. To those asking "is this game worth the $60 price tag", I would say yes, but waiting on a game sale may not be a bad idea. But this is a game worth trying.… Expand

In summary, this game shows great potential for a sequel, much like the first Assassin's Creed. If you're not sure; rent, buy used, or just wait for a price drop.

    Pros:
    -The side missions are fun, especially the Sound Trip missions. I really like the gang hideouts as well.
    -For the most part, the game gives you the option to kill, knock out, or altogether avoid the enemies during missions.
    - The shooting mechanics are fairly tight and it has one of the best cover mechanics I've seen in any open world game, GTA could take some notes here.
    -The character models on secondary characters are really good.
    -The city is fun to explore and the visuals are overall really nice, especially when it rains.

    Cons:
    - The story is extremely boring, poorly paced, and forgettable.
    - The main character, Aiden Pearce, is not someone the player can relate to or even support.
    - The driving is terrible (though I've gotten used to it and can maintain control in almost any situation) especially surprising given that the guys from the Driver series cam in to help. Driving can be bad in some games, but almost every car in this game handles like the beaters from GTA4.
    - Random difficulty spikes, sometimes the AI can't hit the broad side of a barn, other times they have pinpoint accuracy with a pistol from afar.

    Yes, the game doesn't look like it's initial E3 trailer, but we have to remember that Ubisoft didn't know the final specs of the new consoles. I'm not saying we should let it slide, but don't pass on a decent game just for graphics. I initially wrote this game off, but I'm glad I gave it a try.    … Expand

Everyone has been saying this is another GTA clone but for me the similarity's ended at open world sandbox in a modern city it's like saying every MMO is a WOW clone. First off those saying the graphics are horrible and not next gen worthy i really dont know if were seeing the same game because this game looks great almost feel im in a movie at times and the collision detection they have set up for car crashes is great seen a few that are just brutal. As for the world it seems it vibrant and alive people react to you walk by and you hear them gossip and chit chat the issue i have though is it lacks depth. There is alot to do but i just feel like there's some underlining component that's still missing in the open world. As far as driving goes only issues i have with control are after hitting the gas too long and it becomes hard to steer but... that makes sense so doesn't make problem for me. Now where it is suppose to be similar to other games is causing a ruckus to anger cops to run from. Watch dogs as a bar that discourages you from killing random civilians or else you wil be labeled a menace and people will call the police on you. well some may be disappointed by this i feel it make alot more sense and in the way watch dogs does it adds more to the game. If aiden is seen as a hero you can largely get away with some things with people not caring shoot to many people though and those phones will come out quick(oh btw you can shoot the people making the call lots of fun). When the phones do come out and cops are called is where watch dogs begins to distance itself as running from the cops has never been more thrilling in any game. They start by scanning the area for you once they find you police cars are dispatched and chase is on. During the chase scenes aiden has his phone to have all kinds of surprises with a few skill up grades aiden can raise bridges to pas activate traffic lights as he goes under causing cars to ram into chasing cops disable helicopter or my favorite so far activate road blockers causing the cops to smash into them. All of it is a lot of fun and adds more then just driving to a cop chase. On foot aidens phone is just as fun he can use it to blow power boxes causing black out or using it to hack into devices of guards. The story isn't a blockbuster hit but it is still engaging and leaving me entertained and ready to see whats next. Aidens phone also allows you to become the biggest creeper on the planet as you can look up quick tidbits about peoples lives income and even ahck their bank accounts and listen to their conversations. This feature is cool although the first part about getting tidbits about people lives is something thats like "ha this is cool...but what do i do with that.." so the guy makes weird Google searches or is being treated for depression...while that makes the world feel real what is the use in all that? Another issue that could have added more to it was the skill tree. At first i saw it and thought oh this is cool i can choose if i want to be better at driving or hacking or combat but in reality you gain skill points so fast that i've already grabed all the skills on my tier and just waiting for next tier to unlock. Also although some skills point are cool ive already unlock most of the ones that i wanted. I think this this skill "tree" needs a bit more to it better skill and more depth so its not more of a skill shrub. The stealth system is fun but it works alot better at night when you can cut the power. There are plenty of way to take out armed guards but most of the cool hacking ways involves blowing a fuse or gas pipe which does the job but then alerts people there is someone nearby so more quiet ways would be cool. The mutiplayer system is alot of fun its cool to hack into someones game and try to stay outa sight while getting data its also satisfying to find someone doing the same to you and popping them in the head

    All in all while Watch dogs is a ground breaking hit that breaks bounds it does add alot of cool new features and twists to a genre that really makes it stand out on its own. It's alot of fun to to play and is a good change of pace. There are however always improvements to be made and i think if Ubisoft can add some more depth (like given us a reason its important that man looks up too much porn or she plays to much online gaming rather then just there) and improve their skills trees maybe even give us more sweet hacks this could be another hit franchise for them as it stands now great game and a solid start.    … Expand

    Enter Watch Dogs.

    Watch Dogs is like a peanut butter hamburger, or in this case, a combination of Splinter Cell (stealth, take-downs, gadgets and gun combat) and GTA V (open world, vehicles and all out carnage)--two games you wouldn't think would go together well, but when combined make a most unexpected and delicious...er...awesome game.

    Don't get me wrong, the game isn't perfect, the driving mechanics aren't the best I've seen and some of the characters are a little dull, and the graphics in next-gen aren't quite next-gen (at times--water is gorgeous!). Besides that, there is a ton of fun to be had including a massive stack of main and side quests, phone games and city games. The game isn't short on content, and that's just the single player. Once you jump on to multiplayer you'll have a blast racing, hacking in to unexpected players, shooting your way to hack the objective from other teams or just raising hell in free roam.

    I'm bumping my review up to a nine although it realistically is in the 8.5 range. Obviously I've had a blast playing so far and honestly don't know what all the stigma is about. The same kids that complain all shooters are the same are the ones trying to compare this to GTA. It has more of an arcade feel and that holds true to the driving as well. I recommend playing it.

    Watch Dogs is an amazing game. Don't listen to the people who give it a yellow/red. I was excited for this game ever since it was announced, and I can safely say I was not dissapointed. The game is amazing, fun, and addicting. Like any ubisoft game, it has a LONG storyline, which is good so there's more to do in the game. The hacking ability is very unique and useful.

I played the game for about 5-6 hours, and I'm only 6% done! That just SHOWS how much there is! The world of Chicago is MASSIVE, which is also good so there's more room for missions. The voice acting is great, and after I was done playing, I was left wanting more. The game is fun, that's just it. That's the word you use to describe an amazing game. And Watch Dogs DEFININTLY deserves it.… Expand

    Watch Dogs...Bem se tratando do primeiro game sandbox da Ubisoft, pode-se dizer que ela conseguiu cumprir o seu papel. Uma temática bacana, um conceito que embora demore a se desenrrolar é bom, um protagonista que de hacker não tem nada, mas que consegue conquistar o jogador com o seu objetivo embora controverso porém curioso.

Uma temática bacana, um conceito que embora demore a se desenrrolar é bom, um protagonista que de hacker não tem nada, mas que consegue conquistar o jogador com o seu objetivo embora controverso porém curioso. Acho que se não fosse pelo HYPE e pelo tão discutido e contraditório DOWNGRADE feita pela gigante de Montreal, este game teria notas melhores e seria bem menos estilhaçado pela imprensa especializada e por que mais importa, nós jogadores. Mas numa geração que acabou de nascer, onde o que mais importa é resolução e rates, pra mim, o jogo está muito bom....… Expand

    I've never disagreed with the critics' reviews of a game more. I almost didn't by this game and am so happy I ignored all the reviews out there. Usually I agree with the critics but this game is a huge exception. It took about 10 hours to get used to because the gameplay is so unique but once I got the hang of things, my opinion of this game completely changed.

It took about 10 hours to get used to because the gameplay is so unique but once I got the hang of things, my opinion of this game completely changed. It might one of the best games I've ever played and it blows my mind that so many people are reviewing this game so poorly. Everything is extremely polished and it's obvious they put a ton of work into this game. The blackout move is one of the coolest special powers I've ever seen in a video game and the random invasions by other players through online multiplayer is such a cool concept. I couldn't recommend this game more highly and hope more people ignore the ridiculous reviews out there and give this game a chance. It's definitely the best next gen game yet.… Expand

    I think that this game looks beautiful. It has a sense of atmosphere and weight while maintaining its fun to play feel.
    It does veer into the ridiculous conventions sometimes found in action movies, but I think that is part of its charm. I feel like I can be as serious or silly as I want depending on my mood.

    I thinks that the 0 ratings for this game are unwarranted. I understand that there was a lot of hype about this game, and that more than a few people feel letdown, but a 0 rating out of anger or misunderstanding makes no sense to me.
    This game may not be for everyone but I look forward to being immersed in it for days to come.    … Expand

    Idk why there are so many ppl giving not just negative reviews but 1's and 0's! Ridiculous! I gave it a 10 just to balance out the 0's but in reality it's a 9 in my book. Great graphics, smooth controls, movement, gunplay, etc. The driving is a little arcade like but all
    In all serves it's purpose and is solid. Tons of things to do besides main story line, decent main character and    Idk why there are so many ppl giving not just negative reviews but 1's and 0's!

    In all serves it's purpose and is solid. Tons of things to do besides main story line, decent main character and really good supporting cast. Story is a generic revenge take but picks up steam and is good enough. Multiplayer is a good distraction and can be a lot of fun, mind you that it is not going to replace Titanfall but it is a nice addition. In the end if you like open world sandbox games and own and Xbox 1 or PS4 then this is a no brainer. If you still have a 360 or PS3 then I can't speak to those editions because I haven't played it on either console. Hope this was helpful to anyone on the fence and I wish we could all work together as a gaming community to give honest and accurate reviews of our opinions of the game but I digress. The trolls are not going away anytime soon but I wish certain ppl whom i will remain nameless, who has given over 50 games a 0/10 would be banned. Thanks for reading and have fun with the game or whatever game you choose to buy/play.    … Expand

    If you were expecting Watch Dogs to take the genre in new directions then you’re going to be sorely disappointed. With that being said, Watch Dogs is still an engaging and often times surprising action game.

    With this introduction to the world of hacking Ubisoft have created a behemoth of an IP, one that promises much. Like its predecessor though, we’ll have to wait for the tighter and more focussed second iteration, removing what didn’t work and improving that which did, to realise that full potential.

    Consistently entertaining but lacking in originality, Watch Dogs boasts a hugely promising concept but finds itself coasting along on the triumphs of others. You won’t be disappointed, but you won’t be surprised either.
