Watch Dogs - 2

John · 05-28-2014

The game is amazing (I have it on PS4) their are so many activities to do while playing. Not to mention that criminal activity is always happening and you can choose whether to intervene or stop it. I'm also getting alot of hate on the GTA Forums because of the kids on their arguing that the game looks worse then it did in 2012, but that the demo from 2012 shouldn't even be listed. I would take into account of the demo of 2013 and use that for reference on how the game would look when it came out. I say who gives a hoot about the graphics and just play the game on any console you choose from. It looks incredible on PC also. You can play whichever way you want to in this game, but I generally go for stealth because of the amount of fun that is using an entire building as your playground. Ubisoft did incorporate their view points from Assassins creed where you have to climb structures and then hack into a CTOS tower so you can gain access to more missions.

I patched my client up and everything but the game itself is kind of a letdown. It's not the next-gen sandbox a lot of us thought it would be. It's not that bad, but expected more from a 2014 PC release http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/watch-dogs Notice the user reviews.

The only thing that I would call a let down would be that there's no reflections on mirrors. The water though is the best I've ever seen. I do love the free roam. Maybe it's just me who thinks this game is one of the best.

What about the controls? The mediocre textures? Most of the game being out in the ghetto or backwater area?

Controls were good, they had a real hitman/splinter cell/GTA 4/assassins creed feel to them. The game has some problems but controls aren't one of them in my opinion. I also don't see what the big problem is in the setting, the whole game wasn't ghetto as you seem to think.

I am still loving this game at the moment.

Controls were good

Yeah we're done.

How about you actually play the game instead of getting all your information off your friend?

I love how the only people bitching about watch dogs are those that got it for PC. PC master race or nah?

I have it for Xbone and it is one of my favorite games atm. I can see it getting boring after a while like GTA V did, but Ubisoft did a great job for a first instalment in a new IP. There is a **** ton to do in the game, and playing stealth is very rewarding. I don't have any problems with controls either, it really just seems Ubi took great things from their other games, generated a new interesting idea and threw them in a melding pot.

The only con I really have is the car chases and how every car (and bike) you ride feels like a high speed tank lol.

I like it, I just dislike the missions where you've got to run someone over because they almost always die.

Era News · 05-30-2014

On second thought it seems that most people like it, the people who don't had their expectations to high.

Hard to live up to our master race standards.

Just finished it...I'll let you guys decide how it was.

I haven't played much of Watch Dogs considering I got it on PC and it's badly ported, optimized and as always Uplay issues to tag along with problems that are already going on. Especially if you have an AMD Graphics Card. It seems really bad for those people like me who have it. Some are fine playing it, but that's only a good few out of a lot.

Game seems good from the bit I've played and seen. Multiplayer could of been a lot better. ( Just my opinion )

Use the AMD beta drivers, they fix some performance issues. Should be version 14.6, not sure if another one came out but this is a few days old.

Paeirus · 05-31-2014

At some point my computer kept crashing and I was getting the blue screen. I end up realizing that I needed to update my drivers to the version recently released, which fixed that problem. Thanks though. On another note the PC version still suffers from constant stuttering ( Especially when driving fast) I would literally go from 60FPS to like 2FPS until I stop. Walking around is fine though. I tested it from High graphics to low (Ultra settings are really messed up. They need to fix that too). It's pretty horrible, but Ubisoft said they noticed the issue and are working on a patch so i'm just waiting on that. Hopefully it's soon.
