Watch Dogs - 3

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.

Exact same thing happened to me, my computer froze multiple times. No other game has ever done this before, I wasn't sure if it was a RAM problem (I'm only at 4GB) but it fixed when I patched it and installed the beta drivers. I still get FPS drops but I play it on medium detail and everything else turned to low.

Ridiculous how unoptimized this game is, but that's what happens when you release on a million platforms.

I just caught wind of this game the other day. I'll probably get it on the 360.

Be warned, I heard it looks like poop on 360. Worse than GTA V graphics (which isn't really necessarily a bad thing)

The police on this game is sometimes harder to get away then on GTA V. I mean I know its a challenging game, but when you have to seriously get out of your car to hack a helicopter only to be torn to shreads by the ground forces is annoying. Other than that I love this game so much.

I just watched a gameplay comparison between the Xbox One and Xbox 360 version of the game. It didn't look too bad. Unfortunately, I can't be picky since I don't have the One or PS4 or a good gaming PC. I'll probably just upgrade it for $10 on the Xbox One when I get one in the future.

I beat the game after the day of release, and it honestly does get quite boring after a while. The only thing left to do is the side missions. Personally, while playing it, it didn't really feel "next gen" to me. It felt like an average shooter to me, although it added some extra pizzazz with its own flavor, nothing really made me go "WOW!". I'm now currently looking forward to Destiny.

Hack the helicopter then head for the water. It works everytime. If the chase isn't done and the helicopter is after you, hack it again and continue swimming.

Weird. I thought the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 comparisons would be similiar to the PS4 vs. the PS3. The PS3 has distinctively different and worse graphics than the PS4.

I beat it the day before yesterday and I must say that I think the story was a bit lacking - the gameplay was extremely fun, however. Honestly I predicted pretty much everything that happened with major characters during the story though.
I wish they had included
-more ways to use hacking,
-less shooting,
-regular jumping rather then simply the climbing over things, more with dedsec,
-more with the serial killer side missions (The end of those side missions was complete ****)
-a more optimized PC version (Although I was able to play with relatively no problems. It's just a shame that the game couldn't be ran at 60FPS even with a GTX 780.)
-a less predictable storyline
-MORE WITH DEDSEC, FFS?
-less 'escape from the police' missions - they're pretty boring and on occasion rather annoying (expecially without Jam Coms)
-Better clothing options (Pretty much none of the clothing I bought looked better than the original - all of them pretty much had something that ruined them)
-I wish a particular event in the storyline didn't happen - those who played may know what I mean. Don't want to spoil it though.
-I wish they would stop pushing your character as a vigilante considering all the story line made you do is kill people, generally for selfish reasons.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST EVEN REMOTELY:
Why the hell did they make a DLC already with game-breaking glitches on the loose, a terrible PC port, and simply so close after being released:

^^Wasn't optimized being Ubisoft ****s on PC users like they always do.

Far Cry 3 is greatly optimized. Stuff like AC4 and Watch dogs (Reletively recent titles) weren't well optimized I feel like there's been a shift in ideas or something recently. The really annoying thing, however, is that Ubisoft said throughout it's development that Watch dogs was going to be built from the ground up with PC in mind.. yet clearly we have a blatant console port.
Dunno.

They're shipping me a physical copy of this game because it came with my video card. I assumed it would be a digital download, but nope. I guess they wanted me to wait for it.

It looks alright, but I was never that interested in it the first time I heard about it.

Hate to derail the topic a bit, but what graphics card did you get?
On Topic: Like I mentioned before; The game is fun, just not a game one would call 'great'.

Hey, you should click here!

Based on what I've seen, I think I agree with you.
I can see myself getting bored of it pretty quickly.
