Somewhere inbetween. It didn't gloriously disprove the naysayers like Deus Ex but it isn't the complete borefest with an identity crisis that was DNF.

Watch Dogs is simply acceptable. It does its job as an open world game but it doesn't bring anything to the table. The hacking is trivial because, in Ubisoft's trademark style, it is simplified to a single button so it may as well be a "press E to use" but with longer range.


While I don't disagree about this game being in between of Deus Ex HR and DNF, but what is this problem with press Q to hack everything? You are suppose to be able to hack your various objects in your surrounding freely at any moment. Would you have preferred to have to either use the quick wheel or worst do it inside an inventory like its an item? Or do you prefer to have to play a minigame every time you try to switch the traffic light while driving?

Please explain because I absolutely do not get the hate for streamlining that actually make sense. That is it actually is to streamline control, and not dumbing the game down.

That's how i see it as well. Good for going through the storyline once and messing around for a short time but that's about it. I don't think i will be playing this a week for now but i will complete it once with a couple side missions for sure. And some Spider Tank Very Happy

7 out 10 and a "Worth a try" from me. If you can run it on Ultra (or even just on High it look nice) it's worth a playthrough for the visuals alone imho.

man the multiplayer in this is fuuuuun! Very Happy been dickin around for hours, its a mix between darksouls and assassins creed, you can invade/get invaded and when you do you are either disguised and have to try and hack the other dude without getting detected or killing him, if he blows your cover he can kill you to win, so you gotta leg it. and when you get invaded you gotta find and kill the hacker before he can hack you

also online races are alot of fun!

and oh yeah spider tank fuckin rules

I didn't get the key for AC IV until 2PM EST. I bet this will be the case with W_D as well. Sad Sad

It could have been interesting to make the hacking more interactive, so I actually felt like I was involved.

Batman Arkham games has a little mini game when you're tracing calls or "hacking" security devices. Bioshock has a minigame when you're hacking into enemy turrets.

Traffic light or blocker hacking is something meant to be done while you're driving 60 mph so a minigame obviously wouldn't work for that. Things that can be interpreted (with suspension of disbelief) as switch on/off or between two stages can be done quickly. However, identity hacking, ATM hacking, anything with a presumed amount of firewall/security and isn't done in the middle of a car chase shouldn't just be one button.

Hacking isn't just some bonus skill in this game, like it is in countless other games. Hacking is the FOUNDATION of the entire game. To take something so pivotal to the entire game and trivialize to a single button is huge missed opportunity.

Meh, still stutters even in the RLD version (don't have the hotfix tho) with textures on ULTRA.

I honestly don't get it, some have it some don't even on similar hardware.

I even got a new mobo+cpu since yesterday (no, upgrade wasn't for this Very Happy) + new windows (8.1 even now) so unless my gtx 780 has some weird glitch it in ... i'll blame it on aliens i guess?

And again screenshots with DOF .. HOW??

It's actually right in that screenshot, press Z (Or the controller button for it.) to toggle the phone scanning and it will briefly give a DOF effect, just have to time it right which can be problematic. Smile

Yeah i know but thing is back at e3 dof was still present even after the initial "click to activate". Thought the same thing was happening in this SS considering there's no extreme brightness (like it does when you activate it).

TYPICAL bullshit by AMD... again.


Hahahahaha. Poor brainwashed child.

This game is shit because of nvidia. They always water down everything and are fascist cunts.

Their software is closed and proprietary and doesn't allow AMD to optimize.... Hmm sound familiar? (APPLE)

meanwhile AMDs Mantle is open source available to download from their website. Their architecture runs equally good on nvidia.

Fuck nvidia up their stupid asses.

How's the performance in the Reloaded release? According to the apologists, the previously leaked, P2P version was an older build and not very well optimized.

apologists are retarded, RLD version is final retail version, especially with Watch.Dogs.Hotfix-RELOADED

I think you mean capitalist. Like any company, nVidia do what they think is in their best (financial) interests. AMD is no different.

Same here. I see a few people on Steam claiming it runs fine, but I wonder what they consider to be "fine".
