Anyone here playing Watch Dogs?

Is anyone here playing or finished Watch Dogs?

What did you think?

Will you replay it?


I was so hyped for this game but after reading reviews did not purchase till it was in a bargain bin.

I do like it but it isn't quite the game I expected it to be.

5/10

My only other big name purchase was the Tomb Raider reboot back in 2013 and I felt that that game sucked.

5/10 for a very linear design and QTE events which are lazy design. IMOSVHO

I tried to play it, but I thought it was so boring that I couldn't be bothered to finish. It was like Grand Theft Auto meets Assassin's Creed, only not even remotely interesting.

I only finished the main mission story. Yeah Aiden is a kind of a dickbag character. And he's super creepy around his sister so no idea why they wrote the story that way. Made it feel like Lena and Jacks were his kids via his sister.

Some of the side missions are timed events and failure sucks al the fun out of trying them. I suck at driving in games so some of the Decoy missions are just unplayable for me. Now if we could disable the timer that would make it more fun.

It needs better radio stations, certainly wouldn't pay $60 for it but as a bargain bin find it's not a bad game

My copy was in the under $20 bin so I figured "why not"

I don't suppose it is worth asking here I can't get the last 3 criminal convoys to pop

Linear design with QTE is about the norm for AAA games anymore.

I know sigh... It's like they all come off some kind of game cookie cutter.

The thing is once you have done the main story you have a crap load of side stuff to do which is very repetitious and most of those side missions have stupid timers with silly time limits that can be done but only just.. Which is frustrating for some of us...

And hardly anyone in the game is likeable. Aiden Pearce is a douchebag. And he's super creepy in scenes with his sister Nicky.. I just wanted to finish the main story and be done. I am debating a 2nd playthrough and then maybe delete the game. Really aside from the crappy side missions there's nothing new there..

I do hope the sequel, and there probably will be one is better.

Was one of the titles i got when i bought the PS4 and it was a major disappointment.

Graphics wise it was barely above PS3 or XBOX 360 level, gameplay was confusing as hell and i have played it barely for an hour or two before i put it away for good.

Yeah, that was me as well. I played for maybe 3-4 hours, but most of that time was spent driving around looking for Chicago landmarks.

I'm originally from Chicago and was intrigued to see how the game map compared to the actual city. But otherwise, I really didn't do much.

It's very telling that for licensing reasons they could not duplicate some landmarks properly... The Big Bean for example becomes a pretzel..

Eh? When I played it the Bean was a bean. It was actually the most accurate landmark I could find.

I was really disappointed by the lack of ferris wheel at Navy Pier.

I'll have to have a look again when I go there. The bean is on the same side as the Navy pier isn't it?

I only mentioned that because on a website someone said they had to get licenses for some landmarks.. And not all the cool ones could be included.

I played it for all of two hours before becoming rather bored with it. What was fun at first became irritating later on. The graphics look good to me, but I'm on an Xbox 360, so YMMV. All in all, a good "found it in the $9.99 bin" game, but not much more than that.

Agree

The Bad Blood DLC is like a whole new game on its own. some 3 gigs too. But pricey as hell for what it is..

Yeah, at that pricepoint its glaring mediocrity becomes okay.

It's buggy too.

Some locations you can clip almost through walls.


Criminal convoys still not done. They just won't pop
