The plot/story is not all that at all.

There is a story but the telling of it is weak, and it's not compelling at all. The story leads me to believe it will be awesome at the start of the game but it quickly declines and becomes something going on off in the background. I'm a big story fan. This game was a let down when it comes to the story for me. It suffers from poor presentation.

ok so definitely not for me if the plot/story can't hold it (i am not technically a big fan of story but it's either that or stunning graphic )

Don't know what u guys think but the game is a complete disaster, 97% of the Steam community has written the most disgusting reviews you can imagine, i have as well shared my thoughts about it, the game i don't know how to say this but it's a complete fraud, Uplay is the most garbage gaming software platform.

My gosh - I've never seen such a huge divide between Metascore and Steam Users as far as postive/negative reviews go. Think I'll stay on the fence for a while in light of that.

Edit: After reading the reactions here I'm definitely going to pass. Thanks for saving me $60 guys.

I'm glad I got this game for free through a coupon because I played it for half an hour and then turned it off, but with that said I did get bored of GTA V after a week.

Gameplay and graphics plus animation to me were very generic and for some reason this game also gives me motion sickness.

Iam playing with r9 270 on ultra and the game is absolutely unplayable, fps is around 20 but the problem is that it freezes for a moment(a second) and fps drops to 2-5 for a moment which makes the games unplayable even on high settings with textures ultra. Cpu is i5 3570k, 6 gb ram.

Stutter is better with more VGA power. It does take SLI GTX 780 TI to make it MOSTLY smooth, and even then you can tell that the engine streaming data for the city affects this in a big way.


Played about 10 hours now, and have done 4 or 5 story-line missions only. Lots of distractions in this game with minimal reward, that are very repetitive. Exactly as I had expected, really. Spider Tank FTW. :roll:

Spidertank, Spidertank,
Does whatever a spider can.
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out! Here comes the Spidertank.

Is he strong? Listen bud—
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey there! There goes the Spidertank.

In the chill of the night,
At the scene of the crime,
Like a streak of light,
He arrives just in time!

Spidertank, Spidertank,
Friendly neighborhood Spidertank.
Wealth and fame, he's ignored—
Action is his reward.
To him,
Life is a great big bang-up—
Wherever there's a hang-up,
You'll find the Spidertank!

Is this gameworld a bit like GTA IV? Could I just drive around in cars the whole day if I wanted to?
Then I might want to buy this game.

And can I drive the cars with my old microsoft sidewinder?

GTA series is by far better IMHO.

Now that the game patched I can't play more than twenty minutes without it crashing. Funny thing is it never crashed once before the patch. lol Now I've given up playing it because everythime I start working on a mission the game crashes and I lose everything.

They patched it? I have been fighting with Uplay most of the time...

It's no worse than GTA IV or Sleeping dogs.

Thats weird, I don't have any problems running GTA IV besides some framedrop issues on some streets, it had never crashed on my laptop , using the latest version 1.0.7.0. I'm also running it on windows 8.1.

I hope Rockstar will finally announce GTA V for PC at this years E3 event. Hope it comes out this year.

As far as I've seen peoples comments not just here but all around the internet most people are disappointed in Watch Dogs (gameplay wise and story wise alike). I will hold my opinion until I try the game for my self but watching gameplay's on youtube a lot of people had problems running the game. I think we may have been fooled by Ubisoft once again as they already stated when Assasinc creed 4 came out that they don't really optimize the game for PC users because they can always upgrade their hardware to something better. Well I hope I'm wrong and after a few patches and driver updates the game will run without any problems.

All in all the game is far worse than I expected it to be.

Far worse.

Not only is UPlay a steam(ing) pile of turd in general, caused so many issues, I bought the game, and then went and downloaded a cracked copy because UPlay sucks that many balls, but the game runs like ass. And it doesn't even look good. Ultra settings are abysmal, and look no better than games from last gen. The gameplay is horribly horribly bland, and suffers the same issues the original Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto games had, in that you simply get bored of wandering around the city, pressing a single button to do complicated stuff. There is no real direction in the game, there is a main mission mode, but it just feels like they said "how many minigames can we fit in one game to make it feeeeeel BIG!". It's saturated with broad and shallow everything.

It feels like a Kickstarter game in terms of performance. These guys spend tens of millions of dollars on a AAA game, and it's had more issues than half of my early access games that cost a couple of hundred thousand to make IN ALPHA!

I will be persuing a refund. 0/10 would not recommend. One of the worst hyped games this year.

Now I have to stop buying games not only from EA, but Ubisoft too now. By the time the year is out I'll have boycotted so many publishers, my games library will be comprised of kickstarters.

Fixed my stutter issues by disabling HT.

As to graphical quality... the game only really looks good at certain times. Definitely overhyped...but then...I don't buy into hype, so I have ZERO complaints.


I only bought it after watching people play it on Twitch. My satisfaction in my purchase = 100%.


Uplay kind of bites...but I have Rocksmith 2014, which has uPlay fully integrated without any problems at all, no external app needed, and I understand that uplay service is used to connect online components including PC players with mobile users, so accepted it for what it is.

Story sucks compared to GTAIV, for sure, world seems smaller, too...but far more active. Haven't played GTAV...hoping it comes out on PC, and then is a step above this.


Also curious about the 2nd playable character...

All in all the game is far worse than I expected it to be.

Far worse.

Not only is UPlay a steam(ing) pile of turd in general, caused so many issues, I bought the game, and then went and downloaded a cracked copy because UPlay sucks that many balls, but the game runs like ass. And it doesn't even look good. Ultra settings are abysmal, and look no better than games from last gen. The gameplay is horribly horribly bland, and suffers the same issues the original Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto games had, in that you simply get bored of wandering around the city, pressing a single button to do complicated stuff. There is no real direction in the game, there is a main mission mode, but it just feels like they said "how many minigames can we fit in one game to make it feeeeeel BIG!". It's saturated with broad and shallow everything.

WOW that bad for ya huh, Tell ya the truth it runs better than the last GTA did for me and looks loads better and to even say as bad as saints OMG maybe you should play that again right now as that annoyed me totally control wise and WD controls are much better.

Anyways games running max setting with MSAAx2 without issue even when speeding around the city.

Although i will agree on one thing for sure even though uplay gave me no real issue's it sure sucks i am just glad it sucking yours not mine J/k..

Nah, just running a single card ATM. Could be because I still have three monitors plugged in, or anything else, really. :p I'm not that concerned...still enjoying the game anyway.
