Firstly, this GAME is like GTA, Sleeping Dogs & maybe a few others, people saying it's nothing like these games are idiots, as it has a closer relation to these than phucking PAC-MAN.

Well, this is a new game so its obviously going to look better, but only by a few degrees, I would actually say Sleeping Dogs in some way looks better.



Things to do, well the main point of Watch Dogs is your phones ability to hack stuff.



Like phone junctions boxes outside peoples houses, for which you then can spy on them earning some XP while watching some cute cut scene, this was relatively amusing,but very basic. Some had a little puzzle to complete, similar to them pipe puzzle where you need to get water from one end to the other by moving the pipes, but this was electricity.



you can also hack -



CCTV camera: This makes sense, these are used to move around inside buildings and getting up to higher places.



Traffic lights: This is somewhat amusing the first few times watching cars smash into each other- Dumb idiots. OK this makes sense, and its used to stop people chasing you, police and bad guys.



Bollards: Which comes up blocking roads, also to stop cars, this also made sense.



Drains:? or Gas Mains or 15 Pounds of C4 buried in the road? Not too sure about this one, its nice to trigger, but makes no sense seemed like a lacking in things to hack imo.



Bridges, phuck it why not.



Forklifts & Cheery Pickers? what? just getting stupid now desperately adding things to hack, Oh and apparently you can only make them hackable to move up and down?



And some explosive floor bombs, wall circuit boxes and & other pointless stuff.



ALSO, you can hack the pointless & moronic citizens of Chicago, listen in to their text and phone conversions, which is amusing but after 200+ its gets pretty dull, furthermore you can steal their bank account details and take some of their saving, but after reaching about 300k you can pretty much buy everything that can be bought, so money is useless, this is just a gimmick and a game filler, I can see people doing this for ages like it did, then release it was all for nothing.



The Campaign or main story is OK nothing great, and the protagonist is a total arse. Most unlikable character in any genre, be it movie, books or games, his reasons & action are so poorly written, it feels so cobbled and rushed together.



Game play: Comparing this to the other open world GTA style games, this is by far the worst, the City is open straight away which leads little to no discovery, buildings and just closed lifeless boxes, apart from the odd news stand, café or bar where you can buy a drink/snacks that fills your bullet time thing, which I never used.



The main Campaign is 90% chase that guy or follow this guy, and escape the bad guys or police, these type of mission were the worst parts of the other games, I hated them and GTA only used them to add filler to the their games, and Sleeping Dogs never used them at all. But Watch Dogs is mainly these, and these are awful- Reason! the driving is nasty.

Well part from those terrible missions, the other few consist of get in/out without being seen, tad like Metal Gear solid style, they see you and bam, start again time, these mission were even worst then the driving ones, and finally a very basic but and probably the best part of the game, cover shooting which worked fine, but pretty easy if you took your time.



Side mission, were basic and dull, the gang hide out is basically a cover shooter, where you attack some goons then hit their boss with a stick, you kill him its start again time, but you can kill his goons np, this one one was ok the other 2 pretty Crappy..



NOW THE WORST PART OF THE GAME: Wow the driving, omg, For example the boats actually handle better than the cars, absolutely awful & just embarrassingly bad.



So Watch Dogs? An awful, cheap and hurried game, that actually takes the genre back to 2004. From the lies about the visuals in the 2012 E3 Trailer and the nasty PC optimization, and the fact that the last 2 bosses are basically QTE, or the fact that you character can't do anything in the city, apart from bump into the citizen steal pointless money, or play dull chess. or even the terribly coded Hulk mentality of the police-POLICE SMASH -. wow they literally have one line of code those guys.



But that fact they have Released DLC for $5 without fixing Uplay or stabilizing the game for people that have paid upwards of $70 … Expand
