Is this really a legitimate complaint? Overwhelming the first couple of days can also mean highly-replayable months down the road.

Better this than something you're going to finish in a few weeks and never play again.

The cup game! Oh how it pisses me off. The second round the guy always pulls off some trickery.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

A lot of comments about the graphics. Not sure if anyone's seen this, but here is a good comparison of the E3 demo to the PC release on ultra settings:

Really disappointing downgrade. It's not just the graphical effects, but the whole moody atmosphere of the game seems to have been stripped away.

I'll probably wait for this one to go on sale. Thanks for info about AC4 deal, I'm going to buy that instead.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

FU guys, some of you.

I was ready to skip this game, and then read comments like this: "I played for 4 hours and only 30 minutes were missions, the rest was just fooling around". THAT'S MY KIND OF GAME!!!!

Re: Watch Dogs
 

Is there a good online game manual somewhere? I guess I'm old school and prefer reading the instructions, preferably in paper form.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

Have they said yet why they did this?

Re: Watch Dogs
 

Same here. Love this type of game.

I was chasing a thug after he killed somebody and someone called 911. After I beat the thug down the cops came after me! I had to swim across the river and cross two islands to get away.

My buddy told me about a cool sequence where you are playing poker and can cheat. Seems cool

Re: Watch Dogs
 

one of my missions was glitching and I couldn't complete it so I tried creating total chaos (so I would be killed) by shooting up everyone in town and driving like a maniac.... cops never came

Re: Watch Dogs
 

One of the cooler things is the ability to shoot someone in the leg while they are trying to flee. They go down for a quick second so you can catch up and you don't get docked for killing them since they are still alive.

If you have gamers club at Best Buy, you can get a pretty good deal if you need some other games. I purchased Watch Dogs for $48 then they take $20 off other games, so I got Killzone for $17 and Infamous Second Son for $32 after the GCU and the extra $20. Wish I had traded in stuff at Target now last week and repurchased this week.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

I like the fact you can shoot out tires on cars and they deflate
also like how oncoming cars with flash their lights at you

there are some real nice small touches I haven't seen in other games

Re: Watch Dogs
 

I just love that the non-lethal "subdue" option is "beat the hell out of person with your magic stick".

Re: Watch Dogs
 

And light poles that actually knock over when you run into them

Re: Watch Dogs
 

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff to fuck around with. I played quite a bit of the chess puzzles, and the digital trip that's basically like the old game Carmageddon. Then there's the coin runs and weird alien invasion video game.

It's kind of the opposite of InFamous, which didn't have a lot to do outside the main missions, and what there was to do was very repetitive. In Watch Dogs, there's a LOT of variety in the side missions and games.

Also, the baseball stadium in the game is actually an odd mix of Wrigley Field and Soldier Field (home of Da Bears). US Celluar Field gets no love here, despite the fact the phone plays such an important role.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

So it's just like real Chicago.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

I haven't played the game but the guys at work tell me that Wrigley has been magically moved in the game to the West side of the Loop instead of on the North side like in real life. No idea if the United Center was demolished to make room ;)

Re: Watch Dogs
 

:rimshot: :sad:

Re: Watch Dogs
 

game is verrrrrrry loosely based on Chicago

WATCH DOGS HACKS INTO THE UBISOFT RECORD BOOKS

Re: Watch Dogs
 

I would say it's verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry loosely based on Chicago.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

Looks like the thirst for this one was real. That's extremely impressive for a new IP.

Annual installments incoming...

Re: Watch Dogs
 

I wish they would rotate this and Assassins Creed every other year. Even if they did Watch Dogs in March/April and AC October/November, I still think that would burn people out.

Re: Watch Dogs
 

I'm enjoying it so far - only completed one mission but loving the side stuff. Hacked two of the CT towers, rode the L around town, and have been taking criminals down. I messed with a bridge near the boat storage area via a camera just to see if I cold crush a car - best was flipping one on its back! I played Just Cause 2 for years because of the "overload" of things to do and discover. I'm not familiar with the streets of Chicago, but I have been "touring" the landmarks in the game. Now, if this had been NYC, that's where I was born so I'd be critical about where certain things were, and if some neighborhoods got downplayed.
