Watch Dogs [2013]

Been playing for a few hours now. I don't see what all the disappointment's about. It has sort of a "Hitman meets Assassins Creed" feel to it. The vehicle aspect immediately makes people think "Grand Theft Auto" but believe me it's nothing like GTA. Cops/bad guys that are chasing you are smarter and faster than you, and you won't survive 5 seconds in a shootout with them. You hack red lights and electric gates to get away.

The non-vehicle aspect requires a good bit of stealth. In order to survive, you have to be able to hack into surveillance cameras and use them to your advantage, as well as use your hacking skills to cut power, overload electronics so they explode and cause distractions, etc.

So far I think it's a great game. Very impressed.

Please tell me the guys chasing you don't stop at red lights.

It seems like an ok game thus far. It's a bit silly (hacking things and the whole idea), but I'm going to keep playing and see how it goes.

Rosen your comments worry me. Thats what Im thinking its going to be so so and become very repetitive.I have it payed for i might just hold off. I am so ready for a mind blowing game for this system. I love MLB but get a little bored with the same thing plus completely stupid AI.

Same boat. I bought it basically because it came out and I wanted something new to play. Figured if I didn't like it after a week I could probably sell it for $45 or $50.

It doesn't seem like the coolest game ever that we thought it was years ago when unveiled. But, it seems somewhat interesting.

I suspect you'll see it fr $39 or $49 in a month or two. It's not the AAA title we were all hoping for but it's something new to play.

Agreed, the main reason I bought it was for something new. Worst case scenario, I will sell it on ebay next week lol.

The consensus seems to be solid game but doesn't live up to the hype it had from that original E3 footage. Still going to pick it up.

I've decided to wait on this one. I might pick it up when the price drops but I'm just not feeling it based on early reviews. Not for 60.00.

Played for about an hour, my only grip are the controls are kind of clunky. Driving and shooting are not that good (controls).

Driving is pretty bad....but I love the graphics and just the overall feel of the game. I'd definitely buy if you're on the fence. Worst case scenario you trade it in at Gamestop and get $40 back (guaranteed credit until end of June) or sell it to someone else on Craigslist or something. $20 loss max.

You get the game Yank? Thoughts?

I like it so far. Not the GOTY or anything but definitely worth the buy IMO.

Graphically, it's pretty nice. Gameplay is relatively easy to get the hang of. Haven't drove any yet.

A lot of action or mostly just running around?

Do any of you know how to save? I'm afraid to just quit. I'm pretty far into the campaign.

Edit: nevermind. I figured it out. There is an Autosave-only feature. Pretty much saves all the time. Wish there was a manual option.

I played for probably about 5 hours today. I'm really liking it. The campaign is interesting but free roam is where it's at. So much to do. Well worth the $60 IMO. Gamestop is giving a guaranteed $40 in-store credit if you trade it in by June 20. Not bad if you decide you don't like it.
