garbage?? thats your opinion, if you didn't get it free, you'd be buying it if you wanted to play it.. so your point is kind of garbage here.. i'm not debating this with you.

After watching 45 minutes of the stream I'm almost completely uninterested in the game. It just looks so average.
I don't know what I thought it was going to be, but nothing I just watched looked really exciting or new. It was just another open world game, but with hacking. Even the visuals look really uninteresting. It went from being gorgeous (upon reveal) to just having some graphics.
I've been looking forward to play Watch_Dogs for a long time, but after this I don't really care anymore. I'm sure a lot of people will love it but, after seeing what it's actually like, I don't think there's anything that will draw me in.
I've already paid for it on Steam so I'm going to try the game anyway, but I'm really bummed out now. This sucks.

Well this confirms what people are saying in the other thread, this is indeed like a PS2 game.
roll eyes...
Depends why you didn't like GTAV
Forgive me, but why would you not get a refund at this point? It is mindboggling to me that anyone would pay any amount of money for a game they do not want.
Maybe?
I think the GTA games are some of the worst open world games I have played, but who knows if watch dogs is a step up from it.

how do you do the dope gun executions? didn't see any on the streams.
Is there backstory for the protag? He's pretty action hero man for just a 'hacker'.

Depends, do you like open world games at all?
If you don't like GTA you might like this, or not. It would probably depend on how it comes off to you.

I just assume it's like RDR you run up on them and pull the trigger without aiming at melee range. Might be wrong though!
Backstory for him is, he messed around with some bad stuff, pissed off the wrong people. Bad folks were out to kill him and killed his niece instead, now he wants payback.

Meh, I've spent more money on worse things.Forgive me, but why would you not get a refund at this point? It is mindboggling to me that anyone would pay any amount of money for a game they do not want.
I'm not upset that I paid for the game as much as I'm disappointed that the game is not what I anticipated. I'll still give it a go and probably play through the whole thing because I have nothing to do over the next little while, but I'm not expecting anything memorable now.

yeah, but i dont recall reading anything about him being former military, gang banger or anything that is a reason for him to be so... efficient at murderizing people lol
This is from GTA4 so it might have changed but to me the missions feel repetitive same reason I could not get into AC. Fail mission system forcing me to start over a long play through got boring fast. Overall it just felt like a really slow burn, I want something I can pick up and play for a hour and still feel like I have progressed.

I dunno, really.
You know how sometimes things just don't click with you for whatever reason? It's one of those situations. It doesn't look bad by any stretch of the imagination, it just doesn't grab me in the way I assumed it would.
Well we don't know too much about the missions here yet, but there are a lot more options for taking on challenges (stealth/hacking) so that could shake things up a bit. For instance, some objectives are things like "Kill all enemies or Escape". There also seems to be ridiculous amount of stuff to do outside of the story. I'd wait for reviews, but I think you might like it.

lol at getting refunds from Steam. He just has to take that L
Everything looks good, when it's been downsampled to 10% of its original resolution, just saying.

Is there a way to turn off your cellphone or at least the constant pop ups? I can see that getting annoying really quick.
Yeah you can turn it off and on with a button
Generally Ubi let's you turn off parts of the hud.

yeah. think its a dpad push.
Felt the same about GTA4. I'm willing to give this game a shot though.

I'm looking at these gameplay vids.
I dunno, the game looks nice. I mean, it's enough for me.
Where's the launch trailer?

So they still have the stupid smoke when you destroy a car window in the game .
It's Square on PS4. Tab it to turn on/off those phone prompts, hold it to hack stuff.

There's nothing to debate, no one made you do anything, which is what you originally stated. We're done.

I think I already stated that. You have nothing to offer here, keep your crap to yourself.
I kinda just want to thank you for providing your perspective here. This is just so far removed from my approach to these things it's really interesting to see. I would never be able to bring myself to spend even $10 on something that really didn't appeal to me (especially if it originally did and then disappointed me as time progressed); furthermore, I'm completely saturated with quality stuff to play right now and this game's release means it will be fighting for playtime!

i snagged the game for only $40 but I think I'm still going to wait for GAF impressions before I commit and remove the shrinkwrap.

I think you pretty much summed up how I felt after watching the stream also. It doesn't look bad, but nothing really stood out to me that makes me want to rush out and buy it. I'll probably wait for a Steam sale or Gamefly.
Watching that gamestop stream now. The guys in the bottom left are incredibly annoying.
Game looks great to me though, sooo.... Is this the PS4 version?
SweetFX with a touch of vibrance might be fun for this on PC.
Also, I know this isn't something that really gets people going or anything, but I think the UI for this game is just delicious. Games score points for me when the UI at least doesn't actively clash with the tone and graphical presentation in play, but this one legitimately compliments it.
edit: Dang. That hacking skill tree is going to be so filled.

If that's why you didn't like GTA IV then I strongly recommend you give GTA V a go. It fixes all those issues. Obviously I cant speak for Watch Dogs since I haven't played it.
lol that is nothing
