The game came out much earlier (leaked) and I decided to try it in my PC, before I buy it and its a trash...!  After about an hour I deleted it .

Sleeping dogs is a much more quality game and intense. Watch dogs also have the same missions as sleeping dogs, to escape a huge area from police forces, mini games, etc.

Graphically watchdogs is superior, but... I tried to play some minigames and it was like a copy paste from Saints Row IV .  Its hard to explain, it has elements from these both games but very washed out.  (mini game example...

Spoiler

You get drugs and you wake up in another reallity, that its like saints row, you can jumb buildings, run fast etc... ), also one of the main objectives are similar to saints row IV. If you ever played Saints Row IV, remember u have to destroy some towers? Well, guess what...but this time is CTOS

This kind of games is not my style after all, but sleeping dogs and saints row iv kept me more than a week playing!! This one just deleted.

The news are out in all forums and news articles and Ubisoft tried to save it a bit.... But from what watchdogs is and what people say, wii U version may be canceled, not because of wii U, but because of watchdogs..

Also the game accommodates some symbolisms that I am totally against...  I could make a video for you if you wish me too, to prove you the things Iam  stating... But its a waste of time bothering with it.

ps: I dont know if there is any similar topic about it, if there is any, plz merge it.

 

Here is an example, read at the comments of this yahoo article, everybody says these things.  http://news.yahoo.co...-080022530.html

Doesn't the leaked version have a virus in it?

Yeah.

Apparently its a bit coin miner.

[Plutonas]

I know, about the winlogin and itc... but no... my version is clean... deleted though.. lol

I am an advanced user not a rookie!

Anyway, the game is not bad, but its irrelevant, old and washed out... I consider it as the second big potato of 2 months period. The first big potato is ESO (I am still crying for my 54 euros I paid for pre-ordering ESO)

Every single pirated version of anything has a virus of some kind, according to most malware scanners.

The one you're tlaking about has a bitcoin miner.

[Plutonas]

yep I know about it and I know the files, registry keys, everything related to it... Those who installed it days ago, because its leaked for a couple of weeks now, those got it. I took it yesterday and tested it for 1-2 hours, thats it... PUFF KABUM since.

well i got this on the ps4 plan to pick it up today.

ill let you know what i think.

 

You do know tho that after so many games it becomes hard to come up with there own ideas. So im willing to beat it will have a mix of some other games in it.

I do know that there is suppose to be a day one patch to fix some things. IDK if its suppose to be for the systems only or what.

[syks-1]

the patch is just for ai and online connection stuff,nothing to improve the textures etc which is a big shame

[LinkKennedy]

Shizzz if it's trying to be saints row I'm not buying it, never liked SR.

[Alex Atkin UK]

Well if its got similarities to Saints Row but in a realistic setting, pretty certain I am going to love it then.  (although I have only played SR 1-3)

 

I find it hard to believe the graphics are THAT bad though, none of the footage I have seen looks particularly bad.  Maybe not as good as people hoped but that is no shocker for a cross-gen title.  I hope it does well so we get a current-gen only sequel that can really push the engine.  You can't use the extra CPU power if the game has to play the same on all platforms and those platforms include 8 year old consoles.

[Plutonas]

well thats what reminded me, playing it...

You have to use car/bike to move fast in the town and you have to unlock areas/towers, be able to hack other people, if you dont unlock towers, you cant hack. You have to visit ctOS towers and link with them.... similar what u do with st4, you destroy towers there.. Hacking bank accounts its a piece of cake and borring... other than hacking accounts, didnt find anything else usefull, doing to the people... And some times you can listen conversations and unlock crimes..

You have many hide outs... you can sleep, listen music, U CANT use the toilet (you can in sleeping dogs) lol...

And thats it... If you do a crime, police comes like in sleeping dogs and u have to escape... I am not giving any info about the story, because I only played for 1-2 hours, only 2 missions and not going to speak about it. If you buy the game, you will experience the story...

I also visited a cloth store and I find it a bit stupid... Totally the same cloths but different colors.. puff kabum... they may fix it in the feature. I remember both ST and sleeping dongs, you could go out even with ur underwear... here is a bit limited.. lol

As I said, I also didnt like the game at all, because of its symbolism.. Symbols like representation of our solar system (if you take a line from Pluto to Saturn then jupiter, uranus and neptune, it forms a polygon shape with 5 sides and they use it for ritual stuff, inside that shape, the symbol of watchdogs, pops out) and its the symbol of Baphomet so its clearly what they promote and who founds games like that... I am totally against it and was one of the reasons, I erased it... Its not about religions at all... These are our enemies.

 

I know these symbols because it is actually greek astronomy... these kind of cults, use that allot, to ritual/summon their rebel gods... and even if people dont care, or dont bother, those who have the bucks and founding games and movies, do care....

(our whole solar system and universe is dodecadron 12 sides, dodeka in greek means 12, but (them) they use only the specific outer planets of our solar system to ritual their gods).

Looks like the non bought reviews are starting to come in. Pretty much seem in line with what everybody objectively deduced, and you experienced first hand.

Its a game that checks all the boxes its genre is supposed to, has a high amount of polish as par for the course for the AAA bracket, but brings nothing else to the table, as its hacking gimmick is undercooked.

As an open-world game, Watch Dogs provides “enough” — enough sidequests, enough space, enough of a playground — to qualify, but it doesn’t quite place. Other games have nailed a better balance in optional activities and large-scale ambiance, including other games from Ubisoft Montreal itself.

Never once does Watch Dogs raise a finger to show the rest of the world which way to take the genre. Instead, it is somewhat of a Best-of across a multitude of thematically and systemically similar games. A highly polished, and entertaining, cross-section through all things 'open world'. I'd lie if I said I hadn't gotten a few really satisfied sighs out of it. But sometimes that's just not enough.

It's a game that reaches a baseline of enjoyment – and that baseline is fairly high – and doesn't raise it further. The mission loop is too samey – drive here, hack a few things, sneak/shoot out – and multiplayer is too throwaway to really affect much. You'll undoubtedly enjoy your time with it, but it won't linger long in the memory.

Watch Dogs doesn't have that promising kernel. It certainly entertains, but mostly through borrowed concepts, and the central notion that could have made it stand out - the hacking - is the most undercooked of all. It doesn't get anything horribly wrong, but nor does it excel at any of the genre beats it so faithfully bangs out. It's good, and yet that always feels like a criticism when a game comes.

As usual with AAA games powered by billion dollar marketing schemes, its the 'latecomers' and disparity between critic and user review averages that tell the true tale.

A solid 7 game if I ever saw one.

[EskobarM92]

I started the game today its fun. Reviews 8.5 I'd say correct.

[Plutonas]

I just looked at metacritic and user score vs critic reviews, differs by 200%!   It looks like they bought some reviews.  The user review score and opinion represents more my experience with it.

Looking at those reviews most of them are just butt hurt that it didn't live up to their expectations. The game might not be optimizied all that well it runs great and the gameplay is fun. Okay some things could have been better but from what I've seen, going into this with no expectations what so ever, it's a 7.5/8

Then maybe ubisoft shouldnt have used fake trailers to set expectations so high.

This is where AAA production money goes, instead of towards making a better game.
