Only played the 1st hour or so of watchdogs and am just not feeling it. Hope it gets better. The car mechanics are terrible and the city just feels really boring. Way to much popping up on the screen that distracts from the gameplay. Any one played much of it?

The critical consensus seems to be that it's a fine game, but not nearly as special as many people had hoped it would be. I don't plan on getting it; to me it mostly looks like an inferior GTA, and I'm bored of GTA now anyway.
 
I put in a couple hours with Watch Dogs now. I feel like I don't get it. I'm like....why I'm hacking this dude for a code.....and not just the door? It feels like there are 15 steps in each mission that are arbitrary and not fun. The hacking element is just kind of meh. And it does really feel like a giant mess when you're running into something hackable with every step you take or every foot you drive. And most of that stuff doesn't do much in reality. You're just hacking to hack, not for any significant gameplay reason. I don't know, I'll probably play tomorrow for a few more hours and then move on if it still sucks.
 
Alright, Watch Dogs has now entered the fun category now in my mind. I think it was just kind overwhelming for those first few hours. Not perfect game, but fun enough. And that's all I care about. But yeah, the driving is definitely totally crap. One of those car fetch missions had a yellow Lambo looking thing that I could barely keep driving straight. It was like I jumped in a yellow snake and took it for a spin. And then the camera flips to the side of the car sometimes which is crap. The side quests are actually better than the main game so far.
 
Ok- going to keep trying to get into it as this is my type of game. The 1st hour and a half have been some of the most forgettable moments I have had in gaming, but have heard from multiple people that this game gets better as you continue through.
 
Been playing Fall of Cybertron on my PS3 lately. Playing multiplayer, pretty fun.
 
Watch Dogs was lame for the first few hours. The physics are terrible, it's not GTA5 although you can't help compare and its way overwhelming. With that said, I stuck mainly to the campaign and am almost done with act 2 and I like it now. The story line is fun, but the game play is too now. There are parts that remind me of Far Cry 3 too.

I made it to act 2 and then decided to stop. I gave it a fair spin, fun level just too inconsistent for me to keep playing anymore now though.

I picked up both tales games. Theyve never gone under 40 for some reason. I figured this was my only chance
