So, if you try this game before release you will understand everything. This game is so overrated.

Edit:
You have few days to try this game and cancel pre-order. So you can save your money.

1.So nextGen 2.So reflection 3.Such physics 4.What bugs? 5.Pathetic 6.Bump 7.Nextgen destruction 8.AAA project 9.Like a boss 10.Magic ball

Find some ultra video

There is no nextgen fix for PC, it's just Downsampled Screenshots From 4K.

ULTRA pc fix vs render "screenshots"

comparison of Ultra settings PC fix

Let's wait metacritic score and enjoy real nextgen (like Sleeping Dogs or Mafia 2) in few days.

Can you find nextgen game?

They're refusing to show the code to AMD for DX11 so it cannot be optimized on ati cards

As expected user metascore 4.7

Watch Dogs - E3 2012 vs PC Release (Ultra)

This game is a huge step back in industry, ubi does not understand what typical gamer wants from game experience. As long as huge promotions, marketing hype with fake tech demo and promises will do a trick nothing changes. What about fan boys, as usual they eat everything, writes 10/10 and even ask for dlc, so let them press "q" to hack more.

  1. Might want to, again, actually read the thread and OP's comments in it.
  2. His post contained a lot of focus on the graphical fidelity, including posting a "fix" for it, indicating quite well how big a deal he thought it was.

Also, nice going trying to insult me dumbass, when you apparently still not being able to read is the real problem here. You happily insert words that work better to further your argument into shit you're reading, and this ain't the first time I've seen you do it, either - I just don't know whether your brain automatically replaces words as you're reading stuff to keep that fragile ego intact by keeping you thinking you're right in situations, or you deliberately ignore, read over, or change things people say in your mind as you're thinking up yet another hasty, abrasive response.

I never said "the majority", anywhere. Try reading the comment you're replying to. I said "a large portion". I didn't say anything about any majority.

Might want to use those eyes - or are you on meth or something?

.. I can only repeat what I said earlier - try reading this thread and OP's comments, dipshit.

Also, regardless of your apparently idiotic, subjective interpretation of the OP (and my comments), a large part of his bitching concerns the graphics in the game - like I already said, "his post contained a lot of focus on the graphical fidelity, including posting a "fix" for it, indicating quite well how big a deal he thought it was." Counting links (which you didn't even do correctly) doesn't mean shit - context and intended meaning does. Oh and, I never said OP was bitching about "only how the graphics is supposed to be downgraded", thanks for yet again trying to put words in my mouth, though, to make yourself look smart.

But wait a sec, let's see why you tried to single out this point to "attack" me on. You were trying to divert attention from the main point I was making - the guy you were replying to (axo1337) was reacting to a specific issue raised by and in the OP. You attacked him by trying to suggest his comment was entirely invalid, because it didn't address all of OP's post. Something that not only makes no sense, but is really quite, quite dumb. I called you on this, and lo and behold, you fly off and attack me, instead, using similar stinted 5-year-old logic and reasoning skills.

Keep replying though, you're only proving more and more to everyone reading this chain that you are one of the most annoying, abrasive, insulting, rude, obnoxious, and idiotic members of the community - though lots of people already know this, it is kinda useful if in future one wants to indicate to someone just how big an ass you are.

Bugs are disappointing, but hopefully they'll fix them with patches. I think the game looks great. There's still so much I love about this game, especially after watching the first gameplay video from NukemDukem linked below. I don't pay more than $30 for any game (only reason I preordered Tropico 5 was because I got a big coupon from GMG and that brought it below $30 for me) ... well, rare exception... I'll wait til this one comes down in price and I'm definitely getting it. Going to be hard not to watch any more gameplay vids. I don't want to spoil the rest of the game for myself!

Well I really can't understand why people talk like this about a game. I mean the graphics are really good! If you don't see it like this, make your own graphics and use them ingame! If you play it on a console then you don't have the right to say something bad about ANY game cause its your own fault to choose a console...

About the gameplay: Well, if you don't like the gameplay then fuck off and don't buy it. Proof that you can make a better game than say something, if you can't proof it, then stfu.

Sometimes I don't really know what to say about such people. Something like "Oh, they just stupid as hell and they have nothing else to do!" - "They just haters, you can't change their minds." or "They can't make own games so they have to talk bad about them." Well maybe something else? It doesn't matter what I actualy say, they will come with "I know everything about games cause I know everything about all the stuff I can do in the settings"-Sentences.

It is really annoying to read such things about good games.
There are no perfect games, every game does have his bugs and gliches and the bigger the game the more likely it is that it have some! The sadest thing is actualy that the people are crying about bugs they don't even saw by their own! It's an really, reaaallly small chance that you find a bug, exept they are in the main Story, and the most players will not even notice it because they will not find it! And some others post the one bug they found, because they've searched for it, in a forum and everybody talk about it like everyone does have it...

I don't like people like this, I was one too but thats the past, I was young(er - I'm still young) and stupid.

You still sound stupid.

"Well if you don't like the gameplay then fuck off and don't buy it. Proof that you can make a better game than say something, if you can't proof it, then stfu.
So, according to you, only game developers have the right to criticize a game. Ok.

"They can't make own games so they have to talk bad about them."
Again, the same shit. By your logic you are also not allowed to say anything about the game, whether it's good or bad, because you are no game developer, therefore don't have the insight what good gameplay is about.

You sound like a horrible, horrible fanboy and hater.
Of course there are no perfect games out there, but we as the customers have the right to point out what exactly we don't like about a game. And the physics are a joke in my opinion. A good game? Maybe. I haven't bought it yet. I will test it on a friends account and then decide for myself if I think it is a good enough game in my opinion to spend money on it.

But I love this thread. This flaming from both sides is just so amusing.

Not only them but, you know, its annoying if everyone does like he knew everything about making games and criticize every aspect of a game he/she/it cound do better!
So, Maybe only Game developers should criticize them.


"They can't make own games so they have to talk bad about them."

Again, the same shit. By your logic you are also not allowed to say anything about the game, whether it's good or bad, because you are no game developer, therefore don't have the insight what good gameplay is about.

It may sound like youre not allowed to say anything but this is too far-fetched. You can talk about it, even about the bad things (I know I said something diffrent) but the problem is that in the internet everyone does like he know everything!
This is why noone should talk bad about a game, cause its most of the time someting he never saw by his self but something he have heard of a friend who "knows everything"


You sound like a horrible, horrible fanboy and hater.

Of course there are no perfect games out there, but we as the customers have the right to point out what exactly we don't like about a game.

Yeah "what we "don't like" about a game" but, most of the time its not what someone "don't like" about a game it is what someone "HATE" about it, and he never played it, what is the worst of all.
You can't hate something you've never played, that's stupid, like hate someone because he is in a diffrent relligion, but that doesn't matter here.. all religions are stupid :P

Back to the Point... well maybe you don't like what you see, maybe you don't like the physics someone changed to let the game look like crap and maybe you will not buy the game because of this, but to say it is the "worst" game or a dissapointing one is not okay, I think.

Well to say it is dissapointing about the FIRST game of an series of games is worse than just not okay.
You can sure compare Watch Dogs with GTA or maybe Saints Row or Sleeping Dogs (I haven't played these two) but it is diffrent, you have an other character who does live in a diffrent world! (Not in the real world sense but something like the worlds between athletes and nerds)
The Character doesn't have to kill people, as they said you can make 95% of the game without killing someone, while you HAVE to kill people in GTA, so the game may not have as many weapons as you have in GTA!

I really wanted to say more but I've forgotten the rest ^^


And the physics are a joke in my opinion. A good game? Maybe. I haven't bought it yet. I will test it on a friends account and then decide for myself if I think it is a good enough game in my opinion to spend money on it.

This opinion is reasonable! Its not an "hater opinion" like the most... I could live with more opinions like this, it's not annoying to read cause its neutral and not aggressiv.
Well I would say something like "I don't like the Graphics and I will not buy this game | I really don't like the physics they are terrible" I think these comments are still okay.
The thing is that you often see comments like this:
"Who pay for this shit, this "next-gen" game? This game is Marketing+Hype+Ubi = woooooow best graphics and physics ever! + more marketing + Delay + Oh wait, Delay? Yeah - Downgrade + day one dlc = SHIT."
(I know, it isn't what the one who wrote it in here think, but it hits the nail on the head! (German Proverb, do not know if you know it))

These are the problem and why I wrote all of this! Its the fine line between having a opinion and talking bad about games that exceed the most...


But I love this thread. This flaming from both sides is just so amusing.

I love disscusions too, even if I "loose" because others don't understand me like in the "Family Sharing" Tread.
It's not my fault if the people here are so paranoid, I didn't knew that. ;)

So you have pirated the game before release, and you are crying, because it's not as good, not as good looking, like in the trailers? Or you are crying, because you expected too much from this game? I don't care about graphics, because I had an E6600 with 2 GB DDR 2 RAM and a GeForce 9400 GT. Have you ever tried playing Borderlands 2 in 800x600 with 15-20 fps? I played it for more than 100 hours, and I enjoyed it. Because I liked the gameplay itself. I found the good things in the game, and I wasn't complaining about the bugs, cause there isn't a game, which hasn't got them. That's why I like Watch_Dogs. A huge playground, a really good looking story and the ability to control the city. I don't expect that Watch Dogs will be the PC gamers' GTA V, because I know that it can't. You are filled with hatred about a game, which you have pirated, and you showed some gifs about bugs, which will be probably fixed after releaase. About the shitty AI: If you want a fuckin perfect AI go and play Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified on VETERAN. They always know where you are, they almost always shoot right to your head, would that be fuckin perfect? Stop complaining about a game, which hasn't been released officially.

I admit that Ubisoft spent a little too much for advertising and marketing, but those "reasons", which are mainly bugs which can be fixed in the following days, are nonsense. Pirated/get it early, it's still an unauthorized thing, and Ubisoft hasn't officially released the game, so bugs can and will occur.

I don't care about graphics and some bugs that will eventually be patched (what I hope) when the gameplay is not different on the different systems. A game is not overrated because it has some bugs and glitches and is graphical not as perfect as on next-gen. And who believes in Metacritic anyway? Even more BS! I rather have a look on what the majority is saying and not some magazines with their weird critics.

just started playing it and I enjoy it so far.
Would be able to run it maxxed out on my pc but instead playing it on my PS3.
It's definately not a bad game and I don't need top notch graphics to enjoy a game.

I don't understand what people are talking about with all those Next-Gen Bullshit.
If you are talking about different generations, you are talking about consoles since PC has no different generations hence no Next-Gen, just games being constantly released on the same platform with raising minimum system requirements.
If you want to judge the game, judge it by playing it and not by comparing visuals.

And by all means the graphics on the pc version aren't that bad either, if you just want something to show off your GPU you should run a graphic demo instead.
It's dumbed down a bit and also some things were shown better in GTA IV (like car damage) but still this game is good gameplay wise and thats important for me.
Maybe Ubisoft shouldn't have created such a hype, if this game would have been released without all this publicity no one would be ranting about visuals and instead accepting the game for what it is.

And those few bugs from pre release version will most likely be fixxed in no time.

The amount of potential this game had and the way it suffered due to Ubisoft being shit irritates me to no end. Unoptimised code, good content being cut, incompetent management, false promises, downgrades in the visual and physics department, lack of effort in the most obvious areas, le epic maymays etc. The modern AAA games industry is nearly dead in terms of quality content, but is still very much alive due to the morons supporting horrible business practises and sucking up marketing like their life depended on it.

Personally, I think "next gen" in the context of a PC is still driven by consoles.

Is the game released on a "next gen" console (Xbox One or PS4)? Does the PC port have the same features, functionality and graphical fidelity of the next gen console? If so, then it's a "next gen" game. If not, then the port must be from the current generation (Xbox 360 and PS3, since almost every game still has dual releases) and can't be considered next gen.

Unfortunately, since the jump from current to next gen is so marginal compared to previous cycles, it's actually hard to tell what version we're getting. Most "next gen" games don't even look "next gen".
