Watch_Dogs is back in the spotlight 6 months after its initial release for two main reasons. First, the WiiU version is finally available and it unsurprisingly is technically limited, just like the 360/PS3 versions. Secondly, after the ACU fiasco, Ubisoft just announced that everyone who bought the game would be offered the first DLC for free and those who purchased the Season Pass would get one game for free among the following ones: Rayman Legends, Just Dance 2015, The Crew, Far Cry 4 and of course Watch_Dogs. That's why we decided to capture the PC version yesterday, to see if our GTX 970 could handle it better today. Playing on ultra settings (except for high textures and temporal SMAA) made it impossible to maintain a steady 60 fps, but the game still looks very good, no matter what some people said back then.

AC, Far Cry and Watchdogs are really the same game.

Here troll, take some food:
They are open world and have a mini map which indicates missions. And two of them are 3rd person while one of them is 1st person. They are definitely the same game.

I really had my fun with Watchdogs. The hacking features made you feel superior. And with the graphics I was pleased as well, especially the weather simulation is unmatched. And online hacking was a blast, I spend more time with it then with FIFA :)
There is a lot room for improvement, but it showed a lot of potential and I am looking forward for part 2.
Ac - has the towers that open up the maps, and oobjectives.
watchdogs - has the electrical boxes that open up the map and objectives.
Far cry - has the radiotowers that open up the map and objectives.
So yeah, it feels like im playing assassins creed when i play watchdogs and far cry. Im doing the same stuff in all three franchises.
And if you're really gonna try to belittle my opinion down to "you can't drive cars in assassin's creed" I won't be able to even regard your opinion as a critisism towards my opinion.

I love both the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry franchises, plus Watch Dogs is a good game, but they basically use the same template, and while they each have features that set them apart from each other, the truth is that their similarities are more present and stronger than their differences.
And before someone states the obvious: Yes, AC and WD are in 3rd person view, while FC is in 1st person view, but please complete them all 100%, not just the story mode and some side quests, and tell me how much dozens of hours you kept doing the EXACT same things over and over in each of them?!
I love doing most of the activities in these games, however whether some missions or activities are different, they are a kind of "re-skin" - a re-imagining - that doesn't make much of a difference in most cases, as the core/essence (the core design) of the mission or act is still the same.
This is something a lot of gamers and critics have heavily criticised Ubisoft for a few years now. So people trying to defend against this fact is foolish at best.
That is a valid complaint and/or observation.
Played the 1st hour of Far Cry 4 and got the same feeling right away when sent to the first tower to open up more side missions and stuff to do on the map. Never picked up Watch Dogs or played it so can't comment on that :/
lets just agree that you believe in your opinion to be correct and everyone else disagrees.
Let's just agree that you believe in your opinion, and that other people have their own. You're not speaking for anyone but yourself.

If it's the other one, you do not have to unlock viewpoints in the game to unlock sidequests or mainquests.

-Traveling to that icon.
-Unlocking that particular part of the map. (CTOS Tower/Sync Points)
-Rinse & Repeat for 20 hours.
Ubisoft = Profit!
Do you prefer MSAA or TXAA?
