It's not a next gen title, breh. It's cross gen.

They made it for all consoles , Next gen is when they make it for ps4/xbox1 . I hate how people say watchdogs in Next gen when its not.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

@ a 7 year old game doing more than a "next gen" game...

I knew this Watch Dogs shyt was a struggle but @ missing shadows and those godfather-esque car physics...

High res textures aside, the only thing Watch Dogs does better than IV is foliage...

Flickering Myth - No score

While Watch Dogs is not a terrible game, after promising so much the level of disappointment will be very high amongst gamers. It’s very much an average game that promised the world and delivered a barren little lifeless moon instead. You’d be better off returning to the much more impressive and immersive GTA V as Watch Dogs is not the first next-gen defining game we were told it would be.

Jeux Vidéo Magazine: 19/20

Watch_Dogs accomplished all the hopes placed on it and delivers a successful new take on open world games. Almost perfect, but with a slight disappointment on the story.

The Good:

• Gameplay and level design
• The life in Chicago
• Generous content

The Bad:

• The scenario. Meh!
• The first loading
• That's all!

CeX: 5/5

Overall Watch Dogs is a fantastic start to an exciting franchise. From it's beautifully designed city that is a true joy to simply stroll around, to the epic hacking gameplay mechanic put in place, Watch Dogs has delivered on the promises it made during E3 2012. While the game isn't earth shattering, it's something that you'll end up pouring hours upon hours into. Whether it's reading the profiles of the countless inhabitants of Chicago, stopping crimes before they happen, jerking around with traffic lights, stealing money right from someone’s bank account, or cruising through the many city districts on offer, Watch Dogs is your home for the next few months.

Watch Dogs delivers on high expectations and gets a 5/5.

T4Mag: 9.5/10

Watch Dogs is a game that offers more in a package than it’s worth. With a single-player campaign running anywhere between 30-35 hours, an array of mini-games and a fully integrated multiplayer, this game has some serious teeth that will be a hot contender for Game of the Year 2014. If you’re a gamer, you will be hard-pressed to find a better value than what Watch Dogs has to offer. Bear in mind though that the game shares many parallels with GTA 5 and similarities between them both will be hard to ignore. But, given the fact that the combat mechanic and hacking in Watch Dogs is a step above GTA 5, we wouldn’t be wrong to assume that Ubisoft has a winner on their hands.

PROS

• Amazing gameplay and graphics
• Characters seem to have unique personalities
• Variety of dialogues that don't get old
• Deep narrative and skill system

CONS

• NPCs can sometimes be stupid
• No pleasure in hunting for fast cars

Gameblog: 4/5 - Very Good - 'Must-have' label

Does Watch Dogs fulfill its contract, i.e. offering a true open-world game with interesting gameplay centered on hacking, all inside a huge, hyper-connected city? Yes, undeniably. An excellent first draft in this genre where GTA reigns, the Ubisoft title even competes with it in a beautiful way, by intelligently standing out thanks to an original approach. So, a very good game, even if it's not as technically impressive as its initial public reveal and despite a few flaws regarding the artificial intelligence of the enemies, a scenario we wish was more engaging, or a repetitive aspect fo rthe rougher players who'll rather use weapons instead of the numerous subtleties of hacking. Anyway, with its gargantuan content and a limited yet original online play, Watch Dogs imposes itself as a must-have on the PS4.

The good:

• The density and content of Chicago
• Online play in the solo campaign
• The progression in Aiden's skills
• The fine blend of hacking, infiltration and action
• Original online play...

The bad:

• ...but not deep enough
• Lackluster scenario
• Underdeveloped enemy AI
• Music and sounds are somewhat generic
• Playing rough sometimes seems to pay better than infiltration and hacking
• Aiden and his lack of charisma

Game got higher scores than it deserves. Probably that Ubisoft Payola

Nah, y'all just cherry picking stuff, there's a lot that watch dogs is doing that's far beyond what gta did.

This. shyt is beyond petty at this point. Specially with nikkas who haven't even played it harping on this bullshyt.

Besides the biggest feature of the game that's prominently featured in various different ways and constantly changing the way you interact with the world, like what?

You can't be serious

i'm not trying to take away from the "press X to hack" elements. but in order to make it comparable, lets to stick to what both games are doing. in terms of story, characters, gun play, driving, motion capture, lighting, storyline, multuplayer -- gta v would appear to be the better game

 

[MeachTheMonster]

hacking elements aside, like what?

The biggest thing is physics.

The physics in gta are ass. Jump and flail into an object and fall flat on your face

Also the wind water and particle effects in watchdogs are a lot more advanced.

Lighting too

As much y'all wanna claim GTA.....blah blah blah

You will never get a shot of gta that looks this good.

Also little touches like multiple in-car views. And the fact that you can see inside of building from the outside, and there's plenty more buildings to go in.

Also animations are a lot better.

The list goes on. I'm really not sure why y'all decided this is the game you want to nitpick so hard, but its getting really old at this point.
