This is my modification for Watch Dogs.

First I'm going to tell you how I started.

-I'm a very obsessed person, with many things mainly graphics

. Also i'm a fan of using sweetfx on every game I can use it. I like to make my own presets always.
After release and this stupid stuttering problems I started searching for fixes etc.
Then I saw many threads talking about the engine when I realized it was based on dunia 2 so I tried to unpack the files which obviously not worked.. so after searching so much for the unpacker I found it, started playing with it and after a long time of testing I ended up getting the E3 Bloom from 2012 working.
After studying how bin hex worked and downloading many tools to convert files etc, I was able to integrate and enable many effects. I told myself to keep trying and trying and that is what I have done.


This is the result of my obsession and my try to be like the greatest (iCEnhancer, MalDo, etc) those guys are genius, and I'll always say the same thing: I'm just a novice.

Enough of history

the game was "downgraded" on PC because they wanted to keep a more consistent look across platforms and didn't want "next-gen" console owners to be jealous of the master race. It's pathetic that we're still being held back by these console owning plebians.

Like a dumb ass I got this on ps4.

I got this on PC because of the 360/PS3 roots. I am getting Assassin's Creed Unity on the consoles because it was made for them. I know that PC would run it best but with what I saw on the Xbox conference, I'm satisfied getting it for the consoles now.

That's pretty pathetic of Ubisoft. The console versions could look better too. It's like they designed everything for the PS3/360 first.

but that's well known though. what moron really thinks that consoles are compareable to a high powered gaming pc?

Blame Ubi for this fukkery. They act like cats out here don't know how to find their dirt in the age of the internet. They should be roasted for this shyt deservingly so.
