Before you buy watchdogs:


After watching it, I am somewhat glad I did not pre-order.

It's not "hating" it's called voicing the "unpopular but true opinion". I just don't believe it is worth R800~ after hearing how bland the game can get at times, I will rather pick it up pre-played.

If thats what you believe then I won't argue with you. You have the right to voice your opinion.

What I was trying to point out in summary, was a game from 2008 had better physics and car mechanics than a game from 2014.
 
And ironically enough, that game from 2008 was practically unplayable on the majority of gaming PCs in 2008. ;)

But jokes aside, I dunno man. Those things in that video are mildly disappointing, but you'd have to be pretty shallow if they were the reason someone decides not to buy the game. You won't even notice the majority of them during normal gameplay. They shouldn't impact enjoyment in any meaningful way.

There's a lot of things that could be (and possibly are) wrong with Watch_dogs, but that video should be the least of anyone's concerns.

Just remember that the Physics changed massively from Gta4 to Gta5,it was toned down quite a bit and in my opinion for the better.I will have my own opinions about the game tomorrow especially the driving as I am a racing sim fan and it is very important to me in an open world game that the driving does not suck like Sleeping Dogs driving sucked.Sleeping Dogs was a good game that i enjoyed but the driving was a huge let down hopefully Watch Dogs will be better but only time will tell as I do not trust other people opinions concerning driving in open world games.

I won't lie GTA IV was a bad PC port.

I am not finding fault and pointing it out for the purpose of bashing the games credibility and making people think twice before buying. I just think Ubi could have done soo much better with the game but they cut out and gimped a lot of stuff.

I agree, I was not trying to be shallow about it - yet there are people that will care and kick up as fuss. Fuckit! It's a game it's meant to be played and you are meant to have fun doing it, buy it or don't buy it people have various reasons as to why they will buy and why not.
 
The game was hyped up that it was going to be great graphically. People are just disappointed that they are not getting what they expected from the hype.

Then have the balls to back it up with some action. Cancel your pre-orders if this isn't the game you want. Don't just be a SA whiner that doesn't do anything to change his circumstances.

I didn't pre-order it. I wanted to see reviews and ask for personal opinions on it, thankfully a lot of people managed to get their copies early and posted a lot of information which saved me time and money.

***EDIT

For those of you that ARE getting it go to: http://watchdogs.monsterenergy.com/desktop/ use the code: 2L4K-7KK5-HFM9 and get a free MP-412 REX. Credit to reddit user: Lega-c

Ah ok :) In that case my comment doesn't apply to you. I very rarely pre-order anything myself. Really peeves me off that people will moan and moan and moan about something and then just buy it anyway or vote for them anyway.

EDIT: Thanks for the tip, have some rep

Hahaha I can understand how you feel I work in a Gaming store and we get that some days. Customer buy's a game comes back a week later and complains about how boring/slow/quick/stupid it was, then expect us all to warn the customer about it, regardless if we know their preferences or not. Thanks for rep! :D

Pretty much.
The way I read the last review went as follows: This game is 5/5 fantastic!
Unless you like a good plot. The plot of this game is awful.
You will have a lot of fun with the awesome combat system! Its perfect!
But the AI isnt very good, so dont expect too much.
Overall its the best game on PS4!
Unless you have played any other games on the PS4 and then it probably wont stack up to those games.
In closing, its a perfect game.
Except the parts thst arn't perfect.
By the end of the review I was just sitting there going, "wtf was that?"
