The main missions and cutscene are awesome, but imo there is not enough things to do in the free world. Like 10 cars, all you can do is police poursuit.

And yeah the sides missions are not very fun. Or just too easy. When i need to stop a crime, its fun but, its too easy... The criminal isnt even running, he is jogging so it takes 2 seconds to catch him. And the fixer contract are kinda stupid.

But the online is awesome too. It just takes 0 minutes to find a game.

So the game is good, easy to plat, but many people, including me, thought it would be a bit more like GTA., with tons of things to do even when not in missions, but its more like saints row. Unrealistic.

I doesnt regret my gold edition, there will be alot of DLC coming out, and even if i finish the game, every missions and sides missions and collectible, i enjoy the multiplayer. Not like in assassins creed where the multiplayer sucks and when you beat the game you dont even play anymore.

you can hack waaaaay more than 8 things lets see:

traffic lights, bridges, barriers, barricades, phones, explosives, cameras, radios, signs, screens, forklifts, car alarms, cranes, construction hooks

these are just things i can name off of the top of my head that i have hacked playing the first few missions. imo the game is really a lot more fun if you play it stealth mode.

but i have to admit i am disappointed with the lack of car customization and gun modification. ive only played about 4 hours and i like it a lot, its not revolutionary like you suggest but for 60 bucks there is so much to do.

the multiplayer is pretty good too. randomly getting invaded and hacked is pretty cool to try and defuse without alerting cops. i have not invaded anybody yet though. also i think the multiplayer rankings and unlocks are pretty good.


I dont count phones cause hacking phones dont do much besides get information
I was more talking about interactive objects
The ONLY time you use forklifts is to get to a higher plane which is ALWAYS set there for a specific path not to crush or stop anything or block a pathway
I dont include phones, radios, cameras, signs, screens, forklifts on the list as they have a minimal role in the gameplay

Traffic lights rarely work since the cops seem to be expert race car drivers and 50% of the time there's no traffic/cars to run the light
Major interactives are barriers, roadspikes, explosives, car alarms, water hoses, steam pipes, and maybe traffic lights
even then there arent that many road blocks or road spikes for you to even activate

Saints row 3 and 4 had SHIT tons to do
The thing is that those sandbox games give you tools and with those tools you have a wide freedom of what to do with them
The thing lacking in this game is freedom with your tool
Everything you hack is for one purpose and only one purpose and i doubt the number of things you hack increase once you hit past half the game

Like just cause 2 they give you a hook but you can do insane amount of things with the hook
attach a car to a plane, hook swing, trip wire, fling a guy to a propane tank, make a random car drag him etc

I wouldnt even wanna list the tons of things you can do in GTA

The thing about watch dogs is not MAINLY because it is repetitive(cause it is), but because there's no substance in what you do
There's no flare or sense of achievement or fascination
You dont get a surge or sort of excitement when you hack things and they do what they do
It's almost generic or like you said, just too easy.

Basically to summarize

This game lacks content

I think the game could be AAA
If they did what they did but added more content on the world and not the hacking
Give us more things to do in the world
Car customizations like someone said earlier, allow us to build our own hideout, give us upgrades to the cars or let us hack the cars for them to drive on their own, make the buildings more detailed and let us enter atleast some of them(cmon its a next gen game), give us banks and let us rob it with hacking or save the bank form a robbery with hacking.
It doesnt need more hacking content though that is the point of the game. It would do fine with more content in the world itself.
I wanted this game to be so much more but it fell so short

He just keeps running!
