    This game's scripted missions have been pissing me off. No other complaints, but the scripted missions are godawful. Stealth is worthless. One mission I had to steal a truck, I decided hey let's try this stealthy so they don't send reinforcements. I ended up knocking out all the guards. Reinforcements come anyway.

    Tried it again while leaving one guard alive. Reinforcements come anyway.

    Tried it again guns blazing. Reinforcements come anyway.

    There is no incentive to play with stealth, the outcome is still the same scripted bull****.
    Oh yeah and the tailing missions. OH GOD MAKE IT STOP. I've had enough from the AC series. I don't want Watch Dogs to be AC with guns, but they are determined to turn it into just that.

    This game is fun as hell, but the missions are just terrible.

    I'm not nearly as far in as you, but there a few things that majorly piss me off in video games:

    1) escort the x
    2) chase the x
    3) timed levels

    I'm liking it more now, haven't done much of the campaign but finally unlocked the online game play.

    Trailed one guy till I succeeded. Then next thing I knew I was just walking around, and I spotted an Asian chick sitting on top of a semi. I was like WTF is the AI doing....then realized I better pull out my phone, and it was another player who was about to attempt to hack me. I didn't get to kill them, they drove off (fail on my part...i had my chance).

    The more I play it, the more I am liking the game.

    If you're walking about and hear a car crash or explosion...you're probably about to be hacked.

    Don't bank on the car crash so much.
    AI accidents do happen from time to time.

    Many people just choose to press the start screen from time to time. If the game is paused in the background then you're not being hacked, if the game is moving in the background you are being hacked.

    Same goes for the slow mo focus technique. If the slow mo focus doesn't work, you are being hacked.

    My graphics are better and I'm playing on a framerate of 50fps.

    Argument failed. I will never go back to wasting my money on a console.

    I'm having more fun playing this game than I ever did, playing GTA 5.

    A con is that you can't fly planes in this game like you can GTA though...I think?

    This game was a major letdown for like the first 5 hours then it started hitting its stride. Its no gta 5 but I'm having fun with it.

    Pause the game, go to options and go to online and you should see "Online Invasions" turn it off and it would say "Do You Want To Disable" hit X (for PS4) or A (XB1) when it says "Your online invasions will not be enabled for players to hack"

    Only put in a couple hours or so. Definitely feeling like I'll be putting this game on eBay within a month.

    Just hasn't been entertaining... yet.

    Only good character is Damien, and even finished i do not find myself attached to any characters at all. All of their relationships seemed over done. All the twists are really bad and all of Adians leads are so convenient.
    At the end this does not hold a finger to other games like it.

    I finished up the main story yesterday afternoon. I wish GTAV was on PC so I could compare it. The game reminded me of the TV show Person of Interest.

    Overall, it was well worth the $35.00. I liked the hacking premise. I wish they had some true hacking versus simple puzzles. I hope the online play is promising. I do look forward to the next installment.

    I will agree, overall the characters are very boring.

    Defalt is the biggest WTF character in the game. I thought he would have a bigger role in the story but he's just just annoying hacker troll? Wow.

    The game is decent, the story is decent, the mechanics are decent. The game just screams of mediocrity. Its a good game, its a good story, I have nothing to really complain about but nothing to really praise about the game either.

    They didn't take enough risks imo. Just trying to take the tried and true Assassin's Creed formula and apply that to a future setting with a couple of tweaks here and there. It just doesn't feel enough like a new IP.

    Gameplay is great, it just starting to get really repetitive to me. Theres like over a 100 side missions available, but its really only 5 different categories of missions, and inside the 5 different categories they're all the same type of missions over and over. Every 2-3 minutes theres a crime, those are all the same. Hacking people is fun but that within it's self get repetitive and boring after 10 times. The campaign is decent, it's the only thing that doesn't get repetitive, but once its finished, the game is basically over IMO.
