Well, in that case I'll be streaming in a few minutes - twitch.tv/dronehouse
It's really hard to tell in an open world game. Took me a little longer than that.
Over here (The Netherlands) you just have to get in line and wait. No tickets. So if you want to be one of the first people to get in and leave early you'll have to arrive around 8/9 pm depending on what game it is. GTA V and every CoD launch are always crazy busy. That ticket system you guys have sounds great. If they did that over here I'd probably go to more midnight launches. Now it's just not worth my time
They started the system a couple years ago (I first remember it with GTA:IV) and found it a lot better. Before that I typically just got the game the next day. It wasn't worth spending all that time being bored in line.

Gonna tell you right now this is a bad idea.
I've been to tons of these midnight releases. If you show up at 11:55 prepare to wait a long time (depending on how many people show up).
Trust me, get there at 10 (or better yet 9:30) Get your ticket and leave.
Return at 11:55 and you will have a place at the front.
Took your advice, moment you posted this I left out my apartment, 15 minutes later I am ticket #2. Then went back home. Going to leave back out in 1 hour.

Man, I really wish my Gamestop did tickets, but my town is small enough to not justify them, I guess. Here the line is first come first serve and if you leave you lose your spot. You can never tell with the lines here, for a game like GTA V you better get there by 11pm (and the line is still long then, it just gets too long after that), for Watch Dogs, who knows. I get off at 11 and I'm heading straight there.
Sigh, still waiting for Green Man. I just want to have it downloaded and ready for when I get home
I'm in the same situation, really looking forward to playing it. Got a feeling my bro will be playing his PS4 Gold edition first, though.

Completely agree. For a game called Grand Theft Auto, you wouldn't think that driving would be the most boring part.
Um... So yeah, do you guys remember that old ps3 thing where installs took a billion years if the console was both reading and writing to same disk at the same time?
As it turns out, this is apparently included as some kind of throwback feature in the digital version of PS4 watch dogs as well. Currently at 73%, two hours down...

First mission pretty much instantly. That was over in 5-10 minutes, and from then on it's mandatory 100%.
Edit: I should also mention that the install is weird, it's internal for the game and not tracked by the PS4 os in any way I can tell. The actual os thinks its installed.
Edit2: Actually, to clarify further...
You need to download, and install, the entire game through the PS4 os to 100% before you can even start it.
When it starts, you can play the first mission, and then you find out that there's an internal, second install going on, and that this install needs to reach 100 before you can proceed. This is the slow one.

Got to play about the first 40 mins or so thanks to a VPN unlocking it.
Not much to judge from right now, seems pretty standard fare and what I expected. Visuals are a bit inconsistent, sometimes they look magnificent but when you go speeding in a car the whole illusion sort of shatters and stuff is blurrier. But overall it's a pretty game (PC maxed)

Watchdogs has no water patrol police force, so if you get a bounty and just jump in the water they cant get you. Hop in a passing boat and get out of view of the helicopter and you lose your bounty instantly. THIS NEEDS FIXING

That's ridiculous. It's not like there isn't boats to ride in the game.

LOL! Such an oversight. Did they even play other open world games? Oh well, I think I'll prefer this oversight when I'm being chased.

Screw that. Fuck the police, it's fun when they chase you through the city in sandbox games but annoying as shit when it's nearly impossible to get away by water. I mean, what are you gonna hack out there or hide behind to have a chance to lose your notoriety?

Dat high powered patrol car is coming for you!!!
That really needs to be patched in though. That's a major oversight.

I imagine there isnt anything to hack on water which would just make police chases gta levels of annoying. Atleast on land u have more player agency about how police chases turn out so im ok with this to be honest

Sometimes they send helicopters after you, so swimming isn't going to help there.
Still a funny oversight for any game with a police/notoriety system, though.

Agreed, that has been completed, soooo good!
It's out the same day as the game. Links when it goes live at the bottom of the page: http://blog.ubi.com/watch-dogs-ctos-mobile-companion-app-faq/
Can they really just patch in police boats though? Seems like it would be a bit more of a process than just a patch. Maybe I'm wrong though, dunno.

This game could have used another 6 month delay...
What do you mean? Seems to be the opposite in that people finally getting their hands on the game after predicting it to fail are pleasantly surprised it is still the same game as E3 2012, albeit without the graphics.
Edit: Oh dear god we are at it again, bring out the Watch Dogs helpline!
I assure u the needless comparisons to gta and talks of graphical downgrades are far from over
I hated evading the po-po in GTAV. But I think there should've been a water police or coast guard in the game, just no forced chases on water.
If they didnt give chase then what would be the point in having them?

I would rather just have the helicopter and cops poorly shoot at me in the water. Once you get in the water you can't hack anything so this is a nice break when things just gets too real.
