Not really. The core gameplay is:
-third person cover shooter (not AC),
-stealth more inspired in SC than in AC,
-and driving (not AC).

One day y'all are gonna have to get over the Vanquish review.
Wouldn't work here. The hacking relies largely on swift execution, especially while driving. Anything more complex mechanically than a button press would only hamper it.

This much is true.
Uhm, I'm pretty sure that meter *does* have consequences. IIRC, people will call the police faster if your meter is mostly at the negative side.

The difference between Mario Kart and Watchdogs is that WD review embargo just lifted today, while MK8 was lifted while ago so it's normal to have more reviews.
Hrm, dissapointing reviews for me. I mean, the game is getting good scores but I had no interest in playing another modern themed game with cars and guns and conspiracy theories so the reviews would have had to tell me it was the best game ever for me to consider it. I read Jeffs review and now i'm just like, nope. : /.

Please trust the gaming journalism websites reviews (Not every site)
Reading the reviews made me facepalm multiple times, i finished the game, was hyped for it but ended up being disappointed
Driving (as bad as GTA 4)
Main missions (lame/repetitive and feel like fillers)
Story+Characters including the lead are bad
Hacking Mini Game gets worse and worse as you advance through the story
Stealth+Escort missions are annoying as hell
The Core of the game is lacking, you buy watch dogs to mess around with cops, play some mini games and explore the city basically.
Hang on the game was only released today and you've finished it already??????

You will have to get over that, too. I for one have no regrets about my review there.
Sorry I can't have your opinions for you.
Here is that awesome gameplay again (spoiler free):

i said in my comment:
"For example, mario kart 8 already has 58 critics after less than 2 weeks, and it will have a lot more after some time (same for watch dogs, i guess)."
so thats what i am saying. That instead of saying that it has a 82, people should wait.
The driving itself is bad
The driving itself varies from car to car (each car got a different handling level)
Therefore I'm trying to get used to the already bad driving mechanic but it's hard to get used to it when there is already variety of handling levels for each car, i have played games with bad mechanic before but i can always get used to them since it's always the same
Plus The Driving was only one point of the many things i mentioned
The story,missions,etc of the things i mentioned were lacking

Hey if you wanna throw 10's around to mediocre games with decent stories more power to you man, you get paid for
Yeah, I can see that for sure. Perhaps a mechanic where you program your abilities or objects in the environment and then execute with one button on the fly might be a decent middle ground. There's a lot of promise in the concept, looking forward to seeing for myself how Watch Dogs approaches it.

I wish every mediocre game was as good as Bioshock Infinite.

not in retail though...?
Many people get games before their official release date.

A Spaced gif! From now on, I will read and watch everything you do.
It's funny how so many people on this forum are trying to force these reviews into confirming their suspicion that they won't like this game. I don't get it. After the downgrade (which apparently wasn't even a thing according to DF's analysis), negativity here has been borderline irrational.
People went from expecting bad reviews, to saying scores didn't reflect the cons listed on the reviews, to outright dismissing the reviews that were generally positive. Cognitive dissonance is strong today.
I was waiting to see whether reviews were positive. They seem to be, across the board, so I put in my order and should be receiving it tomorrow (dat Prime).

Tons of Gamestops and other retailers broke the date selling it last week, people even got it from Amazon last week.
do 100 things right, no one cares, do one thing wrong theyll remember forever
Still, the Vanquish review was pretty "strange".
Ehh, I wouldn't read that much into it. This happens with every AAA game on every forum ever.

Driving is god awful. Can't really say much about the gameplay, but so far it seems to be the usual Ubi "quality" of open world games.
Lots of places probably sent the games out before the weekend to ensure that it would arrive on the 27th. It's really odd to release a game on a tuesday, so the leaks are on Ubisofts hands.

Because it was actually a great game that was doing something new.
I'm just hearing bad and good, no comparison. driving is the most important thing for me in a game like this.
People will have differing opinions on this but I see GTA IV as the pinnacle for the genre, here's why;
The cars feel like they have mass
The cars have feeling of weight transfer
The cars corner like road cars would, loads of under steer, when cornering at excessive speed.
Sportier cars are better handlers
So how does WD measure up? And is the online racing through city courses.
Don't get me wrong, man...I love vanquish and bioshock, but you shouldn't say decent stories when comparing the two. The story in vanquish was way worse than bioshock's. From a gameplay perspective it's understandable, vanquish blows bioshock and about every other game out of the water.
or maybe, that was his opinion on the game. I know thats incomprehensible to process that someone might actually have opinions that differ from yours...

I'll probably end up buying this game. Just not at $60. It's a Ubisoft game so I'll wait for the magic $30 price tag.

Not even in the face of armageddon.
Bowing out of this thread now, before this turns into a Vanquish debate. Hope people who do pick up watch Dogs enjoy what it offers.

Best delete your account just to be safe.
The elegance comes from planning and executing optimal runs, to nail high scores aka Platinum medals. If you're casually playing the games as regular story campaigns then I can see how people think Pt games are average. Your first playthrough of the game is merely the tutorial.
Da 2 extremes. Telling people their disappointment isn't justified isn't going to help them get over the disappointment.
how dare you post that gif as a response
how dare you have opinions
HOW DARE YOU GIVE CALL OF BOOTY MODERN RAMIREZ 2 AND 3 A NINE POINT FIVE OUT OF TEN
