It has been out for a couple days now, what are people's thoughts?

I've been really enjoying it, the city feels really alive and there is a serious amount of stuff to do. My only annoyance has been how poorly Ubisoft's server infrastructure has coped. Maybe instead of fancy adverts they could have bought more servers.

However, when the multiplayer does work it's awesome. Seamlessly dropping into someone else's game is quite an experience, as is being hacked yourself.

90 degree train turns. Enough said.

Not the game I was hoping it would be, its not bad, but not great either.
Maybe I will get more into it over time.

Pretty much sums the game up for me. It is definitely not worth 60 euros/dollars.
It's mediocre at best, and the vehicle control and collision is horrible. Like something from a Need for Speed arcade game from 2002.

I had high hopes for the game when I saw the reveal at E3 though..

This pretty much sums up Watch Dogs for me too, it could of been a great game but it's just good. It's yet another game playing it safe and doing the same thing over and over again. They created a new IP but did something that other games have done better already. I have no hate for the game but the story is the worst part of it, the typical bad guy takes the girl now your sworn on revenge bla bla... Not to mention but the story kinda goes all over the place later on. This review is a good one http://www.avclub.com/review/watch-dogs ... rma-205103
