:siren:It's out:siren:
This game is apparently really divisive. In short, it's AssCreed+hacking, but you might wanna read the thread and look at some videos to see if it's up your alley.

Story
Watch_Dogs(or Watch Dogs, still unsure about that) is an open world sandbox game set in a modern day Chicago that, after a disgruntled power station employee uploaded a virus that damaged Chicago's power network, connected the entire city to a Central Operating System(CtOS).

Our Hero

Aiden Pierce is our incredibly stupidly dressed protagonist, a skilled hacker and former thug, who lost a family member(his nieceapparently) to a generic "violent tragedy", and picked the "seek bloody vengence" option on the menu. He aslo got a side order of "dresses like a goony goony goonlord".
He and his hacker buddies are going to bring the system down and blah blah blah, it's a pretty generic low sci-fi plot.

Features
-Guns!
-Cars!
-Hacking!
-Customize his goony outfit!*
*Will not make it any less goony.
-And this thing!

I don't know if this has already been discussed or whatevs, but I figured I'd go ahead and post about it since it was driving me up the wall. If you are a PS4 user and have the Season Pass, but still can't access any of the day-1 content, it is available on the Playstation store. You just have to search for it. Go to Games > New > Add-Ons, and then use the "search for more add-ons" button on the far-right. The Untouchables pack and Conspiracy! Digital trip are both up and ready to download (Untouchables is two separate downloads for some reason). If you have the Season Pass, you won't have to pay for them. Note: as far as I can't tell, this stuff still isn't showing up in the Download menu in the game itself.

re: the last 5 pages of idiotic graphical settings chat

Read nvidia's Watch_Dogs Graphics, Performance & Tweaking Guide. It explains every setting and the effect on framerate, and there are interactive comparisons to show the visual difference between the various settings.

Here's another leak, this time a full res screenshot, way prettier than those marketing videos made it out to be:

They're doing some live stuff over at Gamespot for Watch Dogs. They specifically said no story stuff so they'll just be doing random crap (At least, so far I guess? I don't know if that'll change but I doubt it.) Playing on PS4.

What about the other thread? I don't like change.

It was old, lovely and the OP was severely outdated.

Get with it old timer. :colbert:

Just ignore NeoSeeker. He's either a lovely troll or insane. He posted a bunch in the old thread about how Watch Dogs was just a scam to sell new, expensive video cards.

People who are having issues with the knee capping, what gun(s) are you using? I've been using the different revolvers the whole game and have never had any issues doing it.

Incomprehensible brogue aside I love his gag of "I can't even get fockin' Snapshot to work on this thing!" *clicks phone, makes skyscraper explode behind him*

"It takes place in a fictional city called Chicago, which, like every other fictional city, is just a pastiche of Glasgow."

I think I found my new favourite reviewer :allears:.
