I got around to it lol. I'll keep in mind to take a better one when I'm playing.

i thought the graphic looks kind of good but not much better than last generation version.

Paul, keep in mind that you are looking at it on a computer screen. Compressed image on a PHP based forum from the looks of it not even close to the resolution an HDTV can do.. Not gonna look as good as on an HDTV. That aside, the graphics look pretty good. Looking forward to getting this when I get my PS4 relatively soon

[Paul2]

i know.  it said the resolution is 1037x584 for the first pic, or to make it short 584p.  the second pic, it said the resolution is 1152x648 or 648p.

While Full HD for HDTV is 1080p which was shorten from the full resolution of 1920 x 1080p.  so, 584p has lesser pixel detail than 1080p.  Over 3 times less pixel detail.

But yesterday i just seen a video graphic comparison of this game on 5 different hardwares (4 consoles and 1 PC).  And i found the PC has the best graphic, ps4 comes 2nd, then xbox1 comes 3rd.  xbox360 comes 4th and ps3 comes 5th.

When they compare the graphic between this generation (pc, ps4, xb1) to last generation (xb360, ps3).  the difference wasn't as huge as i hope.  sure, current generation has higher polygon counts, better texture, and lighting.  But it feels like it only 10 to 20 times better than last generation graphic instead of like hundred of times better than last generation like 200 to 300 times better.

Its probably higher than 20 times better than last generation graphic if considering the frame rate might be consistent of 30fps on ps4, xb1 while last generation might drop somewhat on some part of the game.  maybe at most 50 to 60 times better than last generation?  which is still isn't as big as i was expecting.  i was expecting like 300 to 500 times better.  maybe i have over estimated the power of this generation consoles.

It's not an AMAZING looking game. its just ok. The E3 video when they first showed gameplay looked a lot better than it ended up looking

But its the first series of games of this generation. They'll get a lot better at getting more out of the system as time goes on, but its not a main draw to this game.

We had this same discussion when PS2 first came out and when PS3 first came out. They just started developing for it. The games are gonna be better than the previous generation but not by leaps and bounds. When they figure out how to develop for the systems, they will be a lot better.

I agree with you that i remember seeing E3 2012 demo of this game on youtube recently i think and the 2012 E3 demo looks very CG.  The lighting, the texture, and the particle effects look eye candy.  Such as the rain particles on the ground as it shine from the light sources look very, very eye candy sweet.  Just like CG.

The final version of this game in 2014 looks really disappointing.  especially the light sources still doesn't look as CG eye candy as the 2012 demo.  I couldn't believe how much they downgraded the graphic for the final version.

so, watch dogs sold 4 million copies in just a week.  that's very impressive.  i read that some people like the game while other find it just an okay game.

I was thinking about getting it. Has it gotten better?

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

i got it on pc and finished it.
It's ok, has fuck all reply value. It has small little things you can do in the city, play chess. Trip balls on drugs. Do convoy hits etc, but for the most part its gta with the ability to hack into cameras.

You use these cameras to jump around camera to camera doing stuff like blow up pipes, hack devices (phones, laptops etc) to get info, kill c@#ts or unlock doors etc. You can also unlock stuff from hacking peoples phones. Mind you theres not really much hacking. Unless you call puzzle games hacking.

That being said it grows old fast. Still a good game but it is limited. I found that amount of vehicles limited, weapons are limited and so are the devices you use.  It does have a fairly open world but just not enough in it to really bother with going around exploring. I found myself sticking the the main game and once in awhile doing Gang hits out of boredom. I got a feeling there's going to be a few more of these games as like assassins creed they will probably improve as time goes on.

I dont know what the heck game youre playing if you think theres not enough to do lol. If anything theres too much to do

Been playing a long time and i only have 40% completed. Between all the convoys, hideouts, "random" crimes, main quest, and shit load oc ollectables theres a lot to do. Now not all of its fun but it has its moments lol. Id agree with the replay value. I may sell it back when im done and i havent sold a game in forever. I find the hideouts to be the most fun. Convoys i just found myself blowing everything up every time since it was a major pain in the ass to try and be more creative

Anyway. Water does look good in the game. One more screenshot

[Viper_Fujax]

I surprisingly got really into the story (i was doing side stuff and not the story for a long time) and finished it tonight. Was actually my favorite aspect of the game (although im probably hyping it too much now for people who havent played it lol)

I'm not sure if i'll do the collectables though. Even after all this time, I'm only at 60% complete. The completionist in me wants to do EVERYTHING, no matter how not fun itll be, but I have splinter cell, psychonauts, and last of us remastered i want to get to.

oh my god.  just how many videogames do you own?  it sounds like you own and play a little way too many videogames.  do you have time to take a break and relax?

videogames are my relaxing lol. If it's not doing that, then it's a tv series. I dont put that much time into one singular game like a lot of people do so i'm always looking for something new to play

I think i have a good balance of work/gf/games going

[Paul2]

ok.  cool.  i was worry you play too much videogames that you don't even go outside and get some fresh air.  but it sounds like you probably have a good balance of work, girlfriend, and videogames.  so it does sounds healthy.
