    Interested in people's honest opinions about the game once people have had a chance to play through a bit - I don't know what to make of the comments etc... on reddit (pinch of salt?)

    I don't need to buy another game...but you know :)

    Very good game for me so far, running on my 7950 and nice and smooth, graphics are pretty good but nothing like some of the you tube vids they put out

    The hacking concept is cool and you earn points so you can unlock certain abilities.
    I am playing with M/K and the controls can be a bit fiddly, i have not tried my controller yet but i am getting used to the keys

    Overall i am impressed with the game and will play quite a bit of it when time allows, i got this cheaper from CD Keys so makes me happier playing the game at a cheaper price

    livestreamed 2 hours worth on my youtube channel last night.

    Its basically GTA4 (and equally as horribly unoptimised - even when running on 3 titans @ 1440p) with a "hacking" cellphone.

    Havent got too much into the story yet, though story seems fine so far. Graphics are on par with GTA4, not as good as a sleeping dogs. laggy when driving, not as smooth as other sandbox games of similar nature. I found a saints row-esque space invaders easter egg which takes you from the seriousness of the storyline to a SR3 style blast up - then back again, which is a bit strange.

    All in all, i'd give it 6/10, so far. its certainly nothing like the adverts, and its definitely not "next gen" in any respect

    Having played several hours now, it's extremely fun. Streaming the game for the past hour. Just taking a break for Pizza. Also need to empty my bladder.

    Anyone wanting to come watch, chat etc http://twitch.tv/mrdomrocks

    Frames chug slightly but stream is perfect.

    I have not found the game laggy at all so far and IMHO looks better than GTA but not any where near next gen like mentioned

    Well they said they had to downgrade it from the original stuff they released about it, so it makes sense that it doesn't look as good.

    Watched a bit of TB's video on it, sounds like it's quite badly optimised which is a pity.

    I'm a bit worried at the sort of 'streaming' we're likely to see.

    Its a fun game having played a bit on it, with 2 680s all settings max easy enough for a stable 50-60 Fps. The early YouTube screens looked awesome but the game is not close to that standard.

    May need a driver update and optimization before SLi runs well...

    Any decent official reviews yet?

    Apparently the drivers released yesterday were "watchdogs optimised". Reviews seem to be around 8/10

    The new drivers made a HUGE difference to how this game played. Literally a 20-30fps increase and most of the stuttering issues whilst driving is gone.

    I have had four crashes today alone when running the game, streamed for most of the day and things have played up a little. Mostly game just locking up and crashing. Happened just now whilst not streaming. I also turned the graphics back up.

    Stupid game is stupid. Fun but these crashes. Bleh.

    Also Uplay is offline so no online modes available.
