Since there are two threads dealing with the PS4 and PC versions, how about some feedback from my fellow Xbox players. Did any of you guys liked the game okay? I haven't bought it yet but it looks pretty interesting and the reviews seemed to have been generally positive with a few issues such as the combat being similar to GTA V outside of the stealth combat and hacking.

It doesn't remind me of GTA at all. I'm about 50% through it now. Its challenging, but not so hard that I'm losing interest. I like the story so far. It isn't really a shoot em up game, has a nice mixture of action and brain teasers.
Having said that, I HATE the driving. Its sloppy and loose. I would give it about a 7.5 overall
I'm glad I bought it, although if I had to do it over again I may have waited a couple months and paid $40 instead of $60

Oh that's interesting. How did you liked the Chicago environment and how were the police?

Lol I heard they can be pretty relentless too And how big was the in-game Chicago? I saw an article that had it similar in size to GTA IV's Liberty City, only slightly bigger.

I think thats pretty accurate, a little bigger than LC.
I'm on the last chapter now and these cops are no joke! This is driving me crazy, I can't beat it no matter what.
Other than this chapter the cops have been pretty easy to escape. A tip, buy the steam pipe explosion early on, you'll use it.

Its fun, as soon as I beat it I'm going to play it through again!

Great to know! Thanks for the feedback and the tip

It's also nice that it seems to have high replay value too.

I have really enjoyed playing Watch_Dogs. There is so much to do. I especially love the Alone mini game. You can tell the creators did their homework when designing Chicago. The only thing that bugs me is they put hills and mountains in the background. Outside of Chicagoland is straight up prairie and farmland.

Being from Chicago I thought they did a pretty good job with Chicago's Downtown area however outside of the CBD/ Loop it was poorly mapped. Depending on the vehicle the cops are pretty tough to shake, but a motorcycle and a few hacking abilities will do the trick

Hey, remember how everyone was upset that WD didn't look as good as they showed in E3 2012? Well, come to find out they intentionally made the PC version worse but left the code in. You can mod it to make it look as it did before, this is crazy!
