The answers to this question will interest me. Much answer, so comment, WOW.

Watch out for the kinda negative video going around that makes it seem like the visuals and physics make the game less fun... That isn't how games work.

Looks like GTA Chicago to me. With less dick jokes.

I watch a lot of YouTube game reviews and play throughs. I would get it if I had a next gen console. Looks good, if a bit glitchy.

I didn't think about buying it until I saw this picture.

I have it. PC. Right now? Too many crashes/glitches on the PC related to graphics card drivers, and Ubisoft's servers have been down since release because of the high demand. Other systems? GET IT. It's actually quite fun. It's a good blend between Assassins Creed and GTA, with more elements from Creed. If you loved Assassns Creed, get it. You can either take on situations loudly, or take a more subtle approach. Driving in this game is horrible though. (in my opinion, the gas is either fully on, or fully off with no inbetween.)

Interesting that you ask! I just popped it in the PS4 not but an hour ago and played around. It seems like fun. It's not polished like GTA is after so many iterations, but definitely passable. I just wanted something for my PS4 to stop sitting around so yeah, worth it for me.

I'm on the fence as well. I'm itching to get another PS4 game, but most major next-gen (current-gen?) games in Canada were recently bumped up in price from $59.99 to $69.99. Seventy bucks is a lot of cheddar.

I'll likely either get Watch Dogs or the new Infamous, while I wait for the PS4 version of The Last of Us.

I have it on PS3. I think the graphic quality is equivalent to a medium on PC. There is some aliasing, especially on cars. But the game is quite enjoyable for the time I've been playing it (roughly 15 hours since Tuesday), I'm currently in the middle of Act II.

I find the gameplay quite interesting as it lets you choose between a guns blazing approach or stealth. But it can be quite repetitive (drive, hack the cameras, hack the thingy, watch a cutscene), however some missions are a lot of fun.

Many things to do beside the main stories, with collectables. The game mechanics (crime prevention, ...) are quite nice and I think it won't bore me as much as GTA.

I'm kinda kicking myself for not buying the GTX 660 + Watch_Dogs bundle, but my guess is that we're a month or so from a Steam sale so I'm hoping to snag it that way.

I preordered for PS4 since it was supposed to be launch day release. I've only been able to play for an hour or so (finished the first mission) and it seems pretty cool so far.

Had a chance to play it a bit more over the weekend. If you haven't already picked it up I would definitely recommend. The whole time playing I didn't actually even get to the second mission because I was wandering around the town and doing some of the side missions. It seems like it should stay pretty entertaining, but it remains to be seen how the missions go.
