Is Watch Dogs Better Now?

[EarthboundHero]

So I was super excite for Watch Dogs, but when I heard how bad it was I stayed away. It's been 4 months or so now and patches have been released. Is it better on PC at this point or no?

Its actually a good question to ask, I've been wondering as well after the wreck of a launch that was

It didn't deserve all the bad reviews and if your computer can handle the extreme HD graphics check out the mod

[Moosie]

It runs better than it did, and the mods make it look good. I don't think that made it a better game, however...

[AlwaysFSX]

The story is still someone crap even after the patches to optimize the game.

Extreme HD graphics? BAHAHAHA

 

You have no idea what you're talking about. When someone could run crysis 3 better than watchdogs, there's a problem. Then there was the botched graphics on purpose, poorly optimized, etc. That's what it was about, I suggest you do some research on what you speak before you speak it when giving advice.

I was talking about the mod that fixed it

I'm able to run the game on highest settings (save for AA) with an R9 280 3GB.

Story-wise it's still crap and the characters are still morally empty and not likeable.

The game itself is OK but it just didn't draw me in.

Sleeping Dogs is a much better game.

Game was never crap for me, was able to run it pretty well on my tiny 7750, but god, the freaking auto run, how the hell do I turn it off, I didn't pay 50 dollars for a game just to have some shit auto run kill me in an intense moment

[Ryukrieger]

In my opinion, the game's mechanics are all good and fairly well-executed and fun, still a bad PC port, yes, the graphics mod would also make the game looks way better with minimal performance impact (I was like "WTH?", since I'm only using a laptop).

Before the patches, I ran the game on Low, after the patches, I can turn to Medium, so I think the performance is fairly good now. You'll most likely enjoy it, just keep all the hype and influences out of your mind, then you'll  probably enjoy the game.

I am running this game with AMD FX-8350, 8 GB RAM and Asus GTX 760 on ultra except Textures with 40 to 45 Frames. My Ambient Occlusion is on HBAO+ and my AA is TXAA 2X. I love this game's story, characters and gang hideouts are awesome. After patches, it is even better. Good job UBISOFT.

well... on the topic: yes, it runs a lot better, and the mods make it look way much better.

On the story line... i actually enjoyed the story,  but i'm not a big social guy to begin with, so maybe that helps

As for the gameplay... wel... Hopefully they improve it in the sequal (i heard it's supposed to grow into a franchise correct me if i'm wrong)
it's not as good as it should be, it's like remember me  (if you know that game) once you know how to do things, you just repeat it and it will usually work
little over no variation
