I'm going to touch on the respective points:
Graphic
I play on an Intel Core i7 processor with 18 GB of RAM and the latest graphics card NVidea (Titan Z). So I can expect in my opinion, be able to play on Ultra settings - games like Assassins Creed, Ghosts or TESO run perfectly smoothly on highest settings.
The game system itself Watch_Dogs'd recommend "Fits In" and sets all values to "High" ....
Unfortunately, the developers have probably other systems as the player - because in part the graphics are really incorrect (whether on high or ultra)! Detail, design and featuring the neighborhoods are really succeeded. If everything would be displayed properly! At the beginning I have not even taken the correct true now but I have a ton of screenshots of these errors:
- People with fair skin color suddenly have a black face or black hands
- Cars, people and objects suddenly appear in front of a on because the sight is corrected extremely down (and this can not be set differently)
- Vehicles act as phony as cardboard cutout, here I am extremely disappointed (graphic of racing games of 2005!)
- Partially whole streets are dark, the floor and the walls are only "colored / light" when you're on the verge
- Effects like water in the streets or rain are little by little faded and hidden behind a back
- Clothes many passersby acts mirror and absolutely unrealistic
From this graph I am absolutely disappointed! My PC can more than afford what would have to offer the game - but nobody here has probably bothered to use it. Everything seemed like a gross ported console version that no one has been revised. What is unfortunately also be seen in menus and character skills ...
I think of the selection of my weapons mousebased rotation (Waffenrad) I get a tantrum ...
But when I see a character in Cutsequenz a (main) suddenly has black hands, it passes me. Interestingly, the main character is always and at all times displayed perfectly (thank goodness!). Very bad for me, the "graphic tractor" - the middle of a race, the engine depends on love. Here all sounds are normal, the car goes on - but the world is shown delayed. Here to keep control is impossible. Unfortunately, this happens from time to time when nature itself - it looks around and everything is blurred and depends on itself. Goes with such a game just is not, especially if you can show an above-average new hardware! What please make players with older systems! Full despair?
Gameplay
The idea was very well done by the developers and the many opportunities are extremely interesting. From a purely practical one can with his smartphone hacking and control everything.
From cell phones, personal computers, bank accounts, vending machines to electric gates and surveillance cameras. At every corner you will find small mini-games, races, challenges and new opportunities. One can collect songs and be able to play freely, hunt aliens, go hell race ....
It would be so much fun to do all to explore - if the controller would be better. There probably the biggest point deduction from me. Because with keyboard and mouse, the game is really, really corrosive (controller brings a significant improvement!).
Of course it is so playable, no question. But I did not enjoy, fluid and intuitive is something else! The character is already very out of round - as you can imagine what it's like in car racing.
One builds only accidents, does not create a course without any problem - the control with AWSD is so imprecise and vague, as it can not be worse! I had to plug my controller for this game, what it has at least made a bit better! This is a point that simply is not there today, and therefore it hails criticism as well - totally justified!
Even if I fit the control and change, I can rausholen not a good driving dynamics. Many console gamers have no problem, therefore, the problem probably only on the PC version.
Unfortunately, it's also an endless succession of repetitive tasks .... no interesting side quests, it's just always the same. If one has time an area by, you can adjust with the others in exactly the same sequence. Money you have to burn, after a few hours you can already buy anything new .... here simply lack the "More".
Story / Setting / Time
The story is very interesting and well thought out. The main character gets through many sequences and "soliloquies" a special depth and you just like him (at least I;)). It was surprising for me that at times even I was sorry to have to kill enemies. It brings everything but a certain mood and atmosphere over, although one has to contend with as graphic errors.
Because let's face it: you take a game seriously, in which people with light skin color suddenly have jet black faces! Or the environment piece by piece no 3 meter sits in front of one together!
The game time is difficult to estimate. There are "only" 4 acts, therefore the main story is very manageable. However, of course you can make on side missions and mini-games some time betting.
On-line
This is a point that I can not comment. To my seasons the server was mostly unavailable (offline, busy, unavailable). If however - and it is actually even a gamer hopped in my game! - The connection was frequently interrupted. Very bad! Therefore, I am concerned not currently online and hope here on more power. Comparing it with The Elder Scrolls Online, where you can at any time find someone - is on the Ubisoft servers probably as busy as in the Gobi desert ....
CONCLUSION
As such an entertaining, interesting game with many possibilities. It's fun, it is fun, it's entertaining - if you can handle and his motivation is.
Thick point deduction is available for the annoying control and graphical errors that should not exist in such a developer (and my PC system)!
Who has no controller, I can immediately understand if he does not play more, because 100% tig captivating it is not for everyone. In addition, it is simply "shallow" and you miss the feeling for "I gamble enough entertainment for an hour long".
Ubisoft Please rectify - otherwise I advise definitely only to the console version!
