Watch_Dogs - First Thoughts

Now that the dust has risen, and slightly settled on Watch_Dogs I am going to let you have some of my first thoughts on the game so far. 

So far I have only played through the first mission or so and I must admit, I am less than impressed. For a game that has had it's release date pushed back not once, but twice, it should be offering a lot more. 

Map

I am not enjoying the map at all. I think it is far to small for such an expansive game. 

Camera

I've heard some people complain about the driving camera angels. If I am honest, the camera angles as a whole are very shabby, especially when you attemp to run in any other direction than straight. 

Driving

The car handling is abismal to say the least. You have better chance of making your destination by foot. Disappointing. 

Voice acting

Small topic in the scheme of things but voice acting makes up 50% of the character, and in this game it's done poorly so far. Note Aiden's sister. 

Overall

Overall I was hoping for a little better, but it is early days yet. Let's just hope the storyline can bring it back from the brink...
