Just going to ramble my thoughts in a messy format.
Watch Dogs wasnt a bad game. I bought it before release and the season pass so i put a bit of money into it. They could have done a better job on the hacking part imo but i suppose you got to make it simple for people. I thought the whole hacking into CTOS stations was very fun but there were not very many of them so that fun didnt last very long. The fake feeling of driving took a little while to get use to. Shooting and cover system was awesome. As for the story, i thought it was a good story and nothing to grand. I never once got the feeling like "OMG i cant believe i just did that!" like i got when i played GTA5. My final conclusion for Watch Dogs.. Its a fun game to play for many hours but gets boring fast. Its only worth playing for 1 playthrough cause once you beat the game you dont have any urge to go back to play it again. Compared to GTA5 its got a long way to go. I beat GTA5 a few times and actually have the urge to beat/play it again.
 
I normally dont like music but the song in watchdogs that made me have fun playing was Hey Micky(might not be the name since i dont know music names/artists).
 
Graphics:(7/10)(9/10 with E3 graphics) Was kind of a letdown since it didnt have the graphics that were showen at E3. But with mods(Only for awesome PC) i was able to make it look awesome.
 
Sounds:(10/10) Game sounded great in all areas and made me feel like i was in a living world. My fav would have to be the cars.
 
Gameplay:(7/10) Gameplay was good in some areas and bad in some. Most notable was the cover/shooting system that felt good to use. The main downfall to the gameplay was the fake driving system. It felt like i was driving a fricken tank. I was able to plow through anything like nothing to it. The whole driving system felt fake IMO.
 
Story:(8/10) The story was good but there was no awesome moments in the story to give me that feeling like i did something rewarding.
 
Final: (8/10) Watch Dogs is a fun game if you want to kill time. I would recommend picking up Watch Dogs for the story and fun shooting/cover system. The game isnt worth a 2nd playthrough, so you may want to wait till the game ends up $20 before picking up this title.
Worth: $20
 
2 Screenshots i took from the game when i was bored.
First one is a twilight reference.

@Polraudio : I agree with everything you said,I liked the hack system a wee bit more than you so I would give it a 8/10 in Gameplay.If they left it in those awesome E3 Graphics,it'll be the first Next-Gen graphical miracle.Why I though it's bad,it's beause of this French videogame community.Whenever Ubisoft tries to release a game,comments like : "Ubi de merde" in English : "Shitty Ubisoft" because of a simple graphic downgrade L0LW000T

I can understand the graphics downgrade for consoles but for PC it shouldn't have happened. The reason games look so good at E3 every year is because they are running on a PC with graphics turned up just to make the game look better so people will get all hyped up about the graphics. EDIT: it kind of has to be done that way cause to port it to consoles for E3 would be kind of a pain. I dont see why they just didnt lower the graphics to meet what consoles are capable of.

PC has always the best graphics.WHY ?! Us console players can't get super-totally amazingly awesome graphics ? Even the Next-Gen isn't capacble of handling those graphics

Console maker's logic

They're using marketing techniques like.

1080p@60FPS generation.

 

I see almost no upgrade to consoles anymore.
