ShadowBoltDashie I have yet to get this game, however a few of my friends have posted screenshots on Steam where like cars go half way under the road, loading screens bug out a lot where it just looks clustered with a bunch of grey with whatever was behind it being cut off and all that. Don't know if that is because of them not having what is said to be required for Watch Dogs or if it's just glitches happening.


that's cause they played it on steam!

I bought the game on steam, i've played for over 3 hours and i honestly haven't had any lag and no problems running smoothly.
Specs: Intel core i7-3770k Nvidia GT 640 1gb GDDR5. I overclocked it. And 12 gigs DDR3 ram.
Running with a smooth 60 fps...

slapshot101 I think that it is good that they are trying to support computers that don't have the best processors out there, but sometimes if you want to play these quality games, you need to have a good computer. I don't understand why the game is having trouble on PC when it works well on consoles with way less power.


This far from a "quality game" the graphics are moderate at best and it runs so poorly on PC because it's a shitty console port with very little effort put into it. Even top end PCs are having performance issues when they can max out games with way better graphics.

DynamicBomb Why wasn't is tested better in the first place? I think i am going to buy an xbox one as a pc capable of running watch dogs is going to have to have an i7 etc.


Capable of running Watch Dogs? nonononono. You can run it with much less.

I honestly think the "technical director" is just talking out of his ****.


I think he means to run it at max with great results. I am sure a 4th gen i5 and a 760 will be able to do pretty damn good on Watch Dogs.
