I'm playing on PC, I can't recall what the setting is exactly called but its the one recommend for 2GB. I run a 760 GTX with a 4.4Ghz FX-8320. Game looks great but I usually am not a hard grader on graphics.
I was a fan of Assassins Creed II a lot, this game is fun but took/takes a bit to get a hang of the gameplay especially the driving and dodging the police/radar systems.

Pretty good video showing E3 2012 and Ultra PC settings, same gameplay. Inside the club the difference is startling.
Have to watch in 1080p
Having a lot of fun with the game. There's one mission where I'm surrounded, hiding behind something. While they try to find you, you can either shoot your way out or use the environment. I managed to clear all the enemies using the cameras and wall boxes and triggering what they're carrying without moving. I got lucky taking multiple enemies out with explosions but stuff like this happens often and its awesome to play.
While GTA has all the great touches, radio stations and physics. The gameplay is shoot that dot on your map over and over.

That's just graphics though - what about all of the interaction and breadth involved in WD - swings and roundabouts. I'm having a lot of fun just mooching about, driving, taking on side missions, stopping criminals, doing the Fixer missions and I haven't even started on the mini-games yet, let alone the storyline...

It looks like they should've fine tuned the physics engine more than they did the gameplay in that delay.

One of the first things I did was try to hitch a ride around town on the back of a truck, only for it stop everytime I got on.
One omission I don't see any complaints over is multiple views in third person mode. I used these a lot in GTA. Driving in Watch Dogs has multiple views though.

I can throw some screenshots from PS4 in from the same locations for comparison. Only have to make them so if you could share some of the locations I can get to work later today.
Played for 4 or 5 hours today without doing any missions. Was on a money hunt and some locations people really have a lot to steal from. Bought me some guns and a nice outfit.
What about buying cars though? I haven't bought one but the ones I use and park in front of the safe house keep disappearing.

Carlos, last screens were near this train station point in the diamond. Area called Quincy.
Not bought any cars. I just take parked cars when needed.

Thanks 👍 Will do some walking around and see if I can find the same spots

Not those locations, but these are PS4 screenshots, just randomly taken for the most. That Share button isn't really easy to get to in the heat of the moment.
I like the continuity going on. That car wreck I caused at the junction resulted in a fire engine passing me a few minutes later, heading in that direction. I really should have followed to see what it did.

That is stunning on the PC. Best rain effects I have seen in a sandbox game. TDU2 did a great job too but this is very impressive.

While Spider Tank is amazing, I have to say that I prefer Alone. I loved just walking about in the daytime parts of The Loop. It's an amazing, surreal experience seeing a city usually filled with people completely empty. It reminds me of The Last of Us.

I have a couple questions I'd like to ask before I decide if I should purchase this game, hope you guys don't mind.
1. How is the sandbox part of the game? One of the reasons I love GTA is because there's tons of stuff to do outside the storyline, is it the same here or do you quickly run out of things to do?
2. How is the RPG aspect of the game? Can you do some of the stuff from GTA like ride cabs or buses, get in trouble with the police, fight people/gangs on the street, day/night transitions, etc?
3. How long is the storyline, and what happens when you complete it? Can you continue playing or is it game over like in LA Noire?
4. What does online mode consist of?
Sorry if these questions seem a bit stupid, I know I can find most of this stuff online but I'm at work now and would like to pick up a copy of the game on my way home. Thanks.

Wow, I didn't know what I was expecting. Oh wait, I did. But of course, those graphics aren't plausible with next-gen hardware anyway. So much for next-gen, huh. Also in that video, I'm pretty sure a PC could handle graphics like the E3 2012 trailer, but what happened there?

1. There are an almost overwhelming number of side activities. Digital Trips, fixer contracts, crime investigation, etc.
2. You can't ride buses or cabs but you ride the EL Train, or above ground subway. You can get in trouble with the police but you can't just punch a random citizen. There are gang hide outs but I'm not sure if you can redo them. And there is day night transition as well as variable weather changes.
3. The game continues when you are done, there may be more side activities left for you once you finish.
4. Online mode isn't the game's strongest area, the only ones I found fun are decription, races, and fixer contracts (when you invade another player's game). Here is a description of all the modes:
