Jus got Watch Dogs and started playing on PS4. Feels like this game may be very overated. As soon as I had to drive in the game I was pretty much disgusted by how horrible the cars are to control and not fun. Maybe I am just being overly critical over one aspect of the game but I lost interest after a couple of driving segments.

Its 'different' to GTA, doesn't make it wrong. You have to learn a different style perhaps? I've already put more time into this than GTA V and its shanky SP.

I decided to open up all the areas as fast as I could. Once you hack the CtOS towers you get access to different hideouts around the map and you can fast travel between them. You can't do it when on missions, but when just getting from place to place that has become my preferred mode of travel as it cuts out a lot of the wonky driving.

I guess a game either grabs you or it doesn't, you'll never enjoy it if you have to force yourself. For me it has sucked me in and I have just started watching Person of Interest and Watch Dogs is pretty much PoI the series lol as they took a lot of inspiration from it and that is fueling my interest too.
Sounds like it's not your thing, Infamous wasn't mine as it feels so empty.

All I've heard so far is that "it's really repetitive."

My recommendation will be to skip this game or just rent on gamefly or something. At least infamous 2 I enjoyed the powers and definitely was motivated to unlock new stuff and beat the game.
watchdogs is the same thing over and over with horrible horrible driving to get from point a to b.
reminds me of this note in assasins creed where the fictitious ceo explains they wont do an assasin creed game in modern sertimg because driving around would suck...maybe assasin creed team already played watch dogs and is warning us to stay away.

I'm having no problems with Ubi servers on PS4, played loads of Free Roam and invasions last night. Are you on PC with the problems Sethos? I am really not seeing any problems with the driving at though and thoroughly enjoying the game. Horses for courses i guess

The repetitive nature definitely comes from Ubisoft's lack of passion to make good games. They always make 5-10 crappy minigames as sidemissions and then just copy + paste them 15 times over. Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed and now Watch_Dogs suffer from this repetitive crap. Lots of Ubisoft games suffer from development problem because they just have studios all over the place that works on one game, lots of managers and leaders that don't communicate and ultimately games that suffer. Remember an AC3 developer once spoke out on a forum on how problematic that game was which kinda showed in the final product. Also saw this the other day;  I'm having no problems with Ubi servers on PS4, played loads of Free Roam and invasions last night. Are you on PC with the problems Sethos? I am really not seeing any problems with the driving at though and thoroughly enjoying the game. Horses for courses i guess But there's no point in say it works for you, because this is a sporadic problem that a lot of people are experiencing across all platforms. PC users have sort-of found a solution which isn't relevant for console users.

Maybe I like Ubi games (as I love AC games and FC) or maybe I just play a game and enjoy it instead of looking for every little problem. If it's not that, then this is wrong, if that's not wrong then this is wrong etc.... I only every know about these things from forums.

Wait, so because you haven't had the problem but there's threads on it on almost every major gaming forums or at least, a heap of people with those exact problems or other Uplay / connection related problems, we aren't allowed to mention it?

I had no idea about any connection problems! I'm not connected to the matrix. It's funny that GTA V has problems and people make videos saying how crazy and funny it is yet same happens to WD and people make videos saying it's the worse thing in the world. If it wasn't this to complain about it would be something else...
