Watch Dogs - Ubisoft's Third Person Shooter

UI messages popping up in the middle of the screen every 5 seconds, everything highlighted. Seeing enemies through walls, No immersion. Yep, this is Ubisoft alright!

Even the start of the video looks like the animus!
 
Ubisoft do seem obsessed with making all of their games exactly the same style and gameplay wise. Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed IV - 2 games which were very similar in style yet shouldn't have been given the different genres.

They just cannot let go of all the popping up messages, highlighted enemies, tedious crafting and other stuff. Also, their optimisations leave a lot to be desired - ACIV had unacceptable performance on a high end system like mine.
 
"So this is not Deus Ex?"
"Definitely not"

No stealth, only GTA style run and gun (and hack). Really cool idea, but missed by a mile. 1984 like universe for the older more discerning audience would have been really fresh and interesting, but this is just generic pap. I think the core idea is still too complex for the lowest common denominator, but the core gameplay is too simple for everybody else. Looks like fail :(
