In all essence, the guy just isn't happy with Watch Dogs, because he expected a different game. I can't really say that's the games fault. Then he goes on and complains about too much stuff to do. He's pissed off because you can play chess? I mean, really? It's not like the game is forcing it up on you or anything, it's just something you can do in the open world. Did anyone ever complain that you can play tennis in GTA? I don't get it.

He complains in every third sentence that you are able to shoot in the game. Oh man, that game gives a player options, what a load of ass. Would be better if you're just walking a straight line and always do exactly what the game wants you to, right?

I like it when I can make my own decisions which I experienced a lot in Watch Dogs. I can just shoot everyone if I like to, but I can also choose a more stealthy approach and in some missions even solve everything just with hacking, without any NPC noticing me at all. I really don't know why that should be a bad thing.

I'm still at the end of act 2, but I really enjoy the game. I also keep hearing about oh so many bugs, yet I didn't encounter a single one until now (PS4 version). The impression I get is that some people just want to hate the game for whatever reason and they dig out resons for that which aren't reasons at all. Like the driving, Kotaku keeps rambilng about how they always ram into some other car and stuff. Well, it's not the games fault when you're bad at playing it. I don't have any of these problems, after getting used to the driving physics, which took about 15 minutes, I get along just fine.

Don't get me wrong, I was myself skeptical about Watch Dogs, especially since I don't like Ubisoft games in general. I didn't like Assassin's Creed, wasn't any fun to me. But I still gave Watch Dogs a try and I'm pretty pleased. I even like it better than GTA 5 (no kidding) because it's more creative imo.

But whatever, if you want to hate the game, just do it, there's nothing I can do against that. But some of the reasons I hear are really ridiculous. Seriously.
