I haven't played Watch Dogs, but I can feel you on the cover system complaint. Watch Dogs by all accounts is more of a GTA clone than something resembling Ubisoft's other titles, so there's that to consider.

But damn, I hate clunky cover-based 3rd person shooter gameplay. Fucking Gears of War ruined everything. It wasn't even that good back then, but now every damn 3rd person game with shooting has to have cover that you snap on to.

I've recently been playing Sniper Elite v2 which does the same damn thing. Freaking 3rd person cover-based shooting. A rather fucking odd design choice to make a sniper game in 3rd person too, if you let that sink in for a minute.
