Watch Dogs

God bless Russia.

yep, the xbox 360 iso is all over torrent sites right now

Lol where they fuck did they get it from so early?

Stop judging it until it comes out, K3nny.

I don’t think it’s indefensible to say that the game, up to this point, had mostly been billed as an open world stealth game with an emphasis on hacking, and violence a viable but more morally ambiguous alternative. The more recent trailers emphasize shooting as much as, if not more than, the hacking. Granted, it’s better for an “action” trailer, but it feels like it’s violating the spirit of the 2012 E3 trailer.

Then there were the Digital Trips. They don’t fit the experience billed. They just feel tonally dissonant in that 2013 Tomb Raider Backtracking GPS Cache Quest kind of way. That has me worried. But I’m still buying it- I’ve had the Limited Edition on preorder since July and I’m not about to cancel it. Here’s hoping that I’m just being paranoid.

I’m not really riding the hype train for this game either, but perhaps for different reasons. The whole “press e to hack anything ever” mechanic just seems kinda silly and uncompelling. The mechanic would be much much more compelling if there were any actual depth to the hacking. As is it looks like it’s just designed to give a power trip, but a power trip with that little depth to it is just too unconvincing in my opinion to actually deliver.

Well, I just like that there’s no bloody hacking minigame to make shit happen.

Hacking minigames are almost universally terrible.

I enjoyed them in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. However they would feel out of place in a game where it is supposed to be done on the fly like in Watch Dogs.

Is watch_dogs gonna have pre-loading for steam?

If it does it hasn’t told me yet.

It’s leaked for PC too.

I watched the developer livestream today:

THERE FUCKING ARE HACKING MINIGAMES GODDAMN IT UBISOFT

So far reports are saying that it’s another poor PC port of an open world game from Ubisoft…

Poor as in “assassins creed poor” or really poor?

Somewhere in between those two…also if there is anyone else that is still expecting graphics of this quality

…don’t…it doesn’t matter how powerful your rig is.

Maybe there’s a hidden “ultraish ultra” graphics option, you just must rewrite all the values in the config file to a number sequence that is well hidden within the game.

Someone apparently already did this but it turned out that there is no (noticeable)difference between ultra and “ultraish ultra”(as you called it) graphics option…it’s clear that what was shown at E3 two years ago(smh)was simply a vertical slice…or what I like to call a game that never was.
All this being said it would be fair to say that the final product(from a pure graphical standpoint)still looks good,but the choice to go cross gen instead of full next(now current gen)held back this game’s true potential.I’m glad that Rocksteady had balls to do the opposite with Arkham Knight and if that gameplay trailer is anything to go by than we’re in for a treat.

Alright, graphics aside, how is the game conceptually? The gameplay and mechanics and all that?

Is it even out yet?
