I am mostly good to go…mostly.
Hey cool I’m just a bit under recommended specs.
Recommended… i7?
hysterical laughter
REALLY, UBI?
My old i5-2500K should then be able to run it on roughly 75% settings on scale minimum-maximum. That’s gotta be at least High. That is what? Five years old? Let’s face it, a comparable Sandy Bridge i7 comes close enough to that.
Fucking overexaggerating again.
I’ve got the vast majority on the recommendation. The only thing I don’t have on the recommendation, and that is i7 3770 which my one I currently have is i7 2600K.
It’ll be interesting to see if the game actually does anything gameplay/AI/sound-wise that would require so much CPU power
I’m short on processor too. But I’m closer with a 3570 
Thiaf recommended an i7 as well and it runs really well on my i5. MGR also recommended an i7.
I’m sure it will run 60FPS 720P all high on my laptop. (i7 turbo boost 2.8ghz and a Radeon HD5650 OC@700Mhz) at least with AA and SSAO disabled.
I mean, even though it’s built by HP, after I changed the thermal paste I hit 300FPS stable in GTA 4 (with enbseries ultra realism textures and gta 5 lighting mod)
Soo…no jump button for this game,it will be contextual.
Probably less irritating in a game like Watch_Dogs than it would be in that other recent game with context-only jumping…
I preordered it last night through Steam.
It’s waaaay too sketchy for me to go preorder it right now. The developers have said (or at least extremely heavily hinted) that the PC version will look as good as the old 2012 demos, but I just don’t trust them after Far Cry 3, so I’m going to be waiting and probably be getting my hands on it using… alternative means, to determine whether it’s worth the money.
I’ve had a preorder for the LE on PC since last year. It’s a promising IP and I really hope Ubisoft Montreal can knock it out of the park. They have never made a truly bad game (at least as far as the games of theirs I’ve played), so I still have high hopes. Let’s just hope it’s better optimized than Black Flag.
why on earth would anyone preorder a download months and months in advance its not like theyare gonna sell out on release you are basically kickstarting ubisoft
I don’t want to have to think about it.
Well, at least Watch Dogs isn’t going the route of “The Crew” and putting in fucking microtransactions.
…Knock on wood. rap rap
I would even say some of the Far Cry 3 graphics look better in the released game than what was shown at E3, save the vegetation.
