It takes place in the summer of 2003, where during a blackout in New York a disgusted employee unleashed a virus on the city.

Because of this, the city is now controlled by a computer controlled by a major corporation. The computer knows all your actions, thoughts, etc and links everything you do to the system. All data is interconnected.

Players can control an entire surveillance system in the game, and use the computer system as a weapon once hacked.

So damn, what did you guys thought about the new IP from Ubisoft? I was real intrigued by what I saw, and I like the art direction, it reminds me of Syndicate.

 

[Quasimod0]

If you are intrigued by the story/setting, absolutely. There is a LOT of game here.

Good to hear. Thanks!

Now that they have the basics down I am hoping that like Assassin's Creed the sequels actually do the IP Justice. (I love the game but it could be so much more)

That's exactly what I think will happen. Like the first AC title, which got mixed reviews, when the second game came out it was universally praised. I think WD is headed down that same path. This game has gotten fairly positive reviews and I think the next game will be off the charts good. And sales so far are really positive so I tbink Ubi has another successful series on it's hands

I finished that Open Your World mission today and boosted the hell out of my character. I had over 30 skill points saved up.

 

[Quasimod0]

Bought this today for 50 bucks. Can't wait to play. My expectations are tempered but I'm excited to have something new

 

[Naked Shia]

There is definitely hours and hours of gameplay. I tried the mp yesterday, and the teamwork where you have to get a file and decrypt it, is amazing. So much fun.

 

[Havok83]

Are there any missable trophies? Is there one associated with difficulty?

 

[Naked Shia]

There are some hidden trophies, but I didn't see one associated with difficulty. I think it's possible to get the platinum trophy.

 

[runawayboulder]

Anyone do one of the digital trips yet?

 

[Naked Shia]

I've done inferno and flower trip. Both are real fun.

 

[Broseph44]

Finally was able to grab my copy today. Won't get to play until late tonight after work though. But excited.

Tons of people are getting stuck on the initial load screen at about 90%, myself included. I'm glad to see no one here has been struck with this ridiculous game breaking bug. We still don't know the exact root cause but it's directly tied to uPlay and redeeming the rewards for the game.

This has been an issue since day one and all Ubisoft has done is said they are looking into it and put out a bogus workaround for the PS4. No major gaming news outlets have even reported on it either.

I was having so much fun playing the game but haven't been able to for the past two days. So, just a heads up, buying the rewards from uPlay could potentially stop you from playing the game. It's not happening to everyone, but why risk it?

wow, that sucks. I wasn't even aware of this issue till you mentioned it

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I also read about an online exploit. If someone hacks ur game, just kill urself and they'll be charged with killing you and lose. Now I haven't tried this myself but this is what the article claimed.

 

[the last son]

just picked this up hopefully it's good

 

[Havok83]

Is there a way to fast travel? The map is huge so getting to the various missions looks like it could get annoying

You can fast travel to your hideouts ... and by getting onto the L train.

You can fast travel to your hideouts. If you didn't know you can unlock more by hacking into the ctos towers.

Looks like EPN.TV's Watch Dog's live stream talk has started and it's a full house. and their not just talking they are playing the game the same way gameinformer and giant bomb would. hopefully others will invade their game . Vic admits that the driving is "arcadey"

 

[Stryderk]

Watch Dogs Review
Snynopsis: They hacked into watch Dog's. lot's of great idea's , Hacking is fun and there's a variety of missions, But it lacks heart ( by that the mean do care about you care about Aiden when the other characters you meet that help seem more interesting then him character wise?) further details in the video.


SHAUN's score 7.0 Steve's Score 8.0

I'm really really liking the game. I have my issues and it's deff not the next advancement in open world games, but overall I just love it. Ubi has deff hooked me on their new franchise.
