Forums - Gaming - Official Watch_Dogs Review Thread - 82 From 41 Review

Conegamer on 17 May 2014

 

 

So Watch Dogs Reviews will be dropping anytime now; so far things are looking decidely mixed...any more reviews post them here and I'll update the thread.

http://wccftech.com/review/watch-dogs-review-hacker-hoped/ - 7.2

"Watch Dogs is a great game that has a lot to do in the singleplayer but the multiplayer is painfully repetitive and not fun. The game stands on its own as a great singleplayer free roam but one that is outshined by Grand Theft Auto V."




 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Oh shit, this is bad news ... LOL

I was hoping that watch dogs was going to bring in the next gen experience but it looks like I'll have to get a PS4 sooner than that for Destiny to full fill me.

Conclusion

One huge caveat/punishment Ubisoft implemented is when you do turn off the Online Option, all your skills accumulated are reset to zero. You read that right. They all get reset to zero. All the online-specific skills reset to zero as punishment for not wanting to play online, something which is entirely disappointing. Either you keep getting invaded, or you get punished for wanting to play sometimes and not other times with the online mode.

Ouch.

Not that I would care since I will never turn on the online function.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I have a bad feeling about this...

Why do they remove points for the multiplayer that has little point for a game like this? Did they remove points for MK8 single player?

Yeah I noticed that. A very strange choice, not sure if I'd want to be online all the time (if I could be online all the time...)

Three threads in the same minutes haha. But this was first so that I post here. Not really surprised that it didn't get a very high score since the gameplay videos I saw the last year did never look like something special except for the hacking which looks kinda boring for more than a few hours.

But I still think it will end between 75-85 and closer to 85.

Does everyone remember what I said?  While we actually don't know at this time the quality of t he title personally, I made the comment that the game, like every other title in this genre before it, is going to be compared to the latest GTA release and regardless of how good the quality of  the title is in comparison, will be bashed for not being GTA.
