[QUOTE="D";113182264]Something tells me this game won't be as bad as people making it out to be.
Relax fellas, lets just wait until we have it in ours hands/review embargos are lifted. The graphics aren't THAT bad, or bad at all. I think we are being a little spoiled due to the "next-which-is-now-current-gen" mentality that everything needs to be worlds better than the last console....we forget the PS4/XBONE ain't even a year old yet, plus companies have a different production style than others. I for one am cautiously optimistic and pretty excited for Watch_Dogs...its an interesting concept, its packed full of interesting content, seems to have a robust multiplayer ANNND just the main story ITSELF is 40+ hours long. If that isn't enough to warrant spending $60 bucks then I dunno what is.
Maybe its the old-school gamer in me speaking, but I come from the days of Atari/Colecovision and all that. Graphics are important to me, yes, but after all...a video game at its core is something you PLAY, much more than what you look at and be amazed by. There's plenty of games out there that are memorable or downright legendary and their graphics either don't stand the test of time (its FFVII for me, great game still but the graphics haven't aged well for me) or weren't up it its "generational standard."
Wait til Tuesday bros. For the ones that have it already, enjoy that shit. Everybody entitled to they opinion.[/QUOTE]
Agreed with everything you said here, except one. FFVII is still just as beautiful to me today as it was back then. I possess an ability to easily jump back in time graphically, and not miss the visual advancements we've made. That said, I think watch_dogs looks quite a bit better graphically than it is getting credit for. It has a very clean look to its overall graphical presentation, and as a result of that clean look, people are misconstruing that as the game somehow being ugly. Are there unflattering looking parts of this game based on available media? Yes, but I don't think that hurts the game nearly as much as some are saying.
I'm also excited by the concept of this game.
