Ouch got that email today. They dropped seamless from the release. Jezuz that was a good deal of my fun despite the performance stuff. Can't remember the last time they just dropped something to rework it. Luckily the other MP stuff works.

Haven't read these reviews yet as I don't want to spoil anything but has there been any mention of length?

Not sure if anyone answered you yet but I read it's 15-20 hours for the story.

The screen tear is real on OG PS4..great game tho

Wonder how long it will take to patch the seamless mode back in. Should get some dlc for advertising on the box and not delivering.

Strange to see IGN as the outlier

Not sure. I am pretty sure its their #1 priority so that folks get it while the playing population is high.

Ars Technica's review: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/11/watch-dogs-2-will-hack-your-open-world-gaming-expectations/

The series returns in this week's Watch Dogs 2, a game that now lets players fight more than crime. This go-'round, they fight the entire system, man. What's more, they do so with more powers, more choices, and a much better mix of plot, dialogue, and likable characters.

It's not a perfect experience by any stretch. Technical hiccups and pacing issues are glaring enough to leave Grand Theft Auto V's open-world crown unmoved—but just barely. Watch Dogs 2 builds upon a pretty good foundation from the last game with most of the trappings you'll want from a zillions-of-hours open-world quest.

GTA V has a bad story, extremely scripted missions, and terrible on-foot movement and shooting mechanics but still managed to get 9/10 scores across the map. These open-world games are a sum of their parts and a few bad mechanics aren't enough to bring them down.

Oh you just reminded me why I hate sandbox games. Nothing stands out in these games.

Ah shit... was gonna get this for Christmas. Might need to dive in now cause these impressions are getting me hyped.

I haven't played WD2 and I don't doubt that GTAV is the better game overall but it's weird that they mention pacing issues in that comparison. The pacing in GTAV is fucked.

Gamekult (my personal reference) gave it a 8/10.

6.5 to 8.5? I guess the ubisoft check came in.
