No need for reviews, this is the type of gameplay i LOVE

Wait so it's like open world Splinter Cell? Well shit, why didn't you say so earlier? That's awesome!

 

[HerpDerpstreit]

Comparisons to Blacklist are comforting. Only thing about BL for me was I could never get online to work. (I blame my ATT gateway)

Looking forward to reviews. in 2 minutes

 

[SRTtoZ]

1 MINUTE!!!

 

[TheCloser]

Thats the user's fault, though.

Points are a decent system of applying a weighted average of the positives vs negatives of the game. I would hate for them to go just because some people are too damn impatient to actually read the review.

I understand where you're coming from but I feel like the numbers tarnish the review. I'm not going to try to speak for everyone but in my case, when I read a review and see its score, I just accept the given value. I don't really question the score and i subconsciously associate the score with the game. I might use it as a filter to determine which games I play.

 

[Liberty4all]

I am more impressed with that side mission than anything else I've seen from the game.

I've only played abit, but you cam definitely play the game stealthy if you want.

I'm enjoying the game so far. It feels very different from GTA (to me). I can't put my finger on it but I'm enjoying this alot.

1 MINUTE!!!

Isnt official embargo 12:01? so 2 minutes?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

WOW that sounds even better than SC Blacklist!!! Using only gadgets in a non-lethal 'ghost' style!!

Its possible. You have to get creative with the AI routing by using distracting to get a line of sight to the hack point. Good stuff.

CraveOnline: 9.0/10

Watch Dogs is an example of how a big publisher can score big in the new generation by taking some risk. As far as I'm concerned, Ubisoft's risk has paid off handsomely with a new franchise that I can honestly call one of my favorites.

Looks like it's gonna finish in the low 80's, high 70's

 

[BUNTING1243]

Giant Bomb is down of course.


8.0 Polygon

 

[Chitown B]

4/5 on Joystiq. Pretty much what I figured.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

GI - 8.5

At the end of the day, Watch Dog's story works as a basic revenge tale, and the final few missions provide some gravity to the characters. Ultimately, however, the main draw of any open-world game is the gameplay, and while not perfect, Watch Dog's hacking abilities add an engaging and unique twist to the third-person action. Ubisoft has another deserved hit on its hands, and I look forward to seeing where the new series goes next.

Gamespot 8/10
http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/watch-dogs-review/1900-6415770/


The Good
Hacking gives car chases and combat encounters an additional element of freedom
Fantastic online modes provide rip-roaring fun
Digital trips are highly entertaining, the spider-bot in particular
Loaded with varied things to do, each of which is beautifully executed
Some clever mission design keeps you looking forward to the next story event


The Bad
Inconsistent tone, inconsistent lead character
Successful online invasions are boring
Neither money nor reputation are all that valuable

 

[TheXfactor]

looks like a lot of 8's and 7's
