First 10 minutes of the game, Spoilers obviously. looks interesting enough.

Eh, not enough time for anything interesting to happen. Just the opening sequence and some assassin's creed style story mission bullshit. Seems tolerable enough, but I'm here primarily for driving and hacking and shooting. Maybe I'm the odd man out, but I'm not expecting anything from the story.

I'm in the same boat. If anyone expects a Ubisoft open world story to be anything other than awful they deserve disappointment.

I really hope this game doesn't have "first installment" syndrome like Assassins Creed 1. Where the game play has a couple cool ideas repeated ad naseum, but I guess even if it does I would prefer it being repetitive GTA style game play as opposed to repetitive Assassin Creed game play which never really clicked with me at all.

Scanned him, and found some information that he was looking for a job in the porn industry. Then they could call him to distract him.

Think it said something like "We need you and your schlong over here right now."

All the little hack details about people are really interesting. Although after hours of play it seems like it could get annoying, so I hope you can toggle it on/off.

The driving, boats, and pedestrian collisions all look really good, just like GTA.

I really like that the intention of the mission was to chase a dude in a car and slowly download the data, but when the player disabled the guy's car and killed him, he was able to just instantly hack the phone and complete the mission.

Ah sweet. I don't have the audio on right now.

First person driving looks really nice, I appreciate that feature. The speedo and dash don't work but that's acceptable.
There's no rear view mirror, though, which sucks. First person driving really needs a mirror, Forza proved that.

Hahaha he just loaded up "Spider Tank" VR drugs and now he's (hallucinating?) a giant robot spider, awesome :allears: And it can walk on walls like a Tachikoma! This game is actually more Saint's Row than I thought.

FYI: Remember this golden gem of a deal to get a copy of Watchdogs for essentially free, since some of the games on this list are ridiculously high value for trade in.

Triple trade in at Target to get a Target Gift card, which obviously can be applied to Watch Dogs. Take the valu e of the game you are looking up, multiply it by three and that's the amount you will get on trade in the form of an instant gift card.

I got $90 bucks for three gamecube games. Mario Sunshine, Zelda TP, and SSBM. You can do three at a time. Tons of games from all sorts of platforms. I am also going to trade in Killzone 3 and NBA 2k4 14 for my PS4 and nab another 98 bucks. Includes tons of games from Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS2, PS3, PS4, DS, 3DS, Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U.

Thanks for this, I'm going to Target tonight. So if my game is worth $15, I'll get $45 in store? I never really got into BF4 so this would be a good time to dump it.

Yeah I'm sold now too. Surprisingly, it looks like they actually out-did rockstar. The world is super detailed and pretty big, comparable to GTA4. And most everything looks pretty solid. And GTA5 never came out on pc...

I'm expecting a bunch of assassin's creed bullshit story mission where you have to follow a guy but not too close (actually GTA did that poo poo too) but whatever, the base game of running around and hacking people's phones seems awesome enough.

Whoever came up with the idea for digital trips deserves a medal. What a brilliant way to work in all the wacky sandbox minigames without messing with the game world. Suddenly your hacking action game has a giant spider tank and running from zombies and detecting replicant cyborgs and it all makes total sense in the gameworld.

I agree, it's a brilliant way for us to have our cake and eat it too. I wonder if any of it was inspired by the entirely hallucinatory boss fight against a giant demon in Far Cry 3.

This looks like something out of Saints Row The Third/IV. And I love it.

Even the voice acting sounds like chatter you'd hear from a minigame from SR. My only beef is that he doesn't turn into a ridiculous ragdoll when he hits the ground.

So i think since our target doesnt have the thing for the trade in deal, im gonna have to take advantage of Gamestop's trade in offer ( 30% more value for trade ins towards Watch Dogs and other games ).

I have a few games i dont feel i need any longer ( Ac4, Knack, Killzone ) and i have a burning need for digital justice now.
