You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
So I finally got around to watching that 15 minute gameplay trailer...

This looks like Person of Interest The Game.

Of course it also looks like another sandbox game with a single gimmick and a bunch of repetitive gameplay with a half-assed plot. The last Saints Row was pretty fun but I didn't play that all the way through, so I don't know if I could stick with this if it is just as repetitive.

I'm liking how when your phone scans people and displays their info all the old-looking people are in their 20's and all the young looking people are in their 30-late 40's.

I'm watching a stream right now and I can't really put my finger on the reason, but it feels a little lifeless. Where GTA V's world feels like it's tangible and real, this feels a little dull.

So I started up Uplay to see if I could preload despite having the Steam copy, and while I couldnt, I was kind of surprised when I saw the pre-order ad.



I mean I know they hadnt outright said the WiiU version was cancelled but still despite the lack of news I thought everyone was assuming,
Guess thats good news for that port in any case.

They just looked like your standard mini-game stuff that every one of these games has a few different modes of. I don't have high expectations because the last triple A title, Thief burned me pretty hard but here's to hoping this is good!

Watching around at stuff and the game does look to be 'Typical Ubisoft Sandbox game BUT WITH NEW GIMMICK'?

I was thinking of cancelling my pre-order, but AssCreed4 was a pretty fun game, so maybe I should give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt and this'll be a pretty fun LSD-Hacking and 'Social Engineering' simulator.

I don't see the problem with standard sandbox game if that standard game is fun. This game looks fun if not really original I don't see the problem here.

It's also a really hollow complaint because no poo poo the Assassin's Creed games play similarly to each other.

It's not like they have a bunch of game IPs that are all like that. There's just one series with a lot of games.

But with 'New gimmick' every time! Although gimmick may or may not actually be fun. Pirate gimmick was really fun, though.

Got my hands on my review copy, for review purposes, finally.

There's more interesting uses of the gimmicks than I initially estimated. One collectible requires you to check out lots of different security camera angles looking for a hard-to-find QR code. Some guards have grenades on their person you can hack to explode.

And the art of being the perfect vigilante is pretty tricky. Gotta let the actual crime take place, but swoop in and save the person being attacked. With a melee takedown, for maximum points and reputation.

I've only tried one digital trip but it completely changed Chicago. It was the "Alone" one. Very stealth-based. You lose most of your tricks but gain access to EMP weapons to kill robots wandering the street--their vision cones are actually radiation emitters and they kill you by staring at you if they get too close. Hidden weapons here and there on the map. It's BIG.

EDIT: IT also looks like there's no bonus for ghosting a mission, but you do get a pretty big XP bonus for melee takedowns, and those are easier in an environment where nobody's been alerted yet.

Eh, a decent plot can make or break a lot of games.
Fortunately, that's usually not a problem for most open world games.

Way worse than AC4.

Edit: It hitches pretty hard when it loads new bits of the city while you're driving around. Does this regardless of graphics settings.

I have a pretty good system.
