If you're having problems you're either holding the phone wrong or you have tiny girl hands.

This is absolutely the most divisive PC gaming purchase I've considered in months. I'm hovering on whether or not my lowered expectations are worth $60.

Nobody pays full price for pc games.

Nvidia keys will probably be $20-$30. Otherwise heres 25% off

Yeah, I got the game for 30 bucks last week on ebay, do that instead of paying 60 bucks.

Well I caved it and bought it without reviews and with some questions about it but whatever.

I can always just stiff Ubi in the future if this game is terrible.

Hoping GMG keys are coming out in next few minutes so I can least start downloading tonight.

For what it's worth it looks like PSN is updating the store. You cant even buy Watch Dogs now. So it should be up any moment now.

Consistently crashing to desktop each time I click new game. Oh well, guess I'll go to bed and try again in the morning.

edit: works when I put it into borderless and changed the resolution until it was fullscreen.

It's loving hilarious, but kind of sad, because I pre-ordered Arkham Knight from them as well, and this is going to happen again when it comes out.

I'm on PS4, kept backing out and going back into the Watch Dogs page over and over again, and just a minute ago it actually popped up with the Download button available where the word "Purchased" was before. Just hit that, it popped up an error message but started anyway.

Yep. All options kind of suck at "launch night" digital releases though. Even if you pre-load on Steam or something you'll get stuck verifying some poo poo for 30 minutes when it comes out. Nobody's yet solved internet traffic crunch really well.

When you do the nvidia thing you get a code that you use to purchase the game on uplay for $0.00. You never get a uplay activation code. The game should just show up on uplay.

Downloading on PSN for PS4. Had 4 files. Update file / Exclusive Missions / R-33B Gun / And Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs is saying 3492mb. That... doesnt seem right.

The first thing it does is download just what you need to get going with the game, the rest is downloaded as you play.

They were saying earlier that a large chunk of the PC download size was language files. So it's not impossible.

Ever since they worked on that project together, her life turned around and became more exciting.
Picking up the game tomorrow after work, I wasn't too excited for the game until I saw the cool as robot spider thing in Giant Bomb's preview a month or so back, I'll buy any game with cool as giant spiders.

6 files for the gold edition + monster gun. Hope it leaves some of the 92 gigs I have left on my hard drive.

Of the PC version's 22 gigs, 9 of those gigs are taken up by 6 different languages, 1.5 gigs each. It uses up 7.5 gigs for language assets you won't use unless you like juggling languages. :ughh:
Steam handles this correctly for Watch Dogs (except for DLC) -- it only downloads the assets for your chosen language, thankfully. Game comes out to be about 13GB instead.

Yeah it wasn't showing up either, tried restarting Uplay to fix it didn't work. Deleted the "review" copy .exe and it sprang into existence.

It just showed up in my games list, but still needs activation

PSN still won't let me download and maybe its based on region? It's 9:27pm here, but that's never been the case for U.S. releases I think. If a game releases midnight east coast then it releases everywhere at the same time for the U.S., so 9pm for west coast users.
