Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
Nah, Watch Dogs 2 is good, but probably not good enough to put up with that poo poo.

Keep in mind folks that Watch _ Dogs 2 Probably sucks just as much as every other godless Ubisoft game and you're better off not debasing yourself for or wasting any of your time on this putrid company's promotional aspirations.

I'm mostly watching to see how bad the train wreck is. I noticed they had a chat sidebar before the event started and it is conspicuously gone now, I wonder why :thunk:

I've heard from people i actually trust when it comes to game opinions that watchdogs 2 is actually a good game so i'm quite keen to own a copy especially if it's free.

But seriously how in 2020 do you not realise that you need to have some beefy servers if you're going to have a promotion of this magnitude? GTA V being free crashed the epic store and that was a game that was available for days and days, this is a promotion that asks users to all log in in a 2 hour window.

EAT SHIT

update - there's now a little gamepad panel next to the reward one and it has the clicky "claim your watch dogs" button

the clicky looks like it keeps failing ;)

e- so it looks like
- watch our show for a mere 1 minute to get game!
- you don't automatically get game added to your account, you have to claim it
- the claim panel is on the video page
- you can't claim it
- also now you're logged out
- you can't log back in
- why not watch our video while u wait??

well played, Mr Ubisoft. Very well played

Realizing it is one thing, the real challenge is convincing the people who write the checks to pay for massive server overhauls that will only be relevant during a two hour marketing stunt

If your twitch is connected to uplay, you can just watch their twitch stream and you'll get the game tomorrow.

I get that, but then you either adjust the promotion or you issue a statement prior saying that people might experience log in difficulties during the event etc but everyone will get a chance to claim the game, decent PR is free.

Who could have foreseen this turn of events, wow, big surprise that their servers couldn't handle the logins. Surely this kind of thing has never happened before.

Thanks for the link, I'll try it later but it's giving me this:

"Due to high demand, this page is temporarily unavailable. Please come back later to claim your free copy of the game."

But I have higher hopes that the webpage will work later, who knows how their weird stream page will work when it's not playing something.

you need to go there and log in with the uplay account to claim the Watch Dogs 2 copy.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Thanks, this link seems to have worked.

At this point they might as well just make it actually free on the shop for a week.

Not that its probably worth playing with legion around the corner, which looks far more interesting.

eh, watch_dogs 2 is one of the the best games in its genre so it's still very much worth playing

also I have my doubts about legion's gimmick adding enough to the game, but I haven't seen a lot of it since its premiere
