Some guy made a throwaway comment about choosing PC, and two people immediately pop up with sarcastic replies. Yeah, seems I'm not up to date with the jokes.

So glad I went pc.

But I'm bummed the app got tablets does not work on PC version.

I think the tablet thing will be available for PC too. It's just that they had to get the message across that "you can use a tablet to race against non-tablet users" and they used "console" as a shorthand for it.

This game seems fun, though I've admittedly not been following that close. The mechanics look cool, and the trips alternate modes sound creative as hell, I hope they come up with a bunch more.

I'm on 360, what's the consensus on buying this? Development seems to have had issues, is it a wait for patch 1.1 kind of deal?

Infinitely many points, but zero length.
I would be very surprised if the tablet companion app didn't come out for the PC, since the companion app for AC4 did.

I'm so torn on if Watch_ Dogs could be as fun as it looks or not.

I guess it'll depend on how nonlinear missions actually are compared to say, GTA.

I only see terrible things with the hacker chick though.

I would think so - but since this trailer kept saying "for the console" (which is not mentioned specifically anywhere else I found it odd.

Most of those are Europe because they have like 13 failing game retailers who all still need their own special edition.

In North America there's only 3 kinds: Regular, Limited, and Gold. Gold is simply the regular plus the Season Pass on the PSN, without a discount.

Game is $70 in Canada, Gold edition is $80, DLC is $20... that's 50% off DLC, no?

Gold edition is $90 in Canada, my bad.

I spent $90 on a new franchise. Go me.

All these editions of the game confuse the hell out of me.

In terms of how much content is available to me at launch, is there any difference between the PSN Gold edition download and buying a PS4 disc plus the season pass?

If it's anything like the Pre order bonuses for AC4 what you get in game quickly replaces any "exclusive" digital items anyway.

I got the season pass because T-Bone is the man and he doesn't listen when people tell him to get a haircut. This is also why he is the man.

Yeah, digital retailer exclusives aren't really required. Eventually you remove them because you never choose anything but and the regular early equips never see any use.

Yes, but not at launch I believe.

Ubisoft has always given the preorder DLC away with the Season Pass, but not immediately. Not too long after though, maybe 2-3 weeks.

I live in Korea, and the PC Room (net cafe) owners just have recently upgraded all of their computers to GTX 660s and those came with the Watch Dogs coupons.

Since there are literally thousands of coupons out, the PC room owners are selling them for anywhere between 15,000~20,000KRW each.
