Oh no oh god it's all true!

Mr. Stingly posted:

Reviewers are audibly straining to maintain street cred while at the same time sucking Ubi's wang as required by the industry. It's really not good when the writer is like "Maybe they're being ironic and this is meant as a satire of the typical microwaved horseshit game writers have been plugging for the last 12 years???? At least that's how I played it????"

You gotta get paid, I get that but maybe just go ahead and lie to me instead because with these half in/half out writeups I can't tell if the writer is just a moron or trying to blink his eyes in morse code to let us know they tortured him and none of what he's saying is true and the game is actually doomed to be a dissapointment.

Yeah, here's them showing off that exact multiplayer system from the point of view of both the hacker and hackee, along with the smartphone integration multiplayer AND the competitive combat one.

Wow, that preview didn't pull any punches. Ubisoft probably ain't to happy about that.

At least it sounds like the largest problems are with the story and the game is at its best when you just go around ignoring story missions.

Hopefully that MP integration is actually as smooth as they make it out to be. GTA:O is a shitfest when it comes to that in the form of constant heavy long loading screens.
Joining a session with friends, loading screen, Oops the session is full, loading screen back into a different session, whoops connection dropped, loading you back into the SP, another loading screen to load back into the MP then possibly another loading screen to get to play with your friends.

Yeah, I think I might just go for the 360 version. I can probably play it on minimum settings but without the money to upgrade at the moment (which I actually had before it was delayed) I don't want to risk it.

I'm a little disappointed that EVERYONE IS ADRIAN BUT ISN'T :supaburn: for MP content but I can see why you don't get to pick. But in the end Watch Dogs and GTAV/GTA:O have aimed to do two different things in different ways.

Cock It!
My only real fear for this game is that its just rear end Creed modern. If the story is ok then im fine with the fact you can free roam and stuff. Lack of variety in missons is a problem for any open world game as they can only really be of the go here steal/kill that and escape.

Would be nice if the hacking had levels of complexity but so far its looking good and will probably buy it day one as there is not much else out.

Did you seriously think that a Ubisoft game wasn't going to need to use Uplay? How else are they going to get all that delicious customer data otherwise, you gonna fill out a survey or something? Uplay is about on the same level as Steam honestly. I don't begrudge them their digital distro service, I just wish they would integrate it better into the game, like make it an option from the main menu or something. At least it's not Origin, right?
PS:I love the fact that the devs included all the loving crazy rear end poo poo in the form of "digital drugs" so they could cut loose and add stupid aweseome poo poo like the Spider Tank. And yes, it has it's own skills you level up.

Yeah, I think they handled that perfectly, since on the one hand, GIANT loving SPIDER ROBOTS are awesome and it always helps to have some goofy poo poo in your sandbox, but on the other hand, putting GIANT loving SPIDER ROBOTS into the game proper would've sent the whole game's plot right over the shark.

I remember reading that AC4 was to be the last game to require Uplay. :confused:

I think the only recent Uplay-less game has been South Park, and that's mostly because it was already well underway when it got bought by Ubisoft.

On the one hand, crappy DRM. On the other hand, they usually at least offer some decent unlockables on there, so maybe I can find a skin that looks Aiden not look like a goon. Really hoping there's a way to get that Darkman outfit on PS4 without having to wait months for them to release a DLC pack.

I hope the spidertank stuff garners a lot of attention and it leads to Ubisoft using the concepts in this game to make a Ghost in the Shell open world game. I'd buy the hell out of that game. When I first saw the hacking stuff I immediately thought of that franchise.
