Watch_dogs

So this is out on Tuesday all current systems apart from the Wii U.

Anyone excited or lost interest like me.

Also this game has a review embargo in till launch, I've seen a review from someone who allegedly got the game from gamestop and they gave it a 7.2 or 7.8 something like that.

But slightly more solid thoughts on it, my local indie gameshop insane which Drunka knows of, has had there copies in. One of the people that work's in there took there copy home when it came in, his thoughts in a word Muh.

I'm still pretty excited for it. It may not be shaping up to be the GotY we were all hoping for but I think it should be a solid bit of fun at least.

It might be a game that's been overhyped, so it seems a bit muh.

I think it's been a victim of too much hype. It was unlikely it was going to live up to the expectations of the gaming public. As Andy said, I reckon it'll still be a solid bit of fun.

At the moment I'm thinking meh to it

I'll wait until it hits Wii u, as I'm in no rush to pick it up. It definitely seems like a victim of its own hubris.

It's not been helped by all the community negativity- everyone clamouring to moan about how Ubi have downgraded the graphics as part of a great anti-consumer conspiracy of making the reveal trailer look too good and not, owing to the unfinished state of the title at that point, biting off more than they can chew graphically and having to tone it down to keep performance up has left a nasty taste in my mouth.

The delay to the Wii U version hasn't helped, though.

A few people at work have bought this, so will let me know what's it's like.

But on Meta The PS4 ver is 81, ONE is 78, PC is 81 with neither of the last gen consoles having a review.

The User-scores aren't so kind I think the 360 ver has a score of 3.7 but most of these a troll reviews as COD every year has these sort of scores or fanboys posting on a exclusive for another system.

Never trust user scores until a good while after release - a lot of it is people voting "0" based on negative publicity.

Re: beemoh's point, I'd much rather have an okay looking game that ran well rather than a gorgeous game that runs like flowing treacle. Although, based on early PC port noise, seems like Ubi failed on the former point anyway.

I had an underwhelming and frustrating first day on the PS4 version of this, hopefully it will start to click with me tomorrow.

To continue on the PC version, I'm hearing people couldn't even play it yesterday due to UPlay I think being down.

I'm on a gaming group on Facebook and there's loads of copies of this on the PS4, maybe there thinking the same as you Dusty. Seen someone selling it for £35 all ready. I'm hoping this will continue as I do want to try it but for about £20.

I'll probably wait till it drops to between £10 and £20 - a shame, considering how hyped I was for this.   

After seeing a couple of reviews I'm thinking about getting the PS4 version, or maybe waiting like everyone else for the Wii U version if and when it comes

After reading a few reviews of this it seems like a game I'll enjoy, shame public reaction doesn't seem to be the same though but I'll still happily wait on that wii U version.

I'm not sure how true but I'm hearing rumours that the U version has been cancelled.

Is anyone actually bothered if it is.

Yes, because it has the potential to be really unique compared to the versions that are currently out. (also who are these mystery sources?)

My source did go to E3 press event's that all I really know but my sources normal good like when I said Nintendo will be showing a remake soon.

I highly doubt this. When Yves Guillemot recently spoke to the press in a very honest way about how their Wii U titles were received (refreshing given most publishers tend to give no-meaning PR talk whenever they talk about Wii U), he said Watch_Dogs on Wii U will be the last game of its type that they'll release on the platform.

On an unrelated note, I'm still interested in the Wii U version of the game, just to see how it turned out.

Ubi have posted a list of games coming with it still down but as TBC.

I don't see how that means the game has been cancelled, again we have seen absolutely nothing of the wii U version (which admittedly is worrying) but surely they will want to show at least a bit of it to the public before confirming a release date.

My source said it had been cancelled maybe they saw a release list and didn't see watch dog's U on it as it's got no date and gathered it was cancelled.

Me posting about it is on a list as TBC is to cancel out what I said about it being cancelled well at least at the moment.

That's still a poor reason from your source.

I don't know the exact reason that's just something I'm guessing.

Ahh then there's the problem then random speculation helps no one.

It has a date of November 21st in the EU, no site has it down yet properly with date etc but amazon is £40 for it on Wii U, to put that in perspective it's £25 NEW on PS4 at Grainger Games.

Is the Wii U possible features worth a extra £15 and also it comes out same day as some big titles and close to some others.
