Watch Dogs

[dragon_tail]

I have a feeling I'm the opposite of a lot of people. Sandbox gameplay tends to feel rather samey, so I don't mind if it's a lot more linear than Grand Theft Auto. I'd prefer it, actually.

I'll jump on that. I prefer a tight story told properly. I think Yahtzee put it best in words:

"A game with freedom lacks focus" (or somewhat like that in his Batman Arkham City review). Nearly every of my favorite games are linear because there the expirience of the story can be displayed better.

On Topic: Like I wrote to a friend of mine: It all rises and falls with the DRM methods Ubisoft will use on this game. Normal CD Key register or Steamworks and I'm fine with it. Anything more and I'll pass.

I agree, a lot of sandbox games become boring after a while. The progression is not tightly organised and it is up to you to decide how and when you do things, and as good as having choice is, it has negative aspects. This intrigued me because it is a new concept not really explored in games so far (to my knowledge at least) and if they can pull it off it could have a lot of potential.

It seems pretty much what I wanted out of Human Revolution, but alas they decided to be lazy.
This one looks very promising tho, except the main character is the dullest guy they could possibly find, I'm not sure if they just ran out of money and picked a random nerd on the dev team.

We will see how it all turns out.

I freakin' love the look of this game. The Last of Us is a close second, but so far Watch Dogs is the greatest looking thing I've seen.

Two things in particular set it apart for me. First, the visuals were incredible. Not just technically; I though the artistic design was really well done, from the weird club and art to the protagonist's outfit. Second, the guy has a telescoping baton. I have been waiting way too long to kick ass with one of those things. so cool.

Also looking forward to see how the whole multiplayer-interconnected games things works.

Oh my freaking lord yes.

Open-world, slightly cyberpunk/noir aesthetic...Give it to me already.

 

[synobal]

Meh looks interesting, remains to be seen if it is actually any good though. Also it is ubisoft so I won't be buying it, after all I am a dirty PC gamer, so I have to pirate it, because that is all us dirty filthy PC gamers do.


(I'm making a jab at UBIsoft for their PC rhetoric lately, i won't be buying it or even pirating it, just like I'm not buying Future solider even though I thought it looked neat.)

 

[Pinkamena]

Cybernoir, hacking, technology focus, open-world and huge potential for wreaking havoc?
For the love of Celestia, YES. I want this game.

 

[lacktheknack]

Not getting excited until I find out if the DRM is going the way of Assassin's Creed or Rayman Origins.

 

[Airon]

Great voice acting too. Very much looking forward to the potential game this may be.

Yeah, I loved the design too, the club was really detailed and well done considering it is a free-roam sandbox game, or at least it looks that way.
Watch Dogs, AC3 and Beyond are my top tree E3 games. Too bad Beyond is only coming out on PS3, it looks amazing.

Premise is awesome, gameplay looks boring as hell and gimmicky. The way those cars lined up when he was in cover was too perfect for that not to be scripted.

 

[dragon_tail]

Yeah, that was obviously scripted since the guy you were looking for was in one of the cars and it would be too big of a coincidence that you just happened to cause a crash at the right moment.

 

[baddude1337]

The graphics seem too good to be running on PS3 and 360, but maybe that's just me.

 

[Terratina.]

It has a lotta potential that's for sure. Whether it's a good game or not is still up for debate. I'm not getting my hopes up just in case this is a machination of the hype machine and we run into another Fable scenario.

 

[laggyteabag]

That looked like the most interesting game at E3 this year, I'm just hoping it wasn't just a heavily scripted E3 demo, like the Milo thing for Kinect, because this game has promise

 

[Rabid Toilet]

The game demo looked scripted as all hell, but the game's premise does seem intriguing. I'll be keeping an eye on it, at least.

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

This is easily my favorite game from E3. Such a great concept

 

[Dandark]

This game looks really awesome. Now I just need to hope that Ubisoft doesn't manage to mess it up with stupid DLC or DRM, if they manage to not mess it up with either of them then I am sold.

 

[wadark]

I was really stoked to see it, it looked really awesome. A little disappointed that it turned sort of generic third-person shooter toward the end, but the premise is still intriguing. I'm psyched as hell, my jaw was on the floor with the gameplay and the visuals (which are supposed to be current gen, though that demo was on a high-end PC).

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

It looks really promising. I'm already sold on it, I just hope there's a PC version.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

When you could cause the eight car pileup at the traffic light, and the random pedestrian ran to help people in the pileup... yeah, I want it. I really want a game with a living city sense to it, not like Bethesda games where people walk in cycles and sleep every night, but a dynamic population that leaves the elevator if you fart in it.
