Re: Watch Dogs Thread

Disc all the way. The only way I'll ever go digital this generation is if it's at a deep discount ($30 or less) or it's a digital-only title (like Powerstar Golf was).

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

U guys going disc or digital?

I'll probably go digital for this one.

Disc for my Xbox 360. I prefer console gaming.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

Ugh i just hate having to change discs, and driving to the store. And if i have to install the game to my HDD anyway, digital will be my go to, unless i think im going to sell the game.

Disc, as I don't see this game have that much replay value after a certain time for me. Or at least I rather make sure I can sell it if I want to. I tend to get "keepers" and mostly multiplayer games as digital. I much prefer the convenience of not having to mess around with discs, but I rather sell away titles that are mostly single player games to fund further games.

Same here. I am turning in Arkham Origins and COD:Ghosts for WatchDogs. I'll turn in even more games when Destiny drops.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

hey guys do you think the app will be available for Windows 8 on the smartglass app? or they're going to do it like metal gear and we are going to need an Android or iOS tablet to use the companion app ?

 

[Keith Wallace]

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

Their most-recent gameplay video said iOS/Android. Here's Microsoft, being the only mobile OS provider with an ACTUAL gaming platform (actually, 2, with Windows and Xbox), yet Ubisoft is apparently too lazy to put an app on Windows 8/RT or Windows Phone 8.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

I will not be getting the game if my win8 laptop / surface rt/ or phone doesn't get the app.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

Yeah, I briefly considered canceling my pre-order over it. I don't think I'll do it though, as there isn't another game to play coming out until the fall.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

I wouldn't consider canceling my preorder of the app. It's still going to be quite a minor thing and I prefer not to switch back and forth between "controllers". I wouldn't mind 2nd screen support, but mostly for stuff like perhaps a real time map on my tablet, I don't want to input.

Anyways, this is sort of one of the things that at least I've accepted when I picked WP/didn't pick iOS/Android and I'm already over the fact that we just simply won't get most apps like these.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

Agreed, but there's still a part of me that says "if I'm not worth your time for apps, you're not worth my time for games." I'm vengeful...

But the app is more about the opportunity to play the game while not at home. You can use it to start challenges for friends on their consoles, like setting up a race. The person tries to complete the course you set up, and you use the city (cops, obstacles, etc.) to try to stop him. This isn't just about having a map during the game when you're at home, it seems to be a nice, powerful app for interacting with folks on the go.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

Who ever has not pre-ordered Watch Dogs yet...Microsoftstore.com is selling for $59.99 but they are giving a $15.00 Xbox live gift card, AND, if you are a fatwallet.com member, Microsoft store gives back 4%.....hey a buck is a buck on a pre-order !!!

I think that I am getting the game for about $45 shipped after everything, as the Xbox gift cards I use all the time..

Fat wallet is a great place if u shop online a lot... even ebay gives a % on some things...

 

[Keith Wallace]

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

Yeah, I have it pre-ordered and paid off at Best Buy. If I could, I would cancel it and put the money on it with Microsoft, but I think they'd just refund it to my dad's card (he paid it off as a gift with my console).

 

[A895]

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

I preordered with Gamestop, way more reliable to get it in person.

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

How do you mean? I had KS: Rivals pre-ordered through Best Buy, and getting my game was effortless. Are you meaning that online pre-orders or sketchy or something?

No. I just prefer GameStop. Been shopping there for years for games. I use to go to EB Games, but they went away.

If you pre-order it in the store it is effortless. If you pre-order it online (like I did with Titanfall) and have it 'delivered' its a nightmare. This coming from a guy who pre-orders and buys everything from Best Buy (because of the myBestBuy account). BBOnline doesn't seem to understand that everyone else realizes that a pre-order gets you the game - the day it comes out - guaranteed. BBOnline seems to think a pre-order is just a 'pre-purchase' of an item that you'd like to get 3-5 days after said product is released.

That was infuriating with Titanfall... Sure, its a first-world problem, but man was I annoyed... I mean, I didn't get my game until AFTER Coreldan got it in Europe... the horror!

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

I've pre ordered a couple games from Microsoft directly and they've always arrived on day of release without any issues.

GameStop bought eb games. same store now. Just try to go to eb games website, it redirects to GameStop.

Anyway back to watchdogs. I'm really exited for it! I love open world games. And the hacking element to the game is what got me interested!

Re: Watch Dogs Thread

So there are some random reviews out on YouTube from 'reviewers', nothing out from official sites though.
There are plenty of play throughs and people streaming on Twitch, anyone had a chance to watch anything? I'm still set on getting this, I'm trying to refrain from watching anything cause I want to experience it start to finish on my own.
