Watchdogs

Post by cRacKh0rN »

Anyone bought it today? The reviews are pretty mixed. I'm keen to hear what people think of it before taking the plunge :)

Whilst I'll happily state my bag isn't really open world gaming, this has been over-hyped and does not (imo) deliver it's original promise.

It's a not a bad game, but it certainly isn't great. If you're into open world sand-box stuff...... go with GTA instead.

Roll-on Friday for some gaming "fun" (I hope). ;)

Definatly not.. I can't stress how mind-numbing and boring I find open world 3D sandbox games like this. You can pretty much guarantee they'll consist of horrible awkward controls that require you to jog around a 3D world for 20+ hours and teasing you with 'Collectables' to pad the game out even more. If it's a AAA title you may get some boring driving sections too just for the hell of it. The whole world has gone mad I tells ya!

Do you feel the same about GTA V? I'm a big fan of that, but I think I will give this a swerve until it's 10p preowned :D
