I have learned a long long time ago, that if you want the best of gaming today, always be around 1/2 or a whole year behind the release cycle. That way you pay less, have all the bigs patched out, are given additional content (GOTY) and mods available. Oh and of course these is no risk, cause of coverage ;)
I do the same thing. I'm just now about to play this game because I got it on sale for $20 and had Steam gift card. I get to play a lot of games this way for not a lot of money. It's rare that I pay full price for a game anymore.
This, from consoles to a majority of games. Theres only a few titles I buy day one, and its usually Rockstar or Naughty Dog related, other than that, I wait for a sale. Like you said, you get all of the updates and patches.
Ryan Martin you shouldn't.They decided to rush it and not do it like they're supposed to.For them it's just another game to keep the cash flowing.They don't make games anymore,they make money.And it their games show it.
@@ligh5 After WD1 they really took their time with this one trying to pull the WD franchise back and they kinda did - alot. Instead of just re-skinning the game they completely remade core assets.
I absolutely love this game, i could not stop playing it. I just want to express a different opinion from most of these comments that didn’t play the game and are hating on it because it’s Ubisoft.
I agree Michael. i bought watchdogs 1. Could not get myself to play more than 30minutes. Graphics wasnt as advertised and neither anything else that looked cool. Fuck this sequal doesn't even look like the E3 event graphics yet....Worst open world game ever!
Bought it today on the playstation network for 9.99 euro. It is really not worth it to buy games day 1. And I guess all of us have a backlog of games on a platform.
This whole Watch Dogs 2 theme Ubisoft came up with reminds me of that picture of Steve Buscemi with a cap, holding a skateboard over his shoulder, asking "How do you do, fellow kids?".
Rick DLC Go outside instead of playing games? I am confused,was that a typo or did you say INSTEAD as if if you are doing one, you can't also do the other...Just because they play a video game, which takes place where they live, and they like that, doesn't mean they don't go outside...Honestly...Think man, you are jumping to the conclusion they don't go outside based on no factual information...Unless you are saying they shouldn't play that game AT ALL regardless of if they also go outside, and if you are THAT ignorant, why are you watching this video to begin with....Ultimately you didn't put much time into your comment, and that is clear.
Адарай Семёнович Better than the generic 30-40s uncharted Drake like guys. And you literally customize what he looks like so if your character looks like a child, you made him look like a child.
+sly992 The difference is, that Nathan Drake has character development. Sure, it's not as big in the first two games, but by now it is there and worthwhile to experience. WD2's main character on the other hand has a main character that looks bland (not a big thing IMO), *and* that sees absolutely no development. There is no reflection on whether his actions were right or wrong, which is especially ridiculous in a game that is about being morally right or wrong. In fact, there isn't even a slightest difference in the "bad guys" and the main character - only that the main character doesn't like the bad guys. That could of course be understood as some kind of pretty decent analysis of what those hacktivists do nowadays, but without some kind of input from the game itself suggesting that it doesn't take itself seriously this is nothing but mere speculation...
Tail finz after mafia 3 we got battlefield 1 and titan fall 2 and if your not into those games then yeah this year has been very disappointing but if you aren't (like me) you should be pretty satisfied this year I do wish their was a good open world game this year though
Exploration is the main thing I'm after. I loved wandering around GTA V's back streets and alleys, so hopefully this will at least offer that. Mafia 3 started okay with the exploring part but became really boring very quickly. Some areas were okay though and it did have a killer set of radio stations, maybe the best IMO.
If youre out for this, youre gonna really enjoy it. Ive been playing it for like 12 hours total and im just wandering around the streets looking at stuff. Just go around, there a lot of small but very cool details You can also communicate with cvillians/NPCs with emotes. I usually dislike emotes a lot but its just fucking hilarious to smash into a car, see the driver get out, punch him in the throat (yep, thats a thing) and just start dancing and see his/her reaction Just experiment a bit, you gonna get your 60/70 Dollars worth!
I'll still buy this game, because of the clothing, gameplay and story. GTA five also had some clunky running around, but Ubisoft should have been able to nail parkour, because of assassins creed. I was hoping that Ubisoft would have added more people and vehicles but whatever. Maybe they should've taken three or four years to make the game so that it would be worth 60 dollars. That's why rockstar games are so good, because they actually take their time to make great games.
Dawson Retter I totally agree with you...I 'll also buy this game because the story seems interesting to me...and after playing Gta 5 I know it feels dull to many players out there because no game has been able to match Gta in terms of graphics and stuff till now.
To all you guys and girls, Watch Dogs 2 beats GTA in NPC actions and animations. GTA is still way up there and unturned as one of the greatest game series of all time. But I'll still enjoy watch dogs two when I get it this weekend
I just hope the PC port is good - and those abysmal framerates are sorted. I didn't care initially for WD2, but the more content i've seen of it the more it has began to appeal to me. It feels like a saints row 3 kinda crazy, but toned down a bit, crossed with the flair of Vice City - which is a pretty good combo in my books.
hmm, I dunno - i've heard it spends a lot of time sub 30, and also read somewhere it even tanked down to 15 or so at times, that just isn't acceptable imo.
Framerate is pretty subjective though, more of a deal to some than others. Obviously I would love a smooth 60+ on everything, but i'll settle for 30 if its constant and the game is enjoyable enough.
bogdan R The Ac2 you want so badly might as well have come from a different company as that Ubisoft is long dead and buried. I havent enjoyed a Ubisoft game since far cry 3 (yes black flag was fun but literally only the pirate stuff). They are honestly worse than Activision and EA at this point (granted outside of sports EA and Activision have other companies that are actually talented make their games). EA ruins game after game yet they still usually publish 1 good game a year and while I haven't played a COD since MW3 I heard that Ghosts and some of infinite warfare had good story and all until advanced warfare had good online. Ubisofts games have become cancerous I have 0 fun playing them it's like watching TV without colour idk what they do to the games but they butcher the soul.
I agree. Most of their games right now are either re-skins with a couple of new features added (Far Cry 4, Primal, Assassin's Creed which I might add they strip of features year after year), generic third-person cover shooters or life-less "seamless open-worlds" with random collectibles, radio towers (although i think they've gotten rid of them for this game) and repetitive, out of place side-missions thrown in for good measure with less than serviceable stories. If I could use a word to describe most of their recent games it would be..bland. I can understand if you enjoy this type of game (I used to) but now, at least for me, it's pretty boring.
Char Aznable i do, and i think you never understod my comment, but i never said this review is 100% accurate or right, and true i'm an idiot to put faith in companies, but i had my expectations for this game, .mr.completionist
Char Aznable Nope Black Ops had a great story you're crazy if you think otherwise I mean the multiplayer in bo1 was SHIT so the campaign and zombies is actually why most people bought it. On a funny note though I've heard that Infinite Warfare has shit multiplayer like bo1 funny how they haven't been able to do both well since mw2.
GTA in general.* They've been the go-to open world game for me for many years. Haven't played a single title that comes close to accomplishing what the likes of these last few installments have.
Lewis Charlwood gta 5 is imo the best sandbox open world Ive played to date. The setting and story allow for so much fun, and strangers and freaks are fucking hilarious.
Jesus Christ GTA 5 is overrated The city is boring and npc are just walking targets waiting to be shot. open world gameplay boils down to shooting people.
I'm a major GTA fan, and I really would like to see another Open World IP that could give it a run for it's money; since I love open world gaming more than just one or two franchises.
You can't go underwater, you can't have helis or jets, the driving is pathetic, the AI is pathetic, the feel to the game is pathetic. Not the worst, but definitely not the best game
Even though I do not always wholly agree with all of your reviews, I think your channel is one of the most transparent, well-rounded and most reliable for reviews. Thank you for remaining consistent and informative, keep up the good work.
I called it. this game just hasn't been able to pull me into their world story wise. it feels like they only have their open world to offer. well done on the review. very accurate in my opinion.
"Much of the title feels like you're running on top of the game world versus running within it." Very well said! That single sentence allowed me to make up my mind. I had forgotten that feeling I had from the first watch dog. Like no matter how much you are trying to immerse yourself in its world it keeps on finding way to push you back.
i love this game, its sooo much fun. I feel like you have to be in a techy/hacker/coder type of mentality to really understand their mindset of what it is they are doing. Ubisoft did work with real life hacktivist to get an idea of how they think and thats what they developed off of. the only negative I've really came across is the amount of side missions, i feel like they couldve added soo many more side missions especially since there seems to be a random russian gang that has nothing to do with the story as of yet
I'm personally so shocked! I totally believed that UA-camr Reactions trailer they had! I mean, that was authentic enjoyment of the game, right? It's not like that was simply promotional marketing, exaggerating their reactions and enjoyment while avoiding mentioning the flaws so that Ubisoft would be happy and continue giving them free stuff, right?
Ben Dover Was it? Actually, I didn't see many "people react" stuff for Mafia. You know where I have seen it? In many mediocre/same as before games, like Far Cry Primal. AC: Syndicate, AC: Unity, Battlefront. It's almost like these game all have something (or should I day, someONE) in common....
***** What I saw with Mafia was a lot of small youtubers being flown out and were able to show gameplay footage but mostly what they called side missions and collectibles. Well when the game comes out it turns out the whole game is side missions and collectibles in between cutscenes. Your right about all these games this generation. This industry is like a well oiled machine just churning out one disappointing game after another.
Could I customize the clothes and shit of the character to make him look more toned down? Doesn't work for me to be killing 20 dudes per day looking like a vegan, blog writing, deep house dj, long board riding college student. Aiden was boring as fuck but kinda believable as a mass murdering anti-hero.
So for Watchdogs 1 I pirated it because everyone said it sucked and it ran really really poorly. Turned out I loved it and it ran just fine for me, so after about 6 hours I purchased it for full price so I could do multiplayer stuff. Loved it, had an amazing time with it, never regretted my purchase. Sadly this one uses Denuvo, so I can't test it out for myself, which means I'm gonna go ahead and skip it until it goes on deep deep discount.
how does watch dogs 1 get a 10/10 but this game gets a 7.5/10 despite being so much more improved than the original watch dogs this makes about as much sense as getting chrome wheels on GTA online for 50k but the whole car in chrome for only 25k
This game is a fun open world experience. There's stuff you can do in this game that you can't do in GTA V and other games. I don't want to compare it to GTA V but everyone else is so I'm just saying, it's something fun and different. Stop being so critical and remember that games are for fun, they're not all supposed to be 10/10 Masterpieces.
I was kinda hoping this game would prove me wrong, but just looking at gameplay footage, it just feels so empty. Nothing much to it. I imagine myself playing this, with just no feeling to it.
Luke Petersen Well i've no doubt i could get some fun out of it, but my for me it's mostly a question whether it's worth the 60 bucks or not. I can only afford 1 game per month, and strongly considering Titanfall 2 at the moment.
I have the feeling you can carry over the information twice as fast as any other reviewer, which is nice. Rarely seen a 10 minute review so enjoyably packed with information without being overwehlming. You quite know how to use your words.
As an aspiring game dev, I have heard the opposite that they are one of the most hardworking people, they outwork their employees so much. Just look at how the city looks and how much variety there is. I believe the problem is more lack of vision. Coming from up top, but believe me lazy is the last thing I would describe Ubisoft.
um have you fucking seen ghost recons wild lands? that looks very lazy and recycled, not to mention the horrible bugs that'll be in the game, no ubisoft title has impressed in the past 5 years
ligh UBI lack vision and creativity. Their games cloan each other, how many assassins creeds are their now? they have published some good games like Raymond's legends but their AAA titles suck balls! when you compare companies like Rockstar, cd project red and Konami, now that's vision and quality.
Dub Bass Yes, the problem is that they produce so many games under so little time. So they make them formulaic and take little risks. The problem, is that the suits of the company already have their employees overworked, and when they see comments like this (believe me they do) were they have constantly described Ubisoft as being lazy. They think the answer is to overwork their employees even more. When the answer is to break their formula and attempt more variation and even take some risk.
they are like most publishers now, they don't care anymore. Why i rather wait for new Rayman, then play any of these boring open world games. Rockstar still kings of open world, and possible Bathsheda in some aspects.
Jonathan Connor I don't either and frankly the tone deaf nature of them being "in the right" yet committing awful crimes looks like Ubisoft doesn't get it at all. These look like boring vapid characters thought up by some marketing team aiming to get the "kids" interested in their faux version of San Fran absent an actual population. Bet this game doesn't even break 2 million in sales.
+clarknova1567 I WISH it wouldn't sell that well, so Ubisoft would learn their lesson, but you forget there are a lot of apathetic gamers out there who don't care about quality, people who think "Its new, so I want it", without bothering to know what they are getting into. NOTE: There are people, like in this comment section who see all the flaws and decide to buy it anyways as an informed decision, that's fine, nothing wrong there.
Was waiting for this review from you. Absolutely appreciate the level of effort and the granularity your reviews provide as there is a respect for the level complexity in modern games. Too often that complexity of all the layers is ignored, or there is an unbalanced focus to each respective layer in play. Add to that the fact that your reviews are well-written and have some fantastic metaphors woven in nicely! All round fantastic job. Any time a new game is releasing that has me colored 12 kinds of skeptical, my first stop is the ol' ACG channel. Keep up the great work, man.
I think people forgot what games are supposed to be these days games were made for fun while this game doesn't have the best graphics and what not it's fun (better with friends) but if a game comes out with amazing graphics and awesome story no matter how boring it is everyone just loves it... if you want something like that then WATCH A MOVIE
I didn't even watch the whole review but from watching the first 4 minutes of it, you've earned yourself a subscriber. Great in depth and honest review. Keep up the good work!
Hey Jeremy, as usual, informative and entertaining review! On a side note, I don't know if you get this enough, but your writing, narration style, and even voice quality are all so on point. You've obviously got the trappings of a great presenter. It's what really sets you apart from many other UA-cam personalities. And it was primarily for this reason that I subscribed to you. Not trying to brown nose or anything, just a simple, sincere compliment.
Wow that's one of the most comprehensive reviews I've heard of a game in a while. I'm going to follow your recommendation and subscribe in exchange for that info.
Half of me wants to buy this game and the half of me cant seem to like it. Fuck it I'll save my money for Final Fantasy. I've been watching people play this game and it doesnt really look that great.
Watch dogs 2 is an underrated gem cause the 1st one was downgraded Watch dogs 2 is way better than bland overrated GTA 5(boring outside story and few marked strangers and freaks ) Yeah story is average but World and NPCs in watch dogs 2 feel lived in and interactable way more than GTA 5 One in every 10npc is a freak in watch dogs 2 and the game has unique mechanics Watch dogs 2 over GTA 5 any day
Will certainly be checking this out when its a little cheaper. I was expecting it to be hit and miss but I think it will be worth a playthrough as I love open world games in general. Great review.
I saw a comment on an IGN review telling me to come here and check these reviews out and I definitely do not regret it. These reviews are awesome and give me a good amount of information to let me know if I want to buy a game or not. I am now a loyal subscriber dude. Keep these awesome reviews coming.
I have so much respect for you. Most youtubers stop reading comments after they hit 100,000 subs. I really appreciate you replying to comments and helping us.
I didn't even realize how dead the world is until you brought it up. Like goddamn, the population density is seriously Infamous: Second Son levels of hollow and lifeless.
I'm so glad I discovered this channel awhile back. The ONLY reviewer I respect and trust in gaming. ACG has saved me from wasting money and experiencing disappointment numerous times. Thank you ACG.
Enjoyed the first one a lot (online hacking mode had some hilarious moments messing with the other player as they desperately try to find me through the environment). Got this one arriving soon. Digging the style and looks fun. However, I do not support getting any 'gold' or 'deluxe' editions because those are a ripoff.
Justo Fernández very true. I loved the gritty feel of wd1 with the flawed yet bland protagonist. Feels like it went from girl with the dragon tattoo dark to after school special with a bit of antifa shit. Dedsec was a dark secretive group probably very compartmentalized where most members didn't know other members. Now it's just hipster club... Meh.
cykablyat I think that I have to agree with you on that. But, it just shows how the ages are uniquely connected by how they want to show the individuals around them how they're different in a good way. But, yes you're so right.
Far Cry Primal was the last time I told myself I would preorder a Ubisoft game and I won't be buying this game at all! I enjoyed the last watchdogs a little bit but I was new to gaming then. I just cannot see myself being bothered to play this. Thanks for another great review! You really are the voice of reason when it comes to game reviews!
BLEACH from poundland angry joe is good, but literally everyone he has on his channel agrees with every single thing he says. No one else has their own opinions. I like the way ACG does buy/rent/never touch cause joes scores can change after a couple months.
I like it a lot, I live in the bay area California. Computer science is my major. I enjoyed this game, beat it and completed all the side missions. At times great games just comes to what an individuals interest is.
Not surpising. Ubisoft doesn't know how to raise the ante when it comes to sequels that desperately need it, like AC or Far Cry. I'd say get it for $25 tops, no more.
Finally honesty, every other game channel is kissing the games arse. On the back of this review I am going to wait until price drops a little. Thanks man.
Got this on sale for $24 after playing the first one for free (Xbox games with gold). I got more than double the value out of it. It's so much fun. I've finished the story and yet I'm still playing. I rarely do that with games.
This is now my go to channel for reviews. I was excited for this game but after seeing this I may just wait until Christmas or boxing day. +1 Subscriber
Brendan Wagner same man. I was really excited to get this game but now that it's right around the corner, I've lost a lot of interest in it, so now I'm thinking of waiting until it's cheaper.
I got this on sale and am about an hour in and actually having quite a bit of fun with it. I like the stealth mechanics. just give me stealth combat and kinda interesting characters, nice setting and good music and im happy. The only thing that really ruins games for me is if missions feel too empty or nonrewarding....or if the game is just too slow paced (which includes popular games that a lot of people like...I just hate slow pace). So far this game doesn't do either of those joy-killing things for me so, I like it.
Thanks for the excellent reviews, as usual! My only recommendation is to keep the sound & music portion of your review short, or even better yet take it out all together and briefly mention it in your gameplay section. I always tend to skip sound & music because its just not very important to me.
+Safe Alattar Honestly, I can't find this kind of information from any other source, and it's always pretty interesting to me to hear if a game has proper sound reverberation and the like. I think it's a great part of the review :P
I was hoping that the game would have an AC2 effect. Meaning that the developers would learn from a great deal of their mistakes from the last game, and make a world and characters that people would like. What's the purpose of focus groups besides ruining everything?
Kanoshie Abamanito I find it funny that karak loved the first one and felt lukewarm with the second and i kinda feel the same way. While 2 improved with a gew tweak i preffered the darker tone and setting of the first one. The city felt more alive and also not filled with hipster bs.
Found this channel about a month ago and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the honest review. I hate it when game reviewers desperately pad their reviews for mediocre games.
I enjoyed the first watch dogs and I am enjoying this one as well. I like that it has some of the old ped randomness we used to get in gta games and early saints row. Random gang fights, shootouts, fights. I really hate how so many open world games have gone away from that helps immerse me into the game. keeps me interested in just being in the world.
I have played this game for 62 hours and I only experienced a frame rate drop once when I was disconnected from Xbox live. I'm not sure if you were talking about PS4 or both consoles.
AnyOne in 2019 wondering if they should buy in 2019 on sale ...... BUY 🍹 its a good + fun Game with a Good Open world butt NO mods 😡 Thanx ACG for Posting 🎥
Side Note : my Gameplay is with an HP with i5-2400 + 16gb + 1050 ti 4gb @ 1080p with a mix of high / medium so I can achieve above 50 fps most of the time 🎮 if you have my Specs or higher I would Recommend the Game on the Pc Platform if you have a choice : its a looker 💻
I'd be interested in eventually giving this a go - seems fun, never played the first one - but after putting a few dozen hours into 'The Division,' I can't bring myself to play something that looks so similar: the HUD, the worlds, the cover interaction/movement/etc. Just seems like a reskinned, non-apocalyptic 'The Division.' Also, nice to hear that the game hasn't officially released yet and the fucking multiplayer is broken. Typical Ubisoft.
Soooooooo Polygon, Destructoid game the game a 8 and 8.5 respectively. And the game currently has a 85 on metacritic, but your opinion is that the game is a wait for a sale? I respect your opinion but that is just that, a opinion. It has been getting pretty decent reviews elsewhere so the game can't be that bad. I'll be picking this up tomorrow. I have learned that not everybody shares the same tastes and opinions. I'll play the game and judge it for myself. Also everybody who is complaining about the world being dead last time I checked Infamous Second Son didn't have a very impressive population in that game as well and it still turned out to be a pretty decent game.
ya...that is a very odd series of comparisons there lol and 2 games actually trying to do very different things with their cities too. Then again someone saying polygon and destructoid scores are different than mine are the #1 reason most folks come here. Looks like others want agreement between everyone
ACG And I'm not faulting you for your opinions. I'm just simply pointing out while other review sites think the game is decent and you believe that the game is a wait to buy, that is two different opinions. I see so many people take others opinions to seriously and don't think for themselves. I'm just simply saying I'm not letting someone's opinion effect my purchase. The game looks like something I would enjoy, I'm not looking for a GTA V clone, my standards are not out of this world like some people these days. The game looks decent and from many of the streams I have watched on this game it looks like I will enjoy it. That is all I was pointing out. Not faulting you for making a review of the game at all.
Hey ACG! You rock man, i love your style of reviews. It's sort of like Zero Punctuation, talk fast, throw a few jokes in, and execute it perfectly. Really great work.
I have learned a long long time ago, that if you want the best of gaming today, always be around 1/2 or a whole year behind the release cycle. That way you pay less, have all the bigs patched out, are given additional content (GOTY) and mods available.
Oh and of course these is no risk, cause of coverage ;)
I do the same thing. I'm just now about to play this game because I got it on sale for $20 and had Steam gift card. I get to play a lot of games this way for not a lot of money. It's rare that I pay full price for a game anymore.

clouds5 So true, especially when most games are released unfinished nowadays.
Yup, $15 at gamestop now, Watch Dogs is only $5.
12 dollars on steam now
Bought it today on the playstation network for 9.99 euro. It is really not worth it to buy games day 1. And I guess all of us have a backlog of games on a platform.
I bought it for 9$ a few minutes ago.

Адарай Семёнович Better than the generic 30-40s uncharted Drake like guys. And you literally customize what he looks like so if your character looks like a child, you made him look like a child.
WOW After playing games as the same generic looking white male
+sly992 The difference is, that Nathan Drake has character development. Sure, it's not as big in the first two games, but by now it is there and worthwhile to experience. WD2's main character on the other hand has a main character that looks bland (not a big thing IMO), *and* that sees absolutely no development. There is no reflection on whether his actions were right or wrong, which is especially ridiculous in a game that is about being morally right or wrong. In fact, there isn't even a slightest difference in the "bad guys" and the main character - only that the main character doesn't like the bad guys. That could of course be understood as some kind of pretty decent analysis of what those hacktivists do nowadays, but without some kind of input from the game itself suggesting that it doesn't take itself seriously this is nothing but mere speculation...
sly992 Drake was a great character, go home, you're drunk
Man i would love a prototype 3
Piccolo Hell yes
First time I've seen a reviewer being honest and fair on a game. I thank you.
Sup hank thanks!
Holy fuck those framerates
Scott2781 enjoy your 10fps than
Well, that escalated...
hirad salehmanesh please show me where i said i was on pc...
people get so triggered easily, what's happen when you're not educated enough.
hirad salehmanesh What? he's right, the frame rates are aweful.
so its not the assasins creed ii to the assassins creed...
farrel mukhesh i hoped this was like ac ii eh..
atleast we wont suffer 8 sequels
《X-RAGENATOR》 ....or will we? ( Watch Dogs: Brotherhood) Dun dun dun!
:(
Richard Tsai Time to download some torrents. To The Pirate Bay!
Surfing on the Interwebs x'D
Game actually looks pretty good. I'll be waiting for the PC version though, can't stand the FPS drops.
GTA5Videos yoooo what's good??? Huge fan of the content. I'm getting the PC version too, wanna play?
GTA5Videos I watch your video since 2011. It's good to see u again
BUT YOU STILL GET DROPS THOUGH I MEAN THEY ALL DO
Cuz pc will be stable hahah
think I will buy this only to explore the world, must say after mafia 3 this is the year of disappointment
Tail finz mafia 3 was kinda fixed on pc with the new patch
Tail finz that's every year a rockstar game doesn't come out
Tail finz after mafia 3 we got battlefield 1 and titan fall 2 and if your not into those games then yeah this year has been very disappointing but if you aren't (like me) you should be pretty satisfied this year I do wish their was a good open world game this year though
Exploration is the main thing I'm after. I loved wandering around GTA V's back streets and alleys, so hopefully this will at least offer that.
Mafia 3 started okay with the exploring part but became really boring very quickly. Some areas were okay though and it did have a killer set of radio stations, maybe the best IMO.
If youre out for this, youre gonna really enjoy it. Ive been playing it for like 12 hours total and im just wandering around the streets looking at stuff.
Just go around, there a lot of small but very cool details
You can also communicate with cvillians/NPCs with emotes. I usually dislike emotes a lot but its just fucking hilarious to smash into a car, see the driver get out, punch him in the throat (yep, thats a thing) and just start dancing and see his/her reaction
Just experiment a bit, you gonna get your 60/70 Dollars worth!
Ubisoft: Masters of the average game
So true.
gotta admit they have some additive open world games
Prince Vegeta
'additive' is about right!
because they copied an average game and pasted it on all their titles
Warstub sorry English isn't my first language
I'll still buy this game, because of the clothing, gameplay and story. GTA five also had some clunky running around, but Ubisoft should have been able to nail parkour, because of assassins creed. I was hoping that Ubisoft would have added more people and vehicles but whatever. Maybe they should've taken three or four years to make the game so that it would be worth 60 dollars. That's why rockstar games are so good, because they actually take their time to make great games.
Also good review and I subbed
Dawson Retter I totally agree with you...I 'll also buy this game because the story seems interesting to me...and after playing Gta 5 I know it feels dull to many players out there because no game has been able to match Gta in terms of graphics and stuff till now.
***** Read my comment carefully...I 've said that no game has been able to match Gta till now
No no..that's not what I meant actually.
To all you guys and girls, Watch Dogs 2 beats GTA in NPC actions and animations. GTA is still way up there and unturned as one of the greatest game series of all time. But I'll still enjoy watch dogs two when I get it this weekend
I just hope the PC port is good - and those abysmal framerates are sorted. I didn't care initially for WD2, but the more content i've seen of it the more it has began to appeal to me. It feels like a saints row 3 kinda crazy, but toned down a bit, crossed with the flair of Vice City - which is a pretty good combo in my books.
more noticeable than abysmal
hmm, I dunno - i've heard it spends a lot of time sub 30, and also read somewhere it even tanked down to 15 or so at times, that just isn't acceptable imo.
Framerate is pretty subjective though, more of a deal to some than others. Obviously I would love a smooth 60+ on everything, but i'll settle for 30 if its constant and the game is enjoyable enough.
ya for sure. To me I hate if it moves around I would love LOcked 30 versus say 27-44 or some shit
Aye totally agree with you there. PS Great, useful and detailed review - keep it up dude :)
So overall it's kinda meh. It's not the Assassin's Creed 2 that some wished it would be. Might pick it up on a sale on Steam if the PC port is decent.
bogdan R The Ac2 you want so badly might as well have come from a different company as that Ubisoft is long dead and buried. I havent enjoyed a Ubisoft game since far cry 3 (yes black flag was fun but literally only the pirate stuff). They are honestly worse than Activision and EA at this point (granted outside of sports EA and Activision have other companies that are actually talented make their games). EA ruins game after game yet they still usually publish 1 good game a year and while I haven't played a COD since MW3 I heard that Ghosts and some of infinite warfare had good story and all until advanced warfare had good online. Ubisofts games have become cancerous I have 0 fun playing them it's like watching TV without colour idk what they do to the games but they butcher the soul.
I agree. Most of their games right now are either re-skins with a couple of new features added (Far Cry 4, Primal, Assassin's Creed which I might add they strip of features year after year), generic third-person cover shooters or life-less "seamless open-worlds" with random collectibles, radio towers (although i think they've gotten rid of them for this game) and repetitive, out of place side-missions thrown in for good measure with less than serviceable stories. If I could use a word to describe most of their recent games it would be..bland. I can understand if you enjoy this type of game (I used to) but now, at least for me, it's pretty boring.
bogdan R After this disapointment i lost complete faith in ubisoft
Char Aznable i do, and i think you never understod my comment, but i never said this review is 100% accurate or right, and true i'm an idiot to put faith in companies,
but i had my expectations for this game, .mr.completionist
Char Aznable Nope Black Ops had a great story you're crazy if you think otherwise I mean the multiplayer in bo1 was SHIT so the campaign and zombies is actually why most people bought it. On a funny note though I've heard that Infinite Warfare has shit multiplayer like bo1 funny how they haven't been able to do both well since mw2.
It seems as if any open world game now fails because it's not GTA V
GTA in general.*
They've been the go-to open world game for me for many years. Haven't played a single title that comes close to accomplishing what the likes of these last few installments have.
Lewis Charlwood gta 5 is imo the best sandbox open world Ive played to date. The setting and story allow for so much fun, and strangers and freaks are fucking hilarious.
Jesus Christ GTA 5 is overrated The city is boring and npc are just walking targets waiting to be shot. open world gameplay boils down to shooting people.
I'm a major GTA fan, and I really would like to see another Open World IP that could give it a run for it's money; since I love open world gaming more than just one or two franchises.
The first Watch Dogs sold like 12 million copies though
Hopefully Watch Dogs 2 will be more free and open than the first one. In the first one there were helicopters but you couldn't use them etc
WesleyAPEX you still cant
in this one they give you a toy helicopter to fly, maybe in watch dogs 10 you get to fly an actual helicopter
You can't go underwater, you can't have helis or jets, the driving is pathetic, the AI is pathetic, the feel to the game is pathetic. Not the worst, but definitely not the best game
Even though I do not always wholly agree with all of your reviews, I think your channel is one of the most transparent, well-rounded and most reliable for reviews. Thank you for remaining consistent and informative, keep up the good work.
I called it. this game just hasn't been able to pull me into their world story wise. it feels like they only have their open world to offer. well done on the review. very accurate in my opinion.
Thanks for another great review mate. How do you play through all these games so quickly without burning out?? :-)
yep. Well I like games...so for now its like getting to talk about games with folks. Thats the opposite of burnout
ACG of course. But what about games that are crap and you have to play them for so many hours to review them? Surely that's painful?
those are awesopme. Haven't you ever laughed at a game with a friend? That is the BEST
ACG true! But I meant the terrible ones you have to play by yourself. Hey if a game is crap, do you still buy it and give it away to patrons?
Ya thats the ones I meant. I get to talk to them with youtubers like friends teasing titles its amazing and yes
"Much of the title feels like you're running on top of the game world versus running within it."
Very well said! That single sentence allowed me to make up my mind. I had forgotten that feeling I had from the first watch dog. Like no matter how much you are trying to immerse yourself in its world it keeps on finding way to push you back.
Appreciate that sir
i love this game, its sooo much fun. I feel like you have to be in a techy/hacker/coder type of mentality to really understand their mindset of what it is they are doing. Ubisoft did work with real life hacktivist to get an idea of how they think and thats what they developed off of. the only negative I've really came across is the amount of side missions, i feel like they couldve added soo many more side missions especially since there seems to be a random russian gang that has nothing to do with the story as of yet
Very dissapointing but not unexpected from Ubisoft.
I'm personally so shocked! I totally believed that UA-camr Reactions trailer they had! I mean, that was authentic enjoyment of the game, right? It's not like that was simply promotional marketing, exaggerating their reactions and enjoyment while avoiding mentioning the flaws so that Ubisoft would be happy and continue giving them free stuff, right?
+TheKeeperofChaos do I sense some sarcasm there??? lol
TheKeeperofChaos That's always a red flag to look out for. I think Mafia 3 was one of the worst offenders of this.
Ben Dover Was it? Actually, I didn't see many "people react" stuff for Mafia. You know where I have seen it? In many mediocre/same as before games, like Far Cry Primal. AC: Syndicate, AC: Unity, Battlefront. It's almost like these game all have something (or should I day, someONE) in common....
***** What I saw with Mafia was a lot of small youtubers being flown out and were able to show gameplay footage but mostly what they called side missions and collectibles. Well when the game comes out it turns out the whole game is side missions and collectibles in between cutscenes. Your right about all these games this generation. This industry is like a well oiled machine just churning out one disappointing game after another.
"...sensitivity turned up to root canal level."
I come here for the quotes and I'm NEVER disappointed. Bravo sir.
I'd say 70-80% of AAA titles this year have been a disappointment
SG Vizion yeah ur right, i had more fun with smaller games and remakes this year.
im just getting older or games just sucked this year lol
I can see that
Even $20 games like Shadow Warrior 2 lived up to expectations
This one had potential though.
SG Vizion Did people actually have high hopes for this game?
Could I customize the clothes and shit of the character to make him look more toned down? Doesn't work for me to be killing 20 dudes per day looking like a vegan, blog writing, deep house dj, long board riding college student. Aiden was boring as fuck but kinda believable as a mass murdering anti-hero.
So for Watchdogs 1 I pirated it because everyone said it sucked and it ran really really poorly.
Turned out I loved it and it ran just fine for me, so after about 6 hours I purchased it for full price so I could do multiplayer stuff. Loved it, had an amazing time with it, never regretted my purchase.
Sadly this one uses Denuvo, so I can't test it out for myself, which means I'm gonna go ahead and skip it until it goes on deep deep discount.
how does watch dogs 1 get a 10/10 but this game gets a 7.5/10 despite being so much more improved than the original watch dogs this makes about as much sense as getting chrome wheels on GTA online for 50k but the whole car in chrome for only 25k
probably he gave it
This game is a fun open world experience. There's stuff you can do in this game that you can't do in GTA V and other games. I don't want to compare it to GTA V but everyone else is so I'm just saying, it's something fun and different. Stop being so critical and remember that games are for fun, they're not all supposed to be 10/10 Masterpieces.
Damn bruh well said
I was kinda hoping this game would prove me wrong, but just looking at gameplay footage, it just feels so empty. Nothing much to it. I imagine myself playing this, with just no feeling to it.
Carl I thought so too but it's really fun
Luke Petersen Well i've no doubt i could get some fun out of it, but my for me it's mostly a question whether it's worth the 60 bucks or not. I can only afford 1 game per month, and strongly considering Titanfall 2 at the moment.
thats how i feel when playing it
GTA 5 was also empty.
@@titanicww2345 lmao why bring gta 5 up? Are you a insecure watchdog fanboy? Gta 5 is 10x better and 10x more detailed
I like how he invites people who didn't like the review to give it a thumbs down. Kind of takes away their power
The subscriber count is something he should worry about. For the amount of content he shits out his subscriber count is too low.
actually its in the top 21% for timeline subscriber growth. Very good actually
I have the feeling you can carry over the information twice as fast as any other reviewer, which is nice. Rarely seen a 10 minute review so enjoyably packed with information without being overwehlming. You quite know how to use your words.
Ubisoft is so lazy...they lost their charm.Stupid,boring,recycled,static lifeless crap.Shame.
As an aspiring game dev, I have heard the opposite that they are one of the most hardworking people, they outwork their employees so much. Just look at how the city looks and how much variety there is. I believe the problem is more lack of vision. Coming from up top, but believe me lazy is the last thing I would describe Ubisoft.
um have you fucking seen ghost recons wild lands? that looks very lazy and recycled, not to mention the horrible bugs that'll be in the game, no ubisoft title has impressed in the past 5 years
ligh UBI lack vision and creativity. Their games cloan each other, how many assassins creeds are their now? they have published some good games like Raymond's legends but their AAA titles suck balls! when you compare companies like Rockstar, cd project red and Konami, now that's vision and quality.
Dub Bass Yes, the problem is that they produce so many games under so little time. So they make them formulaic and take little risks. The problem, is that the suits of the company already have their employees overworked, and when they see comments like this (believe me they do) were they have constantly described Ubisoft as being lazy. They think the answer is to overwork their employees even more. When the answer is to break their formula and attempt more variation and even take some risk.
they are like most publishers now, they don't care anymore. Why i rather wait for new Rayman, then play any of these boring open world games. Rockstar still kings of open world, and possible Bathsheda in some aspects.
I must be old because I don't want to play as these hipster sassy teenagers
nah, I'm 18 and I don't even like the "cool" nerd/hipster thing in this game and nor does this game look fun, like at all.
Jonathan Connor I don't either and frankly the tone deaf nature of them being "in the right" yet committing awful crimes looks like Ubisoft doesn't get it at all. These look like boring vapid characters thought up by some marketing team aiming to get the "kids" interested in their faux version of San Fran absent an actual population.
Bet this game doesn't even break 2 million in sales.
Yeah, I hate the protagonist. I was one of those that complained about how boring Aiden was. But I didn't mean replace him with an annoying character.
+clarknova1567 I WISH it wouldn't sell that well, so Ubisoft would learn their lesson, but you forget there are a lot of apathetic gamers out there who don't care about quality, people who think "Its new, so I want it", without bothering to know what they are getting into. NOTE: There are people, like in this comment section who see all the flaws and decide to buy it anyways as an informed decision, that's fine, nothing wrong there.
ZaneCRUZE aren't you a special snowflake
Was waiting for this review from you.
Absolutely appreciate the level of effort and the granularity your reviews provide as there is a respect for the level complexity in modern games. Too often that complexity of all the layers is ignored, or there is an unbalanced focus to each respective layer in play. Add to that the fact that your reviews are well-written and have some fantastic metaphors woven in nicely! All round fantastic job.
Any time a new game is releasing that has me colored 12 kinds of skeptical, my first stop is the ol' ACG channel. Keep up the great work, man.
thanks oyu man
I think people forgot what games are supposed to be these days games were made for fun while this game doesn't have the best graphics and what not it's fun (better with friends) but if a game comes out with amazing graphics and awesome story no matter how boring it is everyone just loves it... if you want something like that then WATCH A MOVIE
Daniel Forsyth most of the missions in this game are repetitive and that gets boring.
Daniel Forsyth the graphics look pretty amazing I don't understand how any other game looks better than this wtf
I didn't even watch the whole review but from watching the first 4 minutes of it, you've earned yourself a subscriber. Great in depth and honest review. Keep up the good work!
appreciate that Karan
Hey Jeremy, as usual, informative and entertaining review! On a side note, I don't know if you get this enough, but your writing, narration style, and even voice quality are all so on point. You've obviously got the trappings of a great presenter. It's what really sets you apart from many other UA-cam personalities. And it was primarily for this reason that I subscribed to you. Not trying to brown nose or anything, just a simple, sincere compliment.
Well thanks Rob! Seriously
another good, honest review, thanks. I always come hear first for reviews.
thanks Mr
Wow that's one of the most comprehensive reviews I've heard of a game in a while. I'm going to follow your recommendation and subscribe in exchange for that info.
thanks man
Empty world, crappy driving mechanics, and tryhard voice acting. Couldn't listen to that for 25+ hours. Thanks for the vid @acg
Other reviews say the opposite of what Karak said, but dangit, I trust ACG reviews pretty often!
Half of me wants to buy this game and the half of me cant seem to like it. Fuck it I'll save my money for Final Fantasy. I've been watching people play this game and it doesnt really look that great.
Watch dogs 2 is an underrated gem cause the 1st one was downgraded
Watch dogs 2 is way better than bland overrated GTA 5(boring outside story and few marked strangers and freaks )
Yeah story is average but
World and NPCs in watch dogs 2 feel lived in and interactable way more than GTA 5
One in every 10npc is a freak in watch dogs 2 and the game has unique mechanics
Watch dogs 2 over GTA 5 any day
Who is their main audience for this game anyway? I do not get what they are trying to do with this.
Azure edgy-hipsters 15yo.
+Bed Intruder then they did a really bad job trying to market to me *not edgy tho*
Wow I am 15yo and I own this game I have to agree with this guy
13 to 15 years old who thinks capitalism is pure evil
Anyone who like fortitude.
Will certainly be checking this out when its a little cheaper. I was expecting it to be hit and miss but I think it will be worth a playthrough as I love open world games in general. Great review.
Such a good review man. Always come to you first
I saw a comment on an IGN review telling me to come here and check these reviews out and I definitely do not regret it. These reviews are awesome and give me a good amount of information to let me know if I want to buy a game or not. I am now a loyal subscriber dude. Keep these awesome reviews coming.
I have so much respect for you. Most youtubers stop reading comments after they hit 100,000 subs. I really appreciate you replying to comments and helping us.
thanks MLG
I didn't even realize how dead the world is until you brought it up. Like goddamn, the population density is seriously Infamous: Second Son levels of hollow and lifeless.
i think most of the problems you listed on dishonored 2 were fixed. so, without those issues, is it worth buying? it is getting great reviews
DihStyle69 yes but not full price
DihStyle69 fuck the reviewers who probably get paid
DihStyle69 I literally haven't had any of the problems he mentioned so i think it has, on PS4 at least I'm loving it so far.
I'm unable to find PC patch notes. Are you sure an update was pushed out?
If y not playing on PC buy it.
Ubisoft doesn't understand how to build living, breathing worlds. Rather they build a giant level that feels like a set piece.
LudeandLude They used to...
I'm so glad I discovered this channel awhile back. The ONLY reviewer I respect and trust in gaming. ACG has saved me from wasting money and experiencing disappointment numerous times. Thank you ACG.
thaks man
A great review as always! Probably the best channel for game reviews
Props man keep it up
thanks man
ACG why no rocket league review I can't find it
never played it
This guy right here...Never played rocket leage smh....I lost all respect for you. (Jk, but seriously rocket league is amazing)
Enjoyed the first one a lot (online hacking mode had some hilarious moments messing with the other player as they desperately try to find me through the environment). Got this one arriving soon. Digging the style and looks fun. However, I do not support getting any 'gold' or 'deluxe' editions because those are a ripoff.
The game feels like the straight to dvd sequel of a big budget movie we seem to get from companies like Disney.
MtMarshi That.. is a surprisingly good analogy
yup,first game was a crime drama action thrill ride and this is just hipsters
Justo Fernández very true. I loved the gritty feel of wd1 with the flawed yet bland protagonist. Feels like it went from girl with the dragon tattoo dark to after school special with a bit of antifa shit. Dedsec was a dark secretive group probably very compartmentalized where most members didn't know other members. Now it's just hipster club... Meh.
Probably the best one-line description of this game.
God the cringe is real with this game, how many times do they say "we're hackers"? Lol
Bruce Campbell because they are hackers....
"We're astronauts" just doesn't have the same ring to it lmao
cykablyat I think that I have to agree with you on that. But, it just shows how the ages are uniquely connected by how they want to show the individuals around them how they're different in a good way.
But, yes you're so right.
I watched someone stream this and after a while I couldn't stand it anymore. The characters are so terrible.
I'll blame your opinion on the internet
I like how Ubisoft always changes the protagonist and area you explore for every game they make..can't wait to see how watch dogs 3 goes
best review channel out there man, only one i trust. thank you for keeping it up. cant wait to see your reviews to come, best of luck.
thanks sir I try
Damn, I didn't know Hudson Mohawke did the music
Dr. Pheel Sleeping Dogs was great with his tracks. I agree.
Good God... Good God... You can review a game man. Absolutely amazing video. Awesome job.
Thanks Clinton
am I the only person that didn't find the driving in the first to be bad? I thought it was close to as good as GTA..
Shelby- pit I thought the crashes were realistic as hell and it was actually fun to slam cars everywhere
I'd say it was ok in first one, but nothing more.
Shelby- pit yes it was awesome they said it was supposed to be more sim like
Far Cry Primal was the last time I told myself I would preorder a Ubisoft game and I won't be buying this game at all! I enjoyed the last watchdogs a little bit but I was new to gaming then. I just cannot see myself being bothered to play this. Thanks for another great review! You really are the voice of reason when it comes to game reviews!
thank you ACG, literally the best reviewer on UA-cam
thanks
Best reviewer on UA-cam, folks. ACG and Karak get a five..........out of five.
Hunter Tinsley never forget (bows abd shakes head for xplay)
Negative, they get a buy.
naaa angryjoe is the bomb
BLEACH from poundland angry joe is good, but literally everyone he has on his channel agrees with every single thing he says. No one else has their own opinions. I like the way ACG does buy/rent/never touch cause joes scores can change after a couple months.
Am i the only one who really like this game?
there are people right here in the comments section
I do like it
I like it a lot, I live in the bay area California. Computer science is my major. I enjoyed this game, beat it and completed all the side missions. At times great games just comes to what an individuals interest is.
Not surpising. Ubisoft doesn't know how to raise the ante when it comes to sequels that desperately need it, like AC or Far Cry. I'd say get it for $25 tops, no more.
Finally honesty, every other game channel is kissing the games arse. On the back of this review I am going to wait until price drops a little. Thanks man.
you bet bet wait for a sale doesn't mean its terrible or anything .Just an FYI
Got this on sale for $24 after playing the first one for free (Xbox games with gold). I got more than double the value out of it. It's so much fun. I've finished the story and yet I'm still playing. I rarely do that with games.
yup its 24 dollars right now on ps4 im finna go ahead and get it i read all the comments and yours helped make up my mind thanks.
yeah, as soon as I saw we were playing as a member of LMFAO I knew this was going to try way to hard with the references to be enjoyable.
This is now my go to channel for reviews. I was excited for this game but after seeing this I may just wait until Christmas or boxing day. +1 Subscriber
Glad the videos work for you Brendan
Brendan Wagner same man. I was really excited to get this game but now that it's right around the corner, I've lost a lot of interest in it, so now I'm thinking of waiting until it's cheaper.
Why most of the in-game footage has
Yuup Yupup The PC version isn't out yet
Watch the video.
Yuup Yupup i have it on ps4 and it hasnt dropped once
I got this on sale and am about an hour in and actually having quite a bit of fun with it. I like the stealth mechanics. just give me stealth combat and kinda interesting characters, nice setting and good music and im happy. The only thing that really ruins games for me is if missions feel too empty or nonrewarding....or if the game is just too slow paced (which includes popular games that a lot of people like...I just hate slow pace). So far this game doesn't do either of those joy-killing things for me so, I like it.
Thanks for the excellent reviews, as usual! My only recommendation is to keep the sound & music portion of your review short, or even better yet take it out all together and briefly mention it in your gameplay section. I always tend to skip sound & music because its just not very important to me.
Honestly it will probably get longer and longr as thats the majority of the subscribers. According to metrics
+Safe Alattar Honestly, I can't find this kind of information from any other source, and it's always pretty interesting to me to hear if a game has proper sound reverberation and the like. I think it's a great part of the review :P
Fair enough. Interesting to know many do prefer that info.
I love this game i love the driving, the missions, the huge map, the graphics, multiplayer, its all great i would give it a 9/10 tbh
As always Im glad I waited for your review. Thanks Karak, you are a money saver
thats myjob brother
I was hoping that the game would have an AC2 effect. Meaning that the developers would learn from a great deal of their mistakes from the last game, and make a world and characters that people would like. What's the purpose of focus groups besides ruining everything?
Kanoshie Abamanito I find it funny that karak loved the first one and felt lukewarm with the second and i kinda feel the same way. While 2 improved with a gew tweak i preffered the darker tone and setting of the first one. The city felt more alive and also not filled with hipster bs.
Found this channel about a month ago and I'm glad I did. Thanks for the honest review. I hate it when game reviewers desperately pad their reviews for mediocre games.
Thanks sir
I enjoyed the first watch dogs and I am enjoying this one as well. I like that it has some of the old ped randomness we used to get in gta games and early saints row. Random gang fights, shootouts, fights. I really hate how so many open world games have gone away from that helps immerse me into the game. keeps me interested in just being in the world.
nice review thanks, will you do r6 siege year 1 review ?
not sure
The first watchdogs was amazing, and I can't wait for wd2
Am I the only one that kinda loved the original Watch Dogs?
The lincoln log is one of the most accurate analogies i've ever heard.
lol glad you liked it Tanner
Thank you. This is the first channel I come to for an honest-to-goodness review.
you bet
I have played this game for 62 hours and I only experienced a frame rate drop once when I was disconnected from Xbox live. I'm not sure if you were talking about PS4 or both consoles.
good for you!
ACG i didn't hear your verdict was it to buy it or sell it or rent it?
AnyOne in 2019 wondering if they should buy in 2019 on sale ...... BUY 🍹 its a good + fun Game with a Good Open world butt NO mods 😡 Thanx ACG for Posting 🎥
Side Note : my Gameplay is with an HP with i5-2400 + 16gb + 1050 ti 4gb @ 1080p with a mix of high / medium so I can achieve above 50 fps most of the time 🎮 if you have my Specs or higher I would Recommend the Game on the Pc Platform if you have a choice : its a looker 💻
Cringiest game of the year.
a bit
Great review bud. You've become my go to review over the last few months. Keep up the good work.
Which did you prefer, watch dogs or watch dogs 2?
Someone Else Watch Dogs 2
I'd be interested in eventually giving this a go - seems fun, never played the first one - but after putting a few dozen hours into 'The Division,' I can't bring myself to play something that looks so similar: the HUD, the worlds, the cover interaction/movement/etc. Just seems like a reskinned, non-apocalyptic 'The Division.'
Also, nice to hear that the game hasn't officially released yet and the fucking multiplayer is broken. Typical Ubisoft.
thanks man
This game is built pretty good graphic and physical simulation.
Soooooooo Polygon, Destructoid game the game a 8 and 8.5 respectively. And the game currently has a 85 on metacritic, but your opinion is that the game is a wait for a sale? I respect your opinion but that is just that, a opinion. It has been getting pretty decent reviews elsewhere so the game can't be that bad. I'll be picking this up tomorrow. I have learned that not everybody shares the same tastes and opinions. I'll play the game and judge it for myself. Also everybody who is complaining about the world being dead last time I checked Infamous Second Son didn't have a very impressive population in that game as well and it still turned out to be a pretty decent game.
just because infamous had an underpopulated game world doesn't mean that it is ok that this game or other games should follow that example.
Travis Scott wait for sale isn't a bad score on this channel it means that it is above average, around a 7 out of 10
as is theirs yes correct
ya...that is a very odd series of comparisons there lol and 2 games actually trying to do very different things with their cities too.
Then again someone saying polygon and destructoid scores are different than mine are the #1 reason most folks come here. Looks like others want agreement between everyone
ACG And I'm not faulting you for your opinions. I'm just simply pointing out while other review sites think the game is decent and you believe that the game is a wait to buy, that is two different opinions. I see so many people take others opinions to seriously and don't think for themselves. I'm just simply saying I'm not letting someone's opinion effect my purchase. The game looks like something I would enjoy, I'm not looking for a GTA V clone, my standards are not out of this world like some people these days. The game looks decent and from many of the streams I have watched on this game it looks like I will enjoy it. That is all I was pointing out. Not faulting you for making a review of the game at all.

Hey ACG! You rock man, i love your style of reviews. It's sort of like Zero Punctuation, talk fast, throw a few jokes in, and execute it perfectly. Really great work.
thanks atari
