So hey, with the $14 GMG credit (or $10 cash back), on the deluxe, or $9/$12 on the non deluxe, any opinions on if this game is worth getting?
I've not heard much about it.
The hacking stuff is definitely interesting, though the last minute 6-month delay is a major cause for concern. A game needs to be pretty damn broken for a publisher to delay it at the last second for that length of time, especially when it was supposed to be a launch title for a new generation of consoles.
Then there's the issue of how Ubisoft typically handles open-world games. That is, with an excessive amount of generic collectibles and generic, repetitious side missions. They definitely focus on quantity rather than quality and Watch_Dogs may be no different.
Will definitely be waiting for reviews.
One thing I haven't seen any confirmation on is if the Steam version requires Uplay. It's not listed in the requirements like it is for other games requiring Uplay.
It will definitely require Uplay regardless of where you buy it. All of Ubisoft's first-party games require Uplay.
