Is this what they've been going on about for so long? It's pretty crappy, cars bounce off walls and take LOADS of damage and handle like on air - extremely arcadey. Does look very nice though with all details set at ultra and the map zooms right out and then back down into the game and there is the whole of the US to drive in. Not sure if that's seamless or 'zoned' though as no way could I suffer anymore boredom to get that far.

I forced myself to play but won't be playing again...

So, Ubisoft basically took Watch Dogs and removed all the hacking elements and GTA-style 3rd person stuff, but kept the idiotic damage and driving modelling, gave it a lame story and called it a new game? wink


Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

That's what is called "shareholder value". biggrin

And Ubisoft seems to be excelling at that. They are basically re-releasing the same game over and over again. biggrin

You have to assassinate targets from the 18th Century too.
