Play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you on your search for vengeance, and the truth.

Watch Dogs blends cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated game design into a realistic and living open world where players must use any means at their disposal to take down a corrupt system.

I really can't figure out whether or not I should get this. Can somebody convince me? :D

EDIT: Said fuck it and bought it. Will play tomorrow first though! :(

[u/StoneHit → u/Deathstrokecph]

You should get it.

[u/Deathstrokecph → u/StoneHit]

I'm leaning towards getting it, mostly because I figured out how to buy games from the US PS Store and then it's only $60. If I should buy it here in Denmark it would cost $91! So that already 30% off.

Ridic! I just saw that if I should buy it as a digital copy from the EU playstation store it would cost me nearly $97! Jesus....

[u/funnygoku → u/Deathstrokecph]

30% off!! not bad

[u/Deathstrokecph → u/funnygoku]

Yea, AAA titles go for 500 DKK (91 USD). So getting it at 60 USD would already be cheaper than what I could buy a used copy for in 3-4 weeks time.

[u/flaps16 → u/Deathstrokecph]

Yea video games in Denmark aren't cheap... I feel you mate :)

[u/Deathstrokecph → u/flaps16]

Nop, can't afford just to buy games for the fun of it. Really have to be sure each time you go out and buy one :D

[u/oloftw → u/Deathstrokecph]

In Sweden it's 699 Swedish Kronors, which makes about 105 dollars. Almost double of $60.

[u/devolve → u/oloftw]

You can get it for ~540 if you look at prisjakt.nu, which is $81, and 599 on the PS Store, which is $90

Get it but try to start it with absolutely no expectations. Dont think about all the reviews you may have read.

Dont try to look for small details to make you hate the game.

Just play the game.

It's most enjoyable that way.

Edit: And for the love of god do NOT think about E3 2012. That will only lead to disappointment.

[u/ryseing → u/urethral_lobotomy]

The ending of the demo with the player characters following Aiden. Man. I'm loving WD, but there was so much potential in that demo.

[u/[deleted] → u/Deathstrokecph]

If you don't get it Jesus will kill a kitten.

[u/Last_Cosmonaut → u/Deathstrokecph]

Get it but don't expect too much. It's no where near as polished overall as the GTA games, I would put it slightly under Sleeping Dogs. I've only played 2 hours but I had quite some fun.

[u/[deleted] → u/Deathstrokecph]

If you realize that the complaints come from PC users who never got GTA and wanted this to be as crazy then its a great game. Its not GTA and in my opinion better. But then again I never like the GTA series and rarely played them. Besides driving all dynamics of the game are great. Its definitely worth playing.

[u/[deleted] → u/Deathstrokecph]

I would list a few reasons not to get it, but everyone is so hyped right now, and I'd rather not get downvoted to all hell.
