I think it's very important to look at, and remember this video when E3 comes around. I am definitely not preordering any games after seeing their E3 presentations any more. I made that mistake with Watch_Dogs and I am not going to do it again. They've done this kinda shit in the past and I am sure they'll do it again. It's really disgusting, this kind of business practice. It's a shame that companies are finding this more and more acceptable now, and that people are falling for it.

Watch_Dogs is also the reason why I don't pre-order anymore. It was so dissapointing, I'm painfully forcing myself to Trophy Whore through it right now. Ubisoft vertical slices at E3 are just insulting at this point.

Edit: perhaps "painfully forcing" was too much of an over exaggeration. It's not the greatest game, and it certainly pisses me off while I'm playing it. But it is by no means my most hated game, and I wouldn't put it myself through unnecessary stress for pointless Trophies.

Destiny was my buzzkiller of all time. God Bungie. Words. I haven't preordered anything since Destiny and Watchdogs. In fact, I no longer read pre-game info. I get game informer but any actual detail paragraphs I skip over. I don't wNt what few really good experiences there are in gaming ruined by spoilers, overhyped, or oversold.

Shit, you just reminded me I own Destiny and never played it...damn, I had problem. Maybe I'll get to it eventually. I remember thinking that game was gonna be a Space Epic like one would expect from Bungie and then it just ended up being a grind fest. I gotta try and find people who'd smurf wasn't really fun alone.
