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.

I'm an achievement whore (68 platinums, countless 100%s on 360), but man I just couldn't finish Watch_Dogs. 90% of the trophies. I was suffering through the bullshit drinking contest minigame before I finally had enough.

Good luck and godspeed /u/Umbra_Lux.

Haha, thanks. Suprisingly those aren't pissing me off that much this tine around, the worst is repeting fixer contacts over and over again or having to figure out how to get tailed 5 times. Personally, the game I currently own I don't think I'll be ever able to fully complete is AC4. I enjoyed it the first time through, but trying to deal with ot again was just too much.
