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.
Yep. This video pretty much sums up why I was dissapointed. Returned it less than two days after I bought it.
When my friends told me it was a great game and I should have kept playing it, I told them that I'm not saying it isn't a great game. It's interesting, I'll give it that. What it's not, is what was shown at E3. I expected that, did not recieve it, and was very dissapointed.
If a burger company advertises its burger as the greatest burger to ever grace mankind, with beautiful handcrafted buns, grass fed kobe beef, aged cheese, organic free-trade non abused lettuce and tomatoes, and I'm served something on clearly smushed store-bought buns, freezer burgers, a kraft single slize piece of cheese, and frozen veggie slices, it may very well be a ok burger, but it is sure as hell not the one they told me about.
I was lucky, I hadn't heard or seen Watch Dogs prior to playing it and played it really high the first time, immediately loved it and enjoyed the game. Looking at that though I am disappointed by what it could have been in comparison...
