Per Audacia Ad Astra

SUPPLEMENTS
-Game Demo
-Trailer
-Wikipedia article
-Image 1, Image 2, Image 3
-For Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
-Singleplayer & Multiplayer (Co-Op)
-Involves hacking and surveillance
-Built around the concept of information warfare
-Set in alternate reality version of Chigaco, Illinois
-Development began in 2010
This game seems like a free-roamer crossed with the 'gadget-use' aspect seen in Batman: Arkham Asylum/City. There's also the bullet time seen in Max Payne and True Crime.

I can't see myself buying this if all you do is use your phone to manipulate the environment, especially when GTA V will be thriving all over the video game industry.

Watch Dogs certainly looks better than Sleeping Dogs.
But if I can identify elements of a new game that are used in other games before it, is that a bad thing for the game itself?

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

SUPER excited for this game!

Basically, it's a blog of mine that focuses on military and policy related issues. Feel free to bookmark it and PM me any ideas you have to improve its quality. I hope you enjoy it!

The concept of information warfare is most definitely one of immense interest to me, so I'll most likely end up picking the game up.

Disregard Females, acquire currency.

I'm excited. Looks very interesting.

My troll sense is tingling.

The moment I saw the demo at E3, I started throwing money at the screen. I am now preparing a wallet catapult aimed at Ubisoft Montreal.

If you can get through the game without killing anyone, I'll buy it day one.

Why would you want that?

In the linked demo [US version if blocked in your country] the antagonist kills a man which seems to be part of the mission.

Its a challenge and shows how open the game is. see: Mirrors Edge & Deus Ex.

Considering that there is a mission where you have to kill someone (unless some choice system isn't shown yet), I doubt it will meet that.

I don't like killing people in video games. Plus I love being stealthy. Mirrors Edge is a fantastic game because of this.

Metal Gear features it pretty prominently as well. I wouldn't say that I dislike killing people in games but I don't like it either.

Throughout the e3 gameplay I was watching with a friend, I just couldn't help myself but to shout out how astonishing it looks. Doesn't happen very often for me.

Super excited.

  • 11.29.2012 2:25 PM PDT

I'd forgot about this game, which is strange considering I thought it looked really good at E3. I'll probably buy it.

Basically this, sans the friend and the shouting.

Reach for the stars

Saw the game demo at E3. It looks interesting, so I might pick one up when it comes out.

  • 11.29.2012 2:33 PM PDT

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

There is no doubt that Watch Dogs took E3 by storm earlier this year, definitely excited about the game, cant wait to learn more about it.

Take me into your heart! Accept me as your savior! Nail me to the -blam!- cross, and let me be reborn!

When I saw the E3 Demo, I wa blown away. Seriously, I haven't seen a game that impressive for a long time (well, Skyrim and Skyward Sword looked impressive to me). I've been keeping both eyes on Watch Dogs since the announcement.
