One huge caveat/punishment Ubisoft implemented is when you do turn off the Online Option, all your skills accumulated are reset to zero. You read that right. They all get reset to zero. All the online-specific skills reset to zero as punishment for not wanting to play online, something which is entirely disappointing. Either you keep getting invaded, or you get punished for wanting to play sometimes and not other times with the online mode.

I wonder if Ubisoft paid IGN enough money for a 9/10.... I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

 

I had no interest in this game anyway.

That's pretty common tho. Many publishers pay them for ads or give strong wording. Some ven send instruction manuals how to review it. It's why Pro website reviews are often full of BS giving so many hyped broken pieces of trash massive scores.

There's been far too much backpedaling with this game. It kind of reminds me of Spore.

And to think, I was ridiculed on here for saying the game looks poor.

 

I can smell a pile of crap a mile off.

I don't think it looks poor at all, still very much looking forward to it .... on PS4.

 

That review is awful, they don't seem to say much about the single player at all, positive or negative.  They just talk about the story and a little about the mechanics, not if the missions are actually fun.  Then they moan about the multi-player being lacking, not something I am really bothered about.

 

I mean its a shame it doesn't have coop play, but its not the end of the world.

So... Ubisoft hired Don Mattrick to oversee Watch Dogs? Lol

Game is losing potential customers every day.

Apparently this review may well be based on a beta version of the game and not the final version. If so it has no credibility at all.

That's pretty common tho. Many publishers pay them for ads or give strong wording. Some ven send instruction manuals how to review it. It's why Pro website reviews are often full of BS giving so many hyped broken pieces of trash massive scores.


That's a pretty naive and unfounded statement.

If it was a beta I hope that quoted part isn't true for the full release. I occasionally lose my internet connection while playing games. It would really suck to have to restart because of that.

Why doesn’t Mario have an absurd crotch buldge holding in his 10 inch slice of manhood? Why doesn’t Yoshi look like a Fist of the North Starcharacter.

WOW that is some world class irony. Paid for/pr 'reviews' is a massive contemporary epidemic...

Its not even something exclusive to videogames.

Very, very, clearly, the naive one is you.

He might be right about the fake review though. I also couldn't find anything about Ali through google. Also Bricky seems like awesome.

He was with a bunch of other boys, one of whom showed off a copy of Playboy to giggles and intense interest. Todd bought the magazine for $5, tore out the racy pictures and resold them to his chums for a buck apiece. He made $20 before his father shut him down a few hours later.

 

^Tom is a boss.

There is no irony in it and what I said is true. You make it sound like this issue is far larger then it is which is absolute rubbish. If anyone is naive or rather gullible enough to believe one newspaper article its you.
