Sure, it’s easy enough for us to call our game highly anticipated. After all, we saw the copious comments from the community and amongst the media – all that lovely chatter about how everyone can’t wait to get their paws on Watch Dogs. And, after a modest delay, we couldn’t wait to deliver Ubisoft Montreal’s innovative take on the open-world adventure. The good news: You really meant it. In its first 24 hours of availability, Watch Dogs sold more copies than any previous title in Ubisoft’s history!

“Watch Dogs is an amazing achievement and our teams should be proud that the creativity, innovation and long hours they invested in making this game are paying off,” said Ubisoft’s co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot. “It’s great to see so many customers enjoy playing the game, and it shows that Watch Dogs has cracked the code for developing a new blockbuster IP and a thoroughly new-gen experience.”

People really love those broken, boring ass 5 hour long enjoyment games.

Mostly PS4 copies I'm sure, starving for a game.

Haven't seen such a GTA clone since Saints Row.

 

Poor game, poor effort Ubisoft.

[Big Boss]

I kind of want to play it but at that price? Helllll nah.

[xile6]

It's a pretty good game.
Yea it's a bit of Saints row and gta. But hell most open world games will be.

It does how ever play smooth and it's fun to play.
The side miss on brings back that saints row crazyness.
The main story is there tho and it works.

So Yea don't knock it till you played it.

Oh yeah none because Ubi bucked us over.

it also has by far the largest marketing budget of any ubisoft game.

[Mewbot]

Focus. Instead of having one cohesive quality product you get an average and in some cases below average pile of garbage.

[syks-1]

I like it so far. I have the ps4 version and have no complaints. But while playing, I noticed some moments where having the Wii U game pad would of come in handy. The world is awesome, sometimes I like snooping on some people and listening to what's happening in their lives.

This is not the defining game of the start of this gen, but by no means is it an awful game. I played it for about6 good hours on my ps4 and it's solid, the game doesn't add anything really new to the genre. Still it manages to combine Splinter Cell and Assassina Creed plus GTA5 and make a solid 8.
