Will get it provided the reviews are good.

 

[bratpack]

Any news on when reviews will drop?

The official playlist can be heard on Spotify if you have an account.

 

[Hurricane43]

Watchdogs 2 was a big part of the Pro reveal event, it'll get a Pro update.

Yep, It's confirmed day one... Can't wait...

 

[Lightning Count]

I literally just pre ordered a copy. Maybe I will revisit the original to make sure I am ready to roll for day one.

 

[Holdfing]

The first one was kinda meh and the videos didn't convince me, so no hype at all. No hype + full price = no buy.

 

[Ooccoo]

Not sure this is something I'd be proud about.

 

[3Dprinted]

I'm in day one. I hope they improved and expanded the multiplayer portion, maybe with ranks (?) perks and unlocks. The invasion mode from the first chapter was ok, but could have been better.

EDIT: they actually expanded it quite the way i hoped for!

Happy to have it preordered now

 

[UCBooties]

Hype Level = 0

Will pick up next year if reviews are fantastic, otherwise I have no interest in the franchise.

Day 1.

The first game is one of my favourite games of this gen. I honestly have no idea why it was hated so much. Playing it through on hard and having to actually use logic with the hacking was great fun. Made it feel so different than other similar open world games.

 

[rubes7844]

I'm ready for my PS4 preload this weekend.

There was a difficulty option?
Please god just let there be multiple save files I want to play non lethal alone but be wild and crazy in coop

 

[Reckheim]

A ubisoft game? I'll just wait a couple of months for the deep discounts.

 

[Gravy Boat]

I'll get it at some point when it's cheap but it doesn't look any better than the first game in my opinion. If anything all the drone stuff makes it look less exciting.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I couldn't relate to the protagonist from the first game

I might be able to this time around though

 

[swarley64]

Not right away, but I will want to pick it up later down the line... The multiplayer invasions were SO GOOD in the first game.

 

[Yoday]

The game pre-loaded on Xbox One for me last night. 30.7GB install.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

I'll pick this up when it's $20 in 2 months

 

[reson8or]

I am not. Fool me once...

Besides, nothing about the new game does anything for me.

 

[rrrnzr]

totally in for it, loved the first one a lot. especially the hide'n'hack-multiplayer part. does anyone know if this mode is still in the sequel?

 

[KyleSmash]

Fool me once...

Bingo bango.

 

[Ashtar]

Yes it's back along with some new modes bounty hunt and free roam coop

 

[Lren]

Got my preorder in at BestBuy, really looking forward to the co-op stuff. Also really enjoyed the first game despite some of it's issues. The bounty stuff in particular looks incredibly silly and wonderful.

 

[Gaz_RB]

You know I'm there baby.

 

[AdanVC]

Totally forgot this game is coming out next week! It clearly shows that the hype for this game is not as high as with the first one. I will gladly buy it if a Nintendo Switch version shows up. I'm craving an open world game!

 

[M.W.]

You know I'm there baby.

Can't wait to watch some more hilarious Gaz streams

 

[renzolama]

I abhor the "hip hax0r" aesthetic, but if the gameplay is slick and enjoyable then I could overlook it. I'm still ashamed of my Mafia 3 purchase though, so I'll wait more time on this one regardless to see how the open world stuff plays out long term.

 

[zombipuppy]

Really dug the first one, so yes, I will be picking up 2!

 

[U2NUMB]

Pre orderd on X1 and ready to go. Loved the first one and really like what I have seen from the second.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Can't wait to watch some more hilarious Gaz streams

Haha I hope people haven't caught on to my shenanigans this time around.

 

[Topfuel]

No hype.

 

[Zurick]

How much of the game can be played co-op? Are there specific missions or can it all be done co-op? My hype is directly tied to this.

 

[thenexus6]

Christmas wish list

 

[IamAwake]

This is important to me as well. I may still get it, but if it does, then I will get it at launch.

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

My copy just arrived at the post office for me to pick up. Shame I still have 7,5 hours of work ahead of me though.

 

[Gradly]

I'm downloading the game right now, it's around 11 giga first batch and ~ 22GB total. When it's finished, I'll backup and sell my PS4 in anticipating to the PS4 Pro to arrive

Edit: The menu and UI in the first game were really great visually, not sure why it feels cluttered in this one, even the text is hardly readable

 

[Square Triangle]

Watches the lengthy seven-ish hour stream of Angry Joe's. I loved the first one, and look forward to WD2. I can't help but maybe hold off though, Ubi games always drop so fast

 

[Killer Queen]

Pre-ordered and pre loaded. No ragrets

 

[Dalibor68]

No hype, might get it sometime in the future when it's $5. Simply can't stand the hipsterness.

 

[mikelarry]

I am keeping an eye on it and waiting on reviews , hopefully it pulls AC2 evolution of the series

 

[GlamFM]

Waiting for reviews, but I'm fairly confident they will be very positive and surprise a lot of people.

 

[Gxgear]

Even if the game got rave reviews I'm stil holding out for the Ubisoft purchase pricepoint at $20.

 

[rainsten]

Such a hipster game, honestly that ad blew up in my face so many times and it's cringe

 

[Iceternal]

I could (barely) tolerate the tone of the game if the story was good and the antagonist interesting.... but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Seriously, that Douchan guy is the main villain ?!

 

[Aters]

Such a hipster game, honestly that ad blew up in my face so many times and it's cringe

I feel like the game tries too hard to be "cool". I'd think it's cool if I were in highschool. Now I think it's stupid. Plus it's a Ubisoft openworld game, hype level 0.

 

[Lucifon]

Waiting for reviews, but I'm fairly confident they will be very positive and surprise a lot of people.

I'd be shocked if they weren't, game is awesome imo. And I really wasn't a fan of the first, thought it was fine but dull and uninspired. This is a lot of fun. The slightly cringey tone from the trailers actually allows the game to have alot more personality and leads to some amusing missions. It's got far more personality than the first and definitely tries to emulate GTA5's black humour style. I can't wait to play more of the online, hoping they get seamless online enabled by launch though.

 

[finalflame]

Good reviews = buy. I've been hurt before.

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Boy, I dunno about this. I never finished the first one, but I did enjoy it. Mostly because of its surprisingly somber tone. The commercials I've seen for Watch Dogs 2 lead me to believe that's all out the window now. The main character's design is a major turnoff for me, too. I might give it a chance somewhere down the road, but I'm definitely in no rush.

 

[smudge]

I'll wait for reviews and performance feedback of the PC version before I dive in. Also curious about how good the driving is as it was terrible in the first one. It isn't like I don't have an abundance of games right now to play so I can wait.
