Watch Dogs
 

Anyone heard anything about this?

It's out in like 3 days I believe and it actually looks pretty good! Sort of similar to GTA5 - open world, crime etc etc

I've only just found out about it so thought I'd let you guys know. I will probably buy it!

Looks great.

The online looks good too. You jump into other people's single player games to attack them.

**EDIT**

Might go for it next weekend. I'll wait and see what the other halfs nephew thinks of it first before i splash out lol

I just can't believe I've heard nothing about it until today!

I'm starting to get bored of GTA online now lol so I'll probably buy this - Got a nice new 40" Tv today so can test it out.

Is it worth spending a bit on a decent HDMI cable? or are the cheap ones not much different?

Personal preference.
Personally I would go for a 1.4 cable. I know the 2.0 ones are out but they handle mostly 4k resolutions, which am guessing your not on currently. If your new tv aint 3D you could go for the 1.3 variant. Small details on the differences between them and what you see on screen.

Just for the record guys, you can purchase this NOW

Argos self service tills are allowing the game to be sold. Go to the self service till and use catalogue number: 139/4399 and pay. You'll also receive 2 £10 gift vouchers.

DO NOT go to a normal manned till. They will refuse you!

Sound I may get a better one then. Not sure what version mine is but it was dead cheap and unbranded!

Seriously? Have you done it personally?

I would go and try but its a waste of a journey if I can't get it lol

After posting last night I did a little reading and realised my info is correct but they are now not allowed to call them different versions 1.0,1.2 etc. They all have diff names, I couldn't tell you which is which now. Higher up range you go though does not mean you have to spend a lot. My cable cost £40, but I could prob plug a £10 maplins one in and I prob wouldn't see that many differences.

O rly?

I tried earlier and it was a no-go in Lincoln. That was a tiny store however.

Plenty of people are reporting that they've got it at bigger stores this way. There's even a reddit thread somewhere.

**EDIT**

I've preordered it with Game today. I'll be collecting it at midnight tomorrow (32 hours or so)

Think I'm just going to wait till Tuesday to be honest. See if I can find it for less than £45!

Interesting that the publishers are not allowing official reviews to be released until it's released and those who have independently reviewed it haven't given it rave reviews and they are being denounced by the publisher as fake. I'll wait and see as the concept sounds good

A few mates have it and have said its heaps of fun.

There are plenty of video reviews on Youtube with nothing but praise. It looks like awesome fun.

As above^^

Just what I read last week when I was looking for info. I have no personal experience with it :p

Its out tomorrow isnt it? Might go n buy it as ive took a week off and ive got nothing to do haha

Picked this up a couple of hours ago and so far, i'm quite impressed.

I only played the single player enough to complete the tutorials and unlock the multiplayer side.

1v1 hacking: This was the one that interested me. The idea behind this is that you're just another person in somebody elses game. You've got to hack their phone without being found. You look like a regular NPC to the person you're attacking. If you get caught, you have to escape. No killing is allowed. I tried hacking a couple of people and it's pretty hard. The further into the hack you get, the smaller the search zone gets revealing your position.

Team Decryption: This is pretty much team death match. It's a 4v4 with a twist. There is a file on the map that you need to collect and decrypt. If you get the file, keep it. Also, you decrypt the file quicker with team mates close to you. It makes it a lot more team orientated. The twist is that they haven't got to kill you to take the file. If they're in range for long enough, they take it wirelessly. First team to decrypt the file wins.

Online racing: Pretty much says it all to be honest.

That's all i've managed so far. I'll post more when I know more!

Sounds good! What's the story mode/free mode like?

I'll see how much it is in Tesco later and maybe buy it!

Without spoilers, a job goes wrong and your niece is killed in a revenge attack. You're looking for the attacker.

Haven't really tried free mode yet. Story mode is pretty good!

It seems to be getting solid 8/10s on reviews everywhere. Although I have it downloaded I wont get to try it til tonight or tomorrow as Im working my arse off on the car :(

Been playing this today. Its a bit weird to get used to all the hacking n that but its alright. Its definitely not as good as GTA tho. Just don't seem to want to play it as much and get bored quickly.

This is what I wanted to know. I suppose it would have to be exceptional to be better than GTA.

I might go get a copy today - if its shit I'll stick it on eBay!

Is it just me who thinks GTA is way overhyped? The storys not bad, but the game mechanics are pretty unchanged since gta3, and theres some pretty ropey popup. Multiplayer is good for a while but I dont think Ive tired of a multiplayer game as quickly, perhaps only matched by Titanfall.

Depends what you like really. I love GTA. I went back to GTA4 after 5 came out and it's totally different.


Just bought Watch Dogs, I had to buy a new HDD though as mines pretty much full. Just waiting for it to install.

Anyone ever transferred data from one HDD to another? As I'd like it all on one really.....I've had a quick look online but it seems rather complicated :wacko:

there was an xbox transfer lead at one time that did exactly that. I used it when moving from my old gen 1 360 to the smaller black one, feck knows where the cable is though :S

You cant even shoot out of cars. Ffs

Yep. It's alot shitter than I was expecting haha. The driving is absolutely awful too.

Think it'll be going on ebay tonight, 1 day auction and I'll get most my money back hopefully!

As I understand you need 2 Xboxs though?

To be honest I might not need to do it - I want my GTAV online stuff but surely I should be at the same level on my new HDD? Obviously I'll lose my story mode file which I'm not too bothered about but my online should be the same.
All I'll have to do is install the game again.

If you have an external HDD then I think you can format it or a partition of it to allow the Xbox to read/use it. Once plugged in you should then be able to move your data across via the console. Install the new HDD then move the data from the external HDD to the new one, again via the console.

A bit long winded but pretty sure it works.

jay does that trick still work in Argos ?

I used the said cable with one broken Xbox (release day model to a 250gb slim model) All it did was download the stuff from the old memory unit to the new one
