Watch Dogs 2 Review
Added 2016-11-20 13:45:45 +0000 UTCWithout further ado, here's my review for Watch Dogs 2. Since Ubisoft started having online troubles before launch, I purposely waited to see how things would pan out. The result is that the company disabled most of the online functionality before the game launched to keep it from interfering with the single player experience. As of now they're hoping to flip the switch back on this weekend, but the last notice made no guarantees.
I definitely think Ubisoft made the right call, and for the review, I made sure to reflect both the current tentative status preventing players from getting the full experience as well as illustrating the severe issues that led to the decision in the first place.
Aside from that, I've enjoyed Watch Dogs 2 overall, and I think they've made some key improvements that could be an indicator in changes to the company's future games as well.
Our ratings: 5 Stars - Masterful, 4 Stars - Excellent, 3 Stars - Decent, 2 Stars - Inferior, 1 Star - Terrible

2016-11-24 23:01:51 +0000 UTCThe music that starts in this review about the 1:28 mark. Is that from the game or something else? I am really digging that.

2016-11-24 18:41:36 +0000 UTCYeah CensorErik I do the same thing all the time and most of the times I can predict the score. That's a good sign I guess as it means the final score actually reflect what's in the review.
2016-11-22 09:42:25 +0000 UTCThere's a fun little game I play when I watch EZA reviews. I did it in the GT days as well. I try to predict the game's score based on the first sentence of the review. I'm correct about 90% of the time since you guys started using a 5-star rating. Sometimes that second sentence gets me second guessing myself. Anyway, I was just wondering if any other Allies try to predict the score before it's revealed as well. Also, I agree with this score and I wonder if the online mechanics were fully functioning if maybe the score would've improved to 4.5 stars.

2016-11-20 20:42:14 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for Bloodworths' review before I decided to pick up this game. Unfortunately, this game will be on the backburner for me since I have FFXV and Rise of the Tomb Raider to finish. I will definitely pick this up though. Thank you for your review, Bloodworth. This time, I won't steal your words :P
2016-11-20 16:25:45 +0000 UTCThanks for the fantastic review, Bloodworth! And kudos for elaborating on the missing/faulty online mode. Cheers!
