I'm on my weekly walk and I notice more dogs than usual. I swear everybody decided to walk their dogs today, and why not? Because Watch Dogs got released. I crossed my fingers and prayed that the game would turn out well because I like games to be good. Everybody loses if a game turns out bad. Only losers revel in vindication because nothing else in life gives them satisfaction, the sad, pathetic, little wretches.
I started off with Chris Smoove's videos and that set me down the path to oblivion. I watched streams of the game all day on Twitch. I'm definitely intrigued and I'll probably play it some day. I'll be waiting a long time though. Never full price on day one ever again. I've seen the same missions played enough times that I could complete them with my eyes closed at this rate. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm compromising my future experience by watching everything.
I watched Chris Smoove's LP of Tomb Raider and when I finally played it a year later, I did feel deja vu. But there's nothing quite like playing a game for yourself. That's why we play games. At least watching these streams staves off the hype to get something new and shiny in my console right now. Gotta stay economical.
