I watched Dans Gaming stream of Watch Dogs being played all the way to the end. The story was decent but I can't agree with the comments lambasting the game's story. I was intrigued enough. I'm mostly ambivalent about video games stories. At worst, I find them inoffensive and rarely do I state a definitive squandering of potential. They are what they are. Most people who state otherwise on the extreme negative end of the spectrum are simple attention whores. Is it impossible to express an opinion without hyperbole these days? Don't shout when we can hear you whisper.
I've seen enough to know that I'll enjoy the game. The one thing I'm worried about are the myriad of ways you can instantly fail a mission. Those are total immersion breakers. At least restarting at checkpoints looks generous enough and relatively pain free.
Man, as much as I want to go out and play this game, I have a huge backlog that's on pause ever since I got into my manga kick. All in due time, I suppose. I've also advanced little in the next chapter of Love Sick. I get distracted too easily.
