That's hilarious if true. I've always wondered why companies don't do stuff like that more often in order to try and cut down on piracy.

And it would be a way to make some money back. Someone was bitching that it's Illegal to do that. Now they know how it feels

It seems that GameFly cancelled my preorder I had with them and never bothered to inform me in any way. Dickheads.

I'm thinking we see that, too. Like 7.8 or 8.3.

That's just an actual map of Chicago... unless you posted that for comparison's sake?

Still trying to decide if I should get this or The Show. I'm thinking I should wait a year on MLB since first versions aren't usually as good as they could be. This game looks cool, and I'm from Chicago (not enough Chitown based games out there)

EDIT: I went ahead and pre-ordered this since I had a Best Buy GC, RZ cert, and they give $10 in rewards for pre-ordering. If it ends up being crap I can throw it up on ebay.

Gamefly shipped this friday

Hopefully get it tomorrow or wednesday

Not expecting much from it i just want something new and shiny to play

not a very glowing review here: http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2014/0...me-review.html

from all accounts the game is destined to be a victim of its own hype

main complaints will be that the graphics are not what was "promised" on consoles ... what I've seen in just streaming looks good, not inFAMOUS good in most places but better in others

driving mechanics by all accounts are way loose and horrible to control other than the motorcycle .... also jives with what I have seen but I am not buying this game for its driving sim abilities

other than that it is going to come down to the gameplay and how engaging the story and variety of things you can do are

as for the easy to make comparisons to Rockstar's IPs ... other than the initial newness of GTA III I have never cared to go deep into any of the GTA games or RDR ... To me they are boring slogs with uninteresting stereotypical characters

I'm going to give Watch Dogs a shot (trading in inFAMOUS) but I am keeping my expectations in check
I wish I could say I thought this would be the first 10/10 type next gen game but I know that will not be the case and that we probably won't see something like that until ND releases the next in the Uncharted series

here's a more positive review from someone on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments...w_no_spoilers/

If the graphics are not that great on PS4 and Xbox 1, does that mean PS3 or 360 versions won't look that inferior? I've been really looking forward to this title, but haven't made the leap to the new consoles. I felt really burned by Wolfenstein on PS3. The graphics were awful PS2 quality. Thief looked and played great though.

I'm tired of hearing about the graphics as the chief complaint. I want to play the game for the gameplay not the eye candy (or lack thereof).

I more or less agree. Playability is far more important. The Flickering Myth review actually got me more excited, as when one of these sites says a game is too "easy", it usually means the right level of challenge for me. I find most of these sorts of games to be frustratingly hard and usually give up on them after a couple of weekends.

The complaints aren't so much about the graphics themselves, but how they initially misrepresented the game by showing graphics that were way better than the reality. If they were up front and honest about the graphics from the get go, it'd be a non-issue. They pretty much fucked themselves on that front. The internet doesn't forget.

Well I never paid attention to the graphics, or the early previews, so it doesn't bother me. I'll enjoy the game, mediocre review or great review. If someone claims it can be finished in 15 hours or 70 hours, I'll have fun.

Is anyone going to get this at midnight? I'm thinking about it.

I'm watching a stream of a pretty hot German girl playing it and it and honestly it reminds me of the first couple of True Crime games.

I might. Depends on how I feel tonight.

Time to wait for the typical Ubisoft price drop.

I'm still shocked there has yet to be a price drop on AC4 for next gen. It has to be any day now!

There have been plenty of sales on it.

nope, too many good deals floating around for street
I'll happily take the $25 off the 12 month Plus sub with purchase at full price

I thought that too, but there's another way. You can access Cartwheel through a web browser, and print the barcode from a PC.

I found this solution after finding out the cartwheel app requires iOS 7.

Just go to http://cartwheel.target.com/

thanks
