Why? Get a $70 game with the system. Dont like the game? Its not for you.
I was at ebgames and they had a similar bundle for 469
Is it cold because you can buy a destiny bundle for the same price? That white destiny bundle looks pretty star wars futuristic.

It's a terrible game. Bad graphics, boring repetitive gameplay. There's a reason they decided to throw in this game for free instead of something good, it's awful.

The fact that it's WatchDogs makes it a cold deal. :razz:

Selling Watch_Dogs on PS4 is pretty hard... when I got that Shop.ca deal with this and an extra controller, I tried to sell the sealed copy for $40 and still nobody wanted anything to do with it. The game has a very bad reputation.

They did a similar deal with inFamous during E3 at this price for a few days, that was a much better deal.

Even if you take the price of the game off the sticker price, you're still paying basically what the PS4 cost at launch.

It definitely does, after having such a hard time selling it I just opened it and played it and it's nowhere near as bad as people say. It is extremely repetitive and bland, but so are half of the other games out there. It has a certain charm to it; the way most objects in the world break into perfectly segmented portions at the slightest touch is hilarious to me. It's bad in some ways but hilarious in others. And there is definitely enough content to last a long time.

But if you intend on selling the game expecting to get money back then it might be too late. It's already going on sale at a few places at $45-$50, and many people have a sour taste in their mouth following all the negative press it received post-launch.

I agree that arguing over tastes is somewhat pointless...but IMO, it's not terrible or awful, as some people would lead you to believe. Ride to Hell, is a terrible game. Watch Dogs, is a game that didn't live up to the hype, but it's not awful.

The game has some great concepts, and sometimes they work very well. The levels where you had to use the cameras to guide people to objectives were very smart and enjoyable, in my opinion. The world also is pretty alive, and there's a lot to do.

It does have some notable downsides. Yes, the mission selection can by very repetitive, especially for the side quests. I think there are something like 40 'fixer' quests, for example, and only three different tasks to do! The graphics are also a bit disappointing given initial expectations, though far from 'terrible.' They're a definite downgrade from E3 3012 and won't compare well with next gen games by mid-generation, but to call them ugly is unfair, in my mind, especially given the complexity of the open world Ubisoft has created. The night lighting effects are actually pretty impressive looking, especially in the rain. Day doesn't work so well, but it's not like it's ugly either. Oh, and the driving really didn't seem all that bad to me, which was the other big complaint.

Watch Dogs 2 has the potential to be amazing. There's a great core there. It's just not fully realized in this first game. Sort of like Assassin's Creed 1, which while not awful, wasn't a home run either.

Watch_Dogs is alright, it shouldn't have been an open world game though.

Watch_Dogs is a fair GTA knock off, where the hacking amounts to the tear mechanic from Bioshock Infinite. The story is without a doubt one of the worst in gaming, and the protagonist is a wholly unlikable and unrelatable sociopath. Multiplayer is a game of hide and seek, which I found to be quite fun but not something I'm inte. To say the game has "bad graphics" is hilarious, it's the best looking open world game there is.

GTAV gives it a run for its money, and GTAV PS4 will trounce it.

lol UBI games...always the same pattern: super hyped pre-lease, super boring gameplay, super fast price drop (technically it's free now with only 2 months post release if you're buying a ps4?)
