    Not even Watch Dogs looks any good. I mean yeah, visually it's porn, but gameplay-wise it just seems like another Grand Theft Auto clone. Why is anybody getting excited about this shit?

    God I'm fucking depressed now, so far the "best" games I've seen have been a rehash of Rayman Origins and a GTA copy-pasta. I realize these are the big publishers so it's all going to be uncreative, over-polished crap anyway, but would it be too much to ask for a game that isn't yet another shooter, with an interesting setting and visual style, that wasn't coming from an indie studio or aimed at the casual market? Just one?

    I hate third person shooters. The player character in that Watch Dogs clip took up like a third of the damn screen.

    Sony conference is starting. This one should be rife with decline.

    lots and lots of emotionally engaging, yawn inducing gaming coming from the creators of Heavy Rain, another yawn-fest

    What, a game about the 2003 North American power outage but in a cyberpunk alternative universe? I don't get this.

    I certainly can't wait until the inevitable point where games are literally just movies with quick time events once in a while.

    Between Sony's PR bullshit and Ubi's failed attempts at being funny and coming across as borderline racist, I'll take Ubi's approach, thank you very much!

    As always, Sony's strategy revolves around exclusives and nothing else.

    I like it how both Microsoft and Sony are using Ubi's and Activision's games in their conferences, which would, otherwise have been devoid of anything worth of any notice.
