Who Watches The Watch Dogs?

Back at E3 of 2012, Ubisoft closed out their E3 press conference with one amazing looking trailer. The visuals and the unique concept were our first glimpse into the future. While Ubisoft was coy about what system the game would be available on, we all naturally and correctly assumed that this was not strictly a then current gen game. The game in question was Watch Dogs. Unfortunately it would be another two years before the game actually hit the market(after a delay from a PS4/X-Box One launch title to May of 2014.) Was the game worth the wait? Read on and find out.

Now before I really delve into this, I should probably cover some of the more ridiculous stories about the game. When Watch Dogs was revealed in 2012 we were presented with what amounted to a very slick, stylized technical demo. I liken it almost to the infamous Killzone 2 trailer from E3 2006. While the difference isn't extreme to that extent, as time went on there were debates over Watch Dogs' graphical quality being downgraded from the original reveal. While the game never does reach the same fidelity that we were presented with in 2012, it comes awfully close. With that out of the way, lets get down to business. I'll try to keep this light on spoilers.
