    To be fair to Sligeach, nowhere near as much as in the past, and he's an excellent poster.

    Though I know the post earlier was meant to be in jest.

    We do have a really good little community here, and I love being part of it.

    Dawwwww.... You guys!

    No! Not only is it a mediocre game, the Wii U version is the worst version.

    Yeah, it's a bit expensive for a spare WiiU box and a Watchdogs themed coaster

    I'd put money on that becoming a rare game. Worth picking up for a tenner for that reason I'd say

    GameStop have 3 for 2 on pre-owned (which are priced at less the €9.99 each). I've seen Ninja Gaiden Wii U, Watchdogs Wii U and Project Steam 3DS at €9.99 each used. All three for €19.98. Can't be so bad. Works across any title.

    Watchdogs gets way too much stick. It's a good game.

    Watchdogs doesn't get enough stick, it is a neatly packaged mix of several elements, disappointment, familiarity and sadness.
    It cribs relentlessly from games that are better than it or from games that have had their style over-exposed with annual releases, and it just wound up a boring load of scenery chewing dour nonsense with visuals that themselves managed to over promise then utterly disappoint.
    And that's before we get to the much delayed, over hyped, worst of the bunch, WiiU port.
    This was a game whose only positive contribution to make was, for a time, it was cheap to buy and so use as fodder in CEX, to get a decent game instead.

    Haha. Ah, I just think people were pis*ed off after the difference between the E3 showing and the final release. It's an ok game imo, but between that and AC Unity I'll never trust Ubisoft again.

    Yeah people lost there minds over the graphics, but once you get over that, it's a game with some good ideas and decent variety of missions. I forgave Ubi with Syndicate, which is a million times better than Unity.

    Nothing wrong with people having differing opinions,
    I love plenty of games others detest, and detest some "classics" as well.
    But Watchdogs, if you have to play it you'd be best with the PS4 or PS3 versions.

    Yep, I doubt it is that good. But as part of a 3 for 2 (which includes Ninja Gaiden and Codename Steam) I guess it's ok for about €6.50 each. Even if it's just a few hours of fun. CEX still give €6 back for it, and €9 back for Steam. So play and trade and get the money back :)

    Where's the cheapest place to get a wiiu? Looking in adverts and they're all a bit dear. Basic model, not worried about memory and doesn't need games.
    Although if there's a cheap Mario maker bundle somewhere, that would be ideal.

    Up North? You could get a discount basic from cex for £118.

    Might be a idea. I forgot to check cex here.

    Edit: just did and they're looking for almost €200 for the same system. Do cex uk deliver to Ireland?

    Where is the cheapest to get a New 3DS?

    Either on its own or with a game. Everywhere seems to be around the 200 mark but I would have thought you could get one a bit cheaper these days.

    Also not interested in the XL just needs to be the normal NEW 3DS.

    Thanks...

    Have a look at the amazon de warehouse Eg open boxed ones. They csn be very cheap and only like 7 euros to post to Ireland.

    I paid 140 for my new 3ds xl with 1 game there a few months ago one of the best bargains of my life
