Glad you're all caught up now . I think the jokes landed REALLY well when the game was announced, because the trailer dropped right around the same time as Civil War. Then if the game had been released around now they'd be a bit flat, but still chuckle worthy...
With the game coming out and some undisclosed point in Q1 2017... *shrug* it's anyone's guess.
And yeah, you get SoT free with FbW, that's why I'm swapping from PC to PS4 for this one, I already have it on PC! Also, if you preorder from Ubisoft directly, you get Towlie as an ingame character.
