Current Events > Watch dogs 2 is honestly underrated.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So many avoided it because of the shitshow that was watch dogs 1. I get that. But...

*improved on the first in literally every way.
*taking itself less seriously compared to the first really allowed it to be more fun. It's all about causing pure chaotic fun.
*vastly improved on the city hacking, it's actually fun and what it always should have been.
*marcus>>>>>Aiden
*assassin's creed style parkour really benefited the game.
*San fran>>>Chicago
*lots of fun activities, and a surprisingly fun online component.
*ability to have outfits that don't make you look like a homeless man raided the dumpster behind a hot topic.
*tons of customization options

It's only real downside is that it's short in the main campaign side of things, but at least it has fun side stuff and the multiplayer side of things is fun.

It's also worth noting that despite this being a Ubisoft game, it has absolutely no microtransactions. It's only additional purchases are the additional missions, and some clothing/paint job packs that ate honestly ugly as sin compared to what's offered in the game already.

yep. so sad that it sold a mere fraction of the copies WD1 did. No-one wanted to give the series a second chance.

Watch Dogs was just that much of a cluster fuck. For a game that was hyped up so much, it's ridiculous how little idea they had of what it should be.

But what should we expect when it literally evolved from a Driver sequel

Which is a shame. It's currently $15-$20 depending on where you go right now for holiday sales, more should give it a chance. There's some real fun to be had here.

Watch dogs 2 is what watch dogs 1 should have always been.

That's really really not saying much

Watchdogs 1 is literally one of the most boring games I have ever played.

I tell no lie and say no hyperbole when I say the most fun I got out of it was the Chess Mini-games.

How is the vehicle handling in WD2? I found it utterly terrible in WD1 and was the main reason I stopped playing.

Better. Not gta5 or anything, but better.

That sounds a lot like what happened with Assassin's Creed, tbh.

Very arcadey.

You touch a fence and it explodes.

But it hardly matters, half the fun of WD2 is just making other cars and your pursuers zoom off in random directions, leaping into water and exploding

Hell yeah it is. Platinumed the fuck out of that game.

Being able to make cars drive on their own is hilarious.

That's honestly the perfect example. Watch dogs 2 is to watch dogs 1 what assassin's creed 2 was to assassin's creed 1.

If you say so.

I think AssCreed 1 was pretty good

I didn't hate it, but it's combat was pretty terrible and 90% of it's missions involved tailing people. That was a problem of most of the series honestly, but 1 had the most of it.

I bought the game a few weeks after launch because I thought it looked good, had a ton of fun but one of my only complaints was that the game strongly discouraged you from being aggressive in finishing missions by often spawning infinite enemies while not giving you the survivability to actually keep that up. It was really odd during one of the final missions where the atmosphere tells you "go in and blow shit up" but you can't because the infinitely spawning cops that show up don't let you >_>

I never really had much issue busting out my ass rifle and going to town, but I also made heavy use of gadgets and hacks. Though I will agree it strongly favors stealth.

The multiplayer was lacking. There wasnt enough replayability with bad multiplayer for me to justify the purchase.

Ill have to give it a try.

For $15-$20 It's well worth it.
