Watch Dogs 2

[cdj]

Kotaku reporting that Watch Dogs 2 maybe out in late 2016 (http://kotaku.com/sources-next-big-assassins-creed-set-in-egypt-skippin-1750937895), replacing Ubisoft's traditional Assassin's Creed release.

A possible Ubisoft substitution for this fall’s big Assassin’s Creed could be Watch Dogs 2, which we hear will be out later this year and set in San Francisco.

Really hope that's true. I loved the original. I thought the concept was so refreshing and unique.

[Rudy]

Still never played the original. Seemed like mixed reviews on it.

[bdoughty]

It was passable and had a few interesting ideas. The lead character had the personality of a rake. Best part of the game was a mini-game. They better bring this back in the sequel.

Actually finished the main story in this one (which is rare for me in an open world game). The characters were horribly done but there is a decent game there if done right.

[cdj]

I didn't think the game lived up to the (unreasonable) hype, but I did enjoy it. If it takes the same leap Assassin's Creed did from the original to sequel, it should be a damn good game.

Now let's be fair to Ubisoft and give them all of the blame for the "unreasonable hype." When you make big downgrades to games, you kinda pushed it on yourself. Then going as far as claiming it was not downgraded (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/watch-dogs-visuals-have-not-been-downgraded-ubisoft-says/1100-6418171/), when anyone with eyes was capable of saying otherwise.

It definitely didn't live up to the hype. I never finished it either. I like it, but felt like it needed more.

[jaymo76]

I think you guys are being a little too tough on the game. Personally I thought it was great. It was like GTA except with the protagonist as a "good guy." The hacking was a fresh and unique concept and the story was very enjoyable with a bitter-sweet ending. Visuals could have been better and dialogue was pretty weak IMO but the rest made for an enjoyable title.

Good Guy? :D

Hacks into hotel, like most good guys, to steal a ton of money. Gets caught by a better hacker. Events lead to a hit on him that gets his Niece killed. Most of the game is played with Aiden being a complete dick. Did you not ever steal credit card info from unknowing individuals? Evade police while hacking into the traffic system to cause collisions with police and innocent drivers? Spied on people? Used the explosive hacks that kill a few innocent bystanders? To name a few.

Hacking through multiple cameras and creating distractions was really fresh and fun. Only to be shot down by having the final hacking stage based on pipe fitting flash games that have existed long before Watch Dogs was even a concept.

Agreed this thing was WAAAAY overhyped and never lived up to that hype, but damn did I have fun with this game. It really was a true change and breath of fresh air compared to all the usual games that come out year after year. It was different, new and fresh. I'm actually tempted to fire it up and play through the story a second time now.

Nice! Will get this for sure. #1 gave me a good 100+ hours of fun. San Fran should make for an excellent setting.

[bdoughty]

San Fran should make for an excellent setting.

In GTA it was but Rockstar is not a bunch of PC loving, overly sensitive twats. This is Ubisoft so there goes seeing homeless people pissing in the streets and a mini game allowing you to shoot the tires off hipster douche-bag cyclists acting like they own the road. As we have found out the main character is a black hacker. I am honestly more interested in seeing how certain groups react to a user controlled black character getting shot down by cops or more importantly if Ubisoft just removes gunplay and cop chases from the game. Ten plus years ago when we played GTA San Andreas, most people I know had no issue playing as CJ. Sure it might have been odd for some and there were always the racists out there that had to have a friend secretly buy the game so they could play it in mom's basement :ram?:... So we really only had racists complaining about a black character.

Now all the crazy gets to come out to have their word.

My anticipation is tepid at best. Hopefully they let us cross the bridge to play around in Oakland and Bezerkley.

November 15th release date according to IGN.

Never finished the first one. I think I got pretty far though.

I have no idea what I just watched or listened to. If someone told me it was an April Fools Joke I would probably agree.

Includes Developer Commentary and the Cinematic Trailer starting at 2:54 (https://youtu.be/m2qEYCuFxGs?t=174).

[bdoughty]

They should have put some of the gameplay in a trailer, instead of the stupid CG trailer. That stuff makes me more excited about the game.

Looks fun but graphically not really impressive. I'm sure it will improve greatly between now and release.

Jaymo this on sale at Amazon for $50 as part of their e3 special. So is Battlefront 1, gow 4 and a few other titles. They may add more.

$30 of savings. I may have to preorder. That's a great deal!

[Rudy]

Some games are $30 off but everything is 20% off minimum and you can single order instead of having to order 2 or 3 to get the deal like last year. Pretty nice. I've got like six games preordered although that can be scary since they don't send you reminders if you want to cancel.

Double the map size of Watchdogs 1. Nice!

Sounds promising. I told the wife this was #1 on my Xmas list this year.

Another $40 DLC full of crap.

http://i.imgur.com/T6b6P6x.jpg

The Zodiac mission is a pre-order bonus at many places.
30 day timed PS4 exclusive.
New difficulty option (Elite Co-op) under paywall.
Use of the word Groovy.
Hours of content.

They pretty much checked off all the shit you do not want to see in a DLC. Kudos Ubisoft.

This game is very NSFW and you might not want to let the kiddies watch you play.

Only another 30 minutes to go before I can hit the streets of San Fran. Can't wait!

Sony actually suspended the account (a Week) the guy who posted an "IN GAME" screenshot and posted it on twitter (the one in my post above) (http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/11/15/report-sony-suspends-psn-user-for-sharing-naked-screenshot-from-watch-dogs-2.aspx). :fp:

Ubisoft going to patch the naughty stuff out now. Sony goes even more batshit crazy and the suspension is now a month.

I'm really disappointed right now.

[SmoothPancakes]

I'm enjoying it so far. Put in 6 hours so far and done a couple missions. It's fun, it's kept the best of the first game and improved on the worst.

The only negative so far is the feel of the vehicles. You can just about literally turn on a dime, even at full speed, in any vehicle, and none of the vehicles feel like they have anything remotely resembling any weight to them. I also hate that things like lamp posts, telephone poles, etc are essentially made of matchsticks and air. You plow into them and they just instantly break into a couple pieces and barely do any, if at all any, damage to your car.

I definitely prefer and like it when games stick to realistic car handling and damage physics.

Over half finished the game. My favourite aspect thus far is the side quest where you "help" Nathan Pierce (from Watch Dogs 1). I like the game and think SF looks great. However, the game is a lot easier IMO than Watch Dogs 1.

Just finished the game tonight.

I agree with you....that mission was really cool and fun. Its too bad Pierce didn't show up again/more thought.

ICYMI, the latest patch tweaked the ending of the game (http://kotaku.com/a-new-patch-tweaked-watch-dogs-2s-ending-and-fans-are-1792353688). It's believed it is teasing either a DLC location or perhaps the site for WD3.

I have to play the last mission. While the game has been fun I ascertain that they made it too easy with the use of the RC stuff. That being said, the RC stuff makes the game a lot of fun so it's a catch 22.
