I’ve gushed before about how much I enjoy the Watch_Dogs games, even though there’s very few similarities between Watch_Dogs 1 and 2. Hacking with a cellphone is just a fun game mechanic. Plus, they’re making a Watch_Dogs movie which apparently finished filming in September. Of course, we’ll see if the movie ever gets a release. Who knows anymore.

    I couldn’t get over the idea of installing spyware to play a game about how survailence is bad

    I loved both for very different reasons. I loved the serious story of the first one and the flamboyant positivism of the second. I haven’t played the latest, but I watched someone play the dlc and loved the closure of Aiden Pearce.

          I finished it, but the whole random npc to protagonist pipeline left it feeling too generic, especially when the first two games had strong central characters. Not likely a game I’ll bother replaying.

            On the other hand, to me it felt like that the movement was more important than the individuals themselves.

            What I did was to wait at MI6 building at the start of the game to have a « full » spy (watch, suppress pistol and spy car) and pretend s/he was the protagonist

    Enjoyed the first one more than the second. The gritty story of the first one matched better with the gameplay available. It really irked me in the second one how the characters would keep keep saying they were the good guys while I murdered everyone in a building. No attempt in matching the gameplay availble to what the characters stood for.

      I can’t find anything to substantiate this, think you may have dreamt it up or fell for a 4chan goof.

        At the time he seems to have been critical of game producers because they didn’t want gay/lesbian protagonists for economic reasons. But, yeah, you will not find a termination notice anywhere.
