Watch_Dogs 2 |OT| .HTML

Austin Walker of Waypoint had some pretty positive things to say about the game's characters on yesterday's podcast, though he said he's only just at the end of the first act.
 
I second this. Honest impressions are what I need as well. Worth $60? Wait for a sale? I can buy it right now for $37 with BB Unlocked and $10 gift cert. Should I get if I hated Watch Dogs 1 but love GTA 5? Thinking of buying either this or Dishonored 2, but can't quite make a decision. It would help if I can get an opinion of someone who is playing both games.

This is like asking someone which sort of fruit is better, an apple or an orange.

Watchdogs 2 and Dishonored 2 are both so wildly different that it makes zero sense to compare both, or expect anyone to sell you on either above the other.

There are tons of videos out for both games, go watch some gameplay of either and make an informed decision.
 
I'm on the verge of buying it ... but then I remember the horrible looking characters and their attitude...

Too edgy, too hipster for me ...

Doesn't it turn off any of you guys ? I can't take any character seriously.


It does for me. I liked the person of interest vigilante aspect of the first game, even though it wasn't implemented well. Is there a vigilante aspect in this game?
 
Is there a way to hack the driver of a car (to get money/mana refill) once you unlock the ability to control a car remotely?

I really miss being able to refill my mana from other drivers when running from the police.
 
As mentioned in a previous post I pre-ordered this from amazon last minute. I was skeptical after the first game being so dour and Aiden being particularly unlikable.
After playing for a little over 2 hours last night between missions and generally screwing around in the open world this game is way more fun due to better written protagonists and just a general feel of the game not taking itself very seriously. The controls take a bit of getting used to as there are a ton of things mapped to each button but they start to make sense after screwing around a bit. Overall I've been pleasantly surprised so far by the game.
Meanwhile in regards to my previous post. Randomly after the unlock the game started showing as purchased on the Playstation store but I haven't been given unlocks for any of the preorder content. I did talk to Sony prior to unlock and they assured me that the dlc would just appear as purchased even though that game at that at point had not. Now idk what to do as I have none of my preorder stuff.
 
I think the tutorial was weak, but other than that, this seems to be an amazing game. The city really looks amazing. They've really built on the mechanics of Watch Dogs 1 and made something much better altogether.
 
Wonderful I prospered through Amazon digitally yesterday no dlc no code for dlc nothing. Their explanation was that it didn't count as a preorder since it was on the 14th? Not sure how that makes sense and while I don't think the dlc will be amazing I am pissed off as that explanation is ridiculous and nonsensical. I can't believe that shit
Meanwhile the game itself is good at least

I think the Zodiac Killer stuff will be packed into the first print.

Someone who has it can correct me if I am wrong.

I've heard as much unfortunately my copy is digital so it didn't come bundled in directly.
Upon reading theit email again their defense was the game released on the 12th?

Sorry I missed the digital part.

Did you already redeem the game? Is the DLC included in your download list?
 
But it still feels different right? How did you find it terrible?

It's been awhile since I've played the first game but no it doesn't feel any different. No weight to the cars, weird physics especially when driving bikes or quads(this becomes very noticable in the quad race). Like either do it like GTA does or go full sleeping dogs. This shit is like Saints Row. Terrible. Luckily the parcour is awesome so I'd rather run and sprint everywhere anyway.
 
Picked the game up after class at Target, was among the first 8 people to purchase the game and receive a strategy guide. Pretty cool, I just won't be using it.

I'm okay with the driving the cars stick to the ground but there is no weight to them. Turning needs to be tighter. I enjoyed WD1 driving and mastered it pretty well---this one feels weird but I will get use to it.
 
Loving the game so far, one question though, is there any way to remove those arrows from road? Cant seem to find the option in HUD menu.

I redeemed the game even though it didn't originally show on psn as purchased it showed in my download list. I preloaded it and spoke a sony rep through chat and was assured the dlc would appear. While the game has now changed over to showing as purchased on the store the dlc did not download and all the preorder bonuses are locked on the store as well.
 
Damn, I was planning on holding off for a while before I buy this but the reviews and impressions have been too good!

Now I'm gonna stop at Best Buy on my way home and grab a copy.
 
So the AI is shit or nah? looks like its still quite split with this game ; with you either not liking or really loving it.

The first game had very weighty cars, as I recall.

That sucks! I re-ordered through PSN yesterday after the first reviews came out and got all the pre-order dlc. I'd get on to their support team and complain.
 
Wonderful now amazon has went from getting the release date wrong as defense for not including dlc to blaming it on ubisoft and telling me to bug them. Wtf
 
Are there any references to Abstergo or the Assassins in the game? In Watch Dogs 1 you could get a mission to kill the CEO of Abstergo Entertainment from "the Brotherhood". In Assassin's Creed 4 it's mentioned that the CEO went missing in Chicago.
 
So many good outfits! Also digging that he has headphones on so playing music while walking is a little more realistic.

Spotify doesn't auto stop the music though :/ really Ubi? And no individual volume sliders??
 
I dont know if i'm going crazy or what but thought i'd ask here.

I played about 4 hours of Watch Dogs 2 on the 1.02 patch on my PS4 Pro and it looked utterly incredible, I then updated to 1.03 and straight away I thought, this doesn't look as nice as it just did.

I'm wanting to know if the 'performance' patch they released has lowered quality settings of what was there in 1.02?

BTW, I've seen very very few FPS dips, like 2 and that's even with some insane carnage going on, even on the 1.02 patch.
