Anyone play this? I feel it really went under the radar. It is one of the best games I've played all year, and it might have the best open world city I've ever seen in a game. San Francisco is beautiful and very alive. Suprisingly the city is not just copy pasted, there are several unique districts. The gameplay is really fun as well.
And who really minds about the story? It's not like the game is a huge mainstream success and the fun it pokes at memes and gamers is kinda just a nod to those playing it.
Anyway, for anyone on the fence about a game to buy before the steam sale ends, Watch Dogs 2 is a good choice.
Not to many people here played it cause they are unironcally insecure and upset at the simple thought of this game, most of them haven't touched it so don't waste your time.
Jackson Sanders
It also runs like shit for how bad it looks and has denuvo.
Being secure has nothing to do with why it bombed.
Justin Lee
But Denuvo made it secure. :^)
Dylan Sanders
I played it on XB1 and it was heads and shoulders better than the first in almost every aspect. IT was exactly what I would have wanted from the first game.
BUT, having said that, it still felt unfinished. Best part of the game was playing as the other DedSec team members in the penultimate mission, and even then it was for like five minutes.
Josiah Wood
because watch dogs was shit, ubisoft is shit, and the sequel to this game (Q4 2017) will also be shit.
Joshua Robinson
Watch_Dogs and most of the phoned in copy paste yearly Ubisoft trash left Sup Forums rightfully cynical about it.
Brody Russell
Im playing it having lots of fun dicking around
Adam Collins
Your game is shit, Ubisoft
Nicholas Walker
are shills real or something?????
Jack Diaz
Ok guys serious question
I'm lonely, slightly hangover due to low serotonine levels after new years eve and i'm probably free off work for today and tomorrow, should I buy this game as a present for myself? I maybe got 2 days to play and finish it, is it worth the 40bucks steam sale? Would it make my days better if I got it or am I gonna regret blowing the money on this?
Daniel Barnes
Like is the game fun to just mess around it, drive around, go on killing spree's, fight off the cops and gangsters etc? Or is it more like watch dogs 1 levels of fun with messing around and should I go with gta5 instead (eventhough I already played that and am bored with it)
Leo Gutierrez
No its awesome. I was iffy when I bought it but I can't put it down
Adrian Young
Its a fun game and 100 times better than fucking watch dogs 1 just look at the gameplay see if you like it or not
Dylan Fisher
>Why is no one playing this?
Ubisoft.
Levi Ramirez
do you need to ask? they're everywhere.
Leo Murphy
ok but how about doing random shit in the game like you do in gta?
or is only story mode fun?
Parker Cook
They changed the profiler so it's shit, one of the best things to do in the first game was to be a monster and profile then kill people for dumb reasons.
The game is ultimately too shallow though, they toy with some interesting home invasion concepts but don't give you enough levels to have fun with it, probably because the fear of being called racist for having blacks rob rich whites.
Jonathan Jenkins
go with watch dogs. A lot more stuff to do in Watch Dogs 2 than GTA V. Its fun because citizens will react to you if you are going on a serial killing rampage and will call in your description and you have to stop the call. Gunplay is fun, stealth is alright, multiplayer is seamless unlike GTA V. Tons of fun ways to approach a situation other than gunplay. Also has a satisfying collection method of getting money and clothes and stuff.
Plus like I said the world is great and just very beautiful and detailed. Moreso than GTA V.
You can call gangsters on people to fuck with them or call the cops on them. I haven't delved into the gangster aspect but so far there are a ton of random gangs. You won't be disapointed.
Elijah Stewart
I just have to say, parts of this really do read like marketing copy.
Nicholas Scott
ok maybe i'll buy it
i see it for $33 on g2a from some 99% marketseller so i maybe go with that but its uplay key
or should i go for the 40$ one on steam?
Isaiah Nelson
seeTons of random stuff to do, a lot of buildings to go in and buy shit, world feels alive. And its fun as hell to just go on a sly killing rampage. Did I mention the game is beautiful if you have the rig?
Landon Barnes
Nobody plays games with forced meme dialogue, terrible gameplay and animation
Jack Gray
Both use Uplay, the Steam version adds literally nothing, anything gained can be achieved by adding it to your Steam library as a non-Steam game.
Anthony Peterson
Personally I like to have it in my steam library, so its up to you. Uplay gets a bad rap around here but I don't find it intrusive.
Jack Morgan
I have a pretty good rig except my videocard is maybe too old?
>pic related
also it's $40,19 on steam but I can get a 33$ uplay key at g2a, should I do that?
John Hall
this is clearly a shill thread. if there is a hell, I want you to know that liars like yourselves are going there.
Juan Parker
Go watch a gameplay video and don't let randoms tell you what to fucking do, only way you won't feel some sense of disappointment
Lucas Mitchell
ok then I go with the 33 one i guess
Jaxson Johnson
likesaid it just depends on if you want it in your steam library. I'm not familiar with g2a but if you trust it then go for it. I'm not a shill, I genuinly like this game and I appreciate people here who root for a game that is actually good, because why else does anyone come here?
Tyler Bailey
People have been burned way too many times by "Ubisoft Game".
It isn't unreasonable to see no-one buying another mediocre entry, especially when there was no advertising or hype whatsoever.
Hudson Baker
I'm just now getting back into PC gaming, so I couldn't tell you exactly how that will perform, but I'd say if you turn the shadows down you will probably be able able to run the game on at least high
Jayden Martin
I don't know why starting gang wars or shootouts with police is so funny
The thought of gangs even existing in the homo capital of the world is funny enough
Joshua Johnson
Shit game. I should have sold my key when I got it. Redeeming it was a mistake.
Owen Martin
But if it is an attempt at viral marketing, it's so clumsy. The whole thing gives off an air of "uh gamers huh?" Or maybe more like the secret agents in Psychonauts, "I am a video gamer. I like open worlds, gun battles, and car chases."
Dominic Hughes
I have a 970 and apparently the 780 isn't too far behind so you should be fine. I run the game on ultra
Brandon Sanders
>13.5TB Fucking hell nigga, no one needs that much porn. To be fair I use like 3TB for TV/Movies.
Andrew Gomez
ok fuck it ill maybe buy it
but i dunno
can you like in online also have some sandbox fun with other people? or maybe like transport vehicles onto eachother? I remember that causing problems with wd1
also how is public transportation? can you fuck around with parking vehicles in front of trains etc?
Joshua Flores
the last mission is awful
Adrian Sanchez
maybe because it is genuine? Anyone who actually played the game would realize that this game hits on all the cliches in a good way. Cool world, gameplay, and multiplayer. I don't care about the story one way or another
Jordan Mitchell
i only use like 5tb but i have the additional 5 as backups
Parker Parker
Fuck off with your blatant shilling you double nigger.
Parker Miller
Multiplayer is seamless and the purple missions on your map will allow you to team up with other players. There are missions where you have to hack another player or kill them. I gotta say the multiplayer aspect is pretty impressive, better than waiting for a loading screen forever in GTA V. You'll be playing and another player will just enter your game.
Ethan Ramirez
>Anyone who actually played the game would realize that this game hits on all the cliches in a good way. Cool world, gameplay, and multiplayer. This brings up a possibility I hadn't considered: automatic sentence generation, from a training set of marketing copy.
Joseph Brown
but it makes people overlook some decent games assassin's creed unity, watch_dogs 2, steep, far cry 4, grow home/grow up have all been great, and for honor and the new tom clancy look pretty good so far its like ignoring titanfall 2/bf1 or the new mass effect just because EA
Cameron Morris
I haven't been playing long but I think there is public transit. It is SF.
Cool random things will happen like in GTA V. Random gang shootouts and people will fight each other because of a fender bender.
Really though if you want the best open world city game on the market right now you won't be disapointed. The game might hit or miss on things like stealth or story but if you just want to fuck around you really can't go wrong
Andrew Martinez
>that feel when no matter where or what kind of mission it is I always deal with them by just calling in gang hits until the gangs throw enough people at them to clear the area
Ayden Sanders
ok ill get it then
Benjamin Allen
i really fucking love the multiplayer in this game other co-op players can randomly show up and random pvp/co-op events happen as you fuck around in the sandbox. other players can help the cops kill you if your wanted level goes too high, you can randomly be hacked which turns into a game of hide and seek, etc.
Jordan Anderson
Another cool thing I didn't mention is every single citizen has a backstory you can investigate (albeit small). So I kind of felt guilty when I accidentally shot someone in a park who was just trying to pay back their student loans.
Christopher Martinez
Im playing through atm its a fine open world game with the problems from WD1 fixed.
I fucking hate the main cast though. They talk and act like they are super anti government taking down the man but then they are just pranking fucking movie companies and other pointless shit.
I feel like you could completely remove them being a bunch of hipster hackers and have them be some shitty teenagers who just want to cause trouble and it would make them way more enjoyable.
Eli Turner
that was in the first game, too
people made collage videos of shooting people over nothing like being Canadian or Muslim
Joseph Phillips
I dig it.
I hated the first and it took me a long time to pull the trigger on it. So far, not disappointed.
Matthew Rivera
I'm astounded at how detailed the city is. Why didn't ub market this game more? Did they figure if they kept it underground it would be more of a success?
Hell even Yahtzee like it. That's got to tell you something.
Michael Barnes
they were more worried about Assassin's Creed
considering how it did in theaters their worrying didn't do much
Daniel Bennett
fuck
with g2a shield and additional costs it comes to a total of 37.25$ for wd2 uplay key
might as well buy the 40.19$ steam one then right?
Game is pretty mediocre. Driving is ehh. It's a Ubisoft game that fails to live up to promises and isn't really polished, but duct taped together. Better off with GTA if you want to do cathartic shit. The whole this person has an internet history thing is neat and the privacy invasions are kinda funny, but you can just pull that up on YouTube.
Jordan Walker
I mean I would. I like having all my games in a nice neat list. 3 dollars will get you 3 beefy frito burritos at taco bell though
Mason Thomas
Is $28 a good price for this game?
Brody Williams
i truly enjoyed how much this game bombed
it might be one of the first examples where people who bough games did not forget the bullshit pulled on the first game, and avoided the sequel out of spite, no matter the quality of the game
ubisoft jews must be puzzled how this could happen
Levi Torres
enjoy your no g2a shield
Nolan Clark
It's $28 for me on uplay, not on g2a.
Caleb Baker
I do the deluxe version for $38 on PS4
Wyatt Turner
>all these unironically shilling >recommending this over gtav
top lol
Nicholas Russell
i already played gta5 2 years ago
Josiah King
What's up with jade Raymond memes? Care to explain?
Jackson Thompson
Never played it, I don't like playing as blacks
Jonathan Davis
I'll buy your game, Jade
Parker Scott
Dude I tried it I gave it a shot But that game was just painful to play If it wasn't the visuals that were eye-fucking your face It was the shitty multiplayer--one of the few things I enjoyed about the original, that killed it for me
>Invade someone >Try to remain inconspicuous >Host deploys a drone and ID's me within 10 seconds
Fuck that game
Jackson Edwards
isn't gtav just for minecraft level autists now?
Xavier Walker
Hehehe just tell me the mem3s
Julian Peterson
git gud lol you could shoot down the drone and try to find him
Josiah Cook
Same. Or as "niggers" as I like to call them.
Landon Gomez
The point of the multiplayer is to remain inconspicuous--can't really do that pulling out a gun, causing people scatter, leaving you wide open to get shot I'm not even sure you can take out a firearm when you're invading
It's like the fucking Assassin's Creed multiplayer--I use to rule those games. Until you get the fuck head that cheeses the game, running around a rooftop all match, knocking people out the moment they get close, saying it's a legit strategy if 'it's in the game'.
Christopher Phillips
...
Easton Walker
some velvet mafia faggotry
Xavier Young
>I feel it really went under the radar. >Ubisoft game >Millions in marketing >Daily threads on Sup Forums to make fun of it
Xavier Ramirez
Nobody played it because it has denuvo
Jackson Barnes
how can I tell if my console games have Denuvo or not?
Brayden Johnson
You really don't know anything about the bay area
Levi Hall
gay people and steep hills
Jayden Long
>see some street performer with people watching him >put out a hit on him >2 fat guys show up, gun him down, then just drive off
This game's absurd and I love it for that
Logan Howard
It's a decent game actually. Much better than the first one.
Elijah Lewis
nah I donĀ“t play sjw games
Nicholas Young
>unironcally insecure and upset at the simple thought of this game
Or, you know, the first game was a colossal disappointment and there wasn't much enthusiasm to play another one.
Aiden Mitchell
the youtube ad put me off this game completely >black guy fiddling with laptop >"hello world", im a hacker yeah no
Jose Flores
>its like ignoring titanfall 2/bf1 or the new mass effect just because EA
I ignore them because shooters are better on PC and there's that gigantic malignant fucking tumor known as Origin attached to all of them.
Brandon Williams
I honestly disliked it even though I beat it.
I basically got this because I enjoyed Watch Dogs 1. It was simplistic Splinter Cell with nice driving and a comfy soft cyberpunk vibe.
The sequel ... It's like an open-world drone puzzle game. The environments are amazingly detailed and good-looking, but I really had no taste at all for the constant drone-based missions. The worst part is that there is usually very few ways to do it well, so you're mostly just trying to guess what the developers had in mind. To add insult to injury, the game probably has one of the worst stories in any game I have ever played. It's all really silly and makes no sense and it's not funny to me in the slightest.
Jayden Sanders
I will only play it if you ritualistically slaughter both your writers and designers.
Aiden Diaz
fucking shoot it down and than go run some where else or just pick a better spot to hide
Dominic Morris
If you unironically think you made a good game then why don't you show it to a demographic that would like it? Every single design decision in this game is a slap to the face.
Chase Myers
I enjoyed it. Really re-ignited my enjoyment of the cyberpunk genre.
I never played the first one, but this game seems to stand very well on its own.
My only gripe was the ending of the story. It felt like it fell short of what could've been a more interesting culmination for the plot. It was surprisingly tame. Good guys win, bad guys lose. No surprises.
Angel Rogers
>le anti-DRM circlejerk
I understand the gripes with DRM clients. I really do, but nothing about Origin is cumbersome or difficult. You open Origin, click the game you want to play, and it launches. Just like Steam.
If you are having a difficult time playing your Origin games, it is probably because you're a dipshit, not because there's anything wrong with the actual software.
Anthony Allen
>having to run a sandbox just to play games you paid for
Asher Powell
Except you don't. A DRM client isn't a sandbox in any sense of the word.
