Watchdogs 2

No thanks Ubisoft

Yes please! was a fun game, not without it's faults but enough fun to be had to justify what I paid for it. Clearing the gang hideouts, experimenting with abilities and messing with the ai was genuinely good fun.

It can be found dirt cheap occasionally so if you're not in a rush to play it just sit and watch, I got it direct from Ubisoft for around 7 or 8 quid about a year ago.
I haven't played it yet though.

I'll keep a sharp lookout.

After the shafting that came from me buying the first one I'll be skipping this.

Will look forward to this but will be waiting a little while after release, more than likely pick it up during a sale.

I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, it wasnt a GTA 5 caliber game but pretty solid.
Hopefully they will include a much better soundtrack too, that was one of its weaker points for me atleast.

The first was such a let down and missed opportunity for a good new IP from Ubi. I fully expect this to be poo also, and if it turns out to be good then great, hope for the best but expect the worst is the best thing to do when it comes to Ubisoft titles.

I got watchdogs free with a SSD or something, I must get around to installing it

Omaeka · 12 Feb 2016 at 16:19

The first had nice multiplayer, the Dark Souls style invasions were a ton of fun on both ends.

I ignored all the Watch_Dogs hype and actually enjoyed the game, it had its faults but it actually ran well for me. Hopefully they'll learn from the mistakes they made and release and more polished game this time.

It does run like a dog as far as I remember

I'm thinking of picking this up, so did a search for a thread and this is the only one that showed up in the search. It's got very positive reviews on Steam, so I'm surprised at the lack of interest here?

Digital X · 31 Aug 2017 at 21:55

So am I, it's a lot more fun than the first, lots more to do. Still has that slightly washed out look, handling of cars is the same etc. You do get more activities to do, dirt bike races, selling collected items in pawn shops and buying vehicles, clothes, weapons etc.

Is it a decent single player?

james.miller · 1 Sep 2017 at 06:06

There was definitely another thread on WD2. General opinion was it was actually worse than the first game. Ran better, but they stripped out all the cyberpunk moodiness and purpose of the first and replaced it with a bunch of angry teenagers being angry for no real reason. It was just bland and stupidly easy compared to the first game.

Edit: here it is

@james.miller cheers. It must have missed the search due to the underscore in the title.

phil-k · 1 Sep 2017 at 09:10

it has excellent clear graphics

mid_gen · 1 Sep 2017 at 09:32

Much better game than the original, lighter tone than the first with some entertaining and likeable characters unlike that miserable douche lead in WD1. Hacking mechanical improved and plenty of different ways to go about beating the game.

Reminds me I need to go back and play the DLC stuff.

I just did a thread search to ask if this is any good as it's on sale for £14.99 (70% off).

I think the thread traffic might say it all.
