- Thread starter ffronw
- Start date
I think it's still Aiden. The person on the bottom is someone else, from Mirror's Edge, by the looks of it.dragongit said:
I'm not holding my breath for this, frankly.
Wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the same stunt a second time.

As the only person who liked the first game I'm really looking forward to more. Here's hoping they expand on the mobile companion game and don't just abandon the concept...it takes so long to get matches now.

Thought I'd do some spell-check, 'cause I liked the first one too.
That said, I'm not terribly excited for this, oh, I'm gonna buy it, I'm just not terribly excited for it. I liked the first one, didn't love it but liked it, unless they show some seriously impressive stuff at E3 to get me on their hype train, it's probably gonna stay that way; even then I'll remember the nonsense that happened with the last game so I don't know, looks like I just wrote a lot to simply say "I'm gonna buy it but I'm not terribly excited".
I enjoyed it myself, though certainly it didn't really deliver on its hype, and a lot of the Driver-sequel-leftover junk in it kind of clogged up the game (and made the supposed morality of the protagonist seriously dissonant, in side-quest form).Extra-Ordinary said:
Of course, one thing that eludes me is how they even tie it as a sequel. The titular Watch Dogs were a side (and sort of antagonistic) group to the main narratives. There was never any indication of Aiden or even T-Bone deciding to start up some vigilante club franchise. So why is some dude in San Francisco suddenly wearing Aiden's mask thing to be a vigilante? Assassin's Creed at least established that the Assassin's were a thing that existed, Watch_Dog's was a closed off tale about one guy.
They could go Far Cry on it, of course, but Far Cry didn't bother copying over one guys outfit to the next.
First game was ok, completely outshone by GTAV which released months earlier. The first trailer was very exciting and had amazing graphics (pity it was all bullshit). I was excited that the main character shared my surname haha (Pearce)
I bought into the hype for Watch_Dogs 1, will wait and decide for Watch_Dogs 2 after reviews come out. San Francisco is a good start as I've actually been there so I would recognise some parts. Never been to Chicago so I had no real connection to the city. When will they ever set a game in Sydney, Australia (even though my knowledge of the city is basically how to get to the airport lol) or something?

Been to San Francisco too - it's actually the only place in the US I've ever visited (unless you include Hawaii). Absolutely beautiful city. Shame Aidan is going to tear it up.pearcinator said:
And as someone who lives in Sydney, if you know how to get to the airport without any fuss, you're still a better navigator than me (if I'm travelling alone I usually just catch the train into the terminal).
I wonder if they will use the beach valley or silicon valley cliques as enemies.
Given that hackers take great pains to look as forgettable as possible so noone would remmeber then being there...dragongit said:
1st one was pretty good. Its not as good as the hype (obviuosly) but its actually pretty decent game with fun mechanics and good world.Deathfish15 said:
God i hope not. i got absolutely 0 interest in mobile companion games and find they tend to diminish from the game itself.SnowyGamester said:
Have you played it? It's not some match three puzzle game or card collection rubbish that serves only as a stat booster. It's an actual game. An asymmetrical RTS - albeit a fairly simple one. It really needs more game modes but the base game is super satisfying knowing that you're smashing someone playing the main game. The asymmetrical drop-in/drop-out multiplayer modes are probably one of the best things to come out of the first game.Strazdas said:
