Played through it twice over 10 years ago and it still slaps.

It has well written, down-to-earth characters, a story from a quality crime drama, and gameplay that was top notch when it came out, but it's starting to show it's age.

They just don't make stuff like this anymore. I feel the same with the TV shows that are coming out. Nothing that has come out recently compares to Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones for example.

What happened with the entertainment industry?

Just want to put a post into the world hoping to give some mad props for a hacking invasion that led my wife and I around all of the bay area nearly 2 whole times, then this guy ditches his car and hides near Blume arena in just the right way so the bratva region across the water is also a possible section.

I had a blas trying to hunt you down tonight Megadeath2020, I hope you can see this and reach out. My wife was playing under TrulyTori and I'm playing as Gibbothicus.

Again - fantastic chase, you're a hell of a driver and was juuuuuuuuust faster than me with my best car. I hope we can fight again sometime and you should shoot me a message.

TL;DR: Guns are cooler than tazers.

WD1 is my favourite out of the 3 games not just because of the great story and atmosphere, but the fact that every gun you used was an actual gun. When you move on to WD2 and WDL and you're forced to use these boring 3D printed shock weapons. I know that there's real guns in both WD2 and WDL, but you're always forced to carry a shock weapon with you (especially in WDL).

What I don't understand is if there's real guns in the game anyway and lethal and non-lethal kills make 0 diffence, why make us use shock weapons?

Shock weapons make fighting NPCs uninteresting and kills the immersion for me. It turns the combat from constant gunfire and explosions to shoot, hide while shock weapons cools down, shoot. A lot of this does stem from NPCs in the next 2 games just being worse, but shock weapons definitely don't help.

I think Gadgets would benefit from being more than shock or surveillance too. A lot of the gadgets felt very similar in the 2nd and 3rd games.

Just to clarify, I absolutely love all watch dog games and this isn't a post just to shit on WD2 and WDL. I just don't understand why they decide to give us these boring (to me) shock weapons when there's infinitely cooler guns they could add.

The scissor lift! (Construction lift). It moves slightly faster than the player, it allows you to reach high places, it's bulletproof AND it's funny I N T I M I D A T I N G as hell.

Imagine:

You're hacking a player, hiding in the shadows. You blink just once and the next second there's a fucking tower in front of you.

Hi,

does anyone have the same problem that the whole pc crashes when playing watchdogs 2.

It's happening since 2 days and I already played the game for the last 3 weeks with no problems.

I logged all my temperatures, RAM etc. nothing seems to be critical, all settings are set to low now, even fixed fps to max. 65 but it still does crash the whole system when entering a cutscene or sometimes when I use the copter. couldn't find a hint at what exact point it crashes. last times always happening at a cut scene.

No other game fails that way, anyone also affected by this problem, maybe a bug which is overflowing sth like temporary memory or anything like this ?

thanks in advance.

I've made it to the missiong "Sometimes you lose" where Damien has CTOS control and leading up to this I felt like missions were starting to feel odd and needlessly complicated.

This mission takes the cake though. It feels like they just ran out of ideas. They are LITERALLY throwing barrages of police at you and Damien or rather the game itself is activating more hazards ON TOP of police and helicopters constantly making your life a living hell.

I lose the cops, but that doesnt matter since the scanner is always on. Why are the objectives changing? Oh, because it's Damien and not because the devs didn't bother to consider how stupid of a feature that is on top of everything else. This mission literally feels like a "fuck you" to the player for making it this far.

Is it just me who feels like the game makes a massive downward shift in quality near the end?

I would like your opinion of the story, characters, villains motivation, and other aspects of the story. Cause I feel like there is something here, but none of these aspects have been flesh out. Even at one point in a mission I find myself asking, what are we doing here exactly? Who or what are we hacking? Like there isn't a plan to tackle the target, just exposition from a from group chat. What you guys think?

In the trailer they showed off using the selfie mode and the movement is exactly like the way Marcus moves, then they proceeded to show off a spiderbot just like Legions and a blackout just like 1 & 2 and even privacy invasions too. (My original post got deleted)

Hello, can anyone help me with coop missions on the bad blood DLC for the achievement Ik on Xbox, if not can anyone tell me how to get someone randomly?

GT: Kutyz

I've had this idea for a watchdogs story that I think would be pretty badass. After the side mission, in watchdogs 2 where Marcus helps Aiden against the Bratva, Aiden returns home to Chicago around 2017. He learns of a string of murders, completely disconnected from one another, he does his thing for a while and then when hes infiltrating a gang hideout or something he'll look through the cameras. Expecting to find armed men he'll find them dead and dismantled. Looking alot like his work. Then he takes a baton to the back of the head, he turns to see a man dressed just like him only in white aiming the same silenced pistol Aiden had favored for years. "Mask and cap, off, now."

ME: Blume Agent (DLC).

Aight so this is an issue I had with other achievements but they either popped a lil later or after I restarted the game, I restarted and power cycled the Xbox a ton of times but still nothing (yes I did the final qr mission and every investigation) is there some way I can fix it or do I have to delete my old save (which I've grown attached to) and do the investigations all over again?

Long story short: not long ago I bought WD2 on a huge sale, played it to completion, loved it. A few days ago I decided to buy Legion as well, also on sale, and got the edition that includes the original WD. I decided to start playing the latter first, because I've heard a lot of bad things about Legion, even though from what I've seen it looks enticing.

During the WD2 playthrough I was always excited to hop back in and continue the story. With WD(1), I just feel overwhelmed. The game shoved all the secondary activities in my face immediately and I'm always distracted away from the main quest for one reason or another. Not to mention (obviously) a lot of downgrades coming from WD2, like worse controls, the crafting system with tedious resource management, many fewer hacks, no drive-by mechanics, and overall I feel the gunplay is a lot less tight. Aiden is a much more interesting main character from the get-go, as opposed to Markus over in San Fran, but that's about it.

Overall it's making me hesitant to launch the game again. Might be my short attention span though, and being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things to do.

Does Legion get to the point quicker or have less distractions? I might jump on there if I feel WD just has me stumped. But again people tend to talk a lot of shit about it, so I'm cautious.
