As a heavy user of social media myself, I understand how getting people to hear your message helps provide you with a bigger audience. In the game having more followers leads to unlocking certain types of content. The Bad: There’s a strong of emphasis on acquiring followers and getting people to use the DedSec app. Combined with improved gameplay mechanics and it makes San Francisco feel like a real hacker’s playground. “Watch Dogs 2’s” lighter tone is incredibly refreshing. I couldn’t help but laugh when listening to an NPC talking about how he picked up a medical marijuana card so he could deal with his irritable bowel syndrome. You’ll overhear plenty of silly dialogue, some of it intentionally, some of it just as you’re walking around. Granted, his “Star Wars” and zombie references can feel like nerd fan service at times, but he’s certainly memorable. One of my favorite teammates is Wrench, a pop culture referencing goofball who wears a digital mask that modulates his voice and changes his facial expression via symbols. The characters on your team are intentionally cliched millennial hipsters but don’t take themselves seriously. “Watch Dogs 2” embraces its more ridiculous side. For the most part, this game makes it clear that Ubisoft had tongue firmly in cheek when creating this sequel. In comparison, Aidan’s skill set is SO 2014.īut perhaps what I most enjoy about “Watch Dogs 2” is the game’s overall tone. Marcus is not only is a top flight hacker but he has cool tools (a remote control vehicle and a drone) at his disposal. Marcus and Aidan’s hacking skills couldn’t be more divergent either. He does this partly for fun but also because it’s the right thing to do. Marcus lives in bright and colorful San Francisco, taking down a mega corporation with a cast of unique characters. Aidan was primarily a loner in dreary Chicago, seeking revenge on The Man for the death of his niece.
This is most noticeable with the game’s protagonist, Marcus, who’s couldn’t be more different from “Watch Dogs” anti-hero Aidan Pearce.
Hacking is more nuanced, the battle against corporate greed feels relevant and the story and characters have more depth. The Good: In almost every way, “Watch Dogs 2” is a significant improvement from the original. Gamers play as Marcus Holloway, a hacker for DedSec, an underground collective that takes on Blume, an evil corporation that uses its power for nefarious purposes.
What is it? The sequel to 2014’s open world action adventure game, “Watch Dogs.” Like its predecessor, “Watch Dogs 2” is focused on the world of hackers.
