I play it every October from start to finish just to enjoy the world in that game. So many great options and unique mechanics. The drones are just awesome. https://giphy.com/gifs/EaEWuES5SDSpcnOlRt
Is it similar gameplay. I skipped it because looking at the protag I couldn't see him being like Aiden in the sense of physically capable of handling people.
Guns, but also the game allows you to basically do the entire story without touching a single person with all the gadgets you can make.
It encourages stealth mechanics and a pacifist playstyle due to one of the central themes being garnering support for a collective take down of a surveillance state akin to what we're seeing with flock.
Playing the second game and then the first is similar to what people who watched the new Spider-Man then decided to watch the punisher show must feel like
Honestly wasn't a huge fan of WD2s gameplay from an options perspective, like it was fun for sure but it always felt like I couldn't use any of the weapons other than the tazer without doubling the number of enemies in the area via police every time I killed someone
Hacking usually was enough to not make that too big an issue but I still have a fair few memories of sitting in a corner waiting for the police to stop patrolling just cus I decided to use a weapon the game gave me in a situation where I didn't have any useful hacks
Okay, but how about Legion. A direct downgrade in all respects. Forgettable characters, limited game play abilities (where are my world hacks?) And a story that barely qualifies.
WD 2's story is much better if you pretend Marcus is a genius but all the DedSec basement characters (and merch) are the result of Marcus having some sort of mental illness like DID/MPD, and that the only real hacker person he ever works with is Raymond Kenney/T-Bone.
Probably a hot take but I like watchdogs 1 in both aspect. The realistic, cold approach felt better than the "freestyle" of watchdogs 2. Its just my fantasy ofc tho
