This game is a pure sandbox. There's already some hate circulating, mainly that the game is "boring" or "bland". You perfectly showcase how WDL is far deeper than some people want to believe.

[@lokifenris8133]

[@parthbansal2775]

yeah that is true but if I have to go that much out of my way just to have fun, why not go with some other title which offers that entertainment directly?

[@NomdePlume337]

"Get off my ambulance!" "Hippity hoppity, I'm taking your property."

[@Amernee]

This is exactly the kind of attitude players of this game need to have when playing it. Too many comparisons are being made to GTAV, which is a plot focused game in an open world (and a superb one at that). WDL is a sandbox adventure game with a broad narrative to tie it all together. Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting more from the story, and I feel it holds more potential than it’s realising if they’d cared more for the story, but by simple virtue of the game’s mechanics alone, this is a really fun and surprisingly immersive game

[@maxkho00]

Well, the last 3 chapters (especially the Skye Larsen one) have a very good story to them. So I wouldn't go as far as to criticise Ubisoft for not caring about the story enough. I feel like they've done a good job.

[@louisalex98]

Also less microtransactions and forced RPG mechanics

[@kloakovalimonada]

They did take a lot of fun systems out of it compared to WD2 though, bummer.

[@londondusk5074]

Exactly, not every single game that has a city and is open world is trying to copy gta5 contrary to popular belief!

[@kloakovalimonada]

After completing WDL, I must say the story is kinda Skye Larsen stuff is some seriously good sci-fi writing for example. I like WDL now!

CDPR just hooked Ubisoft up w/a lot of sales for Legion and Valhalla

[@AeonikDesigns]

I don't like RPGs so don't think I will buy cyberpunk

[@thejarljbj5263]

Was about to skip valhalla since it came out so close to cyberpunk but since cdpr wanna be dickheads again ill skip cyberpunk and get valhalla instead

[@SomeUnkindledAsh]

@@thejarljbj5263 I don't think that's a bad choice. Ubisoft AC formula is nothing new, but at least you know it's gonna be fun. I was never big on cyberpunk just because it's in 1st person. I don't wanna play call of duty in the future

[@uniquecorn491]

@@uniquecorn491 hey I am playing the game right now it is a lot diferrent than Ubisoft games

[@aukuse]

Ultimately the best advice to EVER have in this game. Explore. If you just stick to fast travelling and driving fast to destinations you will miss out on SO MUCH. I just found and tagged a bee keeper RIGHT NOW without having done the London missions yet, they can spawn in the wild at parks I would assume, thats where I found mine. If you are like me, I can spend hours tagging people, looking at their backstory. It tripped me out when I realized theres a bio explanation for every trait. I have a dude with 2 tech traits and "On Probation" For example. I wondered at first why an "Unemployed" dude had such good tech based traits till I looked into his bio and pieced it together. he was a former worker with Blume who got fired for stealing office supplies. Given he is also on probation, I assume that he was also arrested for what he stole. ANd thats just ONE person. This game is pretty buggy but I am having an utter blast finding cool and unique people.

[@comrade6947]

That sounds like amazing advice for any open world game. Hopefully, I can get WD legion myself sometime soon, I can't wait to build my team of hitmen and hackers.

[@securitygaming7282]

I get paid Thursday so I might pick it up. I have the money now but I’m in Tennessee on a vacation

[@anteshell]

Fast travel points were reasonable in WD1 but WD2 destroyed the whole thing by putting two or three fast travel points on each individual block. Further more both games destroyed all incentives to explore by having the worst and least fun driving physics I've ever seen, something that has been cross breeded with planes, trains and cycles with bent wheels, thus effectively forcing to use teleporting as a main method of moving. Are those things developed better or worse in this game? Are the fast travel points still too abundant and is driving a car still equal to being a non-consensual slave in BDSM sex scene?

[@Divergent-ym3py]

@@anteshell The fast travel points are almost non existent from what I’ve seen. Only hideouts like wd1 But the driving it’s so arcade like. The driving has absolutely no weight or momentum, all the vehicles feel a lot slower. Normally it would be something I would complain about. However given the pure chaos of the tightly knitted streets that London has. That level of response is needed and feels great when you’re literally squeezing through cars without a scratch. Even npcs can get into random car accidents too without any of the player input.

[@anteshell]

@@Divergent-ym3py Yeah, arcadey driving physics can be absolutely fun but it requires the same level of predictability as the real world has. WD1 had so large disconnect between what driving should feel like and what it was in game that I never learned it properly. WD2 had a slight improvement on predictability which made it tad easier. More space on roads might have been a factor too. Where would you set this game on a line defined by the two previous games?

[@HatCreature]

I love seeing games with this much depth, antagonizing an idiot to open the main gate to their headquarters, popping a drone on a car that DOESN'T fall off when you drive it, that one right there blew my mind; I hate when you can't car surf.

Some very nice tips, love the tricks to get enemies to open locked gates & doors. i do miss the hacking prompt you get on the street when you’re being chased like they had in the first two games.

[@zyst0290]

A soundtrack that fits the setting perfectly. Varied agent/hacking/stealth/action gameplay in an almost frighteningly realistic setting. Dystopian London as the best possible setting. Exciting and engaging atmosphere with side activities and missions all adding to the storyline and growth of Dead Sec. Great Play As Everyone feature with countless customization options of several favorite agents. In my opinion, the best Watch Dogs to close the current and transition into the upcoming generation. Ubisoft totally picked me up with this one. I would never have thought at the time of the title's announcement that the series would develop so well, there are actual meaningful innovations in here, contrary to the developer's general not always fair reputation. Thank you, Ubisoft, for this masterpiece!

one good way to get past locked doors or gates in this game if you can’t destroy the control box or get close enough to the key is (if you can) to throw your spider bot over the top or to the other side and then wander over and unlock it. I feel like it’s a happy medium between trying to find another entry or stealthing, and just shooting or insulting your way in without being detected.
