Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning in :) 4K/60 will be available soon - KZbin is still processing it (Several days later and still 1080p... why YT?). And stay tuned for a lot more coverage on all the new games and hardware (There's a LOT of it coming this next month or so!) Note: You may notice footage of "Watch_Dogs 2" flickers occasionally. It turns out this is a problem with the game running above 60fps. I locked the framerate and the issue went away. Not sure if there's any other fix for it. Edit: 5:18 the clips are on opposite sides. Point still stands. Streets are empty in Watch_Dogs 2 when compared to legion.

The main downside for me on legion is the world interaction, the simple things like calling the cops on people or causing a blackout, maybe you can do this later on but im not far into the story yet so I'm keeping my head up....

[@ultrag33k52]

I've not got too far myself (only unlocked one region) but I get the feeling those two game mechanics aren't there as Albion now control security & can jam the area from hacking very quickly once they suspect Deadsec. In this game Deadsec aren't just a small hacker group working in the shadows like WD 1 & 2, they've become what's considered a large scale terrorist rebellion. So in theory it's harder to dupe the police/Ctos system, in most part this is due to the drones patrolling the city. The gameplay doesn't reflect the harder to Hack so much though, other than the quicker jamming/signal lockdown. They can however take your control away from vehicles & drones quite quickly so there is that I suppose.

[@paris-ml1gy]

Sadly neither of those abilities exist in Legion 😔

[@izmirs.]

the whole recruitment implementation added to the game really made the developers forget everything else that's crucial and important to the game apart from the open world of course. Most of the stuff were badly executed and the voice acting is incredibly abhorrent. Im uncertain about the main narrative and i can only presume it being terrible because of the badly acted voices that's so unfitting and boring dialogues. Just like any other ubisoft games, great concept bad deliverance.

Watch Dogs 2 is one of my favourite open-world games. I wish they had just one with 1 protagonist or at least switching between a few GTA V style. I think playing as anyone kills any interesting story.

[@ajfunke7419]

I like both games ,but 2 has to be one of my favorite open world games of all time. Compared to legion, there's just a lot more character and minor details that make the game sooo good for me. The camera bobbing to the main character's walk speed, the character's attitudes, the nerdy references, the on the nose reference to Ubisoft San Francisco, the music app that had you find the songs yourself and aloud you to make your own playlists, The selfie app with a comment section, the uber minigames that had their own little chunk of originality, how you can actually go in clothes stores, how hacking uses battery life instead of a basic cooldown, you can call the cops and gangs on people, you had to worry about people calling cops on you instead of them just immediately knowing. It all felt like I was living there more than legion, where it feels more like a simulation to me. I feel where legion failed was not having enough time, they had to focus so hard on the new gimmick, that it had to sacrifice all the minor details that made the second game so good.

Honestly, I like all the Watch Dogs, but Watch Dogs 1 has to be my favorite out of them all. The vibe to it hits different, especially with the lightning and I also like the map being in Chicago.

Absolutely love legion been playing it all day on release. Comments on the map design... London and San Francisco are such different places so the darkness of London fits perfectly because that’s how it is. The new future take on the game instead of present day set games is so refreshing and works perfectly. Only thing I can say I dislike about the game is the car models, some seem untouched in graphical design being very plain and nothing unique but it makes up for it with all the other aspects of the game.

Just to clarify, the albion holograms on the famous landmarks disappear when you liberate an area. By the time you do that, London looks more like it does today.

I would really like to see a comparison with the bloodlines expansion. Now that that is out it is much more of a proper watchdogs game in terms of gameplay and structure story wise. And their actual main characters that in my opinion have much higher detail than some of the ones and the basic campaign. That said I've been loving the expansion of bloodlines a boom waiting for it to come out since launch basically. I've been holding off on playing the game completely so I could play through the story mode as Aidan Peirce. Also the way they fit Aden and Wrenches characters into the single player campaign their dialog fits much more naturally in the cut scenes

I'm playing Watch dogs: Legion right now and my biggest issue is how easy the game is frankly. I don't play games on hard generally, but I did with this one, but even that wasn't enough, so I stopped using the cargo drone and spider drone as well unless there was no other choice because they made completing virtually any mission ridiculously easy. My secondary problem is that while being able to turn any NPC into a playable character SEEMS like a great idea, the reality is I don't give a flip about the story, whether I use lethal force or non-lethal and I don't care about the characters, none of them. The closest thing to a decent character they have is Bagly and aside from the jokes, he's just annoying. Watch Dogs 2 is in my opinion a by FAR better game all around. Loved the story, cared about the characters and had the right amount of difficulty for me. Not to mention Legion's British accents and tropes are really annoying. I lived in the UK around London for 5 years and not everyone sounds like a bad stereotipic representation of how a Brit sounds to Americans. Not impressed with the game at all

one think I dislike about Watch Dogs Legion is they removed smartphone one of the most intuative items the Watch Dogs franchise had and they removed certian hacking things/made them limited to a certain operative like traffic light hacking I loved this in Watch Dogs 1 and 2 It was just so funny standing on the sidewalk of a intersection and see everyone blow through a red light and crashing uncontrollably aswell as the vehicle hacking not being limited.

[@VroomTech]

After finishing the story and all the side missions. Watchdogs legion has left me with a sense of... emptiness. I never was satisfied with my efforts and the people never felt important. Watchdogs 2 is still my favorite game due to the difference in approach on charcters and from collectable stuff, the way vehicles work and how you could upgrade and use the 3d printer to create dedsec drones/RC's and weapons. In this new "Advanced metropolis" you would think the Watchdogs 2 order system for cars would have been included. If in Legion you had an all powerful smartphone like in Watchdogs 2 and I could summon a vehicle, maybe i'd play the game more to be able to buy vehicle skins or anything really...

I'm loving WDL so far, I loved WD2 though, replayed it at least 6 times with the Season Pass content as well. I think that from what I've been hearing and reading, the Aiden and Wrench season pass expansions are both going to be heavily story oriented with well scripted cutscenes and everything so I'm all good with the setup on Legion right now, especially because the more you use a character the more defined they seem to get. Sidenote, does anyone else notice the voice-overs are out of sync with the characters mouth movement? It's really fucking irritating. P.S. It's worth noting that the "permadeath" system is completely optional, nobody seems to point that out in articles or videos, it's actually off as default when you begin the game. When it's not active you just retry like you would in any other sandbox.
