The amount of money Rockstar makes from Shark Cards was just too good. Soooo much money for basically no real effort in small online updates. It sucks because GTA IV had some phenomenal dlc and I would have loved to see that brought to GTA V but, you know, greed..

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Yeah cause if we owned a huge company we would be all about passing up ways to make money by doing very little work. It’s part of the deal They make great video games Games so good (talking about majority of ppl Of course some of you will claim gta isn’t good or some shit) that they are part of our culture now Part of the long term payoff for great products is that you find ways to make money easily I’m not claiming it’s the “right” thing to do But if we are talking about a huge company having a meeting and one guy says hey let’s do a shit ton of work to make money and another guy says hey or we could try my way where we don’t have to do much work and we make a shit ton of money Guess which idea gets greenlit at every company ever in the history of mankind It’s just video games guys We have pharmaceutical companies (and I’m not a conspiracy guy I’m just mentioning known facts) charging lots of money for drugs they know could save lives today….. like right now if they made certain drugs either free or really cheap Thousands of people would not die today But they choose not to So we shouldn’t expect any other company to willingly turn away money That’s kind of what capitalism is It’s not about doing favors for people

[@masquerade233]

I absolutely loved the original Watchdogs with Aiden Pearce. The serious undertone of that game is what made it enjoyable. Even with the lacking multiplayer, it was fun “hacking” into other people’s sessions and causing mayhem. It’s an absolute shame the direction the game went. Lost its identity with each instalment and in the end they didn’t even know what they were doing. You know why the early Assassin’s Creed games were so good? They have a good MC and great story, both of which the first game nailed perfectly. Breaks my heart knowing there won’t be another but I guess it’s for the best.

Watch dogs 1 was better story wise imo, but raw gameplay I'd argue WD2 is one of the best open world game ever made. More detailed then gta 5, and while not as detailed as rdr2 it was more interactive.

But that's a Ubisoft thing in general, they're always so close to get out masterpieces all the time but they're always either missing out half of the stuff they could've done or misinterpret what they should do in addition to actually make them an instant classic. They've simply lost the feeling for what they should do 20 years ago and are only slowly finding their way back now (or at least I hope that they will find their way back).

I don’t blame anyone who didn’t/doesn’t dig Watchdogs Legion, the criticism is valid. But as a person who hated it at launch and really liked 1+2, the Aiden Pierce update made the Legion so much better. I really liked playing the whole game as Aiden, and his voice actor’s performance was really great/unique compared to the normal NPCs turned players. I think it’d be worth a revisit for a lot of fans of the earlier titles.

For watch dogs, the any npc can be your character is great for multi-player but its better being a story driven game. They should just make a next gen watch dogs 1, now that would make money.

[@ttm77777]

My ideal for the Watch Dogs franchise is something like theyre going to do with AC, with 2 sorta sub-franchises. i dont think the noir tone of the first game would really work with the hacker sandbox gameplay from the 2nd, it just works better with a lighter tone. so splitting the franchise in two, with one side expanding on the hacking playground gameplay with a lighter tone and kookier open-world, and another more serious side focusing on the honeslty super fun action from the first game. i genuinely cant think of another game that gives you the sorta john wick experience WD1 does. i like WD2 more because of the gameplay, and i really think the franchise would do and be better if it keeps taking more from that than from the 1st one but there is something there that also deserves to keep going imo.

I'd rather play a GTA 5 story DLC than every set foot in GTA Online tbh. Watch Dogs was great. Sure it wasn't what people were lead to believe it was based on the trailers but it wasn't bad.

[@briondalion3696]

I bought Manor Lords. I know it is in early access, but the game has been mostly made by a single person, who worked on it solo for a few years. Total development, seven years....so it's quite impressive and admirable that the dev stuck with it, and fleshed out a game, that honestly, has been a dream game idea that I wanted someone to run with and make a game out of....like, a city builder but you can zoom in a lot and take control of any person in your village. Bonus that it's being made in Unreal Engine 5. But...ever since I saw games like Total War, and them refining those games, and also being a fan of Civilization (2 is my favorite), and Age of Empires, but also being a fan of RPG's and one of my secret wishes is to get modern weaponry and take on enemies with what would be considered "standard" weaponry for their times. I remember speedrunning the technologies in Civ 2 just to push back against those annoying aggressive AI's in the gold edition. I would just race to get Great Wall, Eiffel Tower, and nukes, and then all of a sudden, all the civilizations stopped trying to pull off attacks on me....for the most part. Sometimes they did, and all I did was nuke them off the face of the map. Usually I would leave one of their cities and then surround it with fortified units so they could never do anything. xD

[@cenciende9401]

The first Watch Dogs is still my favourite, and I'll say as often as I need to, Ubisoft has a continued history of trying new things in their games, and even making vastly different spin-offs etc, name one other large publisher which does that, it deserves a lot of respect (balanced out with other more negative things they do of course). While the series is on ice, please let some AA developer take the hacker murder batman concept and run with it! In no other game have I felt as much like a legit vigilante as the first Watch Dogs it was awesome

[@whysoserious4274]

I think shifting the focus from a one main character plot to a group thing ( dedsec ) it was good but I think the vibe was destroyed when wd2 felt more jokey and less dark and serious It was different but it just doesn’t fit with the narrative of the invasion of privacy and mind control through predictive algorithms ( bellwether code ) It should’ve stayed dark because of the concept of it Maybe I’m in the minority here but I just prefer darker and more serious games with deeper meaning and closer to real life issues and watch dogs 1 was definitely it for me.

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

​@@kodorogames they used to. Not anymore. After far cry 3, everything went downhill. Far cry 3 was the last best Ubisoft game when Ubisoft introduced something weve never seen in openworld gaming. Sadly, they turned that into a formula.

[@Darklord_tK]

Legion was one step forward two steps back, as a watchdogs fan 2 was peak the ideal watchdogs for me would be a mix of the tone and storytelling of the the first game, the freerunning movement and gunplay from 2 and the hand to hand combat, stealth, and play as anyone gimmick (for online and coop only) of legion, driving physics didn't really stand out in any of them but an improvement would be very welcome and they just need to full send making watchdogs just be the modern day assassin's creed because the small ac dlc they added in legion was the best assassin's creed content for a while

[@Galvamel]

Since Watchdogs exists in the AC universe, and they are making all sorts of Assassin's Creed games, they should have Watchdogs lean into the Assassin's Creed connection more. If Watchdogs kept its gameplay but did more with the Assassin's Creed story it could easily be saved. How cool would it be to have two completely different franchises tell different parts of the same story.

Rockstar is going to release a sorry for the wait DLC like Lil Wayne did a mixtape while we were waiting for the Carter 4 back in the day

[@alaricplett6725]

Should talk about the tarkov situation, think its a little dev talk that could be cool to hear your take

Watchdogs legion was my first Watchdogs game. I enjoyed it. I'm now play Watchdogs. I think they only way the game can come back strong is they bring Aiden & Wrench back again.

Stoked to be teaming up for some tasty and healthier snacking & meal options!

I've actually been thinking of getting Watch_Dogs again (the 1st one). I originally got it close to release and then again on the, at the time, next-gen console. Now I'm looking towards PC because of the videos I've seen of the Living City mod which looks so friggin sweet! The newest thing I've seen on it is restoring cut content which makes it a lot like a remaster of sorts! Very ironic that that one is doing pretty well given the mod versus Ubisoft's idiotic thoughts on the subject manner.

im currently playing planet of lana, the audio is incredible the characters are pixilated which isnt everybodies cup of tea but the backgrounds kinda remind me of ghibli

[@milosstojanovic4623]

4:25 i agree, was enjoyable for me first and second, that franchise was different from usual open world games i played, so they were fun for me. Did not play third.

Just started Steller Blade, loving it so far.

The E at the end of Hexe is spoken. Hexe is German for witch mostly with bad connotations.

Watchdogs Legion had some obvious decisions they failed to add to the game to make it as dope as possible. Make our first agent (all the NPCs you recruit have obvious design templates); Train agents we recruit to learn skills from other recruits; I wouldn't mind buying Kau. Though it's tied to SBI, it's a game that seems to not be about sabotaging a currently existing fandom and is actually an original game that represents an African mythology or culture without culture-bending. Stellar Blade is a game I plan on checking out. Heard there was censorship with graffiti saying "Hard" and a sign next to it being an R. Honeslty, I thought they could keep it or get rid of it, I don't care. It's funny, but not a big deal if it's gone either.

It also helps that Midori, a known & pretty accurate Persona & Sega leaker, has also backed the claims of Sonic Frontiers 2 happening. And I couldn't be more excited for what's to come!

Skul The Hero Slayer was this months PSPlus game, I've absolutely loved it. Cute pixel art rogulike with a pretty deec story.

What Jake said about Shadow the Hedgehog having a gun has me imagine a cross over game of John Wick and Shadow teamed up in a game together with Keanu Reeves doing the voice of both. Both armed to the teeth to fight against evil.

[@peenurmobile]

watchdogs 1 and 2 really nailed exactly the kind of thing i wanted in multiplayer.. the ability to get into other players games without them ever even knowing and fucking around with their world. it scratches a very specific itch i want more games to consider

[@dav2mai]

Legion was the nail for me. It was the wake up call that the Ubisoft I knew was long gone. Their games around pre-2016 was peak Ubisoft to me. I've been Ubisoft-free since then and it's been a great call considering their flow against gamers.

[@hybrid_and_legacy9951]

These videos always make my fridays better! Had a flat tire this morning and this cheered me right up

[@huangjun_art]

Hey, you were great in Knuckles, btw.

[@joellocke4165]

Hey Jake, love the channel been watching for years the weekly news videos are my favorite, I can tell because you put them in all caps, why don’t you call it the All Caps FridayGaming News Recap

[@golfRgod]

Please do more intros like that and Keanu impressions 😂

[@shaeD96]

Dang i was really looking for to a before you buy for sand land 😢

[@renaldisoeryadi2183]

It's sad to hear about the fate of Watch dogs series being uncertain. As a player of both Watch dogs and Watch Dogs 2, in my opinion it's still comparable to other open world games, including GTA 5. Sad because Ubisoft didn't upgrade the potential in previous Watch Dogs when the Legion came out (except the Bloodline DLC when Aiden came back as a protagonist) or upgrade in terms of game's performance for previous Watch Dogs, especially Watch Dogs 2 with the issue of performance or flickering. If Ubisoft really want to revive Watch Dogs, juat combine of what Watch dogs and Watch dogs 2 is so great: Great mission (based in WD1), great protagonist and their personality (you know, Aiden, Marcus, and Wrench), liveliness of a city (based in WD2), and the big relation of IT world where Watch Dogs series is based.

Loved Jake’s John wick impression lol
