Re: Ubisoft May Have Put Watch Dogs Down for Good

>and better cast of characters.

What? The tone and the characters were better in the first game. It was a bit clunky though and WD2 refined that as well as improved all the mechanics and the sandbox.

I don't even need another Watch Dogs as much as need WD2 60 FPS patch. Ubisoft gave me hopes with all these FarCry patches and just a few days later ruined those hopes.

@Llamageddon it is not exactly a ticking clock. The time moves only when you complete/progress a quest, so you have to choose which quests you do. Additionally, quest can be completed in multiple ways. As I see it, those mechanics aim at replayability - you can have many completely different playthroughs.

Sure, there are plenty of huge, open world RPGs where you get to do everything over the span of hundreds of hours (and I'm a huge fan of them) but a lot of people voiced fatigue of those games so I think this approach might actually really click with many players.

I thought E33 was amazing at many things but NOT combat. It was eye-catching but otherwise pretty lame. I don't mind turn-based combat when it's done right but all the characters just standing in one place... choosing their attacks like it's a card game... additionally ruined by soulslike "press parry at perfect moment", which defeats the idea of turned-based combat. After like 8h of playing I switched to story mode just to get through fights as soon as possible 😐
