You played Leagion for 100 hrs😮 jokes on you!

the reason they k ll off the white cahracter in the beginning is because they hate wh ite characters and instead you get a woke collection of sjws

but the game itself is very fun

Thanks for doing a vidoe on this game. I was a bit hyped when this game was announced because the idea of playing as any NPC was a cool concept ,but they half baked it by taking out all the other systems form the previous games

Actually the same can be said about a lot of ubisoft IPs ..far cry , assassins creed,the division.. all very creative ideas..

Yeah, I agree.

Considering that I did especially love Watch Dogs 1 (more) & like Watch Dogs 2 yeah...

Not really....I have zero doubt that the sales being down had nothing to do with grafix anything, the only people who cared about that are usually the graphic whores crowd who think everything looks awful unless its 65,000k, with raytracing and runs at 8,000fps.. It was more like the first game was just so meh. The 2nd game wasn't spectacular either, but it was atleast better than the first game. The problem with Legion is that it was just so god damn aggressively meh, its quite a feat when you can be even more meh.

Legion in some aspects can be played as a sim as well. I found out and came up with many strategies of how to complete certain missions without even setting foot in the mission area, like tossing a spider bot on top of a car and driving it into a mission area. One of my favorite things to do, which was actually a trick I learned from an early video on the game, was walking up to a guard behind a blocked off gate, using to antagonize emote on the emote wheel to aggravate them, and wait for them to open up the gate to confront me before neutralizing them and getting in without the need of a key.

Perhaps the worse was that originally there was gonna be way more with each character having a sortof perk tree you could unlock more of as you used them.

350+ hours in WD2, not a second regretted. That AI and SF being the best digital city I've ever experienced always keep me comin back.

It’s AI in WD2 felt the most alive I’ve ever seen in a Ubisoft game. The setting and NPC AI were what kept me playing even tho I’ve never completed the game, I just kept messing around in the game world.

A moment that I'll always remember from WD2 was when I hacked this guy, saw he was arguing with his partner on texts, and I think he even threatened violence or something along those lines. I then pressed the "send police" hack thing, and then it said "DOMESTIC ABUSE SUSPECT". That feeling I had like "holy shit, I actually influenced a dynamic event within the world in some way." will always stick with me.

@@tugrul5165 I like to mess around with this system too. Basically, I walk around and imagine myself some policeman from a twisted totalitarian version of USA, who makes the police come after anyone who can slightly be suspected as anti-government. I know how it sounds, but that got me into a couple of funny situations

There was a moment in watchdogs 2 that i'll never forget: I was infiltrating one of the many enemy outposts guarded by security and so I used that SWAT team call in to try and get one of the guards arrested since he was standing guard near a gate leading up onto a catwalk. The Swat guys showed up and the guy resisted arrest with one of the other guards coming over to try and diffuse the situation and vouch for the guy. The SWAT and gate guard then started talking to each other, most likely the gate guard trying to clear his name. (though I couldnt hear anything I was simply watching what was happening) this back and fourth happens for god knows how long, with the SWAT guys I had called in finally realising they had false evidence on him, so they packed up into their armored car and drove off. The ONE sure fire thing I had relied on in the game to help clear out locations had somehow failed me.

That's way too much head Canon I might as well just write a fanfic and call it a day. Not bagging on you but I don't think it's fair to expect every player to basically make an entire universe in their head to compensate for how bad the characters and interaction is in this game.

This right here, pretty much. I have to give Ubisoft credit for attempting to innovate, and actually investing 4 years of development into the concept. Too bad it doesn't make for an interesting game, at least in this first iteration.

Agreed. I hope this system receives use in a more interesting game because that part was great

Apart from the player character system, I think I'd disagree on the simulated world being an achievement. I loved the previous watch dogs games but I found the world to be incredibly dull. There are only three types of buildings you could enter (from what I can remember), that being places with enemies, hideouts and pubs. Clothing shops were just terminals and there is even less interaction with the vehicle side of things. All shop fronts were closed, many repeat bland business fronts and so on. This game was such an interesting opportunity to expand on the world by going to a new continent with a unique character system but unfortunately, I find the other games, especially watch dogs 2, to have worlds which are more alive. Not even to mention missing multiplayer at launch, unlike watch dogs 2 and then not bringing cross generational play until sometime after the multiplayer component was added, when interest had died down further. Really a shame what happened with this game.

Yup, can’t knock them for their faithful recreation of London, but that’s about it. 💩 gameplay 💩 story 💩 characters 💩 everything. That stupid ass play as anyone mechanic chewed up tons of the budget and created delays. How the hell a team of professionals come up with such stupid ideas is beyond me.

​@@Spyrotastic141 I agree, though now that they have the system the next game they make with it should be much higher quality since they can focus on things other than building the system.

I feel like that can be said about any ubisoft game. A couple from my personal experience. Assassin's creed? Parkour was always so close to being incredible in a lot of different iterations, but never combined it (there is a video on this chanel that goes more in depth on the topic). Rainbow six siege? With dev teams changing, the new guys kept missing the point and changing the game in the wrong direction. Attacking was always hard, but more incredibly frustrating defender ops were added, and attack got nerfed. At some point the meta changed to "Why bother? Let's just rush and kill everything we can" It's hard to be a fun of a ubisoft game. To see the potential being thrown into an incinerator

To be fair ubisoft hasn't shown they have the capability to create games with meaningful depth, their games always feel half assed and poorly executed these days and they get boring fast.

Covid basically f'ed it up.

it wouldn’t , WDL started off with a horrible idea from the start. It would be better just in a few parts but probably still suck.

@@stephencroft1612 The idea totally fits Watch Dogs and as a blast to play with. Of Covid wasnt there, they had 2 normal years of production ontop and it would have been not just a worthy WD3 but actually the best lne of the series.

I doubt that in 1 or 2 years is enough. I think WDL issues are deep and they would only be solved (if possible) by a complete redesign

The biggest problem is less hacks. It's a hacking game bro, no matter how good other aspects are, the hacking needs to be significantly better than what it was for it to matter.

Do we really need a 4th game? Characters like Aiden Pearce and Wrench were cores of the franchise and their stories ended and on a pretty good note aswell so do we really wanna endanger it by making another game in the franchise? making it something like COD or AC where they should've just put closure to the narrative long time ago yet are constantly trying to milk it even more staining the franchise's name.

I do remember cutting it off immediately when I could.

I wanted to play on permadeath mode, but then Wrench bugged out and killed himself. So I restarted the game, and then Wrench jumped from his drone to the floor instead of onto a roof and died again, so I continued with Aiden, only for him 2 missions later to bug out and not take cover during a shootout. I gave up and removed permadeath, then just played the entire game with Aiden.

I played the game a few times on resistance mode without liberating any boroughs (or just 1 for the weapon unlocks) and the surveillance state just felt much more present, especially with the checkpoints and SIRS posters. I went back on regular mode after upgrading consoles and remembered how completely different the experience was between standard and resistance. Resistance feels like an insurgency while regular just feels like there aren't consequences for anything, not even stealing Albion vehicles. Also the antagonists being motivated by "dead terrorists" just doesn't land when DedSec isn't committing any acts of terror or losing operatives. The TV says Albion is allowed to kill and the story makes a point about recruits surrendering their old lives but Albion typically only draws guns first on resistance. They don't attack you on sight or stop you at checkpoints in regular; you don't get notoriety from being spotted by a drone. Normal mode just seems neutered in comparison.

They had the makings of something special with WD1. A game experience and look into a deeply flawed vigilante/violent hero figure. They never fully committed to it mechanically with the first game but it was there at times in the storytelling and themes. And there was an incredible second game possible with Aidan and systems they could have built around being a near-future cyberpunk anti-hero vigilante. A Batman-who-may-kill (and very possibly psychopathic) vigilante who fights authoritarian corporations not just street thugs/mafia and who the city may turn against if/when he goes too far. But grounded in reality not in over-the-top spandex-caped flying around superheroics. Then they basically abandoned him and the setup they had created to make a shallow Saturday morning cartoon version.

Xcom had the advantage of each recruit having specialised abilities that mattered.

The same cannot be said for legion, where all characters will always play the same because there’s very little variety in useful perks

@@jokerinthecarddeck1273 That's one of the eternal brilliances of Xcom EU/EW (and especially with LW). You build up such incredible narratives in each campaign on who lives and dies, and how they did so.

Some of the Xcom clone games miss this trick and try to make specific characters that rarely (if ever) grab hold of us the way our RNG generated recruits do in EU/EW.

I built my first PC and with the GPU, I got a code for Watch_Dogs. So it ended up being the first game I played on that PC. Lots of multiplayer matches with friends were had, made my friends rage quit because I was a crackshot back then. Parts I remember were: i7-4770k, gtx 780, 16gb DDR3, a way overkill 1000w PSU because I was dumb and had a lot of cash to spend. But man, you got a lot more PC for your money back then and the current GPU prices is the reason why. Prices for everything else are fine, even cheaper at times. It's just the GPUs that have dragged the prices fo high up. Of the original build, only the case and power supply remains. Parts have been gradually replaced over the years, bought 2nd hand to save some money on the upgrades. Most of the old parts are used in a media server now.

Considering how troubled every ubisoft development is, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a huge factor on why the game seems so rushed. Genuinely sucks how many times the actual devs on these games have such good ideas and ambitions and they get it all erased by higher ups who just want to rush the project out the door then when it all blows up in their face they just fire the devs after the fact instead of taking accountability.

​@@diabolicalplan1614 They canned a lot of their ideas and put them into Far Cry 6 instead, like for example enemy levels which originally would've given the enemies a bigger variety with different uniforms and weapon loadouts, similarly how some cut WDL weapons made it into FC6 like SRM1216 or KSG, hell they cut 50 weapons in general Apparently the story was also changed because the testers complained it was hard to keep track of which is BS... The original story for this game was that Dedsec London had a corrupt cell which blew up the parliment, and later DS London ended up missing, so you as the player had the goal to restart this branch yourself and find the dedsec traitor behind it, who was known as "Emily" Most of the missions were the same but context was different, like you had help from other dedsec branches such as Cairo, Seoul and Houston, who would often contact you and share information and such, one of them was Sabine Brandt being from Dedsec Berlin, complete with fake german accent through the entire story, Angel Lopez (the guy who dies in main story, and the guy from DLC) was originally the brother of a Dedsec Caracas member that would've been featured in the story At the end it was revealed that Sabine Brandt was actually Emily Reed who was the Dedsec Traitor and you would meet Dalton Wolfe who was looking into the traitor but it was too late for him to warn everybody before the story started, he would've been killed but left you with a hard drive that had information on Emily, though not sure if there ever was any expansion on her motivations to why she did "bad stuff", the context was more in depth though Other notable things feature: -Tube, it was planned to be fully accessible but only the models for the tunnels, stations etc were made and it was never properly implemented into the london map -The map was bigger and there was additional Mayfair district -3D Printer existed and you could buy weapons and equip them on any operative -ctOS Hubs (the boxes that have glowing red screen that you interact in some missions or when recruiting people) originally would've been accessible in freeroam and show collectibles in the area when interacted, kind of like towers in WD1 -There were dogs in the game, worked just like WD2, fully implemented and even voice lines were recorded for petting them (and they said they cut them because they "would need to be recruitable" too which is BS) -Steam pipes were supposed to return -A shooting range minigame was cut -There was some other 2D arcade minigame planned There's also tons of concept art on artstation that reveals a lot of things, like how the devs toyed around with an idea of london having multiple states, like when it's in control of albion it would be gritty, a "riot" version where everything is burning + destroyed and a liberated version that's clean

Something tells me it might have to do with the fact it was originally supposed to be a light RPG. Operatives were going to have levels and recruits had passive bonuses. But that all changed mid-development, likely because Ghost Recon Breakpoint flopped and was criticized because it was an RPG-lite looter shooter. Ubisoft might have seen the response and had the team remove those elements. Since abruptly changing a major component of your game would use up a lot of valuable time, I suspect they had to drop a number of aspects from release due to time constraints. Which is a shame if true.

I also wonder how much of it came down to Clint Hocking's return to Ubisoft. Man led some bangers (Chaos Theory & Far Cry 2) but post-FC2 jumped from company to company and spent a decade failing to put out a single game. WDL was meant to be his big return, and was the reason I was excited at the time...

I essentially just wrote a very similar comment - good to see I'm not alone :D I fondly remember me and my friends really enjoying the dark setting of WatchDogs 1. It made everything feel serious and had some "weight" to it. Whereas WD2 just seemed like a overly cheery hipster version of how someone imagines hacking. But good to see that a lot of people liked it. But you're right - I'd love to see something about Aiden again - WD1 is one of the only games where I actually finished the story.

Yeah, WD2 had better gameplay but the characters and the whole vibe of the game was a massive downgrade.

Exactly how I feel As soon as I found out your character could use a cloaking device in legion I decided to not even play it.

I love aiden too but I have two words to saying he's the best. Jason. Brody.

Especially wd2 that game was great in my opinion

Yeah, it was an interesting System, but sadly it was a significant downgrade from the other 2 games. Watch dogs 2 has arguably one of the best police system I've seen in all games, even rivaling Red dead redemption and they feel ALIVE and you can interact with them and they interact with eachother and npc. In watch dogs 1 there was a reputation System and news would talk about you and people would get help from police if they saw you and you had bad rep. Also there exists an arrest animation, unlike in legion where you ragdoll away and a lame "arrested" sign comes up. I so wished that there existed dialogue if those police arrested one of "them" and I mean when you recruited another police force, but like the video said. It's beautiful to an outsider, but so frustrating when further thought is in.

Bro watch dogs is not gunna end. The dude in the video near the end makes a cool segment about how the dlc was the final goodbye but let's be honest and look at the real world. Ubisoft is a developer known for sequels and not just sequels but almost a copy and paste of their game. I can guarantee this is not the end of watch dogs. They got at least 15 more sequels to go. Jokes aside they won't be ending the series here. Hell look at assassin's creed. They literally killed off the main character Desmond and still kept the series going because that's what Ubisoft does. I mean what games have Ubisoft made in the last decade besides assassin's creed watch dogs and farcry? They're not gunna give up on an IP with a solid fan base
