Watch Dogs 2.0, got it right

Wanted to play this on release, never found a good sale on it and waited for a decent discount which rolled around for the holidays. Played the first game and really enjoyed it. Too many people remembered the target videos and unfortunately this made the original Watch Dogs not meet expectations even though it was a decent game.

This game is the “Assassin’s Creed 2” of the Ubisoft polishing. Which means they cleaned up all of the issues form version 1.0 and made a better game. The heavy narrative from the first game is not here in this version. There is some overarching narrative, but think of it more as a collection of short stories in this near future sci-fi potential world of San Francisco. I have a feeling this is where they will be taking Assassin’s Creed in the future. I really enjoyed the strong narrative in the AC games(not the last one though). The narrative in this game works though.

As an aside, I just went to San Francisco last Summer and they really did capture a lot of touches of the city.

So if you’re looking for a fun open world playground where you can mess with people/AI, this is your game.

  • Hey, it’s another fishy games. This game really went unnoticed. It’s an exploration/puzzle/adventure game. Like Lara Croft in a submarine under the water… Well, that’s where most submarines work, so it all works out. There’s a nice story that goes along with it, the graphics are gorgeous the the puzzles and fun. I might have had a couple points where it wasn’t clear what to do...

  • I sort of expected an undersea element, but really the undersea part is really the roots of a big city are under water.. Something happened, probably global warming… This is a pure exploration game and you do have some pleasant interactions with the sea creatures. So, we will give this game a FISH rating of 4 stars

  • Gears, Gears, Gears, Gears… I guess we’re onto the new trilogy. I hate to say this, I bought the game, but I just don’t have the fever for this franchise anymore. Maybe it’s just cause I don’t care for grinding the multiplayer. The story was serviceable and there are some intense sections and are fun. I’m not quite sure what I wanted from the game. It is gorgeous and all of the...

  • These are the same tables and pretty much the same achievements you’ll find in Pinball FX2, the whole package might be cheaper than buying the tables separately. But if you’re going to play this, you probably already bought some of the tables. I was able to Gamefly this so wasn’t a big deal on price, seems like this collection is way too much. Only a few people...

  • It’s a cooking game in the hotly contested time travel cooking game genre. Blah, blah blah, you have to save the kingdom by ever cooking faster and faster. Basically it’s a RTS game where you have to decide the sequence of events that will maximize the amount of food you can deliver so you can cook more food and therefore save the kingdom… I enjoyed the game,...
