>>748280754wd2 is nothing like it so the original vision of watch dogs died in 2016
>>748281020At least the ability to play as anyone in WD3 was novel in a concept.
>>748280754Never played the sequel. Is it worth the time?
>>748281807Nah. It isn't garbage but it is just flat out inferior.
>>748281807It didn't really hook me in like the first game although how much that was because of the game or because of my state at the time I can't tell.
>>748280754First one had a weird bug that made cutscenes go in slow motion, audio and all.
>>748280754I'd say rhythm heaven but we got a new rhythm heaven game this year by some miracle, i can only hope for prototype 3
>>748281807no
prototype and watch dogs are great examples of a franchise taking a nose dive right after the first game
>>748280815I hate Square Enix so much it's unrealLove from Macau
>>748282625Is first watch dogs actually good? I never got around to playing it. Does the PC version look like the trailers?
>>748282625>Watch Dogs
>>748281807There's a nigger in the boxart, do you really think it's going to be good?
>>748282663WD2 is objectively a better game than WD1. The narrative of both games is complete nonsense, but the second one has some great highlights like shooting up not-google and the rest of silicon valley. Arguably WD2 swings so far into ludo narrative dissonance that it wraps back around into kino.
>>748282738Sometimes there's mods to fix that stuff.
>>748282663>Is it good?Meehh ehhh, i liked and it's better than what people made it seemed back in the day but it's just ubisoft filler shit, the world visually cool though.>Pc are equal to E3 trailers?No even close, with mods you can get really close to and even better in some aspects but the physics and explosion impact cannot be fixed without a source code leak or something.
>>748282924>>748282970I'll give them a shot
>>748282940Unfortunetely the nigger IS the whole story because it revolves around his family of sneeds, so no, unfortunetely it cannot be fixed.
>>748282924>>748283027This guy is telling half truths btw, the second game is better in terms of gameplay but the story and tone is so fucking cancer and the characters are so garbage that makes it almost unplayable.
>>748283108The obnoxious characters are the ludo narrative dissonance, that's what makes it fun. At some point in the story you are chauffeuring a state senator and having a heavy conversation about human rights, while you the player have the option to murder hundreds of people while driving on the sidewalks. The Senator even reacts to what you're doing and then goes back to talking about human rights a second later because its a video game and the talking head has to say its lines.
I really believe Rayne would be seen among the most iconic female vidja protagonists if only the series got a couple more decent games.
>>748280815>True Crime diesAwe.>Its back as sleeping dogsHell yes!>it dies againFFS is it really that hard to find one good cop-centric GTA clone that can stick around?
>>748280815>>748281020Am I the only one who thought these two were the same series?
>>748280754>prototype released 17 years ago
>>748281807it has some good ideas, but no
>>748283596>gta adjacent>dogs in the namenah it's an honest mistakelike then outer worlds snubbed outer wilds
>>748280754Imagine having a somewhat successful first game and then suddenly deciding to make a second game, but nigger editionLolThey never learnReplayed the first game somewhat recently. I still like it
>>748280754I don't really care about the franchise either way but wish we had a game like that with new tech (not a lorefag so don't care if they continue the story). Just parking yourself on a roof in a purple zone and watching the army and the infected battle it out was fun. I'd like a dynamic territory system where the army or the infected can gain territory without your direct intervention. Obviously balance it in such a way that no one can win the entire map.
>>748289285Loved the first one, never played the second.
>>748281807>blander city>blander main character>blander story>character assassinates the MC from 1Yeah, it’s pretty bad.
Not that I'd want modern Capcom to make a new one, but still...
>>748283108Yeah, neither WDs hit the mark on the story, but 2 is certainly more annoying.1 tries too hard to be grimdark as fuck, but doesn’t quite have the finesse to pull it off without feeling tryhard about it. But then 2 did 180 degree spin on the other direction and it has one of the worst QUIRKCHUNGUS casts I’ve ever seen in vidya. I still played through it solely because the gameplay was fun, but jesus fuck I would have loved to have a more normal group of hackers alongside the main character (MC himself was fine, but bland as fuck).
>>748289417All the abilities and animations are worse too.Alex mercer was a better character in every way.
>>748289805Not the anon you quoted, but I hated 2. 1 is super unique in the sense that it just drops you in middle of this grimdark world, and while the actual shooting mechanics could be better, it’s one of better vengeance fantasies I’ve seen in vidya, with gameplay powers supporting the story.But The Darkness 2 just felt like a forgettable bog standard FPS with cartoonier take on The Darkness story. I can barely even remember anything about it anymore, except that I felt that it was generic as hell when compared to 1.
>>748289417Never played these. Is the second one at least black in the kino way, like Shadowman and San Andreas, or just boring?
>>748283345If she had a more polished hack and slash game then sure.
>>748290259Boring
>>748290228That's fucked up. Also fucked up that the first one never got a PC version. Still an amazing game. >>748290305Damn.
>>748281807It's alright. Overall worse. Manages to have a worse story because it lacks any intrigue, and Heller is insufferable in the way he acts, and is a much less interesting protagonist with no character arc that I can recall. Retcons the ending of 1 by making Mercer into the complete opposite of what he decided he was at the end (and the comic is complete nonsense that treats Mercer like some naive child, making him turning evil come off as comical and senseless). I'd say Heller and Mercer are huge issues for the game, with the former being annoying and grating, with his constant (and I do mean constant) swearing, and having nothing going on other than being angry. Mercer is a completely different character and his plan didn't really make sense. The flashback memories are worse than in 1.Gameplay wise there are less powers. He can't jump as high, and I seem to remember him moving slower. It did nothing to improve on the disguise gameplay, which really needed to have been expanded on. There's really nothing it does better in a meaningful way. Some things are sidegrades at best, and other things are just worse. Play it if you liked 1, but don't expect anything great
>>748280754We didn't even get anything outside of the first episode out of the nine planned. Sin Episodes still haunts me because of that and the fact that the game introduces a redhead cutie and then ends on a cliffhanger with her getting kidnapped. >>748287889This one also stings. There could've easily been 3 Bullet Witch games by the end of the 7th gen that finished the story on a satisfying conclusive note, refined the shooting and movement mechanics and introduced cooler looking enemies along with taking you across the globe to stop the invasion of Hell on Earth.
>>748282625The second watch dogs is unironically the best one though.
>>748280754
>>748290259Its not exactly garbage, but its a downgrade in every aspect.
>>748282591>say what the ravenous yet delusional murder monster wants to hear so it doesn't snap and kill you>say what you really feel when it's not aroundHow is this a problem? Literally the whole twist of Prototype 1 is that Alex isn't a human with monster powers, he's just another victim that the monster consumed and then took on the memories and appearance of.
>>748290259>Is the second one at least black in the kino way, like Shadowman and San AndreasNothing like that at allIt's more like pic related
>>748290793(you)
>>748291442>say what the ravenous yet delusional murder monster wants to hearShe didn't think nor act like that at all, you're making shit up. She loved her brother
>>748291123Whoever likes ME2 is retardedAnd the first one is a timeless gameGameplay is still good to this day and it looks good too because they used baked gaytracing
>>748291660>She loved her brotherAnd that monster literally wasn't her brother. Zeus is no more Alex Mercer than it is all the other people it consumes and impersonates throughout the entire game, it's literally just delusional and confused and THINKS it's Alex Mercer.
>>748291775How would you even make a sequel to this?
>>748290701the mumbojumbo buyout is still to this day the most egregious act of hell on earth to ever take place in the video game industry, and it's not even closei'm still pissed about it to this day
>>748291869
>>748282625Funny coincidence how both games changed the MC to a nigger, both character assassinates the MC from the first game and both destroys the mood and tone of the history..Crazy huh?...
Prototype is one of those few games where i really wish they didnt give it a sequel. It was so poorly handled that playing the sequel will retroactivly make you dislike the first game knowing everything you did was in vain.
>>7482818071 is fun but 2 can disappoint you if you really liked 1.
i tried playing the first one on steam and the sound was pitched up like 4x
>>748290259I wouldn't even mind him being black but he just sucks as a character. Basically zero personality.And, uh, if you really like Mercer, drop the game before the final quest.
Nowadays when I replay them, I prefer 2. I don't give a shit about niggerman being a nigger since I already know the story, and the Hulk-like movement is just much more fun
>>748291817>>748291817When the first line was written, there was no indication that she thought otherwise. It's another retcon of 2. Your explanation makes sense, of course, but that's only if you accept that 1 should retroactively be changed by the retarded writing of 2. Also, even with the retcon, she could still have been telling him the truth in 1, because in 2 he's turned into an evil supervillain which would explain her change of heart >he's just another victim that the monster consumed and then took on the memories and appearance of.A big part of the story is that Zeus ends up being a better person than Alex, and the ending affirms this.
>>748292421>because in 2 he's turned into an evil supervillainHe turned his back on humanity in a tie-in comic after 1Yes, really
>>748280754It was already wearing thing before the game was even finished.
>>748292340that's the problem with all black MCs they are so bland because the devs are afraid of giving them anything, i'm playing sh townfall and while i like the game the MC is horrible he isn't even a character
>>748292459I'm still baffled by how dumb the justification was
>>748291959Not what I would want from JE sequel, but it sounds cool. Like a Big Trouble in Little China rpg.
>>748292506>the devs are afraid of giving them anythingkek if anything the devs are even more racist, as is the norm for leftists>black protag takes the disguise of a scientist>this means he has all the memories and skills of that scientist>goes up to a keyboard that the scientist uses daily for his work>YO WTF KINDA KEYBOARD IS THIS MUHFUGGA IT HAS WEIRD KEYS NOMSAYING
I'm just hoping the new Control game scratches this itch
>>748292750Don't forget half his dialogue is some variation of fuck, shit or bitch. They went out of their way to make him a dumb, annoying simpleton and whoever wrote him must've had a brain tumor
They just needed a sequel to iron out some things. And I'm not counting Rise of Legends since that's basically a completely different games. Although it's also shame RoL didn't get at least the planned expansion with tundra barbarians as a new faction.
>>748291123>>7482917071 was great but it makes me mad we never got the full artistic vision without guns n stuffclearly whoever was in charge of making the first one had a good thing going on
>>748280754I miss Infamous.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVeLOpD1xtU
>>748295769Is 2 much better than 1? I played I couple of years ago, and it just felt… drab. Gruff main character, brown colorless city and ultimately a rather small palette of powers. Also didn’t help that the supposedly big morale dilemmas were mostly dumb as fuck.
>>748296483I think the whole series is pretty good personally, but yeah 2 is better than 1.
Gotta love cliffhangers.
>>748296483Some things are better, others are worse. I think the story and atmosphere are superior in 1 (not to say they're bad in 2) and 2 has a tendency to fill up the screen with an ungodly number of enemies at a time, making you feel less powerful and the encounters less methodical. It's pretty damn good otherwise, and the gameplay itself is definitely better. 2 is vastly more colorful
>>748295769Can I emulate these games? I really liked prototype so I'm sad I never got to play it's direct competition
Say Gex!
