Date played: September 10th
Platform: PS4
I played a TON of Watch Dogs 2 this weekend!
There's kind of too much to describe here. Most of my time is spent just wandering the world, looking for stuff to do. This game is really good about that. There's always something to do just around the corner, and everything is a little puzzle or a little enemy encounter.
Money bags, exclusive clothing items, missions leads, paint jobs and even cars are hidden all over the place, protected by obstacles. This could mean a crazy trek with the Jumper drone, a platforming challenge, a combat encounter, a hacking challenge, a billboard to paint, a Scout X pic to take, a closed circuit to reconnect, etc. There's really lots of variety here and usually, there are many ways to solve a problem. This makes it so easy to just get lost in the world. The great radio and music just make it even easier.
The side missions are all really interesting. For example, one of Sitara's cousins has a bit of a live streaming addiction, so I had to hack into her network and fuck with her a little bit, so that she loses the taste for streaming. Another mission had me look for mysterious public payphones that ring on their own. I have been enjoying the Driver: SF missions too. Some objectives are just to get to a place on time, but others ask that I visit landmarks, take big jumps, or in one case, I even raced against a speedboat on the beach!
Still, I got some stuff done in the main story, but not much. One of the bigger story threads so far has been the Cyberdriver movie, which features an autonomous car similar to K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. Our latest stunt is to steal the car and modify it so it actually becomes autonomous, as opposed to being just a movie prop. This meant stealing the car from the lot and getting away with it, so it was a fun car chase.
After we had the car in our possession, we started making some heavy modifications to it, including a boost button and more importantly, the ability to driven remotely. Sitara also went nuts with the paintjob, making the car a great spokesperson for Deadsec. The next mission was a lot of fun, since I had to show off our new car to the press by going on a wild car chase through the city. People were shocked when they noticed the car had no driver. At first, press thought it was a publicity stunt for the movie, but when they saw the paint job, it became clear that this was not a planned event. This was good publicity for Deadsec, earning us a bunch of new fans, but it also attracted the attention of a mysterious man. More to come on that later I guess.
I'm loving Watch Dogs 2!
