You may have several Arcs available to you at once, with one having you investigating the corruption and criminal behavior of a Church of Scientology spoof, and another having you locating and cracking into ctOS 2.0 before it hits the streets. Instead of completing mission after mission, the game is divided into episodic Arcs which are in turn divided into three to four missions apiece. The mission structure to take down Blume this time around is a lot different than the first Watch Dogs.
The endgame of this DedSec centers around taking down the Blume Corporation’s ctOS which connects the infrastructures of cities all over the nation as well as privately owned devices into a giant surveillance network.īecause of ctOS’s universality, the world is heading towards a Minority Report-like situation where people are flagged automatically as potential criminals or malcontents by the purchases and habits without ever committing any real infraction. You take the role of Marcus Holloway, a hacker who has just joined the San Francisco DedSec hacktivist group. The landscape seems to be an analog to the new cast and plot, both of which are much more varied and light-hearted this time around. All of San Francisco is open and mapped from the beginning. You also don’t have to go around unlocking parts of the map through taking down ctOS towers anymore which is fantastic. Watch Dogs 2 takes place in San Francisco, and the sun and ocean of the West Coast make for a much brighter landscape than the original’s Chicago. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Watch Dogs 2 takes the good elements of the original title and simply throws the rest out in favor of what is a complete turnabout in tone. I expected it to be similar to the first, overly brooding and dreary with some sort of self-righteous crusade being at the heart of the story. It was with some trepidation that I began my playthrough of Watch Dogs 2. The only thing it had going for it was the hacking mechanic, which felt more limited than it should have, and in a world of Grand Theft Auto clones, a single gimmick didn’t do anything to set it apart. The uninspired protagonist, clichéd revenge story and typical gameplay did nothing to hold my attention. I was blasé and bored of the original Watch Dogs from the moment it started.
