I love all the references to World of Warcraft when its actually just "Warcraft". As in the original game. Not the MMORPG. There were games, comics and books out about Warcraft before even World of Warcraft stole the spotlight. So much lore. It has potential.
Could have done without any racial specifications. Should be able to change skin texture and mesh of the protagonist just as easily as changing clothes. Girl/Boy, fat/skinny/athletic, black/white/yellow/green ... whatever.
Hackers hack usually just because they can. Justification comes from wherever the challenge leads them. Not necessarily just a racial hurt. All manner of antagonists should have it coming whether corrupt or greedy. Plenty of reasons out there. Just look at the diversity of good/bad/insane characters justifying things in games like GTA or Sleeping Dogs, for example.
But it is what it is. Its been decided and developed into Watch Dogs 2. If the hacking and vehicle driving systems work a heck of a lot better than the first game, then I'm cool with that.
@bbq_R0ADK1LL: Amen. Just what I was thinking. I got hyped for the first one as well as this one but I've learned since then to be very open-minded and never pre-order no matter what. If its worth having, its worth waiting for.
@marcellus_dk-us: IKR. It was stated in the video above that the first WatchDogs driving was too much like a simulator. Seriously? I'm not sure what the first game was simulating, but it wasn't realistic handling of a vehicle. I think what they are trying to do, with WD2, is make it more like maybe GTA4 or 5 (from what I saw in the video above).
I don't mind that actually, as I hate "digital" driving. Analogue steering all the way! But I will wait for reviews properly before putting any money down. No more pre-orders.
The video review above seemed too digital with the controls. Needed to be more fluid with the camera for better aim. This isn't the type of game I'd play using a keyboard/mouse (that's just me).
I got the first game, but held off on this one. I think you've convinced me to buy. Cheers.
Haven't played the original single player GTA V for a year. I think I'll go back and play again.
Can't play MMO's as my internet is too slow and won't be upgraded for another 2+ years (think adsl speed). I hate MMO's anyway. Every profanity spewing 12 year old ruins it every time I play at a friends house (who has fibre optic and lives only 5 miles away)
