So far so good with the DLC. The missions are definitely tougher. Haven't unlocked a lot of the T-bone character skills yet, but as a protagonist he's waaay more likeable than Aiden and I enjoy his banter with Sheila.

Well, I did another few levels of the drinking game. The patch made the icons move a lot less on their own, and your corrections seem stronger. It's a lot more bearable now. Has anyone tried to clean out the top-tier poker game? the quantities of money involved seemed absurd, even compared with other ingame prices.

I'm a bit torn about some of the sidegame stuff- on the one hand, it's annoying to get nothing for completing them 100% (especially the money race ARGs). On the other hand, almost all of them are janky and unfun to play. None of this is helped that my computer's at the bare minimum for playing this game.

The New Game/Continue options will now read "Aidan Pearce New Game" and "Aidan Pearce Continue" while T-Bone's campaign is directly underneath those and reads "Watch_Dogs(r) Bad Blood". Getting the U-100 LMG from the second side-mission I did was a "yaay" moment but for the most part I've been attempting to complete them with the optional "no weapons" objective, killing fools through detonating their grenades/environmentals and T-Bone's lovely pipe wrench/stungun combo.

So, uh... I'm reading that they toned down the drinking game? It's impossible loving bullshit as it is now; what was it like before?

I played the first act of Bad Blood. T-Bone's voice actor is so terrible - he sounds like a Canadian trying to sound like a mix of different southern US accents. edit: just checked his IMDB, he grew up in Canada. The game is exactly like the rest of of Watch Dogs too. After playing TLOU and now Destiny my brain won't revert to its weird controls. I liked WD more than most people but was almost relieved when I finished it.

Just powered through Bad Blood in one sitting. It doesn't do a whole lot differently from the main game, the story's still totally hokey and incoherent on the whole, but just having a protagonist who is vaguely likeable helps a ton. There are some great little moments between characters, and the end credits scene is actually adorable. Hopefully the bit in the last mission where they talk about staying in Chicago and teaming up with Aiden Pearce isn't a teaser for the sequel because holy poo poo nobody wants that. Edit: spent some time with the side content today. The procedurally-generated "street sweep" missions are neat, especially in co-op. You can kind of destroy them all with the RC car though, since the stun gun doesn't count as a kill or a weapon use, and the AI is largely oblivious to it. I didn't mind the driving missions in the main game but some of the new ones are just atrocious. loving escort missions, of all things.

I finished the drinking games. Interestingly, the three opponents are meant to mirror (and, early in development, may have been intended to be) Iraq, Damen, and T-Bone, in increasing order of difficulty. There are some nice touches to their respective characters that makes me wish the game wasn't so horrible. I still can't clear out a poker table, due to a combination of boredom with poker, a lack of knowledge of how I should be reading AI tells, and the buggy interface (having to reactivate your phone every hand and rush into the camera is frustrating).

I don't know what the drinking minigame was like before the patch but I did all 3 recently and got them all on my first try. My only problem now is that I'm sitting at around 70% completion and just started Act 3 and despite finding the Ms. Crumby song I've been running everywhere to mission markers scanning pedestrians along the way because I still can't find Black and White.

I love when people cheat at decryption. They're always terrible and they always just stand in the street so I can run them over long enough to get the file away and then book it around the city for 5 minutes to win. I had voice chat enabled. The guy zooming around on foot at 60 mph who was invulnerable to all forms of damage started screaming at me for cheating.

I'm nearing the end of the game and thankfully managed to find the song I was missing. I know people have complained about the mediocre storyline already, but what's with the plothole regarding Aiden's identity? It's so enormous that I feel like I'm missing something: The first Act almost exclusively deals with him trying to get to some guy so they don't find out his identity, yet while driving around the city early on in the game you keep hearing random radio reports about ~~The Vigilante Aiden Pearce~~. As far as I know they're tied to the reputation system and I assumed I had maxed my reputation way earlier than the developers assumed most players would, so I ignored it and took it as a small oversight. However, by the time you mee T-Bone in Act 3 he shows you a TV report with a Picture of Aiden Pearce talking about how he's The Vigilante and Aiden is like "eh, yeah whatever." After this Act 4 Chapter 2 rolls by and Damien reveals to all of Chicago that Aiden Pearce is THE VIGILANTE and everyone is surprised for some reason despite news reports mentioning it non-stop way beforehand??? What the gently caress. And it sure would be cool if every single side activity in this game didn't immediately stop whatever song you have playing at the moment.

Bad writing. That's it. You could argue that he's only covering up that he was involved in the Stadium incident at the start of the game since that wasn't pure vigilantism but no, it's still stupid.

The DLC is just as dumb. T-Bone is a bit more likable than Pearce, but only by fact that he's not a literal wet paper towel, and the story point of how he's begging for forgiveness for his residual guilt from the whopping eleven people he killed in the 2003 blackout after shooting thousands of dudes in the face minutes prior is just as dumb as the main story. The remote control car is cute and makes a few challenges a cakewalk, and all the side mission stuff could have been a nice breath of fresh air with the Sheila subplot (who immediately is convinced that T-Bone is The Vigilante, despite at that point having spied on him, talked to him on the phone regularly, and is a SENIOR DETECTIVE WITH THE CHICAGO PD) but it's all recycled hideouts and enemy locations/patrols from the base game.

T-Bone's melee attacks are ace, the wrench/taser combo makes me cringe while Aiden's collapsible baton takedowns were just "meh". Getting cracked with a collapsible baton is one thing but being belted full-swing by a pipe wrench only to have your assailant jab you with a taser and make you wet yourself afterwards is a thousand times cooler/more hilarious. Also, given one of my first weapon pickups as T-Bone was the U100 LMG and the fact that it was my go-to cleanup tool, there have been an inordinate amount of motherfuckers get hosed in my game.

I, Butthole posted:The DLC is just as dumb. I actually think the DLC improved the game in just about every way. The RC car does make the fixer missions trivial, and I have this maddening deja vu in every single one of them that I've been doing the same mission 5 times each, but otherwise its a huge improvement over the main game. Better protagonist, better tools, better story. Cameras with guns. I've been enjoying it. Its not great, but its not "as dumb" as the main game. I'm still surprised people generally didn't like this game. It had issues, and it was a far cry from what was promised in the announcement (like every game is), but its a good game. Or maybe it just struck a particular chord with me. I remember playing the GTA III games and thinking "this is for easily titilated children, I wish they'd make a game like this in a cyberpunk universe" and I kind of, sort of got it. But I honestly I haven't spent this much time with a game in years.

Mechanically the game ranged from mediocre to occasionally brilliant but plotwise it was absolutely terrible. If they still have the same plot (which features incredibly  moments by a character who ends up killing herself because ???) in the second game I wouldn't bother looking at it.

The thing that gets my goat about WD is how non-committal they were to the cyberpunk theme, while their attempts to ground it were equally non-committal and flat. Really, the whole game is just a bunch of half-baked stuff that could have turned out completely awesome if there was any kind of focus or cohesive vision, which it seems like there was at some point, before it got handed off to several different development houses with conflicting design ideas and poor communication. I'm still super-bummed about it, because the potential is right the hell there, yet largely unfulfilled. But hey, at least Ubisoft wasn't wrong about Aiden Pearce being iconic. He's an icon of everything loving terrible about modern "marketable" protagonists, but that still counts!

So I just picked this up and so far I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm not sure why everyone's so down on it. I had an insanely hard time with a mission where you were supposed to "knock down" a gang boss but apparently I should have been equipping myself with sick weapons so that's likely my problem.

The game just lacked cohesion. It was mostly competent, except for the story, which was terrible, but everything else about the game was just sort of... there. Like, none of the characters were particularly likable. The game play didn't really feel challenging, like, it didn't seem like there was a lot for me to do. The environment was kind of bland. Then there were things that stuck out like a sore thumb. For example, you're supposed to be all about justice and standing up to a system that documents every person in the city of Chicago... except you're also running around robbing their bank accounts from their cellphones, listening in on their phone conversations, and all that mess. It's like, who am I supposed to be playing?

Oh, thank goodness- that, and the other multiplayer requirements, are at least doable, even if they're uninteresting. I really don't enjoy competitive multiplayer, but the allure of the percentage marker keeps stringing me along. Speaking of which, What's the highest level of Shell Game you've gotten to? It seems as if many of the minigames (particularly drinking) have an extra 11th tier "extreme" version, and I'm curious how something like the shell game could actually get harder.

Problem is, almost every attempt at moral ambiguity falls flat on its face when the game is really obviously trying to make Aiden Pearce look like a (marketable) hero by the end. The whole game felt like setup for a Spec Ops: The Line rugpull that never happened. Actually, scratch that, it felt like Spec Ops if they ended the game with "ACTUALLY WALKER IS AN AWESOME BADASS SUPERHERO GET HYPE FOR THE SEQUEL"
