It has begun. The great memeing of our time.

I hate that they used ctrl instead of control. Stop trying to be edgy :(

Also, it looks fucking terrible, and this is before it's downgraded in typical Ubi fashion.

Well, those screenshots certainly aren't bullshots. Looks awful visually, and the character design further buries this game. Trying real hard to look cool (or maybe not, because a pi button on your messenger bag, really?!), and missing the mark by a country mile.

Man I can't wait to play this loved the first one might even run through it again for fun

Also I can't remember the last time we've had a main character that's black for a AAA game so that's a bonus

One of the things I liked about watchdogs was in the original trailer it had kind of a deus ex vibe with futuristic feel. Watchdogs came out and it was way more gta then deus ex. This looks again to be heading that way again so I am a little disappointed. I enjoyed the first one but I think a deus ex syndicate type world would open up a lot of possibilities and create a real differentiator from gta.

Lol you guys are really going on about this ctrl thing. Lmao.

"I want to talk shit about this game but I haven't played it yet" starter kit

Is someone with a Witcher icon even allowed to talk shit about downgrading?

Let's be real here, it might have been downgraded from the initial reveal, but it's still arguably the best looking game on PC.

Ubi games on the other hand...just saying I don't trust the initial shots of the game is all.
 
Logging on GAF is like walking into ya grandmas house and finding out she made a Facebook and learned a bunch of new words. Edge would be that word
 
Gaf hates the character cause he's wearing skinny jeans.

I consider myself fairly well versed in fashion and I hate it cause of the rolled up bomber sleeves (seriously what the fuck), decals on the jeans (is it 1995?), cringey messenger bag with pins and orange sneakers. The companions are even worse.


Then again Delsin looked bad too and he ended up being great.

fuck my life i'm actually excited for this game. Ubisoft is going to troll me again and i'm fully aware of it.

Maybe besides the decal on the jeans(don't see that as much) everything else is pretty standard stuff

I'm all in, it looks great, I also get to be a black guy from the town? Fuck yeah. I hope they have some bay area music to accompany the game, if not I'm going to be spotifying some Jacka,Mac Dre & Zion I while I play. Playing in SF is going to make me nostalgic as fuck though lol.

I dare you to find someone that doesn't look like a tool with rolled up jacket sleeves, they're either meant to be on or off, not rolled up. Orange sneakers I guess are alright, just not my personal thing though.

Regardless, my real beef is with the companions.

Depends where you look especially for bomber jackets. See it all the time where I am

Kylo Ren and an extreme astromech are your allies.

That picture is so damn grainy. Is that an official picture they are using?! Damn!


Also, who hooks up Cars like that? For what purpose?

Everythign about that picture screams "Trying too hard to be Hip!" to me.

I'm just mad because they got so close to the classic "dressed by the internet" style and messed it up with the sleeves, sneaker color and tacky jeans.



all much better imo


hacker girl's mismatched stockings, graphic sweatshirt and whatever the guy on the far left is are the worst offenders by far
 
True, though Id say the same about all the negative comments in this thread

agreed. Everything about WD2 is just extremely stylized. I don't think the developers think that hacker culture is 100% like this. It's just their creativity and the way they want to design the world.

Everything about the picture screams "Going to be way less serious, much more goofy and fun" to me.
 
Seems designed at a younger audience...can't say I'm interested in that reveal...

Seems kinda generic in theme as well. Maybe it'll play well though.

Why are there cranes in every 2nd picture? If they're a major gameplay element at least they won't be Ubi towers 2.0. But as a result the city might look pretty weird.

Great to see they added a lot of colour to the graphics and that they chose SF as a setting. Parkour animations also look really neat!

But that's where my enthusiasm ends unfortunately. Main character and periphery characters still look like Ubi is trying way too hard to make them edgy and cool. Exactly like in the first game. Gameplay wise I don't see anything that makes me excited, even though I'm wondering how the parkour will feel.

These are of course, first impressions based on 7 minutes of video. Hope the Ubisoft presser reveals more.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This is way brighter than the first game. Like Watch Dogs Tropical Splash edition. Or Watch Dogs California Vacation
