Well thanks, I'm now crying at my office and an older lady walked by and asked what was so funny. I showed her and she thought I'm insane.

Man... I dunno if I can care about playing some hipster Codecademy dropout. Even if it's set in the city I live in.
I'd say the odds are good based off the first game. Of course we could always be surprised in a AC2 fashion.

...I, do not know what you're talking about WRT the driving, but the actual GAME parts of this game were incredible. People complaining about this thing either didn't play it very long at all, or couldn't get past the jerk protagonist. It was disappointing to me too at first, but at one point it just...clicked, and I couldn't put it down.

Dude's such a good hacker he can hack you with a hand behind his back. lol
I wish coding in real-life was just tapping in the phone screen a couple times too.

The driving was indeed ass, but yes aside from that the core gameplay of Watch Dogs was fantastic.
The problem is that WD already borrows a lot of the mechanics from the AC games but frames them in a ~modern setting. AC2 was so good because it refined the mechanics of the first game that were relatively original at the time and added a whole bunch more in, whereas WD2 can't really do the same as those mechanics aren't fresh anymore. They'll basically have to throw a lot of the first game out and start from square one. Though that doesn't mean it can't be a fun game but I doubt it'll evoke the same reaction as AC2 did.

I wouldnt say underrated. It has a metacritic of 80 which feels about right.
The game done a lot of things really well, just let down by its story and driving mechanics.

I enjoyed the original game but it definitely failed to live up to the expectations it set up for itself.
Here's hoping we get another AC > AC2 style improvement.

I still dont understand the complaints about driving in watch dogs
You quite literally cannot lose control of your car, and yet at the same time you can pull off any driving move you can think of

God's had his chance.
Strangely enough the first thing that jumps into my head when I hear watchdogs is that game mode where you run from your friend who plays as the cops on a tablet. Shit was crazy fun for drinks and gaming..

This game would have to blow me away to Make me care even a little bit.
never had a big issue with the handling. Not being able to shoot is a bummer. hacking traffic lights and ramming just isn't fun.

The game is releasing in less then five months. They will be showing something that is really close to being done.
I don't even know what this means. Like, they patch the game? Is that now a bad thing?

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Its Ubisoft...they are never done.
Hacking people while hiding in a dumpster was some of the most fun I've had with a multiplayer game this gen.

Hopefully this is an Assassin's Creed 2 situation and it rights most of the wrongs of the first one.
Also if the AC series is any indication, I'll just stop after this one for my own good.

Being excited for Ubisoft AAA is like standing outside of a grocery store an hour before it opens.
Fucking Brutal.
But tbh, I am actually keen on seeing what they took from the reception of the first game.

I had lots of fun with the first game, definitely hyped for a sequel.
It's like everybody are trying to release their trailers eariler so they will get that E3 hype without needing to comete for our attention with 100 other games, it happens every year (last year it was R&C gameplay that we got prior to E3 if you remember) but this year it's much more extreme with much bigger AAA games than ususal.

Uhmmm I did... I really enjoyed the first one even with flaws and see a lot of potential. Why do people always try and be the "cool kid" with comments like this??

Yeah me too. Loved the game. The T-Bone DLC was pretty good too.
I'm super excited for a sequel, though I was hoping it would be set in London due to the ending of the first.
That's the title screen isn't it?

Worst teaser ever. Garbage.
That's what I was thinking. Seems like people are too eager to shit on it to be able to consider that there may be more to the teaser.
Not that it's good in and of itself or that hiding obscure stuff in your teasers is a good way to go about thinks, but I'm pretty sure there's more to it that just what people are shitting on.
Well there's the whole problem of
being dead.

An interesting protagonist in a Watch Dogs game? Come on son.
You know, I'd jump on you saying "they've only made one game, how can you even say they can't make a good protagonist", but Ubi Montreal haven't had an interesting protagonist since Ezio
I'd personally say since Connor, but I know I am in the minority on that one
They seem to be better at making side characters/villains than actual player characters.
