Womp womp.

Stovetop, do games w Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue

Lesson learned: there can be no good Suicide Squad title unless prefixed by “The”.

GlitterInfection,

Fun fact, The Suicide Squad (2021) was a box office flop, whereas Suicide Squad (2016), the only academy award winning DCEU film, was a box office smash hit!

Stovetop,

Well, hard for it to succeed at the box office when movie theaters were still closed/avoided in the midst of the pandemic.

GlitterInfection,

It still failed to hit projected box office returns with that factored in!

It’s just funny because it’s a good movie and the first one won an academy award but is terrible.

And they won it for writing “damaged” on Joker’s forehead… at least in part.

I liked all three games and I hope they continue. I think I liked the first game best, Legion the least but I still enjoyed it.

It's nice to see a movie based in Chicago as a guy from the Netherlands and say, hey I have been there in Watch Dogs

I have thought about playing Watch Dogs since the alpha of the first game, but never got around to it. What am I missing?

Excuse me for reacting this late.

Taking out enemies with cameras, gadgets and traps in an open world is pretty nice. Gameplay a bit different in every game.

The story in the first one, wasn't that interesting to me and a lot of reviewers talked about how wooden Aiden Pierces personality was. Also suicidal killer cop cars that will run over everyone and everything to get to you, hehe.

Second game is different in story and setting (San Francisco), mechanics and controls slightly different. I liked it, but again not for the story, same with the third, where everyone talks in street slang bruv...but the open world, stealth, drones, puzzles and hacking made me sink 60 hours into that game. Haven't played the DLC for Legion, one can play Aiden Pierce, but I am not sure it is worth the price, even at discount.

Ah. Thanks. If the story is lackluster then I will probably just skip it.

Probably for the best. Watch Dogs 2 was a weird tonal shift.

BowtiesAreCool,

Watch Dogs 2 was the only one I actually enjoyed playing.

TIMMAY,

agreed, one felt like an edgy young adult book you’d find on a shelf at the public library. Two had a lot of attitude and style and I loved it

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

Agreed. The first one was a tonal flatline for me.

Son_of_dad,

Hated the main character. The guy in part 1 was a vigilante out for blood. But the second, you’re some millennial, happy, hipster hacker. It makes no sense running around the city tearing shit up with the second protagonist

Now if ubisoft could go under too. I’m still pissed the splinter cell games are such a shit show on PC and they have the neck to ask for full price with the bugs and multiplayer being disabled. They can get fucked

At least the bugs are disabled /s

Son_of_dad,

Honestly, PC gamers are unpleasable, and also the biggest pirates, so it’s no surprise that studios no longer want to cater to them.

The article mentions a movie in the works. I don’t consider that dead and buried.

Plus as society gets more dystopian with surveillance, the IP will probably get more topics to cover

Watchdogs 1 was the best for me, miss playing that game

Bristlecone,

The hide and seek in it is still one of my favorite multiplayer games of all time! Pretending to be an NPC just had me cracking up!

AMDIsOurLord,

Yeah that game was so good

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Wait, it was a series? I didn’t know there was more than the 1st game…

VaultBoyNewVegas,

There’s 3.

ylai,
Son_of_dad,

Part 2 is polarizing, half the people love it the other hate it. Part 3 is just trash, it’s the one I played last and barely remember any of it cause it was so bad

Schmuppes,

I enjoy playing Watch Dogs 2 again and again mainly because it’s set in SF and the Bay Area. I just love the vibe it gives me.

Son_of_dad,

I didn’t like the protagonist in part 2. It made no sense to me, tearing through the city, blowing up shit, killing people, as this happy, hipster hacker. At least the first protagonist was a vigilante out for blood, so the carnage made sense.

mrfriki, do gaming w Watch Dogs Series is Dead and Buried, It's Claimed

It’s ok, not every franchise has to go on forever.

MeatsOfRage,

Ubi also needs to just kill Beyond Good and Evil 2 at this point. There’s no way anything good can come from a project with 17 years of development and nothing really to show for it.

Are they or did they cancel this project today?

@Hubi@lemmy.world avatar

No info yet but I would be very surprised if it gets cancelled at this stage. The remakes sold very well apparently and Mafia 4 has been in development for quite some time already.

FluorideMind, do games w Take-Two is Preparing for a Mafia Series Announcement, it's Claimed

Yeah I’m hoping it’s a more story focused game like 1 and 2. 3 had potential but fell flat due to open world monotony.

Hubi,
@Hubi@lemmy.world avatar

Gotta agree with you there. Mafia 3 was a decent game but it didn’t really fit the tone of the series. The fact that they nailed the Remake of Mafia 1 makes me hopeful for the sequel.

maynarkh, do games w Take-Two is Preparing for a Mafia Series Announcement, it's Claimed

I hope it will be more like I and II and not III.

What specifically didn’t you like about 3? I haven’t played any of them, but we’ve had a drought of crime stories in games lately, so I’m looking forward to seeing another one come out (that isn’t Yakuza).

Zahille7,

Personally I feel like the game doesn’t respect my time as a gamer. There are too many time-constrained mini games and mechanics. Having to wait for the things to overlap so you can break open an electrical box? Why can’t I just rip it open immediately? He takes too long to get in and out of vehicles. All the collectibles were weirdly spaced so they were a little far to get to on foot, but way too short to just drive around collecting them (read again about how he takes too long to get in and out of cars). Too many oodjob missions as well imo.

maynarkh,

To be honest, that’s like all open world games. Especially collectibles, or a lot of the “Ubisoft formula”.

Zahille7,

Sure, but it felt like a worse version

The first two had a slow burn story where the semi open world progresses through time so it was a character in itself. Cars felt like cars of the era esp 1 there’s like one mission you get to rip around town. 3 squandered an interesting time and setting for saints row like open world full of nonsense

trashgirlfriend,

cars felt like cards of the era

Flashbacks of playing the race car mission as a very clumsy kid

maynarkh,

On the one hand, it kinda devolved into a generic open-world time-waster, where I and II were mostly story-based action-adventure games. Car handling, as someone else said also made the game what it is for a large part, driving a Model T felt like it was from that era. The low acceleration especially made car chases high impact, which I haven’t seen done in any other games. The story was actually about the Mafia, as in Italian-American organized crime, and I felt it got diluted by the change of atmosphere in III.

I don’t think III is a bad game, it’s just not a Mafia game. They could have sold it under a different name, and made a proper Mafia III.

summerof69,

You have to conquer areas of the city to proceed with the story. You go to some place like a factory, kill everyone, leave, a boss of the factory becomes alerted, comes to the factory, you go back and kill everyone again to get to the boss, kill or hire the boss. And that’s like 80% of the game. I think there were 20-30 repetitive missions like that with 0 substance. But Mafia I and Mafia II are fully focused on the story.

gamepass and other subscription services wouldn’t exist in the first place if steam had some trial gameplay, i know you can buy something and refund it in the first two hours but average gamer doesn’t know this
