ThreadWhat do you think is the best Watch Dogs game?
I like the characters of the first 2, but the tone change from title to title was wild.
First felt dark and gritty, leaning towards lethal.
Second felt zany and more leaning toward non lethal.
The third one so far is okay. But unless you freshly get a good recruit that you like, it's hard to connect.
The mains in 1 & 2 were real and developed. In Legion they are generated, so your experience may vary. Only the support and antagonist are written.

ThreadDo you enjoy playing competitive Multiplayer Games even if you lose?
Sure.
As long as it's fun.
Fun is depending on the match making quality and performance.
If it's newbies vs pro, than no.
If the hit registration is poor, than no.
If the competition is close, and the response is good.. Yes.
Can't win them all.

I didn't know about the $15 upgrade if you've done it before. Buying 3 years of gold and $15 is still quite a deal.
But chances of it working in 1-2 years if you're already stacked up..
You think it's better to load up now on this gpu deal or save some gold cards up?

I bought Valhalla at launch, then Watch Dogs a few days ago when it was $30 at Bestbuy.
I was hoping Valhalla would have a sale. But it looks like they are just peddling Watch Dogs at this point.
I bought the Season Pass for Watch Dogs 1 back in the day, and it was mediocre. I'm wondering if I should have waited longer for Legion.

Well, now I'm annoyed. Lost my save because I restarted trying to figure out how to do dlc and or other campaign? Then found it you play it by going to chapter select. That's piss poor design. And the loading is atrocious. And, at least on Xbox One, resume or taking system focus off the title generally causes it to crash. I'm sour over a game is legit enjoyed some moments ago.
