Wow. Witcher 3 is getting a DLC and now even Diablo 2 is.
I’m playing Watch Dogs 2 now. It’s pretty similar to the first one, which I liked: basically Assassin’s Creed plus hacking (a la Cyberpunk 2077). Adding an RC car and a quadcopter drone is a fun improvement and it adds some variety to the climbing puzzles and stealth puzzles. Also there have been way fewer mandatory driving missions so far (which is a good thing).
The tone is a little bit off, in my opinion. In the first game, you’re a criminal who turns vigilante after you get your niece killed. In the second game, you’re just a hipster who dislikes Big Tech…who also flat-out murders people some of the time? I guess they added some non-lethal weapons, so you could try to play without permanently killing people, but it still seems a bit violent considering the premise.
Or if you are me, you murder people constantly. Make a car run into another car, cop shows up, hack a guy to make the cops think he’s a terrorist, so they arrest him, and then hack the cops’ earpieces, the guy panics and runs, the cops chase and shoot him, then hack a cop’s info to make organized crime think he killed one of their people, so they show up, now there is a shoot-out between the cops and the gang…
I spent hours just being evil. It was so fun and it demonstrated how I am a very bad person.
I also went very heavy into the remote drone stuff in the skill tree, and rarely set foot in an area to put myself in real danger, just had my drones do it. Or, like I suggested before, I hack one of the bad guys in a mission area to get the cops and/or a rival gang to show up and let them kill each other, then stroll in afterward and loot the bodies before completing my mission without trouble.
