I came to the comments to say this. Aiden was the worst part about WD1. Hopefully the DLC kills him off

Nope, the man was a sociopath, your reaction is the correct one. Watchdogs 2 did a lot to undo the damage done by the sloppy story and horrible character from the first game. The first game’s story was a pastiche of noir tropes that were sloppily applied and his character did not translate well. The ludo-narrative…

You. Are. NOT.

Yeah, this just doesn’t make any sense.

You can blame Ubisoft for that. The setting of Watch Dogs is pretty bleak and scary. Pearce (thats the spelling btw) is a vigilante on a ruthless vendetta. Nothing about it should have been likable. Watch Dogs 1 should have shown Pearce as one of the villains not the hero.

Yeah he’s an irredeemable piece of shit. Really stupid move on their part to try to make him some sort of draw for DLC lol

Am I crazy for saying that bringing back Aiden Pierce makes me want to play the new watch dogs less than before? He’s easily one of the least likable video game protagonists of all time.

If I paid to access this website that might be a more apt comparison...

I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between the UFC gif. and the normal adds on this site.

Can’t they just be happy that people payed $60 for a game with roster updates?

The problem, to me at least, is that in the end it doesn’t matter much if they intended it or not. Whether the damage is done through stupidity or malice, the damage is still done.

Jesus CHRIST Ubisoft, what the hell is wrong with you?! I went into this article assuming it would just be a case of them using something a graphic or imagery similar to the raised-fist in a poorly thought out or negative context that somebody should have noticed and scrapped ahead of time. But the fact that the whole…

I’ll allow it.

just remaster Dragon Age Origins already with modern graphics, but leave characters, story, music, game systems alone

Maevaris

I hope the Tevinter Magister Maevaris is a companion. The first two games had transphobic jokes regarding trans women and while I love Krem, they need to make up for it with a good trans woman character.

oh MAKER the Calling.

Okay, but will the Warden Commander have figured out what the deal with the Calling is and be able to solve the mystery of the blight?

You’re missing out on Mass Effect Citadel levels of storytelling and closure. But I get it.

Yeah, but those “unjust terms” are usually actually things that are exploitative to the detriment of the smaller party. In this case, it’s literally just two giants going “you’re going to give me money” “actually no, I’m not going to give you any money” when they’re both making massive, obscene profits already, to the…
