I still haven't finished the last one. In fact I've only played an hour of it. 'Blimey, these cars feel a bit heavy...' was about the only impression I had of it.
Very surprised the sequel is coming so quickly after the announcement though. This being Ubisoft I expect it to be delayed.

Open world Ubisoft games
Open world Ubisoft games And the first game was a multi-million seller so I'm sure this will have no problem being a hit.
Can't wait to see what this is like, Watch Dogs 1 had tons of cool little features that could be expanded in the sequel. Hope the protagonist isn't dull as strawberry float this time too.

Yeah, I'm excited about this. I totally avoided getting caught up in the hype and graphicgate that over-shadowed the first game and I enjoyed it a lot. I agree that Pearce was a weak main character, though - he didn't have enough personality or drive for the size of the game. I plan to return to the first game and pick-up my adventure before this new title arrives. The worldwide launch trailer can be seen at 17:00 tomorrow... EXCITE .

The DLC, Bad Blood, was so much better and the best thing is you can play as T-Bone.

That does look pretty cool, BOR - I have the DLC but I haven't completed the main storyline. I aim to return to it and one day play as bad-ass T-Bone .
I liked the first game, it wasn't amazing or anything, but it was a better franchise start than Assassin's Creed's. The first game in that series is strawberry floating terrible
I just think Ubisoft needs to hire some decent writers across the board, for all their games. The characterisation, dialogue, and the stories for their games are just utterly cringeworthy. Watch Dogs was yet another victim of this - awful protagonist, a dull poorly written story, and 1-note supporting characters. Ubisoft have got to step this side of the game up, across all of their titles.

The Division actually had some decent stuff in it that was written better than most other Ubisoft games, particularly the phone calls and side mission stuff.
It did, but I still felt that a fair bit of that game was hammy, and/or too try-hard. Particularly the character of Paul Rhodes, and Aaron Keener. Ugh.

Look, we both got gooseberry fool to do...Talk later.
This definitely needs a much better story and more interesting things to do with the hacking. Even though the gunplay in Watch Dogs was good, I shoot fools in 8 million other open-world games, so dialling down the violence and adding more options would be great.
I fully expect there to be just as much shooting as before, though.
