Impressions of the game (Watch Dogs: Legion)

Awesome Russian translation! A bit, and other crap Ugh! I had to pump it over to English to change.

dh57 Is the
graphon worse than in GTA5?

It seems to me worse. The lighting is pretty special during the day, even with the RTX. But I put NVIDIA filters on all games - the soap removes and adds clarity, so you can play.

Finished off the Legion. 27 hours, but did not complete all the side effects, the game got tired. In general, I regretted having bought it. What are your impressions of the game? Yes, no. It was like chewing tasteless gum for 27 hours. A point pops up on the map - we go there - we go in - we press the button / lever / download the necessary, etc. Again, this pattern of Yubisoft destroys everything. A formal approach to everything. No originality in either the plot or the gameplay. Drawn London - it's great. And they did not understand what to do with him further. Very few cutscenes for such a long game, very few hand-crafted missions or situations. Literally 95% of the time we walk in buildings and click something there. Could this be interesting? Unlikely.
Next is the Legion system. Mom, I did it! What for? Hardly even the developers themselves know this. They gave the opportunity to play as legionnaires, you enter the building quietly, hide from the guards, come to the right place, press the button and then the alarm starts, the guards come running from all over the building. EEEEEEm. Why try stealth, why try to play a builder / medic / stripper when we don't get stealth rewards? It would be logical if I did everything quietly and I was not caught on the way, then the alarm should not turn on. Otherwise, what is the diversity of this LEGION? Roughly speaking, you can always break in with a killer and endure everyone in a row without any sentimentality, because at the end the alarm will turn on again and the shooting will start again. Why was it necessary to fence a garden at all, one wonders?
The city was painted, but I don't want to travel around it. There are few models of cars themselves, there is no physics, there are no driving fines (it will not work to die in an accident). I just played the whole game using the teleport metro. I don't remember any interesting plot chases. Traffic and pedestrians are inadequate, do not respond to sirens and beeps (how not to remember the GTA twenty years ago, where it is done better?)
Shooting is the same. She is, she is uninteresting, dull, casual.
The plot is again stamped on a stamp. We are facing antagonists. What is their view of the world, why did they become what they want to achieve? Yes figs knows. They are just villains. Because white and evil, that's why.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the SPIDER. Well, about that without which they are developed without hands. Running a spider and playing "plumber" here takes no less time than a journey through the open world. Is this a challenge, something new and interesting? No and no.
Optimization is so-so, reflections are cool. 1080p, high-maximum settings, DLSS on, beams at medium. 60fps on the 2070S. There are jams in some areas while riding. Somewhere they are not, when cleaning outposts everything is smooth.
In the end, who might like it? Sandbox lovers Yubisoft. London itself is well drawn and detailed, the main attractions are in place. You can run to collect upgrades and money, dress up your dummies. At first it was interesting to penetrate the protected buildings in different ways, but then you see stereotypes there, as in any other aspect of the game. The project is clearly not worth a full price, it is more like what XBOX Gamepass is filled with - mediocre gray games without pretensions, the whole point of which will keep you busy for a couple of tens of hours and which you will not replay in the future.

I realized this almost immediately after seeing the reviews. Therefore, I will probably play torrent edishn, but later ... somewhere in the end of 2021, so, purely, if there is nothing at hand.
PS Thanks for your feedback, it says well.

It was the Legion mechanic that I was tempted with. And now I think the game would have been even better without her. You could think of, say, a dozen characters with different qualifications. Police officer, medic, hacker, drone specialist, driver, etc. Missions, at least story-based, should be made multi-layered, as in GTA5, so that you have to switch between them. The selection of characters itself should be arranged in the form of secondary missions, not template ones, but original ones in the style of Mass Effect. It is clear that the appearance, voice and characters should be more or less prescribed. So that the loss of even one of them would be palpable for the player psychologically and affect the gameplay. Relatively speaking, here is the task of getting your agent out of the cell in the police station. If we have a policeman, he goes in there, finds the key, steals it and just takes it out. If we don't have such a Persian, then let's say we fly a drone into the ventilation, start a fire, turn on the alarm and take out our agent in the confusion. Or we set up an accident and as a physician in the ambulance we go to the station, distract the others and get the agent. Or we climb into the chief’s office as a thief and take him hostage, we get the agent. Etc. etc. You can think of millions of different options for making the gameplay interesting and the mission varied. Instead, just countless idiots whose names we do not even remember, they are killed, and we do not care because you can go and recruit another. And any missions are performed according to a single "entered-found-clicked" pattern. The only difference is that it's either stealth or shooting. Repeat until the end credits.

For some reason, Yubisoft decided to release 2 games at almost 1 time, Watch Dogs and not up to the assassin. I went through the dogs and ... while I was cleaning London, flashbacks from the AS Syndicate appeared. They took the same London from the Syndicate and cleaned up the city too. The city is divided into districts and they have several tasks, and when you complete them, they give one more, the final one for the given district. It was the same in the Syndicate. The plot ... I was able to read it, he did not surprise me. As for the system, there is no YY, then it is somehow controversial. It seems fun to find yourself a character by style (and more on that later), but the characters are not particularly revealed (even after completing their personal quest, it does not give you a picture of the character, because these are prescribed repetitive tasks), and in the plot there is no emphasis on the character at all. Abilities ... I found an Albion fighter in heavy armor and invisibility. Such characters appear later, but invisibility + spider of norms, and also Albion does not react so sharply while you are in the form of Albion. There is, as usual, a search for all sorts of notes, etc ... it pisses me off, pisses me off in Yubisoft games. They stuff all sorts of notes where you never even come on assignment, climb for every bullshit ... I approve of finding everyone in TES / Folich. There, in the locations, all these notes are lying around, while you walk there, you study the lore along the way. And then to climb somewhere, go through a puzzle, parkour and for the sake of a piece of paper ... and even in the mad max it is more interesting to search. In general, you can play.

Not better, but not worse than the previous parts! I recommend it for the walkthrough, and yes, the optimization is very lame, there were no drawdowns, the picture never slowed down, but the fps when driving a car dropped even below 20.

Impressions after an hour of free access.

Since the game has started a free weekend, I decided to check it out. Not so much a game as its own relatively new computer. Well, in 2k, about 60fps does, which is not bad. On Dx12, kaatsa is better, probably due to DLSS. Of course, without any RTX.
The game begins as a clichéd spy movie of average lousy, and the introduction does not cause any desire to continue playing.
I wandered around London a little, traveled on the right side in typewriters (good management, by the way), frightening the locals. Crushed a couple of cops, ran into the backyard. Then he rode boats on the Thames. Cool, but again, nothing special. In principle, I do not like the city-location and this city ... City and city. No special beauties, no special grafonia.
As there was no desire to play this game, it did not arise. It seems that if I played the score would have been 6/10.

What a blessing that I did not buy this feces. Gone halfway through the Free Weekend and this game is a complete disappointment. Compared to the previous parts, a strong simplification of the gameplay and a total downgrade in everything.
The missions are primitive, there is almost no plot, as there are no characters with their own stories and experiences (hello to the murdered Horatio from the second part). Instead, a bunch of useless dummies with useless skills. He recruited a spy and an aunt with an MP5 with a half-stealth glushak and the rest of the agents were not needed. Enraged missions with drones where you need to wade through heaps of tunnels with primitive traps. But the extraction of resources for upgrading skills, on the contrary, is greatly simplified - in an hour from the start of the game, he collected and pumped most of the perks using a construction drone. There is nothing to spend money on except clothes, instead of interesting taxi driver missions as in the previous part - sad deliveries from point A to point B without any plot.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the population of the city - 90% consisting of blacks, Hindus, old women and terrible Jewish women. But the main villain is a handsome white man. Classic SZhV agenda.

Set. Played. Demolished nafig after three hours and "bless the gods of luck" that he refrained from buying during the NG sale. In THIS I will not play despite the first (2 times) and second (three times) parts
Burglary killed to death. Opponents in 6/10 cases CANNOT climb vertical ladders. Opponents, except for drones, cannot look up. The field of view is also non-existent. The cargo drone with the hacker sitting on it DOES NOT ATTRACT attention AT ALL. Recruitment to the team is generally a laugh. In the first two games, the main heroes, by default, somehow understood the topic. Here is "censorship". And "the echo answered: mother, mother, mother...". In general, I got the feeling that the Legion was made on the basis of AK: Syndicate ... Even the mode of permanent death of agents does not save the game. And the arrest ... well, it will be unavailable for some time. You are simply FORCED to treat agents as expendable. For good, three agents are enough for the eyes. Drone Specialist/Infiltrator. Melee special. Specialist with a weapon with a silencer. ALL. Well, you can still take the fourth - Albionets,
Driving got worse. That's honest. In part 2, the cars felt much better. "wrong" movement aggravates the situation. And ... it became unnecessary at all. Because the main transport around the city is a cargo drone. And he wanted to spit on the whole labyrinth of checkpoints arranged around the city
. The illogicality and scripting of tasks is a separate conversation. The plot task on the incinerator breaks the skull of logic and it does not rise again until the end of the game. The mere fact that he is within the city is already a violation of hell knows how many environmental standards. And the "crematorium for waste" arranged in it by the Kelly family ... The stench would be such that half the city would choke. Not to mention the fact that garbage NEVER burns out completely
. In general, I summarize: The game is not worth not only its price, but also the price at a discount. Three points out of 10
PS and yes, as said above - the population is actually generated idiotically. Not to mention an indicative case: while I was playing, the SAME "porn actress" in my field of vision was detained by "Albion" 10 (!!!) (TEN, Karl !!!!) times in 6 DIFFERENT districts. I will clarify: I did not check, it was delayed. with the signature "preparing for detention." Here's HOW? I do not know

The game isn't bad at all. But there are too few ways to kill people. In close combat, in general, 100% survival of any character. There are no cutting weapons. Spies or assassins should have a noose as their signature weapon. No sniper weapons.

extremely monotonous game, with virtually no plot and role-playing component. penetrated the object, hacked the database, leave the territory (all missions are like this) and endlessly building long, sometimes very long, chains of connection to hacking objects. after three or four hours of monotonous running around and crawling with bugs through the ventilation shafts of different floors, I deleted the game. all buildings are props, it is impossible to enter the subway, theater and so on

This game is better than what people say about it. I will even say more - it is better than cyberpunk. In terms of gameplay, setting, city and simulation of urban life - that's right. No, the legion is never a masterpiece, God forbid, but a solid game with its own jokes. They tried hard on the game - that's for sure, but far from everything turned out. The same "legion" was not screwed up, I think. If it were possible to cooperate agents, at least in the manner of the golden mean between wildlands and gta5, there would be no price. And so - well, ok.
The game is incredibly shitty with car handling, non-one-shot enemies and slightly dubious hack controls. In fact, I cannot call the plot bad, it is difficult to perceive it as a whole due to the format.
It will be released in the incentive, with a life-giving discount of 90% - I will buy it with pleasure and replay it.

Yes, the game is very monotonous and because of this it is dull ... But I am a simple person - I find cool ladies on the street, take them to the team, dress them in sexy clothes and ... voila! The game is transformed and you begin to experience the pleasure of playing for a delicious girl or milf.

Installed, played for half an hour, deleted to hell and forgot like a bad dream.

This is worth almost five oblique? It's robbery in broad daylight!

The game is 7 out of 10, there is not enough depth of study, but it’s understandable, it’s not GTA 5 that Rockstar has been developing for 5-7 years, the annual Ubisoft pipeline spoils everything. They should spend more time on development. In general, the game is normal for free, but of course I won’t pay for it))

The crap was full enough for half an hour. Much worse than the previous ones. The animation is clumsy, the movements are plasticine. Riding is nothing. They broke it for a whole year, but it turned out to be such a goblin.

Played for a couple of days and deleted the crap complete the same thing any task replacing players is not a necessary thing SHIT in one word
