Watch Dogs 2 - Ubisoft Connect EUROPE Digital Key
Watch Dogs 2 for PC is the sequel to the first game, and will benefit from a
third edition in the near future. It is a third person perspective, action
adventure game that is set in an open world setting.
ABOUT THE GAME
You play as Marcus Holloway, a rebel working to foil the cities authorities
attempts to control the population using high-tech surveillance equipment.
Marcus Holloway is a member of a hacktivist gang, one of their best, and it is
his job to complete missions, bringing supporters to the gang, known as DedSec.
The writers of the game wanted to incorporate a blurring of the lines between
reality and fiction, and consulted with real hacktivists, semi-fictionalised
some real life computer shenanigans, and devoted long hours to making the world
inside the game feel authentic to the players – with a good deal of success in
achieving this aim.
Marcus must travel around the area, a fictionalised version of the San Francisco
Bay Area, using any of the vehicles that he comes across, which include
motorbikes, vans, cars, trucks, quad bikes and even boats. He has excellent
manoeuvrability and can even use parkour to overcome objects and climb walls
while travelling on foot.
SINGLE PLAYER, MULTIPLAYER AND CO-OP PLAY
While the core story arc deals with the player controlling Marcus Holloway alone
as he navigates through the city, battling, hacking and sneaking about, there
are also several fun and exciting multiplayer and co-operative play modes to
explore too.
With co-op play, you can meet up with fellow gamers’ avatars and make a loose
team, heading off to explore the open world, complete missions and gain
followers for DedSec.
In multiplayer, you have a choice of various sub-games in which you can play one
on one, alternately attacking other player’s to hack them, or defending your
hack against others, two on two showdowns, where you and a partner battle it out
with the opposing team to complete missions such as acquiring hard drives and so
on. There are also several four on four missions that add excitement to the
gameplay as you battle your opposition to lead the winning team to victory!
THREE WAYS TO BATTLE
Aggression: As it sounds, you use brute force, weapons and grenades to strong
arm your way into buildings, aiming to complete your missions before an NPC
(non-playing character) can summon the police who will try to arrest or detain
you. You can shoot guns that are created on a 3D printer, plant explosives, or
even use your own personal favourite, a jury-rigged billiard ball on a piece of
bungee elastic
Stealth: Instead of engaging and being loud and destructive, creep into
buildings silently, place bugs and silently lift the data you need directly from
servers and opposition premises. If you cannot avoid enemies altogether, you can
always stun them with a swift blast from your taser, leaving them incapacitated
while you ninja in, do your thing, and leave again
Hacking: By far the most fun way to play, Marcus can do it all without leaving
home. Sophisticated hacking puts Marcus in control of enemy cars, junction boxes
and more – anything that can be connected to a network can be hacked from
Marcus’s mobile phone or other devices. He is helped with a remote control
quadcopter drone and a RC car that he can use to hack, plant explosives and
virtually explore areas that could be dangerous
