      @@LeaderOfMischief i love watch dogs one in the fact that it is properly dark in the streets but the second one is the most realistic and authentic as its gradual across each street.

      Unlike Marcus, Aiden is not a programmer. He was using exploits given to him by others. He was explaining how he isn't good at everything he's doing in audio logs. Still, because of gameplay, he felt like the most powerful compared to everybody else in the series

    I think the main flaw with watchdogs 2 and it’s blackout specifically is that the game is naturally brighter, ruining the extremely dark effect that should occur from the blackout, it causes the game to feel like this very big and powerful ability isn’t actually that powerful, but rather another little gadget that slightly increases your odds.
    I mean like, Aiden is literally THE superhacker-super-awesome-not-batman-cool-guy with the most amazing ultimate ace card, and then in watchdogs 2 and legion, it’s just kinda given up on.

    • @ViPER5RT10
      @ViPER5RT10 3 місяці тому +22

      That’s a problem with most games in general. For some reason they wanna make nights extremely bright when in reality you look out the window after sundown it’s pitch black. This is why games with mods and enbs always make it darker at night because it just looks way better. Gta v, fallout, Skyrim come to mind. I have all those games with dark nights and it makes the atmosphere so much better.

  • @psiforce8342

    Wouldn't consider Aiden's System Crash in Legion a Blackout at all, it's a completely different ability. It just makes the whole system go haywire within the area (which is still a great ability in fact), you should've did the "Dark Pattern" mission in Bloodline for the evolution since Aiden actually does a Blackout in that moment.
    Although I do wish that Aiden at least also has a Blackout ability since it's way too iconic to not be relevant in Watch Dogs.

      I think the fact that it's more than Blume holding ctOS, making it harder if not impossible for Aiden to utilize Blackout. Aside from that, Blackout is a powerful albeit cool hack that utilizes specific backdoor access vulnerabilities to ctOS. Obviously they've been upgrading ever since. That's why you can get full district Blackout in WD1, partial Blackout in WD2, and just a System Crash in WD: Legion. They're getting better at plugging the holes in their system.

    • @psiforce8342

      Aiden's System Crash is completely different from Blackout and functions way too differently from Blackout as well.
      Blackout is not useless in Legion, it doesn't exist in this game at all.
      And System Crash makes every hackable objects go haywire, including enemies with comms, either they get distracted or disrupted, which either way are great when you want to get away or take everything down (which is basically similar to when you do a Blackout, except instead of enemies being blinded, they get disrupted by their comms, so it's still just as good).
      It's not Blackout, but it's nowhere near useless at all.

    In 1 you took out the whole damn city
    In 2 you took out a few blocks
    In Legion you take out some fucking street lamps and other nearby electronic things
    Tbh the second game kind of makes sense. You’re part of a local port of DedSec, while in 1 Aiden is his own group, he can get into ctOS on his own and can get much deeper so he can do a lot more damage

    The first was the hardest to code. Lights are switching with electricity being cut off, some lights are turned off faster than others.
    The second was simplified. Electricity is being cut off from the player's position. All the lights go out the same time in each building.
    3rd was best for business. Just tell cars to find random paths, and we are good.

      Well, look at it this way, the game was not made for blackout, they didn't know they're gonna add it because bloodline wasn't a thing in plans when they were making the map, in order to add blackout they would have to redo the entire map to support the system of turning off lights, which at this point is too late for

      It's a different ability and I see many people in the comments prefer blackout over system crash. I, for one, like system crash. But it would've been cooler if they kept blackout but just made it more difficult to perform, like having set it up like in the first game

    For the people saying why the Blackout hack has gotten weaker, its because of the ctos evolving and being more resistant to large scale hacks.
    Also in Legion its not called blackout, its called System Crash or Mass Hack. It causes CHAOS wherever you use it. Cars go all over, drones turn against their operators, all sorts of stuff in your favor.
    Aiden just needs time to learn the new OS to be able to get into the electrical grid to be able to cause a massive Black out, kinda like how T-Bone did back then (in turn kinda was responsible for killing Defauts little brother)
