I had no idea this game still had such an active community. I remember being so disappointed by the wasted potential when it came out and this mod seems to restore the original vision the devs had for the game before Ubisoft forced them to cut corners. Very impressive for a title that did not have official mod support.

MODERATORS
Legion was pretty good IMO. At least they got better with each sequel.
Personally still think 2 was the overall best, there were a lot of mechanics I wish made it to legion
I genuinely tried to like the second game but the characters were so cringey that I just couldn't make it past the first missions.
I think I was just happy to see a cast of characters with some energy and personality, so I wasn't too bothered by the cringe, the whole thing was so overly corny and light in tone that my brain just registered it as straight camp and went from there
Pretty much. But it works.
I mean Wrench is probably the best supporting character in any of those games (and I haven't even played Legion).
The map and gameplay of WD2 are great, but I absolutely hated the story-gameplay dissonance. "Oh, we are just a bunch of nice, happy hacker kids, we want to get more social media followers... Let's murder half of the San Francisco police force and literally thousands of criminals". I am aware the game has non-lethal options, but they make playing much more of a slog and unlike WD1, this game does nothing to encourage using them. Ubisoft removed the morality system because everybody hated it in the first game, but ironically it would have fit much better in WD2 imo.
I remember taser being a significantly better weapon than everything else? It one shots enemies on the body and doesn't make noise.
I liked Legion and have a likely unpopular opinion that they did cyberpunk better than Cyberpunk did. The sandbox world of hacking and controlling different things was fantastically fun. I really wished at least that self-driving cars would have made it to Cyberpunk too. That was a blast.
Didn't like the story or writing too much tho and the voice acting was horrendous which is obvously where Cyberpunk excels.
legion took the best parts of 2, and threw them away. It was quite disappointing
Is the driving fixed? I literally couldn't drive in this game and gave up after 30 minutes of gameplay many years ago.
I have this on my to do list for years now, I guess this is a good time to start. This mod looks impressive!
Please make another Watch Dogs game Ubisoft don't let the franchise die TwT
