Odd, I just tried it and had no issues.

Watch Dogs. It’s without a doubt my favorite video game franchise of all time and it saddens me that there hasn’t been any sign of a new game being in development at all. I’d love if the game went back to its roots by following the first entries formula, but that’s just a minor preference and at this point I’d take anything.

Regular Trump already does that to me.

I think almost everyone agrees that Legion is the worst entry in the franchise and I completely agree. The story was bland and the play as everyone system wasn’t very fleshed out. I nevertheless had a lot of fun with it by focusing on the sandbox/open world aspects instead of the story and characters. Something that is very important to me about video games is their worldbuilding and every Watch Dogs game has absolutely nailed that IMO. Legions dystopian cyberpunk London is stunning to look at and move around and the way the player experiences this mass-surveillance police state around them is truly captivating. Learning about messed up artificial intelligence experiments, the development of technology making it even easier for the government and companies to spy on citizens and seeing, reading about and listening to people suffer the direct consquences of this more than made up for the lackluster story in my eyes. So much in fact that I spent over a hundred hours in this game and still come back to it regularly even though support has been dropped long ago. Microtransactions didn’t bother me as they are completely optional and can only be used to purchase skins and characters that mostly aren’t much different to those you can recruit in the base game. One exception is the Bloodlines DLC, which was a redeeming addition to the game in many peoples eyes. It features a really well done story featuring Aiden Pearce from the first game and Wrench from Watch Dogs 2 (and only those, no recruiting citizens here!), both being fan favorite Characters. The DLCs short but sweet main story and the side missions with some unexpected twists were enjoyable to me and brought back what many loved about the old games. After the launch of Legion there were also two books and one graphic novel released that tie into Legions story with the authors taking what was best about the game, the setting and location, and adding an exciting storyline with great characters on top of it. To sum it up, I totally get why people dislike Legion and in my eyes the first and second games are far superior. Nevertheless, perhaps due to my priorities regarding the aspects of video games or willingness to invest more time into a seemingly lackluster game because of my love for the previous titles, I consider it to be a decent, if not a good video game. To anyone being unsure about picking the game up, I’d reccommed doing so during a sale, where the base games price often falls below 10$.

Governments have been trying to impose chat control for over a decade now but so far they haven’t been able to get it through. That doesn’t stop them from trying over and over again though and this time their chances are looking better than usual. Even if they fail once more they’ll do it all over again soon afterwards. This topic will never get old.

Ironic

Well, the game did get made. They just stopped updating it because there was no playerbase.

It seems like you severely misunderstand what “AI” as we have it nowadays is (it’s not actual AI) and what it is capable (not very much) and most importantly not capable of (most things it is advertised to do). Even if investor magazines and tech CEOs try to make it seem like that, we’re not one step away from creating HAL9000. LLMs are extremely over hyped and in the most areas they have been deployed a straight up dysfunctional scam. The only arms race that is happening right now is about who can waste the most money and violate the most privacy laws with this nonsense while all the necessary data centers and their insane power and water demands accelerate the destruction of our environment even more.

God fucking damn it
