Watch Dogs Legion and Watch Dogs series

I had a good laugh.

So, since I finished all the Valhala content I was going to do for now (I'll leave the larger DLC for alter), I figured I'd give Watch Dogs Legion another look before the free Ubi+ month wraps up.

Started the main game and was immediately turned off by the fact that there is no fixed protagonist. It really irritates me, especially because you are kinda reminded in every single dialogue that compromises were made everywhere to facilitate that feature.
Now, that could be acceptable if the feature really offered something but IMO, it really doesn't. I started my team with a debt collector (sort of a brawler kinda guy), a hacker and a doctor. It turns out, it doesn't matter which of them I actually play because apart from some specials that boil down to minor damage or cooldown %, they can all do everything. It would have been so much cooler if they really had different abilities in the game. E.g. if my Hacker simply couldn't fight at all and if you get detected, you have no choice but to flee or if my debt collector couldn't hack (or only do the most basic stuff like open unlocked doors but no hijacking cameras and all that fancy shit). Then, you'd really have to choose on a mission, who best to take and they'd feel a little more distinct. Over the course of the game, you could then also slowly train them up in the things they don't know, so they become ever more valuable to you.

But running around with the placeholder mannequins, I don't care at all. (Wait, are they being satirical on themselves with all those mannequins standing around in the safe house?) Even XCOM does a better job of making your soldiers distinct and there I am not even suposed to play as them.

Anyway, enough ranting. Bottom line is, I didn't really get into it even though I do like the underlying gameplay. So I decided, I might at least try the Aiden Pearce DLC (Bloodlines). Started that and oh look! All of a sudden this game is fun! All you needed was a protagonist. And Aiden isn't even a very compelling one but at least he is one ... that's all I wanted, it was so easy.
Anyway, still playing that and having some decent fun. Should be able to finish it by the weekend and then Ubi+ will run out and honestly, that's ok, I've had enough of their stuff for a while then, I think.
