I would like to take this time to officially announce Game #113 that will be played on The Gaming Beatdown. Starting November 18th, 2016, it is Watch_Dogs 2. This is the fourth game of Season #6 of Lets Play Nights. It is also the third game of The Empty Wallet-athon' 16/17. It is also the second game in the Watch_Dogs Franchise to be played on the channel.
We continue with The Empty Waller-athon with the only Ubisoft game for the marathon. Before you say anything, No there is no new Assassin's Creed installment this year. So there will be no Assassin's Creed games this Season on The Gaming Beatdown. The game series we are heading back to is the Watch_Dogs franchise, and the second ever installment, in Ubisoft's new IP, Watch_Dogs 2.
I originally played the first Watch_Dogs game on the channel back in Season #3 in 2014. I thought the game was alright, However it wasn't the big mega blockbuster that Ubisoft were promoting it to be. It was one of those overhyped games that didn't live up to expectations. The main character was not very likeable, the story was way to serious for what it needed to be, and some of the game mechanics were just not very well done over all. However I liked the whole hacking idea to the game, it was probably the best part of the whole thing. I just wished they expanded onto it.
Watch_Dogs 2 was announced earlier this year, this time taking a much different approach. This time it seems they are taking it more in a lighter tone, with more joke and meme humor to it. The game also takes place in San Fransisco, were the last one took place in Chicago. The game stars a brand new protagonist named Marcus Holloway. Who so far seems to have more personality then Aiden Pearce. He also has newer ways to hack in the game, along with a few new gadgets to use, which look to make the gameplay alot more enjoyable.
Just like Color Splash, my expectations for this game are not super high, but believe that th is could be a pretty interesting game, and hoping it out does its predecessor in many ways.
So with that guys, Paper Mario: Color Splash is Game #113, begins on Friday November 18th, 2016 only on The Gaming Beatdown. If you missed the announcement trailer for this playthrough you can find it available down below.
