5 Reasons Watch Dogs 2 Is One Of Ubisoft's Best Video Games

5. Having The Perfect Sense Of Humour

From the very opening mission where Marcus (AKA Retr0) breaks into Blume's warehouse to delete his CTOS profile, Ubisoft makes it very clear that Watch_Dogs 2 is going to have a far more entertaining narrative than its predecessor.

Once Marcus locates his identity on the Blume computers, one of his most recent Nudle searches (the WD2 equivalent of Google) is "anime hardcore purple hair elf." Maybe I'm mis-remembering the original, but I'm not sure Aidan Pearce spent a lot of time on Nudle searching hardcore elves.

The reimagined San Francisco Bay Area and its surrounding locations are littered with other popular meme culture, from recreated versions of Asian Dad, endless appearances of Trollface, and nonstop jabs at pop culture (e.g. Night of the Living Dedsec). Ubisoft goes all out to make sure that players know they understand the side of the internet that their entire game is representing.

Is it occasionally a bit overwhelming? Yes. But when putting into perspective the community being portrayed by Watch_Dogs 2, it's actually pretty reasonable that memes would be as popular as they seem to be.
