6 Things Watch Dogs 2 Does Better Than GTA V
6. The City Is A More Manageable Size
As much as I loved exploring Los Santos and the countryside, they were just too big to really take in. While some people enjoy such a large and open world, I was afraid that actually too much was going on in Los Santos, and I wouldn't catch all of it.
To do that properly you need countless hours, and as both games are for mature gamers, it's rather obvious that working adults don't have that much time on their hands.
San Francisco in WD2 is condensed, which is understandable, but the city still feels authentic. As a guy from Poland who's never been there and knows only some of its landmarks, I've found driving through San Francisco - although driving in WD2 still needs some work to match that in GTA V - really fun.
It was really cool to visit real places, like Silicon Valley or Alcatraz, but the most memorable was driving through the Golden Gate Bridge.
Also, causing havoc around those places was fun as well.
