Watchdogs was one of the most disappointing games I have played after all the hype leading to its release. It was one of those game that told me, tone down your expectations next time and don't always believe in the hype.

Now I know you are talking about the sequel which did improve some of the issues I had with the original. Key word improve. It wasn't fixed it was merely improved.

Those are about the only good things I have to say about the game though. The driving mechanics is still atrocious. The plot is Mass Effect Andromeda levels of uninspired and the characters are so damn cringe inducing. But all that can be excused if it didn't commit the one cardinal sin a video game shouldn't commit. The sin of being a fucking boring game. The overly repetitive nature of the game and everything being just average is what I remember most from Watch Dogs 2 so yeah I find it laughable that it ranks over Bloodborne in anything.

I could have even somehow excused a bad opinion like this if Nioh 2 wasn't literally ranked 2nd just a few posts later as someone who doesn't like these kind of games. But you literally ranked a soulsborne copy 2nd in the same topic. A game which should have been called Nioh 1.5 instead of 2. In this day and age, a game that is literally an expansion shouldn't have been passed off as a sequel. I have played 100 hours of Nioh 2 doing everything in the game and my god it felt like a deja vu of the original only with worse level design. Only the Yokai shift mechanic makes it distinguishable from the original otherwise it literally the same game.

As for Call of Duty 2019. All I am gonna say is 1 game being a carbon copy of Modern Warfare is understandable. 11 or 12 of them is not. Call it prejudice against the series but it has rightfully earned that reputation from me and a lot of the non casual gaming fanbase. There is a good reason yearly releases are loathed. Even Assassin's Creed now has the decency to not do that whereas Call of Duty continues to be the FIFA or NBA 2K of FPS even in a year where a literal pandemic happened.

I agree with you on Yakuza 0's gameplay mostly. It is a glaring weakness for the series and quite repetitive in nature. I have played the entire series recently from Kiwami 1 to 6 (0, I played it a few years back). 0 is the most polished gameplay-wise but it is still flawed yes. The series however has some of the most memorable storyline ( ridiculous in a very entertaining way) and characters. So if you are playing the game and expecting stellar gameplay then you are absolutely looking in the wrong place. Still I agree somewhat with what you said about Yakuza 0. As for Bloodborne I don't think I can elaborate how I feel about that game with a paragraph or two. I have completed over 1100 games and it is a Top 15 game for me. I won't be able to do it proper justice so I'm gonna stop with what is already a wall of text.
