who do you play as in watch dogs 2
Watch Dogs 2 Similar to its predecessor, Watch Dogs 2 is an action-adventure game with stealth elements[1] and played from a third-person perspective as protagonist Marcus Holloway, a young hacker, the game features an open world environment set in a fictionalized version of the San Francisco Bay Area,[2][3] an area more than twice as large as the Chicago setting from Watch Dogs.[4] The Bay Area consists of four different areas: San Francisco, Oakland, Marin, and Silicon Valley, all of which have different characteristics and aesthetics.[5] Players can navigate the game's world on-foot or by the various vehicles featured in the game, such as cars, trucks, buses, cable cars, motorcycles, quad bikes and boats.[6] The driving mechanic was overhauled and designed to be more accessible.[7] The players can shoot their weapons while driving.[8] Marcus also has improved acrobatic skills, and the ability to parkour around the city.[9] Players can use different methods to approach the game's missions, choosing between the aggressive approach, in which they defeat enemies with guns which are made with a 3D printer; explosives, like mines; or Marcus' own melee weapon, a billiard ball attached to a bungee cord. Alternatively, players can use the stealth approach, in which they can evade enemies or paralyze them temporarily with Marcus' taser.[3][9] Players can also complete the game through hacking alone.[10] When players commit too many crimes, the police officers will become alerted and will attempt to arrest the player.[11] The game upgrades system is a returning feature, with items being divided into three categories: Ghost, Aggressor, and Trickster. Players can choose their upgrades in accordance with their own playstyle.[8]
