Watch Dogs Legion : none

Let's just all agree that the blackout hack is the most iconic hack of the franchise, Legion not really following the tradition

[woodworm]

Watch dogs 1 is the best in the franchise. With better lighting, better character models and running animations (i like watching their styles).

[snow]

Watch dogs: All city go down
Watchdog 2: A block go down
Watch dogs legion: He got down

I think the main flaw with watchdogs 2 and it’s blackout specifically is that the game is naturally brighter, ruining the extremely dark effect that should occur from the blackout, it causes the game to feel like this very big and powerful ability isn’t actually that powerful, but rather another little gadget that slightly increases your odds.

I mean like, Aiden is literally THE with the most amazing ultimate ace card, and then in watchdogs 2 and legion, it’s just kinda given up on.

Wouldn't consider Aiden's System Crash in Legion a Blackout at all, it's a completely different ability. It just makes the whole system go haywire within the area (which is still a great ability in fact), you should've did the "Dark Pattern" mission in Bloodline for the evolution since Aiden actually does a Blackout in that moment.

Although I do wish that Aiden at least also has a Blackout ability since it's way too iconic to not be relevant in Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs: was made with hackers in mind.
Watch Dogs 2: was made with gtaV players in mind.
Watch dogs Legion:was made with money in mind.

The original watch dogs was a masterpiece in my opinion. The other 2 are decent games but no where near the original.

[randomsprite]

Watch dogs: need to craft a blackout. better effect
Watch dogs 2: unlimited blackouts but have to wait a minute to get it back. medium effect
Watch dogs legion: shitty effect

[alanmathias]

watch dogs 1 blackout : perfect
watch dogs 2 blackout : cool
watch dogs legion : are you kidding me ?
do you really call this a blackout ?

[damianmesa]

It's a shame this became one of the most powerful things and also one of the most fun things to use in watch dogs and now it's pretty much useless. Almost does nothing in watch dogs legions it looks like. I'm glad I never played it.

[VroReally]

Legion is practically AC odyssey not following a single thing that the franchise does have

[MDAttack]

Watch Dogs 1: *Massive impact*

Watch Dogs 2: here let's call it a day.

Watch dogs legion: Wait what was I suppose to do again?

[thehonkytonkyboy]

WD-the best. WD2-OK. Legion - the worst.

[dylanmelotti]

Never played Legion, but how the hell did they not actually include the visuals of a blackout in Legion? that is crazy.

[yharnamhunter]

Watch dogs 1 had the best and the most satisfying blackout
