I loved the games #Watch_Dogs and Watch_Dogs 2 for many reasons. However, I had very mixed feelings about the third entry in the series, #WatchDogsLegion.

One of the reasons was that I felt the game was totally walking back on a lot of the authentically progressive and somewhat leftist writing and art of the previous two games.

In Legion, a shady cryptofash private security company has taken over London by way of corruption and data-driven mass manipulation. We play as the resistance.

However, incredulously, the entire resistance revolves around getting the (then) Queen of England back into office, and reinstating the original Met Police, the cops. Our hard-hitting radical #antifa slogans are the likes of "Have you seen our regent about?".

Back then I rolled my eyes so hard, thinking that if this was real life, there's no way a serious radical anarchist resistance group would suddenly be cheering for the regular cops and the return of literal monarchy.

But now, I have to apologise.

Because now I see American Dems and progressives cheering for the US police and hoping they'll do something against ICE 'agents'. The Black Panther Party marching with LEOs.
Dems cheering that regular cops are 'at least properly trained, unlike ICE', or that ICE under Biden was some kind of righteous humanitarian organisation deporting criminals, has killed my soul several times over.

Sorry, Ubisoft. You lot were ahead of your time. You've portrayed liberals perfectly fine.

I was playing #WatchDogsLegion and I had my car on Auto drive to get to the next marker, destination.

Once it was there, they was a biker. The auto drive hit the biker, reversed, and hit them again, knocking them off their bike 🏍 😆 🤣

And the UK 🇬🇧 thinks A.I is the future

So I put Watch Dogs: Legion back on the console after over a year to remind me of our future again.

And I gotta say just how bad Ubisoft ruined and killed off this series sucks.

The whole 'recruit anyone' and permadeath was always going to be boring if there are only a handful of mission types.

They should have just used the special recruitable characters as the main characters.

And of course Bloodline was really what WD:L should have been anyway. As soon as I played with Wrench and Aiden it became fun again, and that's basically who I only played in my non-permadeath completion in the end - but that DLC and the characters came way too late for the game and the series.

Wrench is just my man, and back in the better times, I'd ship him and Marcus just like the rest of the fanbase.

It's so sad it's gone. And of course MindsEye was clearly meant to be a spiritual successor - and we know what happened there.

In *today's* #WatchDogsLegion was a prophecy, not a video game:

Once Starmer hands Reform the next election, I don't think I'll need to play #WatchdogsLegion any more as I'll be fucking living it.
