Warning this may contain spoilers albeit just from the beginning of the game
How to Reproduce
- Run the game and watch the intro (there are youtube videos of the intro out there)
Description
The cut scenes in the intro (and currently the first "nightmare") have this corrupted look to it.
Personal Notes
I would add screen shots but I'm currently playing it on my PS4. If I get a PC version I might upload screenshots or if I figure out how to take screenshots on my PS4 I'll upload those.
Now back to my "bug". I know this isnt really a bug, and that the developers have artistic license on how they want to tell their story. However it still hurt my head. I understand that Watch Dogs is set with all this hacking/computer/internet background. However i dont think corrupted cut scenes should be one of them.
Now I honestly have only played the game for a couple of hours and I do like the game so far. The controls will take some getting use to, but I'm sure once i get use to it I'll start using the environment better to take down people. Till then bear with me. However to i think to tell a story you need a good setup. Who is the main character? I thought the little girl was his daughter? Was it? I don't know!! Wait that is his sister? What does his sister have to do with it? TT_TT
If it isn't then the reason for the main protagonist isn't a really a good one on why he's doing all this. This is all the more made confusing with the cut scenes. They show glimpses of the past (i think) but that's not all. The glimpses are so fragmented, there is never a single frame which doesnt have corruption and they constantly jump from different perspectives but still all fragmented. It was like watching a hi def movie that was corrupted. This I think is what the developers were trying to get at. However if I was the story teller. I would show better glimpses of the people involved, one at a time, so that it gives me more of a hint on who I need to hunt, and as the game progresses the scene gets clearer and clearer till I find out all the people involved and have hunted each of them down. Now this might be what happens in the future, only time will tell. Till then I'm going to go play/watch my hi-def corrupted cut scenes and cry in the corner.
