Watch Dogs 2 is not for the faint of heart according to the game's recently revealed ESRB description. While the Rating Summary is a bit silly to read, it does reveal a great deal about what you can expect to do in Watch Dogs 2. Here is the description:
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a man (Marcus Holloway) who joins forces with a hacker group intent on exposing corruption in the San Francisco Bay Area. As players explore the open-world environment, they can complete mission-based objectives, interact with characters, and engage in combat with criminals and rival gangs. Players use machine guns, shotguns, assault rifles, and explosives to kill enemy thugs and/or civilians; killing civilians, however, may negatively affect their progress.
Fire fights are often accompanied by realistic gunfire, large explosions, and blood-splatter effects. Some sequences contain additional acts of violence: a man bleeding out and dying from a stab wound; a man shot and killed by an officer. The game contains some sexual material: a man selling child pornography over the phone (no sexual acts or nudity depicted); a strip club depicting pole dancers and topless women; brief instances of male and female full-frontal nudity (e.g., a woman in body paint; a man standing with a woman outdoors).
During the course of the game, characters are depicted smoking marijuana and using needles to inject themselves with drugs; in one sequence, the player's screen warps and blurs after consuming mushrooms laced with acid. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” are heard in the dialogue.
It may be odd, but it is thorough. The back half of the report almost reads like something out of GTA, so perhaps players will also have the freedom to play as a "not so nice" guy.
We recently got a chance to go to San Francisco to get some exclusive hands-on time with the game, the first part of which you can see in the video above. If you're interested in seeing what happens next, you can head on over to our second, third, and fourth parts. Plus, don't forget to check out our in-depth Preview and Exclusive Interview with the game's director, Danny Belanger.
