9:30 There’s a mission in Watch Dogs 2, that involves breaking into and hacking into Ubisoft’s real San Francisco office which rewards the player with the then unreleased teaser for Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.

Watch Dogs 2 was really not given a fair shake in this game. It was a really surface level assessment in my opinion. I think that game paid a really great tribute to SF like no other on this list. What a great game!

Cisco Heat looks impressively accurate for its time! Have you ever played Kingdom Hearts III? In the San Fransokyo level, you can chill at the Ferry Building & Transamerica Pyramid with Donald, Goofy, & Baymax!

In San Fierro there is a side Easter Egg - if you get the camera you can go around the city taking pictures of the landmarks. Some spots you won't know until you look through the camera lens. Originally the trolley you could also ride but they had to cut it from the game =(

Loya Frostwind I remember playing that in the Metreon. Speaking of the Metreon, the Playstation exclusive “Jet Li’s Rise to Honor” was decent. kzitem.info/news/bejne/qn5p3Yesm5V0f6w What was really meta was I played that for the first time in the then Sony Metreon’s Playstation Store’s Playstation bar, and the game features that same store and building in the game. If you’re old, like me you would remember that Sony built the Metreon in the first dotcom bubble as an optimistic showcase of what technology can be almost in a World’s Fair kind of style. One of the original stores was the Playstation Store, which alongside selling Playstation products had a “bar” featuring every existing Playstation game at the time and you could tell the “barkeep” to serve you any game to demo. You could then buy the game and a memory card of the game. I suppose Sony intended that level as product placement to attract more visitors and potential customers. Now the Metreon’s just a Westfield Mall with a Target and movie theater.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive yeah. Kind of sad. I grew up in the '80s, the ETA of awesome video game arcades in malls(Aladdin's chain) and casinos(Circus Circus). Chuck E. Cheese even had great games (horrible pizza). When I got to college in the '90s, a lot of video games and pinball machines had been replaced by those money-making ticket games. I think Golfland in Milpitas may still have good games, but I haven't been there in over 10 years.

@@LoyaFrostwind My sisters used to work in a knock off version of Chuck E. Cheese called _The Jungle_ on the 555 Ninth Street Retail Center. The crappy pizza there (it was just frozen pizza that they reheated) put them off from eating it for years. In the 90's I remember cherishing going to arcades but my Dad would rarely take me and avoided most because many in SF were dens for seedy activity and gang violence occuring in them often made the local news. We didn't have any good ones nearby, living on the SE side and did not own a car yet so we would have to take the bus across town. The ones he took me to were the one in the Japantown Bowling Alley, the one in Pier 39, and eventually Portal One in the Metreon. I remember him being disgusted by the violence of Mortal Kombat, then challenging me to a game of MKII where he scored a fatality and knocked me off the pit from the bridge just by button mashing then said that the game was stupid and violent and totally inappropriate for kids. (I was in the 1st grade.) Those arcades don't exist anymore. (Wait does the one in Pier 39 still stand? I haven't been over there in years.) But there's this weird trend of bars that are also classic arcades that only allow adult clientele like the Emporium on Divisadero or Coin Op near -Pac Bell- -SBC- -AT&T- Oracle Park. I am guessing they are trying to attract hipster milennials who grew up with those video games and allow them to let loose without fear of having to behave around kids. But I wonder how much banning kids cuts into their potential profit margins since many places have traditionally included arcades and also had bars which served alcohol while allowing children. I personally would have allowed kids during the day and hold 21 and over nights.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive ha ha. I remember playing MK a couple times in the arcade as well as super street fighter II. I didn't do as well there as on my home console (Super Nintendo where I got Nintendo thumb and blisters. LOL). Pier 39 had a great arcade. I remember that one. Also Great America had a good arcade. And they had San Francisco Rush 2049 hooked up in tandem with 8 units for head to head racing with other players (and not having to log into your account). It was wild.

Maybe just don't do the side quests? I love watch dogs and the fact I can use drones. I also really liked the story. I'd love gta vi to implement something like that to the game.

9:00 “I think the story wasn’t all that to write home about...” What? The story was the best and most memorable thing about _Driver: San Francisco._ It took the totally outlandish premise of an undercover cop in a coma possessing the bodies of random drivers to stop the crime syndicate that placed him in said coma and made it work with witty dialogue, colorful characters, and an innovative game mechanic achieving ludonarrative harmony. Erik Wolpaw and Chet Falizsek, the genius writers behind gaming classics such as Old Man Murray, Psychonauts, Half-Life 2 Episodes, Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life: Alyx, cite Driver: San Francisco as one of the best written games ever developed. And they were the team for Old Man Murray so you know they’re extra picky.
