Watch Dogs 2

I also don't care much for playing as multiple characters at any time in a game. It's actually not a mechanic that I like. (Not talking about class-based competitive games of course.)

I never launched Watch Dogs 2 after I upgraded to 16GB of RAM, which maybe could have improved my performance issues.  (Or maybe it was a DX12 thing?)

I never liked the characters very much (before I stopped anyways) and admittedly I didn't get to know them that greatly yet and did not grab me at the start.  It was, at the time, new-Ubisoft predictable character design and writing, from the amount I have seen.  Also, partially my fault (Only partially.) - This was yet another Ubisoft game where the design of the world map and activities in it did not go properly with how I play open world games.  Now, I really rather enjoyed the randomly-generated base heists.  But it never tells you that's what they actually are.  And, it never gives a permanent indication of which ones you've completed before.  After you complete one, the "mission" that takes you do that place disappears... and then you get another one for that exact location (newly generated) just by literally driving down the street.  I was kind of actually waiting for an indicator that maybe at some point I'd run out of hand-made versions of those locations and I never did.  The other little thing I got to do, besides messing around with Scissor Lifts (or whatever you want to call them) and driving them around SF, was the Uber "Driver: SF" taxi missions.  It has nothing to do with Driver: SF, that's just what they call the app.  And I got a particularly obnoxious customer.  Oh yeah, I also had a crapload of combative moments with other players appearing.  You pretty much know exactly when they're going to trigger, which is kind of sad.    Except for sometimes the players on recon missions, if they don't make themselves obvious.  But you can sometimes find hints of those occurring too.... mainly half of the missions on the map disappearing, damnit, Ubisoft!
