Forums - Gaming Discussion - So did anyone genuinely enjoy Watch Dogs?

Tagged games:

After a couple months of chipping away at it, I finally completed Watch Dogs (on X1 for those who are curious).

Let me make a list of pros and cons.

+ Gun play was pretty fun
+ Good stealth mechanics
+ Gadgets were unique
+ You could swim away to end frustrating and boring missions
+ Graphics are pretty

- Gun play was also kind of a mess and moving around feels clunky
- Car chases are a pain in the ass especially when they seem endless
- I relied on swimming away to end frustrating and boring missions too often
- Hacking mini game was used too often
- Missions that require you to jump from camera to camera were boring
- Missions that require you to guide people while jumping from camera to camera were boring
- Missions had little variety


All in all... this is a hard game to recommend. Its somewhere between 6-7/10. I just traded it at GameStop for about $30 and put it toward Diablo III: Ultimate Edition on 360 (a $40 title). I'm content with that decision.

I really hope they wait more than a year to do a sequel, no need to rush it and make another mediocre game.

I've had it for a couple of months and still haven't beat it. I just have no motivation to continue when there are better open world games to play like GTAV or Saints Row 4. The hacking was neat at first but it became painfully repetitive. Felt like every mission was almost exactly the same.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Idk, I played it and I liked GTA V better so I went back to that lolll

Ubisoft really put a bad taste in my mouth after all the issues they had with watch_dogs so I didnt really care tbh

If you have an xbox one, why are you getting diablo 3 on the 360?



I enjoyed Watch dogs, though it isn't perfect. I preferred sleeping dogs to both this and GTAV

Fun:

Gang hideouts

Missions which involved stealth

Taking out cars

Story while not amazing, was okay

Some of the online modes are fun

Being invaded

 

Dislike:

I disliked driving, as I felt it didn't handle as well as it could.

The hacking game is far too frequent

Hacking things kills pedestrians too easily, so you have to chase down criminals as using the hacking tools hurts rep

Rep was pointless

Money is pointless, what do I do with my 2.5 million

I enjoyed the game and it has a lot of potential. I got all the trophies on it within two weeks of the game release.
