What is there to do in Watch Dog's Free Roam Mode?

If you bought the PS4, Xbox One or PC version of Watch Dogs then you may be aware that it has an online Free Roam mode which supports up to 8 players at a time. Of course you’re probably used to Free Roam in games like Red Dead Redemption and GTA V but in both of those games there are a host of activities for players to engage in, from gang hideouts to robbing stores or putting bounties on players. Watch Dogs on the other hand just throws players into virtual Chicago with no indication of anything to do, it resembles GTA IV’s Free Roam mode except GTA IV had an airport and choppers which resulted in fun, whereas players in Watch Dogs just kind of wander around holding their dicks in their hands. So, what’s the point of it? Four Takuchat.com members teamed up to find out.

I hope this game drops price soon,I am slightly interested just not enough to pay full price.

generic-user-name3585d ago

Yeah, I wouldn't call it a 'must have' title.

KingKelloggTheWH3585d ago

It looks like there is plenty of fun to be had though, well if your guys experience was any indication.

bloop3585d ago

It's definitely worth getting, but don't buy digital. When you finish the game there's absolutely nothing to go back to. It's good for a new ip but reminiscent of the first Assassins Creed. Main campaign can be finished pretty quickly and side missions are very repetitive. I don't know what Ubi were thinking when adding the side missions too. Some types of side missions were really good but there was only a handful of that type, then there's bucket loads of the side missions that were really boring. You'll understand when you play it. Get it, finish it and trade it in.

thorstein3585d ago

I prebought it for PS4. I love it. The only gripe I have is that there is so much going on around me that I have trouble focusing on the one thing I set out to do.

It is fun, beautiful and hacking things just to hack them is fun.

Berezau3585d ago

Got it for $22.50... pc version... boom!

ScottyHoss3585d ago

I'm sorry you wasted 22.50 on an unoptimized game :P

EvilWay3585d ago

Same could be asked for GTA V

Immorals3585d ago

Vehicles in gta 5 are fun to drive.. Driving in watchdogs is plain infuriating!

hkgamer3585d ago

havent played gtav yet but didnt people prefer the graiv driving. gtav supposedly had simple driving mechanics.

Immorals3585d ago

@hkgamer I didn't like the handling in gta4. It was easy and fun to control cars in gtav.

frezhblunts3585d ago

Well IN gta5 online you can make a race on the street with the phone or even go into markers on the map to go into jobs and races together. They should have did that with watchdogs because I hate having to do private to play with friends I want public with friends but it doesnt transfer over the party

ibrake4naps3585d ago

I liked the single player campaign alot! So much to do. Never walked around holding my d!ck

generic-user-name3585d ago

This article talks only about the Free Roam mode, not single player.

ibrake4naps3584d ago

Yes, but one player is definitely worth your coin!

Agent_hitman3585d ago

I have read a lot of negative reviews about this game lately. Thankfully I haven't bought a copy of this game yet.

darkstar183585d ago

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack995d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill995d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi995d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer995d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat995d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee995d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack995d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq1995d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos995d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq1995d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn995d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos995d ago (Edited 995d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad995d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer995d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne995d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer995d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma313995d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack995d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma313995d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1060d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1060d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11059d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921060d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1060d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1059d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1060d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1060d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1060d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
