Watch Dogs Isn’t as Unique as Ubisoft Wants You to Believe

GeekParty writes: "When I decided to pick up Watch Dogs, I was fairly sure it was going to be a home run. I’d been following the game since its unveiling way back at E3 2012, and my excitement only grew as its release date grew closer. When it was finally released, I did the responsible thing — because I’m wicked responsible — and waited four days before giving in and buying it."

This guy nailed it right on the head. Watch Dogs literally just ripped code from other UBI games and make a frankenstein. Splinter Cell shooting and cover mechanics, throw in some Assassins Creed parkour and free running, and Driver San Francisco mechanics and BAM! You have Watch Dogs

People are really critical of this game but I don't know why. They say hype but that's really the fault of the media and gamers themselves.

I think Ubi is guilty of a pretty good bit of hype on this one, otherwise I would tend to agree with you.

This game is fun, but nothing special at all and even falls short in many "standard" game areas. Just a shadow of the triple "A" game it could have been.

No sh't, Sherlock. Everyone with a brain who's played this game knows that besides the hacking there isn't much else going on that makes it unique.

Been playing all day.. The story hasn't grabbed me but I'm enjoying the gang hideouts, and the digital trip 'alone' is pretty awesome, a bit creepy too!

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.

Every industry has these issues

Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
