Watchdogs is pretty rubbish. Hopefully Far Cry 4 and The Division is much better.

NovusTerminus3603d ago

It's not rubbish. It's not the end all game they said it would be, but no game really lives up to hype.

It's a solid entry into what could be a really good franchise. Remember the jump from Assassins Creed 1 to 2?

Yukicore3603d ago

But I really liked AC1... :(

Sure the way of delivering the story was a bit boring, and the story itself seemed like a big mindf*ck, but I felt more assassin than in any other Assassin's Creed game, not sure why, but all the rest AC's felt non-authentic.

The character was overpowered and non-assassin like, just a random dude who seeks revenge.

It was because the first one was created on a much more serious note, the rest were so optimistic about you assassinating all the people, you were just stabbing all the people for fun.

KTF263603d ago

I agree with you
when you think it's GTA then it's rubbish
but WD isn't GTA
say anything about Ubisoft's PR but they said it's not GTA

Watchdogs is one of the most disappointing game ive played in a long while. Nowhere near as good as gta5 on so many levels. Its soulless and dull and good god what a bad music section. I would give it a 5/10 this game leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I'm never gonna believe another word ubishaft say.
there was nothing "next gen" about watchdogs imo

millerj27403603d ago

I'm actually having the exact opposite experience with the game. I had no expectations for Watchdogs and for the longest time I had absolutely no interest in the game at all. I was bored one day and had some ps store credit so I bought it, and I've had an absolute blast with it. My only regret was buying it digitally, since I don't see much replay value once I do get tired of it.

Basically what I'm saying is, from personal experience, I think the hype killed this game more than anything else for most people.

sungin3603d ago

but no game really lives up to hype=DAMAGE CONTROL

Geekman3603d ago

Can we go one Ubisoft article without someone complaining about Watch Dogs? The games good. It's your own fault you overhyped it. If someones revealing a game, chances are they're going to showcase it on the highest possible end of the PC. But you idiots act surprised when it doesn't look like that on the consoles. The only thing dragging the game down was Cross Gen.

WobbuffetMC3603d ago

As the author of this article, I can tell you for sure that the hyp was from Ubisoft, not us.

KTF263602d ago

Ubisoft didn't introduce it as GTA Killer
fans did it

WobbuffetMC3602d ago

Im mainly speaking in a graphical sense.

KTF263602d ago

graphical sense then yes

snookiegamer3602d ago (Edited 3602d ago )

The people that are disappointed in Watch Dogs are the same kind of people who soak up all the (media) hype, expecting the re-invention of the wheel. Totally like, when a friend really over hypes a particular Movie they had seen, and when you watch it yourself, you wonder what all the fuss is about.

I'm on my 2nd playthrough (Realistic Mode) with aiming assists turned off. I've even adjusted to the driving mechanic and am very happy with this IP.

I'm hoping for a sequel where 'Jordi Chin' or 'Clara Lille' are cast as the lead characters. Aiden's a super snoozefest.

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.

RaidenBlack1021d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1021d ago (Edited 1021d 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.

HankHill1021d 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.

obidanshinobi1021d 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.

LamerTamer1020d 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.

gantarat1021d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1021d 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?

RaidenBlack1021d 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.

BlaqMagiq11020d ago

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

Profchaos1021d 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.

BlaqMagiq11020d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1020d ago

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

smolinsk1021d ago (Edited 1021d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1021d ago (Edited 1021d 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_toad1021d 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.

LamerTamer1020d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1021d 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.

LamerTamer1020d 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.

TheEnigma3131021d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1021d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131021d 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."

vallencer1086d ago

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

Pridefall1085d ago

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

mikefizzled11085d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921085d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1085d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1085d 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.

WeAreLegion1085d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1085d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1085d 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.
