This game really disappointed me. I had fun with it for the first few hours, but after that all it's flaws really become apparent. I do see it's potential though so hopefully Watch Dogs 2 will rectify everything this game got wrong.

rdgneoz34021d ago

It has potential and is fun for messing around with friends in.

As for the bug, a little late to the party. It was reported back on release day... No fix yet, but they think they "isolated the problem"...

It's about f***ing time the posted an article on n4g about this problem. I've had this bug for weeks now and haven't played since. I'm not willing to start the campaign over since I progressed pretty far but it pisses me off that I paid $60 bucks on a game I was only able to play for 2 weeks. I've been waiting for a fix Ubisoft

Fix it Damnit

rdgneoz34021d ago

@Redrum, notice the topic creator of the thread? :P Right after I had logged out, I got the hotspot achievement and couldn't log back in. I waited a little over a day and then just started a new game since I figured it'd be similar to the gta online bug that lost me a character. No problem since.

C-H-E-F4021d ago (Edited 4021d ago )

can't jump
can't shoot in cover (no look)
can't shoot while driving
can't buy and match outfits (majority sucked ass I just kept the "WHITEOUT" on the majority of the time
POLICE don't patrol, they show up once every 15 real life hours or so... How can you have a game that is within such a "governed" city that has no police on the streets?? but when they are called and the scan happens they are there within milliseconds??
can't enjoy the game after completion... granted I went for the platinum but the game was soooo dull after beating unlike the GTA giant
can't customize weapons
can't customize cars
can't stop dreading dumb hack mini games...
can't stand dull mulitplayer (fun the first 3-5 times per game mode)
can't get into the story with cheesy voice acting.. really didn't care about any of the characters... and the story was soooo flat...

so many things you can't do that should've been a given especially with the game dev life cycle of this game...

enjoyed the game till Act 2 then I did side missions and everything else because the story was just sooo flat... smh, hopefully they do alot of work with it in WD2, like they did with AC2

Dynasty20214021d ago

I found GTA far more boring.

Story was jumping all over the place at times, not much mission variety, empty world as usual etc.

CD64054021d ago

It's an Ubisoft game, they always disappoint. They promise too much and never deliver. Plus, their games go on 20 hours longer than they should.

C-H-E-F4021d ago

The drinking side mission alone was overly extended no way they tested that crap and thought... OMG they would love this... and there's so much that has been tacked on for watch dogs that was in GTAV. I wonder what kind of game was it a year ago, because the stuff like blacking out and being drunk def. wasn't in there you the screen gets blurry, but he's walking regular (no drunk animation). So much crap in this game that shouldn't and so much that isn't that should be. Def. won't be buying WD2 until I can find it used.. Ubisoft won't be getting anymore of my money from this series until they prove themselves.

frankied1014021d ago

Finally some exposure I have been on Twitter Facebook phone with them and nothing its been broken since the first Friday of release. I have over 30hrs and nothing is being said today they offered me 75uplay points..... For anyone who doesn't know it's pretty much nothing especially since I have all watchdogs Ubisoft uplay point content.... It's like offering someone with food poisoning another bite... 3rd week of the issue a game we paid 65$ for and cannot play I have tried contacting ign gamespot just to get some kind of noise out.... Nothing. This glitch is effecting thousands and we get generic responses and abysmal compensation. Check the 90% glitch Ubisoft forums it's horrible

bahabeast4021d ago

all honesty i think they just tried too hard to put soo much different stuff in the game, i wish them all the luck and im waiting for the division :)

0P-Tigrex4021d ago

Glad i didn't waste my money on this.

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.

RaidenBlack1422d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1422d ago (Edited 1422d 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.

HankHill1422d 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.

obidanshinobi1422d 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.

LamerTamer1422d 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.

gantarat1422d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1422d 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?

RaidenBlack1422d 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.

BlaqMagiq11422d ago

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

Profchaos1422d 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.

BlaqMagiq11422d ago

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

chicken_in_the_corn1422d ago

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

smolinsk1422d ago (Edited 1422d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1422d ago (Edited 1422d 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_toad1422d 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.

LamerTamer1422d 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.

TheSinsibleOne1422d 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.

LamerTamer1422d 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.

TheEnigma3131422d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1422d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131422d 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."

vallencer1487d ago

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

Pridefall1487d ago

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

mikefizzled11486d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921487d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1487d ago

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

Gameseeker_Frampt1486d 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.

WeAreLegion1487d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1487d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1487d 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.
