The Wasted Potential of Watch Dogs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 кві 2024
- Watch Dogs released in 2014 and despite some controversy regarding graphical downgrades and a buggy launch, I found it to be a competent if not good game that had buckets of potential. 10 years down the line, Watch Dogs appears to have not hit the highs it could have and now it seems that it may never get the opportunity, I wanted to explore the potential of Watch Dogs and ramble about it a bit as a game I quite enjoy. Please enjoy.

Sometimes I just fancy playing a game and then chatting bollocks for a bit, please enjoy
same but i just talk to my self tho
Next vid wasted potential of Red dead online
Red Dead Online in a nutshell: Death by sniper every 3 seconds.
I was enthralled by the meta narrative setting up Assassin's Creed that they never followed through with.
Aiden was a well written flawed character. He is an addict/abuser. Super impulsive and always just out for himself and that is who we are playing.
"Wasted potential" is Ubisofts motto by now.
literally what i called them for years
All because they rushed making their games
RIP Watch_Dogs series. The fact that they abandoned it after Legion didn't do well is a shame. WD1 and 2 were some of my favorite games
From a business point of view, I understand why they might not do another Watch Dogs game. However the franchise being far too turbulent for a mainstream to make sense of it was their own doing.
@@Fizhy Yep who thought it was a good idea to go from dark chicago, to bright blue skies san francisco, to the f**king future in london.. What
@@TheHiddenOne690they could have gone with the setting of San Francisco but they took away the subtlety of how the world actually operated on this central operating system and it made everything feel overt.
I thought Legion wasn't tooo bad. Got silly but the perma death setting made more interesting.
It had potential but like the video mention the glitch in wd3 was so overwhelming
My favorite Ubisoft franchise now laid to waste next to Rayman and Splinter Cell. It’s disgusting how awful they treat their franchises that isn’t Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry. RIP 😢💔
They've not done amazingly with those franchises either in my opinion.
It's a shame, Ubisoft used to have such a strong line-up of brands in the gaming space but these days they just... don't.
@@Fizhy I was about to say that. There are leaks about AC red that the leads are 2 characters. An African black male and a shinobi Japanese female. Which is why I'm done with the company as a whole. They are woke ass company now that. Want to appeal to people who think everything needs to be diversity or you're a racist and sexist. Which is pure retarded mentality that I'm done with. What happened to telling history the way it just is with out shoving those agendas in my throat. "Look we support black people, LGBT and females." I'm sick of it I'm not the only one I'm pretty sure. What makes me mad is that there are people who don't give a shit about games and just keep buying these games making the company a lot of profit.
Are we pretending ac hasn’t been beat and exploited to death.
@@johnschwalbThat’s kind of the point he’s making; The ones they don’t squeeze the juice out of for every last drop they ignore entirely and pretend never existed.
Which is better or worse is up to your own interpretation.
RIP Ghost Recon
I suspect Quinn's hackable pacemaker was inspired by Dick Cheney's storied fear of his own pacemaker being hacked while he was Vice President.
Thank god we got the Living City mod for WD1 🔥
Never heard of it, googling it now and it looks like it adds depth to the game so that's cool.
@@Fizhy I really recommend you checking it out. I do also recommend using Police & Factions Redux (there's a version within the download of that mod). You could do a follow up talking about both of them.
You could also check out some other mods like "Classic UI" (a mod that basically puts the UI of the E3 2012 presentation on the original game) and "Fall of Windy City" (a really good graphics mod) but you'll have to make a patch yourself, so if you don't want to break your head, just download Living City and Factions Redux, and put the patch and patch1 in the "data_win64" folder.
I adored WD1, and Aiden actually became one of my favorite characters after finding some of his other quirks to be funny. His banana bread recipe recording always got me.
10 years later, I still feel that way. Perhaps even more so
Watchdogs 1 is such a guilty pleasure. So much potential but I love the location and grim atmosphere. Most NPCs are degenerates with secrets and the cinematic aspect of hacking was so cool.
If only we had a sequel with the potential, atmosphere, and cinematics of WD1...plus the gameplay of WD2. If only...
I agree but is the game bad enough to call a guilty pleasure?
@@baki484 Ikr?
I always thought watch dog 2 an legion was pose to be Aiden game I thought he was be treated like ezio but Ubisoft play maybe if they do a remake of watch dogs 1 they could probably attract newer fans
I don't care what anybody say's the first game was peak.
An absolute masterpiece.
especially the main character i feel like nobody got as emotionally attached to aiden as i was like hes a troubled "cold" guy that is in reality just depressed and full of regret
The water in Watch Dogs 1 though, absolutely gorgeous..
NGL I really enjoyed watch dogs 1, that could also be because i didnt look at any promotional content until after I played it.
It’s also a pretty good game regardless in fairness
For PC players that check out the Living City mod, it is what WD1 was supposed to be, and honestly it would be epic to play that in 2014 if it feels epic to play in 2024. I reinstalled the game and replayed it 2 times in 2023 and 2024 just because of that mod.
Alright u sold me
It's more like a taste of what the game should be but yeah it's great
Most excellent video Sir!
Another big controversy about Watch Dogs was how scummy Ubisoft was with the special editions, to be able to receive everything, you'd need to buy three separate editions of the game!
But if they reboot the game, I'd honestly like to see a prequel, maybe inspired by 1980s computer hacker movies like War Games.
"2014 was a really rough year for ubisoft games in optimization" except for Far Cry 4. That was a game I played day one and never had issues with
I liked all 3 of them (yes, even Legion) but i can't help but wonder what it would have been like under a more competent Publisher. In hindsight, i honestly don't think Ubisoft had a clear plan for the franchise and just started to thrown in whatever they "think" works.
Most likely, none of the three games hit the sales targets Ubisoft had set (which must have been pretty high - these types of games are never cheap to make). The series wasn't an Assassin's Creed-sized hit, despite each WD game likely costing as much to make as each main AC title, and so instead of going for the "iterate on a good formula to make it better" approach, they kept going for the "throw new things at the wall to see what sticks" one, hoping to magically give birth to something that would sell comparably to AC. The result is a franchise where hardly anyone was truly pleased with all three games, given they all have quite different "styles", and despite some shared lore, each game's story could as well take place in different universes.
@@gbl08ma
But Assassin's Creed 1 wasn't a cultural shift until it had more investment into the franchise.
You have to invest in a franchise beyond the first game in order to get "The Ezio Trilogy"
@@Melina_Evarblume_Seelie I fully agree, but the Ubisoft of the last decade seems unwilling to see that. Quick profits matter more.
@@gbl08ma Of course, same with Hollywood.
Amazing series get cancelled after a season. That's just not how engagement works.
@@gbl08mawhat they should of done was stick with Aiden
6:19 (nice) That cutscene was originally supposed to be later in the game and instead of Maurice's phone call playing it would be an extended version of Nicky and Jackson's dialogue, it would also feature the phone call from Frank Janson (the guy who harassed Nicky), originally Big Brother was split into three different missions where Aiden has to unlock the loop (backstage pass in final), then find Frank Janson's associate and then finally have a chase with Frank himself and take care of him
Literally playing Watch Dogs 1 rn
I do believe that Watch Dogs seriously deserves a remake. The game launched in a horrible state and most features that really enhanced the games identity were cut out before launch. Mods such as "Living City" bring back some features but remaking the game to where it combines the gameplay of Watch Dogs 2 and the identity and story present in Watch Dogs 1 would be perfect Imo.
Although Ubisoft would never do this.
I'm glad we're not getting remakes of 10 year old games. Let's hope for better sequels instead, and leave the remakes to the titles that actually need them.
Watch Dogs 1 was such a great game. I loved the serious theme and tone they set with aaedon and the dark world of chicago.
Then they ruined that by giving us a goofy and silly cast of characters and less serious tones in the second game with a neutered weapon system and enemies.
And then Legion just ruined it all at the start with that play as anyone nonesense.
Watch Dogs should've either kept the serious tone or had the story go along with Aaedon. He could've been the Ezio of this franchise. Watch dogs going down the non serious route and also giving us lame characters as the games went on is what completely killed the franchise in my opinion.
bro pls delve further into watch dogs. Your video style hooked me instantly and I watched every RDR/RDR2 video in your catalog, I would absolutely fucking love to see what I missed about this game through your video style.
There isn’t much, Slender Man is graffiti’d all over the place, Bruce Wayne shows up and there’s the Finger Paint Killer who kills women with haemophilia because he also has it.
Watch Dogs 1 will forever remain in my heart as one of my all time favorite video games of all time. This was the first and only game that I went out of my way to start a collection for as I pretty much own a full cosplay of him. I loved the dark gritty vibe of the story and world, getting immersed in it. I could go on for hours about how much I loved and enjoyed this game and how I wish the sequel could've been a continuation of Aiden's story potentially set in St Louis. But sadly it's clear this franchise is dead after legion and it really is a shame but I've also stopped holding my breath when it comes to Ubisoft in general for quite a while.
i think Ubi needs to go full publisher mode and just outsource their games to studios who can focus on just 1 title at a time with a smaller, tighter-knit team. All of their mainline franchises are dead or declining, despite such immense potential and brand recognition that rivals standalone giants in the industry. The problem (in broad terms, there are hours-long videos talking about this) is that the games are too bland, too safe, too underwritten, have forgotten what made them unique and interesting and beloved.
If Bethesda in all her arrogance can outsource a Fallout game that remains (arguably) the most beloved in the franchise, why not have Ubi take a stab at outsourcing the next Watch_Dogs? As publisher they could still have a strong say in the art direction and overall themes, but a dev studio that actually has the ability to give a shit could handle the mechanics, the moment-to-moment. We're in a year where every month a new game made by a tiny indie studio absolutely makes waves in ways only triple-A titles used to. Big teams with an infinite budget isn't the answer; a tight-knit team that knows what they want and gives a damn about what they're doing could save them.
I personally still like WD1 in spite of the clear flaws. I still like Aiden as a character but I am disappointed we won’t see more of him though.
The first Watchdogs was brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed clocking it. I haven't played part 2 & 3 so I can't say whether I like either of them more or less than part 1 .
I thought it was okay, WD2 was better imo, WD3 is pretty bad but some gameplay mechanics are cool
Although I quite enjoy the multiplayer invasions in WD1 (and I could easily go on about the things that make them a somewhat special and unique mechanic not easily transferable to many other games), I couldn't agree more with the majority of the other points in this video and especially the take on "GTA Clones." This is the second UA-cam video where I'm compelled to share two paragraphs of a long rant about Watch Dogs, that I wrote nearly two years ago:
The Watch Dogs games fall squarely into two categories: “yet another Ubisoft open world game” and what some people call “GTA Clones.” It’s hard to argue against either categorization, but the second one, in itself, has some problems. The three Watch Dogs games came out after the initial release of the latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto series (GTA V in 2013), and GTA VI is yet to be officially announced [this was written in early 2022...], so snarky people like me could even say that, if anything, Watch Dogs is a continuation, not a clone, of GTA!
More seriously, there are people on the internet who will happily spend some time telling you how “GTA clone” is a terrible designation that is actually hurting open world games in general, by discouraging developers from making more open world games with a modern setting - and I generally agree with them. But I prefer to attack this “GTA clone” designation in a different way, the childish one, where you point the finger back the accuser and yell “you too!”: GTA Online has, in multiple of its updates, also “cloned” some of the gameplay elements most recently seen in Watch Dogs, and GTA in general has also taken inspiration from different open world games that were released over the years.
Wrench still remains probably my favorite video game character ever.
My favorite game of all time it's number 1
Rdr2 is number 2
Tf2 is 3
Gta4 is 4
Gta5 is 5
Vrchat is 6
(Fnaf [all]) is 7
Watch Dogs 2 was my favorite. I feel like WDL was wasted potential. I really hope they continue with the franchise.
Same. WD2 is really good, even if the story is hipster driven. The map and the gameplay is great.
So happy to you see expanding your analysis to other games too ! Luv u fizhy 🤠!
liking the broader scope of content, man, keep it up
I honestly think they were onto something with the bad blood dlc and the concept of the council of Dave’s/deadsec it’s like Ubisoft just couldn’t be bothered to improve past watch dogs2 they continue to put money and guarantees over potential with risks
That’s the description I suppose I was looking for, they stopped taking risks and a bold innovation became gaming brain rot as a result (especially with Legion, ironically resulting in a bold risk that didn’t pay off)
Yeah seriously man. The first watch dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. Though at the same time it will always be a major sore-spot because of the amazing potential that was just wasted by Ubisoft. This series could of been so much more.
The reputation system wants to be the Honor system from the red dead redemption.
A game for everyone is a game for no one.... game publishers need to finally grasp that idea and start letting devs make good games again
Speaking of good games if you haven't already i think you should try Helldivers 2. Possibly the best game of the year so far (granted i haven't played stellar blade yet so idk which is the better of the 2)
Fun Fact: CTOS is the operating system for Horizon by Fujitsu.
Went back to Watch Dogs 1 & 2 along with The Division Recently, sadly we all missed how good we used to have it. If they did these today it'd be a breath of fresh air in the current market of AAA games
It was the closest we got to modern day assassins creed. The first had the best plot and characters and I liked the rugged approach. 2 I liked the drones. And the hacking felt mostly improved. Plus the chaos you can cause with calling cops or gangs on anyone but the dialogue hurt most the time. Felt like a 60 year old trying to talk how they assume the younger generation actually talks. 3 you can pretty much beat anything with a loader drone, and a spider drone. Just fly out of sight over a base and wipe out as many as possible with the spider drone . The hitman / spy characters are fun and there are some neat gimmicks . Plot was okay ish but never felt immersive due to a lack of a protag.
Why they did not continue a story with Aiden Pierce makes no sense to me.. He was actually a great video game character, I loved his grey-man, subtle attitude and cut to the chase no bullshit dialogue.
Within his character he virtually has no emotion based off of his past experiences but he still has a heart that cares. That makes for such a polarized character that gives great tone to the story.. It made sense.
I know this is an Un-popular opinion but Watch Dogs is my top 10 favorite game of all time. Been playing this game for months and I thought this game was a lot of fun :)
Hey, if you can, please do the downfall of the game series "Driver", also made by Ubisoft and Reflections.
I played this recently. I felt Ubisofts corporate mandate for a large open world game with towers to command was the games downfall. The world felt awkward, the “hacking” while driving, shootouts in traffic, and stealth were all stiff and limited. I also thought the whole vigilante shtick was unnecessary and a product of the post Dark Knight era this game was produced during. This game would have been better had the levels been more Hitman like - large open levels, where the player is free to approach things as they wish with tons of options. The story should have had a heist like element, where Aiden had to plan his approach and connect the dots to the larger goal. What a shame
I’m sad you didn’t bring up the awesome John Wick style gun takedown animations (before John Wick even released), they’re a standout part of the game for many
John Wick didn’t invent takedowns lmao
The first watch dogs was one of the first games I played on my 360 at the time, and since I really didn’t follow social media at the time I had no idea about all the downgrades and stuff.
So to me, it’s a special game
I do appreciate the drama behind Aiden and the safety of his family as he plunges further into the mystery even though it wasn't original concept in crime media
Watchdogs is still one of my all time favorite games. I really enjoyed the gun gun play, storyline, and the hacking ability in the game. My favorite fun was the Beretta Px4 Storm which is pretty unique that you dont really see that gun in a video game. Aiden pierce was pretty cool as well. I enjoyed the game, honestly. Like you mentioned, wasted potential. I have played the 2nd one but literally could not get through the first couple of missions.
I love the first watchdogs, I enjoy the second, just because the second lets me play the game however I want, I can be a butcher or I can be in the shadows using other means to attack, but it fell flat on its face when I could go and slaughter a whole gang and then have the main characters just go “yolo let’s get followers” I believe 1 had the tone but not the focus (with the hacking) and 2 had the focus but not the tone, great vid as always :)
Facts bro the first watch dogs w aiden was od sad they barely implemented much into the storyline on the others (my opinion)
I love the WD series. Legion was the first one i played and it turns out that was kinda the way to go considering how much better the first two are. As a Chicago resident WD1 quickly became my favorite game to play with it's dark atmosphere and story. WD 2 was icing on the cake. Still finishing my first playthrough of it but almost done. I Gotta get WD 1 for pc just to try that living city mod🤘🏿
Personally, I'd love a game that took what splinter cell and watch dogs 1 brought and combined them.
A stealth oriented game where you have to be clever and resourceful to complete your task since direct combat is heavily not in your favor. Like choosing between remote work utilizing drones and access ports, making things take longer and more puzzle like but easier to get away if things go bad. Or more close and personal stealth, sneaking in or disguising yourself to skip the puzzles and such for more direct access but making escaping harder.
A reputation system on who you use the hacking on and what you do with it.
Stuff like that would be amazing. Ubisoft could never lol
I recently saw a watchdogs iceberg about all the secrets the franchise has and now after 4 years of playing watch dogs 1/2 I love seeing all these videos about the franchise.
Watch dogs 1 is my fav in every aspect but I keep all 3 downloaded (sometimes not Legion) cause I like to just drive around in them... I think the maps in watchdogs are seriously underrated even though they're what ppl bring up when praising watch dogs lol
One if my favs youtubers makes my kinda painful day better.
Ubisoft got rich and now they don't care.
I would of loved a prequel WD's game with a younger Aiden Pierce protecting his younger sister Sarah and being mentored by Damian
People hated on the first game soooo much and I dont get it .. this is before I got into using UA-cam as a way to filter games I play .. there is something about trying games yourself rather than listen to media down a game ( yes some games do need to be roasted but there are times like this and days gone where games are overly criticized)
With what Ubisoft has become, I think it's best if it did die. I mean, look at the Saints Row series. You're right though Fizhy, it's still a shame this series ended on such a low note.
Watch_Dogs is super good in my honest opinion, Ubisoft over corrected so damn hard from their own issues it broke any chance at a true franchise. Yet the pieces people end up liking are the parts that deal with Aiden or T-Bone in the other games more than anything. They really dropped the ball all because they were acared to stick with their guns after the marketing disaster around the first game.
Its like they promise us the world, these promises turn out to be mostly lies and then they just dont care about that game anymore. I really would love to know how these devs can keep on working these games when majority of the people talks bad about them…
I subbed to yer channel from your hilarious "Watch Dogs Legion Innit" vid.
What happened to this franchise is sad. 😢
That was some time ago hahaha
New fizhy vid dropped
Hello lad
To me Legion could've been good had they gave you a main character and let you run Dedsec like how you can run MSF and Diamond Dogs from Metal Gear. Like you got field operatives, R&D, medics, intel and connections (getting your operatives out of jail quickly), etc.
Aw cmon you can’t just skim over digital trips with a joke when Alone is genuinely incredible!
Watch Dogs 1 story was quite decent but the downgrade was so bad from the trailer in terms of graphics
Watch Dogs was recommended to me by one of my best gaming buddies and it was one of the first games I played on my new xbone and I fell in love with it. Looking back on it now, after having played it and Cyberpunk, Watch Dogs had this pre dystopian cyberpunk feel to it. The world felt real, dark, and gritty, where you didn’t have to suspend your disbelief too much to get immersed. While the story wasn’t anything super amazing, being a simple revenge story, it was still enjoyable. I didn’t encounter bugs that other players did so thankfully my opinion of the game wasn’t soured by that. Watch Dogs 2 had great gameplay but the story was atrocious. They took the elements of the first game and turned them into a giant parody. I can see why people compared it to GTA 5 because it was just so whacky for the sake of being whacky. The dialogue between characters really drove the nail in that coffin, sounding like a dad trying to relate to his teenager by adopting their slang. I wish they had stuck to the formula of storytelling like the first game or even continued Aiden’s story instead. But alas, here we are. I may give the third installment a try sometime, but I won’t hold my breath for anything that’ll really stick with me like the first did.
Watch_Dogs is one of my favorite open worlds due to it taking place somewhat close to home for me. I don't think it deserved to be made by Ubisoft.
I love this game! And I will allow myself to add a small tip; install these mods for an even better experience:
* Living_city
* The fall of windy city - A lightning overhaul
This would have been better under another studio. This Franchise needs imagination to be a good immersive sim which Ubisoft lacks sadly
First game was easily my favorite. I never played the second one from how goofy it seemed. And legion was annoying, I literally only enjoyed playing the game when you have Aiden from the dlcs. Only time it was fun but you still needed multiple characters to play it.
Watchdogs Legion was my first Watchdogs game. The play as anyone mechanic pulled me. in. I still play it until this day. If the others are as good as you say then i'll give them a try also.
I would love to here you talk about the saints row franchise
Idk if there has ever been a AAA game that actually sold well that could be described as a “GTA clone”. I suppose Saints Row started that way but it quickly became its own thing. I just never really understood that as a criticism, GTA is actually a very unique series.
I find it interesting that people have come around to the first game and against the second since, at the time, people felt the complete opposite about both. At least we all agree Legion was an abomination
Ubisoft should’ve never ditched the Driver series instead they gave us Watch Dogs, a franchise believe it or not, the studio might’ve forgot exists.
I've been on such a watch dogs high for the last month. I love the first game so much, although the gameplay wasn't the best, if it were to get a serious sequel it could've been amazing.
I really loved watched dogs because I hade no prior expectations so it was a great game just wish the would have continued Aidens story in the other games
for me this is the best game i played aiden is a badass
I really wish they continued Watch Dogs because I did enjoy all their games (yes, even Legion). The first Watch Dogs is a game I like much more over time, especially when playing the PS4 version, and I'm glad to see it's become more recognised as an underrated title. While I still like 2 slightly more due to having a bit more variety in gimmicks and preferred map, the first one had a more interesting story and tone that I actually got into the second time, when I didn't really remember it the first time, as well as better combat IMO.
My favorite quote about this gam comes from Whitelight, another youtuber. Watch Dogs is exactly what Ubisoft deserved, it's just not what Watch Dogs deserved
Watch dogs 1 and 2 are actually solid ass games I put hundreds of hours into both amazing stories, amazing progress, and gameplay and I like how both games are unique personally we don’t talk about legion
Legion is good with the hand to hand combat other then that if it had a main protagonist game would did great
Loved gunning defalt down in the rain as he ran for his annoying life. WD1 makes you feel like some unstoppable force.
They couldve done better with WD3
I just replayed this today, coincidence I think not
Watch dogs 1 dissapointed me so much that I haven't touched an ubisoft game since. The vibe of it and Chicago was actually incredible. The hacking had so much potential, and Aiden as a character had so much potential like a hacker batman. But I can't scrape any other good things out of this stinky tank.
I might be The only one, but I prefer to Watch Dogs on WiiU (I’m a sucker for the WiiU gamepad, and it’s features)
Aiit lads and lasses, Another Fizhy deep dive.
Swim with me 🏊♂️
(Was watching a watchdogs gameplay not long ago btw)
i loved WD2 i really wish they didnt keep trying to evolve it into something it wasnt
I'm sad.no more Watch Dogs. I enjoying the Watch Dogs 2 and Legion.special I love Watch Dogs Legion Online.
I really enjoyed the 2nd game the most out of all 3. I had the most fun with that one.
All three Watchdogs games play around the pocket and for one reason or another just never hit it and stay there. Not a unique failing by any means but I feel like an the pieces are there to make each a great game and never come together.
When PS4 came out, this was the only GTA like game on PS4 and yet more people still went back to their PS3 and played GTA V
I really don’t know why they thought WDL was a good idea, they should’ve just been called watch dogs 3 new city no future crap and just be more better idk I just wish it achieved a lot more and possibly be a gta competitor.
Watch dogs 1 will always be my favorite one the DLC was good too
Please make a video on farcry 3 and 4
Love Far Cry 3 and I don’t dislike 4 but after those two games the quality started to descend from the heavens a bit
@@Fizhy so true. Personally I feel ubisoft added shit ton of unnecessary things to make the game seem fun in farcry 5 and 6 which made the game really unrealistic and not very immersive. Basically, the franchise lost its charm.
Aside from Ac, this the game that I really love but sadly it's just most likely never gonna be worked on again...
ubisoft has killed Watch dogs, it's going to be difficult, not more, but I really appreciate that there are more people who bring it to light and don't forget it, and I read the bad news a few days ago and I was hurt by it but don't forget that sometimes a fanbase can do something about it and I really hope it does
The potential of this franchise is extremely wasted and I’m very upset about it. Saints Row was originally my alternative to GTA and I was counting on Watch Dogs to be that Saints Row replacement when Saints Row was having that identity crisis issue with their franchise as well.
These companies puzzle me... they make decisions that they know the fans don't like. And then decide to end the series when they don't get the profit margin they expected... instead of just doing what we ask. If they say they will return to the more serious tone of WD1... with some of the juice from WD2... and show off a badass protagonist attempting to save his family or save the city or anything simple... the game will sell. These companies try too hard to be innovative and attempt to find the next cash cow instead of just going with what works. Its sickening. And Ubisoft is not the only company to do this. Volition just did the same to Saints Row. You purposely ignore your fans wishes...and have the audacity to be surprised when the shit don't isn't received well and doesn't sell well.
I will forever maintain that Watch Dogs 1 had the exact same potential that Assassin's Creed 2 had. Aidan's story has a lot of the same story beats, he's the classic Assassin's Creed protagonist. An angry man chasing revenge for a murdered family member/members. I've never understood people who claimed that an AC game set in modern times wouldn't work, because that's what Watch Dogs 1 was. The story, the world design, the combat, the stealth, the parkour elements. All AC, just dialed back a bit to make breathing room for the new mechanics. It even ties into AC4's story at one point, with you killing an Abstergo CEO in a side mission and the main story hinting that CTOS and Blume are all Templar fronts.
It really had so much potential. People are too quick to deal heavy backlash to new IPs, never allowing them the grace needed to grow with time and additional entries. Mass Effect Andromeda suffered this same fate. Aidan deserved a trilogy, and I will legitimately die mad about the fact that it will never happen because of people being whiny that it didn't make their graphics card cry enough.
The worst thing about this game is that all the available outfits look exactly the same. And you can't try them on in the store so in order to see them you have to actually buy them.
You called?
