You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker and former thug, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy…and more.
Watch_Dogs gives you the ability to not only use the city's ctOS to your advantage, but the streets as well. In real-world Chicago, cut through buildings or climb to the rooftops to catch your target.
I liked playing it, had a varity of tasks to do. I failed many of them but eventually I got through, recommended if you like some adventure.
Game very good. To meet the proposal, it was brilliant. I hope your continued keep the level.
I'd like to give this game a 7/10, although the rating system won't allow half stars.
Watch Dogs is Ubisoft's attempt at creating an open world action game mirroring the GTA series.
It focuses on the main character Aiden Pearce, who is a vigilante and expert hacker. In this respect it differs from GTA, because you're actually the "good guy".
The graphics look great, and the gameplay is decent. There are some cool moments where you can use your phone to hack traffic lights and bollards to escape pursuing enemies, or cameras to watch their movement.
The story is fine, although nothing fantastic and the characters aren't particularly memorable. In addition, there are many repetitive and boring side activities to grind (this is common in all Ubisoft games).
Overall, Watch Dogs is definitely worth purchasing. It's nowhere near as good as GTA, but it offers a unique experience, and for the cheap price its dropped to there's no excuse.
Story mode is great and overall gameplay is absolutely amazing. Has a very fun but tragic campaign and i cant get enough of it. not to mention the mini games aka (digital trips) i totally recommend this game. 10 out of 10 worth the purchase.
The game is ok with decent gameplay and mechanics and the story is kind of a let down. Aiden our protagonist is quite bland and most of the other characters are but there is an exception which is ''Jordi'' and he is a fantastic character whose screentime is golden but unfortunately he is pretty much underused . Sure the main reasons to play this game is because of the hacking mechanic but in all seriousness its quite simplistic. I wished there were more options for the hacking as its quite controversial at times for example you can play as a vigilante helping people out when they get attacked and become the ''hero'' of the city but that exact same ''hero'' can hack bank accounts of hundreds or people and what is more surprising is that you can't help those people suffering of cancer or Aids ( in the game -_- ) by giving them money by transfering it and basically giving them a big fck you since most of the time these people are the ones that get their accounts hacked. There is no reward whatsoever to not hack those people's accounts, no increase in your reputation as a good guy and not even consequences to these actions. I swear you can hack the bank accounts of millions of people and nobody will complain which is just dope since this option would have added another layer of depth to the game.
And of course since its a ubisoft game its a crappy Pc port. Even with a powerful pc you can get a lot stutters and frame drops especially when driving at high speeds.
Ultimately the game is fine but it was way too overhyped for its own good. Its still quite a lot of fun and enjoyable :D. But it does need some good polishing.
