I fought 10 long years defending this game and seeing how the public opinion of it has shifted is a breath of fresh air for sure…
I loved it on release but watch dogs 2 was a miss
Lol only good one in the series, and no one appreciated it when it dropped
I still hated it but 🤷🏾♂️
Same, always liked this game
Dude me too
10 years!? God, where did the time go....
it flies
You fools...@@gameranxTV

I played Watch Dogs as soon as it came out in 2014 and it is still one of my favorite Ubisoft games ever.
Okay but Rabbids Go Home is better
@@orrbrossquared8094 😅
Same I had the Xbox one and 360 versions still loved and played the hell out of the 360 one cause I had the r2d2 edition haha, then I moved to pc and I have played in 970, 1060, 1080ti, 2080, and now a 4070 I also bought the barely competing with 20series Xbox series and have played it there too. It’s just a game that I will not get tired of, same for mafia 3.
Right it got so much hate but seeing the state of games now, I can see why it’s getting love
@@XxDatBoyFly1xXso you need bad games to release in order to like a game that got hate. It’s like saying gas cars are better than electric cars because they can go further. Strange how both need a crutch in order to compete.
Just strolling through the streets when its a rainy night, listening to my favorite songs and looking for crimes is something I never get tired of this game
God this so much this. I love listening to FIne Again by Seether, Like a Stone by Audioslave, or songs akin to those. Early 90s grunge really fits the game's vibe.
@@samuellauer3236 Yes, This game is so much better that it was perceived
Watch_dogs 1 actually make you feel like THE protagonist
Watch dogs as an IP had a lot of potential
I think they should continue with the franchise like it’s really almost there if they take the best parts from the first 3 particularly 2 and really focus on quality of life, responsive controls and and kick ass story the franchise can elevate to where it should have been a long time ago
@_R3lic it really has the potential to be as topical as ever with the rising privacy invasion of tiktok Google etc and ai, the games really did predict the future. Just that it wouldn't be a CtOS network with all your data, its just a phone now
It would literally give serious competition to GTA with it's undisputed better gameplay and immersion, it just needed more attention but Ubisoft can only see Assassin's creed
If Ubisoft wasn’t handling it ya maybe. They’ve never been known for story telling or world building.
“has” a lot of potential
I LITERALLY just finished my very first play through of Watch_Dogs 1 last night. I wanted to kick myself for missing out on such an awesome game over the past decade. The timing of this video dropping today is CRAZY!
👀🤝
So it's never too late to play old games?
@@MightGuySevereLeafHurricaneHell naw to the naw naw naw
I just beat it for the first time bout a week ago and I bought it like 2018.
Congrats for beating one of the best games made
Crazy how Cyberpunk repeated the SAME EXACT mistakes Watch Dogs lived through a generation prior
In one hand, cd project red started hyping cyberpunk way too early in the development stages and the game was originally announced in the early 2000-2010. People were tired of waiting. In the other hand people pressured cd project to release the game before it was done and cd just obliged. When it comes to ubisofts mistake, they just showed a game that had nothing to do with the final product. At least cd is still working on cyberpunk
@@amaeltewolde4888Don't be too nice on CDPR. They fucked up just as bad.
It wasn't the audience's impatience that made them release early, it was them being beholden to investors. Which they are 100% responsible for.
They also definitely over-advertised the features of the game.
And worst of all, the old console versions were _literally_ unplayable. Genuinely unprecedented levels of a broken mess.
Praise them, cause they fixed the game. But don't stifle the initial complaints just because it's now good. They deserved all the flak they got.
@@hundvd_7 past is in the past man, let the disaster be their greatest lessons
@@loneshxdowwatch now how nobody will learn from this and preorder the next cdpr game
The main difference is that you could at least play Watch Dogs when it was released
Watch Dogs is basically the TV show Person of Interest in video game form
You mean Person of interest is watch dogs in TV form
Highly, HIGHLY recommend to anyone who enjoyed Watch Dogs 1
@@mono5401 Person of Interest launched first
Very few people know about this show, what a total gem.
will definitely watch thanks, WD1 is an awesome game and definitely one of my favourites
I feel like I’m doing things right… buying 10 year old games at a steam sale for $5 and modding them is totally the way to go.
✋️Wait!!!!
I must do that lol...
Heading to Steam😂😂🚶🏾
It's not even on sale
@@Wr0zen lol ok… thanks for the update
@@Wr0zen Mate you missed the summer sale. Its on sale at Ubisoft. Steam has a summer, spring, fall and winter sale. Look out for the next season sale.
Don't forget all the free games you can collect as long as you don't mind having a dozen game launchers installed
My only issue with that game is if I want to get 100% then I need to do online stuff...but I don't want to.
I really suggest you do the online hacking, Its sooo FUN
You do need to do a bit too much online to 100% ngl. The Online stuff in it is some of the most fun integration for a single player game I've played tho. I was pretty against it, and it is barebones- but worth the try. I was completely against Invasion PvP, until it happened naturally. First I was like "this is such a BS distraction", Then I had a blast playing Hide & Seek with guns lol.
Thats my issue with a lot of games. I should be able to get 100% without online. Im willing to settle for local co-op, but online is somewhat stupid for achievements.
It’s really easy, you honestly just need one person to help get the more difficult ones, my brother and I did it together.
I remember 100%ing this game quick enough that I was able to return the game to GameStop within their return window. The manager of the store was impressed and I got featured in one of their blurbs they used to send out. Absolutely loved this game back in the day
Blacklist was so underrated. Can’t believe it’s not talked about more tbh and I loved the first splinter cells
We need a new splinter cell miss them games
Currently playing blacklist now on Xbox backwards compatible
@@EVERYDAYGames00just installed it on my pc, already completed the first couple of missions. Great game so far!
TH-cam comments nowadays always has a pleb saying "x" game is underrated. Lmao
Conviction,, Blacklist,, Vanquish... All these games is a trully masterpieces
Wtf I've been replaying this this week. You spying on me. Jake?
👀
same 🤣
@@gameranxTVnext Time buy the man some pizza dude.
@GameranxTV (Dark Humor) Gameranx starts Swatting People 😂
Yea, i just installed this game today and played for 1 hour, i wanted to play it again, now im here talking to my friend that this is a big coincidence 😂😂😂😂WTF
Still the most misunderstood game of all time. To this day people still don't realize that the main character, Aiden Pearce, is supposed to be unlikeable, he is not a hero, the game is about how wrong vigilantism is and how Aiden falls into this rabbit hole, this cycle of violence and murder that completely ruins him and the people around him. Despite the fact that he goes against very bad people, he isn't a good person.
Ironically, he is my favorite protagonist because of his imperfections.
He means well but gets impulsive or distracted, he brings people he loves into his dirty life purely without meaning to or realizing he is.
However, by the end of it all, he is too far into the rabbit hole that he has nothing left for him now, so he plays what he put down and embraces the life of The Vigilante.
Also his roast on the whole “Revenge is always bad, I’m empty” trope is amazing.
Knowing this, the story is so much better. I like the way the story went. So many people don't understand the objective of the story
I never particularly liked Aiden or the games storyline in general, but that didn’t sully my enjoyment of the game. I just wish Ubisoft didn’t shove his family in your face to try and make you sympathize with him. Dead niece, kidnapped sister, traumatized nephew, all bc this a hole wants to play hacker man, and we are supposed to care lol. Nah. It was fun to run around hacking shit and blowing stuff up. The story was kinda garbage, aside from a few cool characters (jordy, lucky quin, that hick hacker dude that’s also in WD2; ETC) I didn’t see it as anything more than a half baked, poorly written excuse to engage the games fun mechanics and explore the very detailed world. Ubisoft is not known for writing particularly good, well written stories with intricate, deep, fleshed out characters.
Aiden is likeable as hell. To me anyways.
It has an incredibly compelling non sterotypical ending where the hero wins and the villain lose
The good thing is that even when Aiden wins ( he beat all the other bad guys) he still loses ( his sister and nephew left him)
7:09 Story still bland??? WTF Dude??? This is a pretty great story. Not crazy interesting or anything, but it's nowhere close to BLAND
I still gets flashbacks of that trailer every now and then - it was just such a moment
yep
I can’t remember how many times I watched it. That citywide blackout hack lives rent free in my head.
@@grandmasterace4785And in three entries to this now-defunct franchise, we never saw anything remotely close to that, or, well, pretty much *anything* from the original trailers…
@@SaltSpirits I think there was a city-wide blackout hack you can get eventually in the first game. Didn’t play the second game much and I was bored with the third. Initially thought the concept of no lead protagonist would be fun but it just made me not care about anyone.
i saw watchdogs and i just clicked
How can I make the boat faster
simple gamer ha!
The _original_ trailer made it look like a PS4 Pro game. Oh, Ubisoft! 🙄🤑
lets not forget about the original The Division 2 trailer 😂😂 Ubisoft loves pulling fast ones
I still cant believe people actualy thought it was gunna look like that trailer 🤣 silly fools
The original r6 trailer 💰
@@MrSkullMerchantthing is the files for the demo are actually in the game.
Ubisoft anticipated mobile game trailers
oh man this was the game that inspired 17yo me to study CS in uni and pursue a career in cybersecurity and finally landed a $50/hr job. thank you ubisoft
Do you have insta or something I’ve been wanting to get into cs ?
It's actually ironic that WD1 and DL2 both had controversy about their E3 trailers vs the launch product, while both protagonists are named Aiden😂
It’s a coincidence, that’s not ironic.
@martianman9797 It's coincidental and ironic at the same time.
@@Dystopian_Phantom_595 it’s not ironic at all. You’re just saying that because you find humor in the similarities, but that’s the opposite of irony.
What's ironic about it😂 (Ironic is when sth turnes out to be the exact opposite of how it is suggested/supposed/thought to be)
But still can with mods. Wd1
Watch Dogs 1 and 2 were great games, Love the different vibes between the two
Third is not bad too ? you can play with Aiden full story and it is good game but what they make to play with different characters that destroyed 3 game they have no soul and do not have special conversation but Aiden have and that Anarchy guy kid :)
The politics of WD2 was too on the nose and polluted the game.
I've found the third to be fairly fun and enjoyed playing various people for roles and abilities.
@@georgejones5019bro the politics of 3 was WAY more on the nose than 2 and WAY more "polluted". What are you smoking ..?
Watch Dogs 2 was my favorite. Part one was good imo. But as soon as I seen the concept of the third one, I was like "nah".
same... My spirit tells me to skip 3 😅
1 was underrated AF, 2 was ok, and Legion was...well you know a shitshow.
there are no 3
@@mlloser8318legions
Apart from the Aidan DLC for 3. That shit was good story wise tbf
@@ITYSL I thought 3 was okay but the DLC was in my opinion better. I believe its due to being focused on set characters rather than the main game being randoms.
Legions was like Vice City it's not considered 3 just like when GTA 4 came out after San Andreas there was two games after GTA 3 not considered 4
Watch Dogs 1 is one of 3 single player games that I've played thr campaign of more than once. While the game isn't perfect, the atmosphere is AMAZING. You feel like a real life batman, saving the city in the shadows but in a realistic way. 2 had the better gameplay, 1 had the best story, and 3... well yeah.
SAME I've replayed the whole game about 5 or 6 times and I never do that
Legion is just a spinoff title the same way Ubi releases FC Primal/FC Blood Dragon/AC Rogue. Im still holding up my hopes for Watch Dogs 3 if that ever comes true
What are the other 2?
@evieyak Alien: Isolation (one of my favorite games ever), and Fallout 4! Usually only like to complete a game once so it forces me to always try new games out there, but might be replaying Skyrim soon.
Waste of time😂 damn your the types of guys that plays gta games over and over and still not bored
Hey! I posted the "Fall of Living City" mod that merges the two mods on Nexus! Saw this video on my frontpage and happy to see it shouted out, as making it easier for people to get both installed was my goal. I just realized its out of date, but should be updated shortly.
Thank you for your service, sir.
I'm glad I'm not the only person that remembers the ambush mission that plays Wu-Tang Clan in the background
that mission was epic
C.R.E.A.M
People denied themselves an aamzing game because the puddle was smaller and there was no leaves in the air, insane. Game was amazing story and gameplay, let alone the multiplayer was out of this world
Yeah I had tons of fun with it even on 360. I did enjoy the higher framerate on PC though
@@DEVILTAZ35 yeah, i even got collector's edition, dedsec, aiden pearce is a badass. Amazing soundtrack, awesome gun fight. I didn't manage to play the 2nd , didn't feelnthe same, let alone the 3rd.
@@BitOfBoth The second one was actually pretty good. The 3rd one while it has a few cool gimmicks just isn't as fun since each of the infinite characters you can play can only have what they start off with as far as weapons which really hurt the game.
Amazing story? Go check your taste buds bud, i think you might have some shit stuck between your teeth
So you’re gonna ignore the fact that the graphics were complete dogshit and the trailer were deceptive?
This is weird timing ive recently redownloaded it and replayed through it and it still remains one of my favorite childhood games
👀
you play it on steam?
I was there when the trailer dropped. After years and years of PS3 360 gen I remember the trailer being so mind blowing. Watching it now, it's the little things, the way the wind blows stuff across the street and how Aiden and NPC clothes and all fabrics on screen react to that wind. The passing subway train's lights and the complex shadows that it leaves. In hindsight all that is so much processing power being used for subtle things, it was glorious but it was never realistically possible.
I think a lot of it was developers that had been stuck on last gen hardware like forever finally having a chance to unleash and show everything that they'd been dying to work on and try out and they got a little carried away in their excitement, got a little too ambitious and threw in EVERYTHING new and groundbreaking they'd been waiting to try with no solid idea of what next gen hardware looked like.
I'm in a weird place with Watch Dogs because I was blown away by what I saw and thought it was the future of games and when it came out I was disappointed that it didn't live up to that trailer. At the same time I was still blown away by what we did get. It was still one of the best looking games of the time. It was still a huge leap over everything that came before. The game still looked glorious in the rain, at night. The depth of field bokeh effects were still amazing. The rain in slow mo still looked phenomenal. The gameplay was different and lot of fun too. Being able to stealth entire gang hideous by hacking stuff everywhere was insanely cool! So yeah it was a weird game that really disappointed and amazed in equal measure
I live in London and Watch Dogs Legion was my comfort game during lockdown, seeing a city i'm so familiar with in digital format was quite amazing.
I loved London in Assassin's Creed Syndicate too! I went there not long after playing it and was looking round St Paul's cathedral seeing where I usually climbed up from lol
spider tank is still one of my favorite gaming moments
I lived in Chicago when this game came out, maybe I'll re-visit it virtually again, even if it's scaled down
It's not even remotely accurate. They moved things all around the city out of place.
@@mrrooster4876 True, it was scaled down in all the neighborhoods surrounding downtown, but the atmosphere was pretty spot on to me. I think The Loop was the only part of Chicago they could focus their detailed efforts on, given the state of gaming tech back then.
@@omarmainuddin7251 Sure it's scaled down, but it's also massively inaccurate. I lived in downtown for 2 1/2 yrs. Just a few years removed from that when this came out. They actually took places and moved them to entirely different sides of the city or different neighborhoods. I was so excited when the game dropped because they advertised it as a scaled down replica. It's far from that. The first time I played it I was massively disappointed because of this.
@@mrrooster4876 Totally fair assessment, I lived in Logan Square when it came out :D
@@omarmainuddin7251 Hey, I learned that you can p on the 3rd rail and nothing happens @ Logan Sq! Small World...lol
The character development that Aiden gets in the Legion DLC would've been handy back in 1. Also, T-Bone was an awesome character.
T-Bone was a very relatable character, especially in 2. He had solid Wise Old Uncle Vibes to the punks in SF’s Dedsec
Its a shame ubi has buried this franchise ... Cant get enough of the first game
I think Watch_Dogs 1 was the best of them because of the story. Just one guy on a mission to take matters into his own hands after his life was destroyed. That sense of underdog justice while pulling all the stops against a large evil entity is hard to capture as well as Watch_Dogs 1 did. The later games were essentially just teenagers messing around and it's a lot harder to feel immersed into the story.
Also Aiden is not a plank, just very introverted.
WD1 has that realistic, dark and gritty atmosphere that the other games lacked
Just watching your video is making me wanna play it again, so i'm definitely downloading it now!!!
👍
Watch dogs 1 was one of if not the first real ‘mature’ game I’ve ever played, And I’m damn glad it was lol
10 years… It’s so weird how I link my memories and longer periods of times to games as a 30-something guy. “Oh man, 2008 feels like ages ago, GTA IV came out that year and I have so many vivid memories!”, or “2013! I remember that year because of Battlefield 4!”. Same with Watchdogs. Really liked that game, maybe it’s time for another playthrough ten years later (and with much less time hehe).
I hear yah. When he said "10yrs ago" I said " whaaaaaat!?" 2008 gta 4 I remember the good old times of playing online... man time does fly
Grown ass man saying “Hehe”
I’m 23 now and I can’t wait to look back at botw and totk in 10 years
@@issamkw You don’t. Time flies. All of a sudden you don’t have time to game anymore
@@JakeTheMDog time you have, it's ENERGY you end uo not having.
To me, Watch Dogs has always looked gorgeous, ever since the first reveal and even on release. Never understood the backlash due to downgrades. I enjoyed the game all the way, and it was on a fat PS4, just to add. Glad to see the recognition it gets these days.
Watch dogs 1 is my favourite game of the franchise. Always been. Always will.
There are a lot of things I love about watch dogs 2 that I wish could mod into WD1 to make a perfect watch dogs game.
Loved when the game came out I was watching a show called Persons of Interest and it made me super excited for this game because they gave the same vibe I always take the time to replay the game every year.
love them both. replayed Watch Dogs on ps5, first time was on PC. PoI does fit very well in Watch Dogs universe
Holy shit it still looks good
Been telling people for years that this is a very solid game
There is no Watch Dogs without Aiden Pearce. Amazing story. Love this game, mods or no mods. Thanks for this vid!
i played this game without mods in an xbox 360
at the time i played it, i had never felt something like that from a game, the graphics, the story, the animations, the action gameplay, the lighting effects...
even without mods or something, this game hits different for me, even tho i had already played gta 5 before this just felt... better, in almost any way and for me its kinda sad that people think that this game only can be saved with mods because it isnt like that
im pretty sure that some people who played it with mods saw things and thought "oh wow, this mod really adds cool details" only to turn out that those details where already in the vanilla game, thats kinda sad.
I love seeing these 10 year retrospective from you guys.
I always loved Watch Dogs from the pure fact that it had one of the best cities in gaming. Chicago felt like a truly lived in city, and the attention to detail was mind-blowing. I'd sometimes just walk down back alleys and take in the ambiance and was just blown away at the time.
Sad how this franchise is dead now 💔 i really liked this series
gaming di memes bhi bna liya crow je views ayenge je 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
2 was so good. The characters we're a little goofily written and I thought I'd hate them, but I loved them all and they were my best friends by the end. A little odd when a certain character had a tragedy, just a weird shift in tone (vengeance), but still a good story overall.
Legion bored the hell out of me
I literaly have never played this game and just got a used copy today it was $5 but cost me nothing at gamestop because I get $5 a month in store as a pro member. So I just played like an hour of it today and it holds up really well
I play Watch Dogs till this day with a couple graphical mods and I personally think it's the best Watch Dogs. It captures a great serious tone unlike the other ones. Everything about this game is great. Currently on my 4th playthrough.
Tyson Rios & Elliot Salem from Army of 2. Those games need more love.
To me that was one of the final couch co-op games I loved playing with the boys. Awesome game and a lost tradition of the bros getting together for game nights.
@kalelson8861 I'm actually suprised gameranx has never even mentioned the game. Way ahead of its time, one of the best coops EVER.
@@raider_reaper_4194 agreed, someone @ Jake or falcon for this lol
I will forever love this game ❤ has a special place in my heart
I really do hope they do another watch dogs back to routes, legion was fine but def nothing compared to 1&2, i would love to hack my way through Canada or France, especially France but as A SINGLE PERSON!!!!!!!
"goes back to roots" good luck on that one with Ubisoft.
Loads of people have been waiting for R6 to go back to its roots for 20 years, have waited 10 years for a new splinter cell in hopes that it'll go back to it's roots, wanted a Ghost Recon like it originally was presented 25 years ago (even tho GR is in the best state it ever had been in after its identity crysis from 2006-2015 imo, it's just sad to see just how much potential they wasted which you can feel and notice all the time in Wildlands & Breakpoint - which in the end turns them into below average products).
Ubisoft got good ideas, but they're unable to re-create what they originally did and the best that can happen is if a franchise gets discontinued - otherwise you just end up with an ever changing cycle of cash cows with the sole reminder of the franchise being the name.
Show us the dark underbelly of a Canadian city as a friendly Canadian hacker vigilante, sign me up lol
I’m currently playing this game it’s good so far. The visuals are impressive considering the game came out 10 years ago
2:43 why he sound surprised when he say that?
The Matrix Awakens gave me WATCH_DOGS vibes too. I didn't even notice when it switched from video to game
I collect Hard Cover Guides and i have it for this game... it is damn near a dictionary thick! (Because there are so many ways to play it.) - im still a WD fan for sure.
I live in chicago now, and loved the first game so much that I bought, and wear often, a replica of Aiden's cool coat!
Despite it's flaws, I loved the dark, serious feel of the first game. I think they oversteered into the silly and absurd for the second game, and then couldn't decide where to land for the third. The first game just felt so different from every other game world. I liked that for most of the story, Aiden's goal wasn't to destroy the system, it was to exploit it for his own ends. Rarely do we see a main character in a distopian world who isn't there to change the established order, but just to survive and thrive in that broken system. It made Aiden feel more real to me, like he was just some talented guy in this world, not the typical "main character" type we see so often.
You got the iconic hat?!
@@Moskeeto yeah, I embroidered his emblem into a grey hat that I already had. During the pandemic, I'd go even further into the casual cosplay by adding a kerchief over my mouth!
If they did a remake or major remaster of this game, I'd buy it full price. It was so fun to play back then and I still enjoy it now, but it does need help for console players
Aside from the main gameplay, some of the digital trips are really great and not talked about enough imo. Alone in particular stands out as stellar to me; I used to put so many hours into it and would love to see how it looks with amped up lighting and graphics. Spider tank was a blast too
Same. Is there a mod which allows you to stay in Alone after clearing all the sections? I leave 1 section uncleared so I can roam around the rest of the areas soaking in the Inception limbo vibes.
I own this game on the 360 and Xbox One. Do I like it? Duh. I've actually been thinking of getting it on PC with the Living City mod but was waiting for a bit more coverage hence the beauty of you.
Personally, though I own both 2 and Legion, I don't like them. I got both because of the first one; was disappointed with the story of two - while 1 was a bit bland, it was also serious. 2 wasn't whatsoever. Legion's trailers and first mission seem to be serious but that was just another illusion. Now, for various reasons, I completely distrust and loathe Ubisoft, so I doubt I'll buy any Watch_Dogs 3/4 based on trailer or gameplay reveal alone. Oddly, it wasn't 1's fake gameplay trailer that put me off, it was the narrative lies of the future games.
🤝🏻
What an excellent surprise of a video, I was pondering just last week whether I should finally start my first playthrough and what mods I should use, thanks guys! Would LOVE more videos like this where you highlight essential mods for older games. Might work well for the Bethesda games, maybe GTA, some racing games, some others :)
Thanks for your suggestion and glad we could help.
Man this is one of the best games I’ve ever played. This story would never be made today.
Aiden pearce is still one of my all time favourite video game characters❤
I never hated the game and played it in 2017 when I accidentally saw it
This is the game that got me into high score runs. I was 1st on spider tank for years
Hey Falcon
Hey
Ubisoft back then was something else entirety. I rem reading gaming magazines and concept of original ac completely blew my mind. They were so innovative and trend setters. Now ubi is a joke
How in the hell has it already been 10 years fuuuuck
Im surprised there are still some watch dogs fans!
3:19 to get to the point
They should really remaster the watch dogs series.
I really enjoyed Watchdogs 2, even with the cringe get-along gang of protagonists. It was really fun. The screw-around factor was top tier, and thats what makes a game for me. If its fun to just goof around in the world, thats a solid game.
Nope, doesn't need it visuals still hold up which is kinda the whole point of this video, put remaster/remake resources into really old games which actually need it please
@@cenciende9401 Yeah looking at you *Beyond Good and Evil*
👍
What still amazes me is that it looks worse at release compared to the game play shown. 10 years after and people still somehow have faith in them to pay $130 for 2 skins and cut content to sell again.
They're definitely not paying to get it 3 days early. You're paying extra to play the demo before day on patch erases all your save.
Bugs and gameplay can be fixed but a bad story can't, that's why this game succeeded in the end, it had a beautiful and emotional story.
Now the games that were considered mid back then, are good nowadays
That happens a lot with everything lol , music, movies, games literally everything
The grass is always greener in the past. People get older and become more jaded and pessimistic.
@@danielflanard8274
True.
At this point we literally got a generation that curses Ubisoft for being trend chasers that destroy franchises since the mid 2000s while at the same time having a generation that thinks those titles are classics and it only started ~2015 - can't wait to see how that'll look like in 10 years, 3 generations bashing their heads in on that thematic will be interesting.
@@Unknown_Genius
I do not know of any other publisher with more divisive releases. Every Ubsioft release is either hot garbage or an unsung masterpiece according to who you ask. Indifference is only really found in people who do not play their games.
It was NEVER 'mid', and of course the best games from the past are still good, anything else would be illogical
Bro. No hate, IDK what you are on about, on the game being bad, The game is incredible, when I first bought it in 2014, I remember I had a gt 740M with an i5-4200u, That I was able to play at the lowest setting at 720p, and completed the game, it was awesome, The game was really ahead of it,s time. Even today, the game feels updated and like it belongs in the moderan era, and this game can still squeeze my gtx 1650 off, which is insame.
Watch Dogs: Legion just didn't hit the same notes as the first Watch Dogs which is sad and The story in Legion felt a bit all over the place, whereas the original had a more gripping and focused narrative and the mind of the fox that really pulled you in.
Legion really suffered from not having a main character.
The characters in Legion were kinda annoying, but the gameplay was super fun for me 😅 I still don't think people gave it a fair chance
That's where they should have expanded upon the first game with the second game's upgrades.
I played this for the first time a couple years back. AutoHDR shines too. My only gripes are the elevated black levels. This game would be so much better with proper black levels.
Days when companies showed actual gameplay in reveals
I'd say I hope Ubisoft one day remasters/remakes this game, but I just know it would be FILLED with microtrasactions
I remember the way the made the division look in the trailer but at release I was so disappointed
I just got this game on my PS3 and I gotta say that I love it! I love how it takes place in Chicago since this is the city my family has called home since 1904.
Watch dogs 1 is one of my favorite games of all time! I have 100 percent this game on xbox and playstation.
I love this game ❤️
I owned this Watch Dogs for 10 years and only played it for 4 hours. I have recently modded it and now have and have a couple dozen hours in it. Aiden is still kind of a boring character but I'm finally giving the game another chance and enjoying it.
I swear if they used the hacking elements of Watch Dogs and the heavy stealth of Splinter Cell. Oufff.
If you need mods to make the game what was promised, then nothing has changed . That's like saying GTA V had a massive realism update and then saying "you'll need these mods to realize it..."
3:27 thanks for wasting our time all games aren’t the same with mods what kind of waste of time is this
I remember getting this game on launch, played to crap out of it.
Its not a good game, dont kid yourself with that idea.
I swear gamers have become docile, its like you guys never played GTA 4 back in 07.
Now that was something to live for, not the 10 years of bad games we’ve gotten.
When Ubisoft Were Good on faking 10/10 gameplay games
No info on the game with mods. And only mentions graphics which isn't important. For example, Morrowind retail is nearly impossible with huge technical problems. From the start all through the game. Just because devs never properly fixed it. So mods are actually a requirement that do nothing to the vanilla game. Only fix glitches.
I was so hyped for this launching after seeing the e3 reveal but after then seeing the downgrade I ended up not buying it at all. It was just so disappointing looking after seeing how it could look.
Just recently bought the watchdogs trilogy on sale and am currently playing through 1 on the steam deck and it’s actually really good fun.
They should have just been honest with it from the start and it would have been received much better
nah I wasn't exactly "mind-blown" by watchdogs' first trailer. sure the graphics were pretty but I always cared significantly more about gameplay and its gameplay just didn't click with me.
I definitely feel like this is my favourite watchdog. That’ll all of them. Legion didn’t give the same vibe. It was all over the place.
Can you please drop a tutorial on how to mod the game? no clear answers online
2:00 -- It wasn't just the graphics. It was subtle things. I remember geeking out with my brothers over the fact that he helped a woman out of her car, and the things she was yelling while she was in it. The betrayal was that the trailer made it feel like a real world, and it really didn't have the same feeling when it came out. There wasn't the same attention to detail, and it was very repetitive. The trailer made the NPCs feel like they weren't just NPCs.
Oh, now people are starting to appreciate this game after slamming it into the abyss.
This first game is still one of my top favourites to this day. They really did nail the atmosphere and gritty and dark tone for this one... but then Watch Dogs 2 had to go and exist and just ruined it. I don't know what it is - the characters, the fact that there's so many of them, the whole followers thing, the devices... I just felt like it strayed far too far. Don't even get me STARTED on Legion! Watch Dogs 1 was THE definitive experience for this IP and yeah, it still holds up. I do wish there was more to the Digital Trips, those were still pretty awesome.
I love the feeling this game gives off, better than Watch Dogs 2 or Legion imo
7:47 Basically almost every Ubisoft game for the past 13 years in a nutshell. Great ideas, horrible executions
How is this story bland‽ I will never understand this. Hacker gets too deep, wife gets killed, now his sister and niece are at risk as he gets even deeper. Like… that’s amazing and classic noir stuff right there. Watch Dogs 2 felt like a Saints Row storyline by comparison.
Aiden Pierce is just a bland character, hes so forgettable, they tried to make more fun character with Marcus in the sequel but he's also not quite likable.
