    Watch Dogs 2 (stylized as WATCH_DOGS 2) is a 2016 action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the sequel to 2014's Watch Dogs and the second installment in the Watch Dogs series. It was released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows in November 2016, and Stadia in December 2020. Set within a fictionalized version of the San Francisco Bay Area, the game is played from a third-person perspective and its open world is navigated on-foot or by vehicle. Players control Marcus Holloway, a hacker who works with the hacking group DedSec to take down the city's advanced surveillance system known as ctOS. There are multiple ways to complete missions, and each successful assignment increases the follower count of DedSec. Cooperative multiplayer allows for competitive one-on-one combat and connecting with other players to neutralize a player who is causing havoc.
    Ubisoft Montreal studied player feedback from the first game to assess what could be improved in Watch Dogs 2 and the setting was researched by making frequent trips to California. Ubisoft Reflections was responsible for overhauling the driving mechanic. Real hackers were consulted to validate scripts and game mechanics for authenticity and references to real-life hacktivism were fictionalized, like the Project Chanology protest. The original soundtrack was composed by Hudson Mohawke. The game was released to overall positive reception from critics which praised the game for improving upon the original Watch Dogs in areas like the hacking, setting, characters and driving. However, character inconsistencies, firearms, and frequent technical issues - later patched - were cited as imperfections. Watch Dogs 2 had sold more than 10 million copies by March 2020. A sequel, Watch Dogs: Legion, was released on October 29, 2020.

    Really such an under appreciated and overlooked game. Sure WD2 has the wonkiest physics and the characters are a bit cringe, but the world is pretty and one of the best imo and on top of that the interactivity with everything is insane and what makes the game fun and replayable. Like I had GTA 4 level types of fun because of all the possible, random things that could happen.

      One time while i was playing watch dogs 2, i saw two people play badminton at a park. I called in a gang attack on one of them and shot the other one. What i didnt know was that there was a gang territory nearby. After realizing that the gang were searching the area for marcus, i decided to hide. Thats when the other gang came to kill one of the npc playing badminton. The gang shot and killed the npc from there car. But since the gang from the nearby gang territory was on alert as well, they started to fight. This led to a brutal gunfight between both gangs. One of the npc near the park called the police. The police later came in and then it turned into a free for all. After a while, the swat came in and after a while only 2 groups remained. The gang i had called and the police
      The police won later on.
      I was driving around in oakland when,i stumbled upon two npcs near some houses . I decided to make fun of them to which one of them started punching marcus. Thats when another npc came in to calm the two npcs down that i had made fun of. They calmed down for a moment. But i started making fun of both the npcs again. One of them started punching marcus again to which an npc called the police. The police entered the area and arrested the npc punching marcus. I decided to follow the police car when suddenly a gang war erupted near by. The police responded to it and i followed them. At the scene of the gunfight i saw 2 gang members invading a gang territory. The police started shooting at the both the gangs when one of the gang member threw a grenade near the police's car. The car blew up killing the npc that got arrested and then my own car blew up. After a while the police won the fight.
      One time while walking in oakland, i saw another npc walking around as well. I called in the gang attack on him. After a while, the gang came in in there car and killed the npc. The gang left the area and i decided to get into a car and drove around for a moment when i saw 3 swat cars follow the gang's car. I followed the chase to see what would happen. The swat cars kept on ramming the gang's car. After a while the gangs car went out of control. The gang bailed of there car and started shooting the swat units. After a long gunfight the police won.
      In watch dogs 2 there is a location at oakland where a lot of gang members are present. So one day i went there and called in the police on one of the gang territory's member. The police came to arrest the gang member but he resisted which led to a huge war between the police and the gang members. The gang members from territories nearby came in and othere called in backup. The normal police officers were defeated to which the swat came in. Bullets and grenades were flying around everywhere, while the swat and gang cars were blowing up. The npc were running around to take cover from the gunfight. After a while i accidentally ran in front of a swat unit shooting. I was playing on hard difficulty so after only a few bullets, i died.
      Watch dogs 2 is a great game. Its very fun to play and the map is small but alive and fun to explore. My only complaint is the bugs and that the money in this game is a bit useless. It should have had properties that you could purchase like in gta 5

    i still play this game today, and its a shame it was so overlooked by fans. The music in this game was am amazing, combat was decent, hacking was fantastic and the locations were gorgeous. Its not the best game, but it has so much replayabiliy and the online is still pretty active. I also liked Marcus as a mc, he took shit seriously when he had to, but he also knew his own abilities and would mess around when he was confident he could get out of a situation.
    People complained that the first game was too dark and grim, so ubisoft actually listened to fans and made a bright, colorful and fun game, and fans complained it wasnt serious enough. Its kind of a shame because all this complaining lead to watchdogs legion which i personally hated since day 1. i think we'll never get a watchdogs like this again.

    Turned it into kind of this fun puzzle game. And really fit the characters.

    This game is extremely cringe somtimes but that makes it super charming to me, it doesn't feel too out of place. One thing ubisoft has always been really good at was recreating worlds, the ac and wd series are probably the best examples. Honestly I think even their newer games have great worlds(when applicable), sadly the gameplay just isn't on par with them a lot of the time. Still just running/driving around in syndicate, unity, wd2 or the crew are some of my favorite things when I just want a chill experience. Oh and this game had some pretty cool co-op stuff too, I remember sitting on the golden gate bridge with a friend and just murdering waves of cops and bounty hunters. Good times.

It's a shame that the main missions aren't playable with a friend or random person that would of made this game a 10/10 for me as the Co op specific missions just aren't up to par. But it is fun to roam around the city getting chased by the police with a friend.

    Lately I have been playing a lot of old Ubisoft games back again, Splinter Cell Blacklist, multiple Assassins Creeds, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, WD2, Far Cry 3, and I came to the conclusion, that Ubisoft was behind the majority of my favourite games of all time. That special flavour, that special touch and feeling while playing those games man, I can’t lay my finger on it and I know for a fact that it isn’t just nostalgia. Maybe it’s the care that has neen put into those games, the care for interesting storylines and characters, your surroundings and the world you’re playing, idk. But one thing is for sure, it’s very rare to come across it these days.

    I think what makes the world so good is that every place is unique. There are no copy pasted buildings and the people feel like they really do stuff. For example when something happens without your influence, just something between two citizens. An example would be a guy smashing the car of another person with a baseball bat and then the police is called and arrests him. In general the city feels alive. Sure, some interactions are cringe or feel forced, no doubt about that, but even those partly cringe actions turn the peds into more than just random people which do nothing but walking around for no reason.

    I know exactly what you mean! I feel like it’s more apparent with the Far Cry games. Like the cinematics in 3, 4, and Primal look very high budget for their time, but 5, and especially 6 seem to be really lacking in the cinematics. Idk if it’s a lack of budget or meeting a release window restraining them, but their cutscenes don’t have the high production values anymore. It’s so weird though because the actual worlds are still quite pretty.
    I feel like the most significant downgrade is the facial animations just looking off.

    Watch Dogs legion isn't a bad game, it's actually hyper fun in small bursts but it has completely lost what made Watch Dogs good in the first place.
    The hacking is severely downgraded from 2.
    That being said WatchDogs losing its identity started with 2
    1 was a masterpiece in storytelling. People condemned it for having a boring protagonist but Aiden is literally the deepest character in the entire series. The campaign is a showing of his slow decent into madness over the guilt that consumes him. He comes up with every justification under the son for his punisher levels of violence he inflicts on anyone who crosses him, I mean the guys nephew is kidnapped so he erases a a town's worth hired men just to send a message.
    Watch Dogs 2 is amazing but the story and characters suck, they're fun on the surface level but anything deeper than that and they fall apart. They're meant to be hippie hackers (dumb, what happened to the grit and realism) but Markus goes on cop killing rampages and murders hundreds of gang members during the campaign but nobody acknowledges it for the sake of the story being consistent which it just isn't
