I've always had a soft spot for Watch Dogs 2 and would argue it has the most impressive, detailed open world in the series with a beautifully recreated San Francisco. The parkour gameplay is great fun and the OST on the same level as WD1. I've never played the PC version until now and really impressed with how good this game still looks. I may upload the full game in main chapters (14 chapters = 14 videos) but either way I just wanted to upload some PC gameplay.
One of the best games from Ubisoft I've played in the past decade Story and characters aside, everything else from the gameplay to interactions via hacking was damn impressive, enjoyed it way more than I thought
Do you just enjoy this game or the whole franchise? Cause the Watch Dogs franchise is one of the best franchises made by Ubisoft alongside with Far Cry franchise and Assassin's Creed Franchise.
WD2 has the most alive non Rockstar urban open world as of 2024 IMO. The visuals still look good, although the lighting makes the NPCs look cartoonish. WD2 has the most vibrant open world. WD2's San Francisco is one of the best open worlds I had the chance to explore. The NPC system in this game was the best prior to RDR2, they react to almost everything. NPCs will actually go back to their regular business after greeting them instead of aimlessly wandering around. They even pose for photos if you try to take photos with them in the frame. ScoutX (City HotSpot replacement) is one of the best features IMO, it encourages virtual tourism. WD2 has a killer radio soundtrack, a massive improvement from WD1. A Deadmau5 (the artist Defalt is based on) song can be heard in the radio. The L-Train from WD1 is gone, but the SF streetcars still have independently rotating undercarriages (similar to real life) just like WD1 trains, something that even mighty GTA 5 doesn't feature. APB and gang hits are my favourite WD2 hacks. The story is alright. Marcus would've been an interesting protagonist if he slowly turned into a psychopath as the story progressed. The tone of the story should've changed from lighthearted to dark as the story progressed. Dusan would've been better if he had more encounters with Marcus. At least 3 out of 5 main writers from WD1 were involved with WD2 (at least 8 main writers) with the exception of the lead WD1 writer, which is probably the reason it still feels like a sequel to WD1. Wrench's actor played the stadium survivor from WD1 and Dusan's actor played Maurice from WD1. And most importantly, you can *watch* and pet *dogs*
Marcus, while he isn't much still is a force to be reckoned with just like Aiden Pearce and Wrench. Dusan saw what he was capable of in terms of hacking the moment Marcus broke into Blume and made that backdoor he was gonna use later on when he got in with Dedsec.
The gameplay looks really good and fun ngl, but the story really sums up to the characters of the game, thats probably one of the reasons why aiden wanted nothing to do with dedsec😅 but the crafting, parkour etc definitely looks fun and makes up for the lack of story. It's just weird how they went from deep and dark to sunshine and flowers 😅 either way i wanna see more
I heard that they made everything sunshine and rainbows after complaints that WD1 tried to hard to be serious. Almost similar to the contrast that GTA 4 had with GTA 5
@@Nothingforever192 well of that was the case, they pulled it off really good lol. Everytime a new open world game comes out people always say that it's trying to copy gta ,that's been going on for years
Probably the Underground Dog Fight mission when you take out the gang members. I also like the CyberCar and New Dawn Cult missions. There's loads I enjoy. 👍
@@Willzyyy yeah I am currently on a laptop with RTX 4050 so I do see those flickers and even with this decent card, you can't have a buttery smooth experience sadly. Some say it is unfixable because Ubisoft needs to update the game but we all know that ain't gonna happen.
You have to kill at least 4 people in the story during a revenge set of missions (where you go up against gang members), but otherwise you can complete it with just melee takedowns and a taser.

A lot more enjoyable than the last Watch Dogs game.
Watch Dogs 2 is the best game in the series and also has Auto HDR and FPS Boost support on Xbox Series X|S, just like the first.
Could I just say both WD:2 and WD:L has the open world features that did it's best! But WD:2 did the most!
Y
@@AzyKaijuhell yea.
San Francisco in Watch Dogs 2 is awesome.
It's such a great open world. Remember being very impressed back in 2016 too.

@AzyKaiju I never particularly cared about WD 1 and Legion was mid at best.
if you like them more power to you, but 2 was special to me.
Same WD2 is my favorite@@sgtfrozty

considering Marcus' skill set and his streed cred with DedSec, I'm gonna guess that CToS was right on the money on him

Blows my mind this game released back in 2016. Almost 8 years ago.
I hated the bunker mission I hated the time limit it had butt I loved this game though
That was brutal, though getting back at Lenni made it worth it.
This game was surprisingly extremly fun good times!
This game was horribly unoptimized when it first released. Glad to see all these years later it finally runs smooth as silk on PC.
Lmao I was literally about to watch Chris Smoove WD2 and this popped up.
You two are my favorite TH-camrs..so, thank you.
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Chris Smoove's WD vids have become classics, I watched his WD finale one recently haha.
HELL YES!!! Watch dogs 2!
Wrench is so Hilarious, in my Opinion! 🤣

a thing underrated in my opinion from the watch dogs games are the radio soundtracks
Especially the fact you can listen to them when walking around and doing parkour. Makes exploration even more fun.
WD2 is so much fun , stealth is the best way to play all the way through
It seems kinda out of character for Marcus to kill people and be ok with it 😅
I liked this watch dogs butt I enjoy watch dogs legion better
for me Watch Dogs Legion is less favourite WD game, but still, it has some unique stuff to do
I hate WD legion, they put no Sense things, you can't customize your character.
@@joaodasilva4174 i hated that my character even cant pick guns from enemies, but clothes/appearance choice was great for me
8:20 I was wrongly focused on looking at the top search history in this video, lol
Big fan ❤❤
I didn't really like the second game ,I always loved the first one !
I thought you were going to play the bad blood DLC
I'll return to that at some point. Still deciding if I will upload just some of the missions or the full DLC.
Calling the cops on gangbangers usually end in a big shootout between bands and cops its amazing !
I'm still prefer the Brazilian voice acts.
I wished that I could beat all missions in one day
I like Watch Dogs 2
🔥
What is the song when you drive the blue car called
What was your favorite mission in this watch dogs game?
Probably the Underground Dog Fight mission when you take out the gang members. I also like the CyberCar and New Dawn Cult missions. There's loads I enjoy. 👍
If only this game ran better...
There's a nasty glitch on modern RTX cards making everything flicker, it's also a very memory intensive game even for today's good PCs...

Still waiting for like a dragon infinite wealth 😢 but this is a great game and i can wait just asking
WILLZYYYYYYY❤️
This one……I never played it
I heard that you can beat this game without killing anybody apart from the first game
You have to kill at least 4 people in the story during a revenge set of missions (where you go up against gang members), but otherwise you can complete it with just melee takedowns and a taser.
17:27 can any one tell me what is the name of this song plz
Play'n Go - Hudson Mohawke
Or if you want the song that originally plays:
So Very Hard to Go - Tower of Power

*fart
Watch dogs 2 had a better gameplay than 1 but the story is bland compared to Watch Dogs 1.
Looking at this game i really need to complete wd1. I left it at 70% completion
