Free Watchdogs on Uplay

I know, I still think that downloading WD and playing it isn't worth it when the superior one (arguable, I know) is out there, if you value your time more than your money, you should get WD2 when it's sale, those 20 hours that you'll spend on WD1 are better spent in WD2.
Hahaha, AC1 is cool and all (Altair best ass) but the missions really suck, would be nice if Ubisoft remakes it.
Thankfully i haven't played WD2 yet... so this doesn't bother me at all.
Nah. Watch Dogs 1 is a great open-world Splinter Cell game. Watch Dogs 2 is better but far different and more of a fuck around GTA type game.
Couldn't pay me to play that game. I bought it for like 8$ on a Black Friday a year or two ago and only played an hour and I just got so bored. It felt like a crappy version of GTA, but non of fun. Maybe it's because every publisher makes their games like this now, but I can't stand it anymore.
Ubisoft does it a lot. The Crew was given away for free a year or two after it came out as part of ubisofts christmas promo
Thanks for the replies, couldn't quote everyone.
I did not know that. Ubi seems pretty generous when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Getting a server error when I try to redeem it. Still pretty cool, haven't played it yet and can't complain for free.
Three years is a long time. They likely see this as a good chance to get people to their service and maybe get some DLC purchases.
Disagree the games are very dissimilar
Wd1 is a third person shooter with light having and puzzle elements
Wd2 is pretty much a very light immersive Sim/ platformer that happens to have guns
I loved both btw
I'd put MGSV above it, but yeah, the shooting is really tight.
Nope. Honestly, the two are as different as it gets while still being in the open world genre and having hacking.
If you're getting the "server is unavailable" error, quit out of uPlay and start it up again. It happened to me and it turned out the game did redeem properly, it just took a restart to register.
Nice. Last year I bought it for around $9 during the steam winter sale, but I ended up getting a refund because the game wouldn't play any audio with my surround sound setup. Now that it's free, I've got time to try to see If I can get the audio to work with my setup.
How's the mouse and Keyboard in this? I think i'd prefer to use mouse for the shooty stuff and i remember hearing the car physics were pretty arcadey, but the character movement seems very heavy and i wonder how impactful that would be.
I'll give it another go. I know people have moral standards about the characters they play in a videogame, but I have no issue in playing like Aiden Pearce, a fucking psychopath with a twisted sense of justice and access to guns, hacks and whynot. Setting up ambushes for the crime bosses or whatever was fun as hell.
Then, back at WD2, using guns felt weird as hell and didn't use them along with any killing stuff or devices, except in that mision against the Tezcas. If you played it, you know why.

I had fun with W_D even though it was completely unmemorable. Aiden Pearce is a super douche with no redeeming qualities and his outfit choice is disgusto-barfo.
Otherwise, it was a competent open-world with a middling-good story.

Cheers for the heads up! Always wanted to try this but all the weird DLC stuff put me off. Can't complain for free though.

That's exactly right - the driving was as bad as the shooting was good.
