This improves and expands the gameplay of the base game with custom missions, random events and new features, which will provide many hours of fun.

WD2 is really good indeed and there are a ton of options to do and its much less shooty if you don't want to do that vs WD1. First game was kind of meh, but not bad. 2nd was better by quite a bit.
WD Legion is trash as they just killed any interest with how they handled characters (i.e. there are no real characters).
I totally agree with you OP.
If someone hates Watch Dogs 2 or Legion I can 100% relate to them, since both of those games have some really strong weak points.
However in Watch Dogs 1 apart from driving and the graphical downgrade I can't really list anything, to be honest.
The characters are indeed very good, but just take the whole setting, I think the idea is mind-blowing and really stood out in its time.
Nowadays I don't really see any reason to continue this franchise, especially not like Legion did...

Never played the game, but I vividly remember the hype and the classic Ubi bullshots. Good times.
Fully agree with this post.
Watch Dogs 2 is what the first game should've been.
Say what you want about Watch Dogs 1, at least the story presented suits the gameplay. Pierce is an edgy revenge-seeking asshole so it makes more sense, though not entirely, when he goes about killing innocents to achieve his goals. It's also one of the few times I've liked a morality system in a game. I liked that the public one call the cops on Pierce more if he had a habit of killing people.
It's really weird to me that Watch Dogs 2 features a reputation system, in the form of followers, but it never ever goes down, no matter what Holloway does. Watch Dogs 2 should never have featured lethal weapons or options whatsoever because it clashed heavily with the story.

It had spectacular combat; some of the best shooting and stealth in any open world game I've played. But I thought Watch Dogs 2 was a vast improvement in most ways, especially concerning the open world, environments, hacks (other than when driving... for whatever reason, that worked a lot better in the first game), and definitely the main character.
I enjoyed it.
It didn't quite live up to my expectations from that initial reveal, but it was a solid enough open world action game with unique mechanics that helped it stand out. The sequel was also great. Went off the rails with Legion and it lost me.

Tell you what I really liked about it was being able to scan all NPC's and get a little snippet of biography about them. It really humanised the world I thought. Running over an NPC and seeing their name, job, trivia fact etc made them much more interesting.
I love the same mechanic in Legion too, but it's one step beyond and I can actually play as the NPCs - I've got a guy on my team who's only notable trait is that he farts a lot which alerts nearby hostiles. Says a lot about my humour I suppose, but it cracks me up infiltrating bases as this guy with him quietly dropping his guts every few seconds.

I prefer 2 but did really enjoy the first one. The core game play was great. My main beef with it is that it's not a very cohesive game. A lot of the open world activities have a very tacked on feel to them where you can tell they just had different teams shoving in whatever ideas they could come up with to pad out the world.
While I don't think it's a great game, I do believe the way people hated Aiden was some next-level cringe shit in itself ironically. The massive downgrade, the lackluster online multiplayer compared to GTAV, and the limited side content in the world buried in when GTAV existed right next to it.
I do think it's the best game in the series, however. The sequel doubling down on the cringe aspect was the wrong move IMO and the combat, especially the shooting, was worse. San Francisco is also a much less interesting city to explore as well. Don't even get me started on how bad Legion was and how badly they wasted a perfectly well-crafted London City.

It's a very competent open world game with a twist that felt fresh and interesting.
Watch Dogs had mainly 2 things against it. One was the insane hype pre-release build on the "next-gen" promise that could never be matched.
The other was the single, worst, most unlikeable ", boring main character ever. They made this great sandbox but force us to explore it with a douche. At least Trevor has a sense of humour.

It's a good game. Unfortunately I've come to realize that general consensus and even review scores are largely useless for me as it's often a coin flip whether I will agree with it or not.
I agree. But by "Watch Dogs," I don't mean the 2014 video game, I mean the game of going to the dog park and watching cute doggos play, which I also call "Watch Dogs". The 2014 video game I never played but it looks like a very mediocre GTA clone, when I don't even like GTA.
Horrible open world design filled with nothing but check list busy work.
Terrible writing that doesn't know how it wants to present its narrative.
Awful protagonist with confusing and inconsistent motivations.
Game sucks sorry.

It has it's ups and downs, but I enjoyed it overall. I think it's better as a Punisher game than a hacker game tbh. Aiden kind of sucks in a lot of ways, but if you play him like some crazed gunman who just so happens to know how to hack into stuff I think it suits the game well. Loved the vibes of chilly Chicago as well.
I think I prefer 2 overall, I think that game made me feel more like a hacker if even the goofier vibe didn't gel with a lot of people. I liked it over the bleakness of the first game.

Feels like my take on Infamous Second Son's take on Seattle. Just bizarrely alien, and that was despite the game being made by a Seattle studio.
It's fun as hell. The sandbox gameplay was great and really got to shine in the convoys and hideouts. 2 does some things better but is a massive step back in terms of actually playing the game. If you like sneaking around with guns you have to play WD1.
I agree OP, I thought it was much better than WD2 in someways especially in the story front. I thought Iraq was a pretty good villian, I mean he looks and acts like Killmonger from Black Panther. I wonder if Marvel was inspired by the character?
you're going need to explain this one because while I admittedly didn't remember that much
what I do remember is making me go "how they're literally nothing alike aside from the literal surface details I guess????"
Huh, I never played this game and avoided it because Ubisoft open world isn't my cup of tea but I keep reading it has great stealth TPS mechanics and what not which sounds...awesome actually.
Is it like stealth hacker GTA or something??
You know what, you're probably right. I haven't played the game in awhile. I know they both were in the military, had about the same haircut and personality, but I think their motivations were different.
I had a good time with it, did not like the main character though. Never got around to 2 or Legion, Legion I'll prob never play but I've heard enough praise for 2 that at some point I will.
It's so much better than that. Super fluid. The TSP pistol shooting mechnics are some of the best I've ever played.
Can't look now, but there's probably a lot of gameplay if you look for it. It's absolutely worth playing for this alone imo, especially as you can get it so cheap.
I went in with zero hype or knowledge unlike many and loved it. Loved the verticality of the city, the gunplay was so much tighter than Gta, and the online was innovative. Also the digital trips were awesome.
The follow ups never captured the same magic imo. 2 really fell flat for me but I liked 3 more even if it was unfocused.

It was fine, a decent novelty in 2014, and the beginning of modern Ubisoft formula, before it became insufferable.
The "grim" tone only served to highlight how shit the writing and characters were though.
Watch Dogs 2 had a much more interesting MC, side characters and writing.
