$10.00 Purchase - and for Good Reason
3 of 16 found this helpful Watch Dogs is a game in which you hack your way to supremacy; but, in doing so, you will have to rinse & repeat, rinse & repeat - hack this camera to hack that camera to hack that other camera to hack that console to open that door to get to that audio log (btw that audio log is only 1 of 100). The side quest missions are so bland and moldy that, after you've done just 3 of the same mission, you'll want to go Bleach your esophagus; because, at least then, you'll be able to tell someone something interesting about your day.
The game handles decently, the animation is fluid and responds nicely in the heat of the moment... as long as you aren't driving. The driving controls are as sluggish as a snake on ice, and the variety of vehicular missions/tasks only exacerbates the irritation created by another 90mph turn into a corner store.
The equipment in game is useful, that is, if you can access the menu, select the item required, close the menu, and activate said item before you're either discovered by police or say.. brutally murdered?
Skills, in classic Ubisoft fashion, are tiered from uselessness to usefulness to batshit endgame obliteration. Except, oh right, to access ANY high level skills, you must open up your SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN to the entire Watchdogs universe's worth of players, risking being invaded, hacked, or otherwise trolled into submission.
The online multiplayer is literally just another Ubisoft vomit party of randomly killing people, OR hacking into another player's game and hacking this camera to hack that camera to hack that other camera to hack that console to open that door to get to that audio log (btw that audio log is only 2 of 100).
I haggled the purchase of this free-to-ship game from $12 to $10, and I quickly understand why it was such a low price to begin with.
LITERALLY the only thing i truly enjoyed about Watchdogs: Spidertank. If Ubisoft made a full length game with the mechanized mayhem of the Spidertank minigame, I'd happily lay down a respectable $40-$60 to play it.
Otherwise, I can only hope Watchdogs 2 has a bit more in-depth uniqueness/multiplayer than its predecessor.
