“Watch Dogs deserved better than to be made by Ubisoft”
Damn, that quote is powerful, because it's the absolute truth.

I still defend Watch Dogs 2 as an immerive sim on its own. It is amazing finding a way to skip a mission basically through tech

It's weird how ubisoft has some of the most creative and orginal ideas but can't seem to care enough to actually put in effort.

Holy hell… The trilogy review series we never deserved, but the one we needed

Biggest weakness of Legion is Ubisoft refusing to actually engage with the systems they put in. As you said, this game would be so much better if I could use Operators without actually controlling them. Being as getaway drivers, support snipers, medics etc. there's like a whole undiscovered world in that game.

Also, the dumbing down of the hacking system was a letdown.

WD2 has legit some of the best stealth gameplay I've ever played. Parking as just a passerby sitting under a tree while fucking completely dismantling a nearby base with my RC car and drone was so satisfying.

I put about 10 hours into WDL. It was pretty boring. I found one recruit that I had any fun with. One. 1. It was a little old lady named Maggie. Maggie was a former spy. She had a bunch of cool perks and a silenced gun that basically killed in one shot. She did have a major setback though. She had some heart disease that would cause her to die permanently at some point. That's when I gave up. Doing random missions in London for about 5 hours as a little old lady and then she died of a heart attack in the middle of a mission. Then I turned the game off and deleted it. R.I.P. Maggie.

"I give the contracts. That's all you need to know about me. I'm nobody." Said the Mysterious Contractor in a thick, Sheffield accent.

I still go back to Watch Dogs 2 specifically to walk around SF, take photos (yes, like a tourist), and play around with the hacking, creating all kinds of chaos in the process. I usually start off telling myself I'll be good, but always end up causing multiple catastrophies. WD2 is the only open world sandbox where I feel compelled to play around with its mechanics and cause haos. Such a shame that Legion couldn't live up to that.

WD3 is a monumental achievement - but as a simulated world, not a game. They went all in on the systems and setting, but forgot the fun along the way :(

I loved the AI and random interactions in Watch Dogs 2. That was the only thing that made me come back to the game even after finishing it. So disappointing to see how they nerfed it in Legion.

This game was ahead of its time. It sounds like the dialogue was written by an AI years before it became popular.

With Legion i realized how much i missed the grayer tones of the first one, Aiden even in a Good Guy run was extremely violent and vindictive, the way he punished was brutal whether lethal or not.

I wish we had more of that, with even more cool hacking and tech skills

With Whitelight videos you’ve never realised you’ve sat through 2 hours worth of content till it's over. Great video

40:25 I think this is honestly the greatest tragedy of Ubisoft to me. They have some of the best environment artists in the industry, without question. But, those environment artists are forced to work on games that ultimately don't seem to care much about their environments and view them more as background noise than a meaningful space for the player to engage with.

"Watchdogs deserved to be better than to be made by Ubisoft..."
Wow that line fucking hit me! Great video
and a surprisingly somber ending with a gutpunch to close it off.
Bravo

Me personally, I found it really ironic. When the game was only fun when the Adian dlc came out. And you were playing as one single character. Defeating the whole purpose as recruiting anyone. But since this character had actual voicelines and acting, it was actually fun. And not being able to recruit anyone didn't really matter to me when the character actually felt real.

Once I unlocked the Assassin character the game became MUCH more fun for me. Still very much imperfect, but at least I'm not dying of boredom anymore!

1:32:40 and fun fact, in the French dub of Watch Dogs 1, Aiden was voiced by the same voice actor as for the French dub of John Wick, which adds to the relevance of the comparison, for French players at least!
