Trivia

When the game was announced in 2012, the developers were claiming that the game was so advanced that the recent console generation (which were the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii/Wii U at the time) couldn't handle it. Next to the promising gameplay mechanic, the E3 trailer was especially praised for its realistic visuals, which quickly made this game to one of the most anticipated titles. However, shortly after the game's release in 2014, the game received harsh criticism, because it suffered many bugs and glitches, including one that corrupted the save file. On top of that, Ubisoft was accused of downgrading the graphics, as they were considerably less detailed than in the preview trailers. See more »

Goofs

Random people on the streets recognize Aiden as the Vigilante, yet it's a huge shock to sister Nikki - who despite being held captive for the bulk of the game knows all about the Vigilante's exploits - when she finds out he is her own brother. See more »

Quotes

Damien Brenks: CTOS... it really is a wonder of human ingenuity. A model system making a model city for model citizens. I wonder what Blume said about potential hacks to the system. Sound debate, I'm sure. "Hackers? Oh relax. Our CTOS is the most advanced blabbidy blah blah blah." Hubris, Aiden. It'll get you every time. But then you know that very well, don't you?

Watch Dogs PC review

3 December 2015 | by boris_kolarov – See all my reviews

Watch Dogs was one of the most anticipated games of the last year. When it was released it disappointed a lot of people. Gladly, I wasn't hyped about it so I had a lot of fun. Here's what I like about the video game.

1)Nice graphics. Sure, the ones from the E3 demo were better but the real graphics are great.

2)In my opinion, the story wasn't so bad.

3)Plenty of vehicles to drive.

4)I like the Car on Demand app in the game on Aiden's smartphone. You can purchase a car pretty much everywhere you are.

5)Good voice acting.

6)A sign of a great open-world video game is you to be not able to progress throughout the story in your first hours of playing it because you are distracted by the open world. Watch Dogs does it.

7)Likable characters. Yes, I liked Aiden - he is still depressed over his niece's death.

8)Everyone's profiles are different.

9)Many people don't like the music selection but I like it.

10)The open world has plenty of activities.

11)I like that you can have a reputation of a menace or an anarchist, a citizen or a protector or a true vigilante.

12)The most fun from the side activities I got from the Gang Hideouts.

13)The mission design is clever, even if most of the missions are pretty much the same.

14)Both stealth and guns-and-blazing are rewarded.

15)Collecting audio logs makes you more interested in the story.

16)Collecting and listening to Maurice's audio logs made me like him a lot more.

17)There are plenty of guns.

18)Nice minigames.

19)The open world is fun to explore.

20)The different places in Chicago are different by themselves.

21)Plenty of skills to unlock.

22)Nice puzzles.

23)The Q&R Codes are nice addition.

24)The drinking game is enjoyable.

25)There is chess, added in the game.

26)When you die you don't get the weapons removed from you.

Yes, there are lots of good things in this game, but there are same witch I don't enjoy.

1)The gang hideouts or the mission where you can be stealthy or guns-and-blazing can't be replayed after you've finished them. I unlocked a cool shotgun and wanted to shot gangsters with it. I want to be vigilante, which means I don't want to kill cops.

2)Usually in games like this it is more fun to ride a motorcycle. In this game motorcycle aren't that fun to use.

3)The Missing Persons investigations concluded disappointing.

4)The Human Traffic investigation were kinda boring except in the end.

5)You can't fire a gun from your vehicle.

6)After you've finished the cool stuff the game can sometimes get boring.

7)(Minor con) The police's AI.

8)(Minor con) Some bugs required me to exit the game and start it over. There was also a loading screen that couldn't load.

9)(Minor con) The handling of the cars is strange in the beginning.

Overall Watch Dogs is a video game, that should not have been so over-hyped. The gameplay is excellent, the story is solid, the open world is great and this can be the start of a great new franchise like Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed. From BAD 1 to EXCELLENT 6 I give it VERY GOOD 5.25.
