Watch Dogs

1. I want to begin with all the fuss that's on the web: This game got so popular before it even launched that people started already hating the game they haven't played.

2. If you are average player who likes to button smash every stage trough game - this game isn't for you. Go get Wolfenstein or Serious Sam.

3. If you are looking for a good story, like maybe: Max Payne - This game isn't for you. Story isn't offering anything new. The story is probably the most boring part of the game. So cheesy.

4. If you like to figure out tactics, if you like to learn the scene before entering it, if you can wait for opponents, plan your moves in time - This game is for you. I was amazed by the filling of hanging around outside by the bench, while I control cameras inside the building and knocking out my enemies that have no idea what hit them.

Anyone, who enjoyed Splinter Cell - will probably enjoy this game. In bonus, Watch dogs offers you a weaker character (Aiden Pearce), compared to Splinter Cells Sam Fisher, who can kill 3 guys in a momentum and take out forth with a bare hands.

Your main weapon is your phone. You must create distractions for enemy's to pass by them, or take them out one by one. Also, you can lure them into traps, Jam their communication systems so they get a headache from buzz in ears and etc. Overall, game is very creative.

Also, it is hard. It's really hard just to shoot off your enemies (I was playing it on hard mode). You are not a Stallone, or Terminator, you are just a normal guy. But sometimes shooting is the only option and using your phone to hack nearby systems that act in your advantage - is the key for ultimate fun.

As a open world game, Watch Dogs offers many side missions - finding murderers, suspects, potential criminals, codes hidden around Chicago and many more.

All in all, I enjoyed this game very much. I haven't played anything like that. This was really new.

8/10 because story is boring, but gameplay does it's job very well.

I haven't spoken about graphics because my PC could only run it smoothly on low preferences. But real gamer doesn't mind for graphics. To me, it was all about gameplay.

Overall, Watch Dogs from 2014 is an amazing game with many things to do, an amazing city to explore, and a brilliant story and atmosphere. This game is truly one-of-a-kind and honestly doesn't get the attention it deserves because of some features which, like the reputation system, I agree aren't the best. From a gameplay perspective it's a bit annoying as it is an open world and you will, say, run over pedestrians accidentally. However from a story perspective it makes sense because of the vigilante motif. Another feature that was fixed in later games was the music collection. The music was limited not only in the music itself but the features as well. There are no radio stations and whatnot, so you're just stuck skipping around hoping to pick the song you want to listen to. If those features were fixed or weren't in this game along with the sometimes flat graphics, I'd say that this was a perfect game, which is why I give this game a 9/10.

At first I thought this game wasn't that good since all I heard about it was that it failed alot of people on launch day but now that I've tried it, I really think that this game deserved better as its story is so much better than many games these days though the game was made in 2014.

I don't really play through any story games since GOW2018 but I think this game has revived my instinct.coz it really feels like a movie and the dialogues are very rich not just like any story games

The game play is 100% ahead of its time,specially the running mechanics and the close range combat even if it wass ranged weapons ir just melee,one.

This game is pegi 18 although I don't see many disturbing scenes,would definitely recommend it to people who love action games and pay attention to details.

Everything about this game is so perfect. The graphics, story line, open world, and diversity of life in the bustling beautiful Chicago are a perfect score for me, but unfortunately.. There are a few large flaws.

Lets start by addressing the people. Diversity? Yes. Realistic..? Not really. If you were to pull into a random parking lot at a restaurant filled with other cars, then pull back out at average speed and casually pause at the entrance to make you're leave.. the people would scream and shout dumb things you're way as if you'd shot towards them like a speeding bullet.

But the worst, most colossal problem?? The police. Real police don't try to kill you over a simple fender bender, especially if it was a hit-and-run.. you not being the fleeing suspect or the cause of the crash. The cop that saw the minor accident literally called for backup, and before I knew it helicopters were swarming the skies. No, 'put you're hands in the air' at least??!

Even though this particular flaw is huge, the game was still one of the best I have ever played. And so far, it continues to impress and entertain long after the main missions are through.

The main reason why I brought this game was the City. Because I like Chicago, and I was tired to play games that are all set in New York or San Francisco. Ubisoft manage to create great looking city that is also very interactive. However, Polish Americans are the largest European American ethnic groups in the Chicago. It would be interesting to see some Polish characters, also replacing some of the pizza restaurants that can be found on almost every corner in Watch Dogs with some polish shops or restaurants wouldn't harm this game.

Watch Dogs is a perfect combination of hacking, driving and shooting. It's like combining all the previous games published by Ubisoft such as Assassin Creed, Splinter Cell and Driver. Driving mechanic is very similar to the one from Driver San Francisco. Cockpit view is something very unusual in games of this type, but developers decided to put this feature in Watch Dogs. I find the cockpit view very useful especially during high speed chases. People are criticising driving model in this game, but for me it's perfect I found it more realistic then driving model from GTA V or Sleeping Dogs.

After short period of time with this game, I was feeling like Jack Bauer from TV show 24. Just like him we are forced to do bad things in a good mater, because no one else is willing to do them. We are also doing them in similar techniques that Jack Bauer is using. I don't want to go deep in to the storyline either include some spoilers that would destroy your fun, but the storyline is not perfect and it could have been much better. But overall it is a good story of a vigilante undertaking law enforcement without legal authority.

Multiplayer is something that I love about this game, mainly because it's not scripted. You will play this game to see how other players are panicking while you try to hack them. I love to wait for the perfect moment to hack them; the best way to successfully hack someone is to wait until the player rich the highest crowded places. You can hide behind the object, stand in the crowd or hide in the car. I personally like to use all of these methods and switch places to the ones that player have already examined. Finding someone who is hacking you is not rally that difficult you just have to stay calm.

In term of graphic, I play on Ultra settings and graphic is good enough for me. Some people say that graphic in this game look worse than in GTA IV but I would suggest them to play GTA IV again because it's not true. City look beautiful and cars look more realistic than in any other games of this type. Of course you cannot compare these cars with the one from Gran Turismo 5 or Forza Motorsport. I give this game strong 9/10 because I had allot of fun with it, and I will definitely come back to explore the city even more and do some online hacking.
