Watch Dogs

Sure this game was over-hyped and it's far from perfect, but it is undeniably fun. The hacking is something new and interesting. Chicago is a great setting and the soundtrack kicks ass! I have no idea why nobody likes Aiden, I found him quite intriguing, the whole renegade without fear vibe is always fascinating. The stealth sections were decent and the hacking puzzles were adequately challenging, including for the collectibles. The only downside are the high speed car chases that were infuriating and are exactly the reason I stay clear of GTA games. The game didn't need such frustrations to weigh it down. All in all a great game with some minor flaws, but hardly anything that should keep you from trying it out.

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.

I have played this and this game makes an amazing story ark. It good craters and villains what we need in the gameplay. Hats off to this 2014 Watch Dogs...

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.

Decent enough story largely great gameplay think the handling when driving at speed could be a little more manageable but other than that had a great time playing it.
