i was super excited when Ubisoft Announced this game back in 2012. but im ashamed to have bought this game when it came out in 2014.
lets talk about the story. the story sounds good on paper. reading it in Ubisoft website or wikipedia makes you want to play it, but actually playing it and seeing the story unfold is another story. the missions are weak easy and repeative. the game's biggest feature is its hacking and it failed at it. the hacking is so easy it doesnt even feel like hacking. sure the hacking in the movie scenes are cool and fun to watch, but actually using the hacking in the game it self is boring and super easy.
the main character Aiden Pearce sounded good on paper but actually controlling him and listening to him was a big let down. he sounds like a robot, shows no emotion what so ever. the only time he shows any real emotion are in the movie scenes.
i say the only redeeming quality to this game is the open world aspect. you can explore the wole city with out beating a single main story mission. but sadly ubisoft failed once again with the graphics. on the xbox 360 and PS3 i wasnt expecting jaw dropping graphics, but i was disappointed with their PC port. even on 1080p on high settings the game looks awful in my opinion. it looks like the game is still in beta stages.
hands down Watch dogs is by far the worse game i played on PC and consoles
