I found the first one to be mind-numbing, and I couldn’t push through it. I really tried to like it.
The second game looked good, but I get hung up on playing games in order, so I never tried it, having not finished Watchdogs 1.
As for the third game, I never play multiplayer, and it didn’t seem like something that I would enjoy.
First was OK, second was good other than some weird tone issues, third was total trash.
That first E3 presentation made one hell of a first impression. I’m not actually played the games though.
Haven’t played the 1st or 3rd yet.
I tried the 2nd and quickly bounced off of it because I found it boring, annoying, and tacky. It’s got a real hello-fellow-children hipster theme, and not in a fun way like Sunset Overdrive. In a corporate way.
The first had great driving (especially car chases) and I loved stopping the predicted crimes (even though it was repetitive).
The second had great combat/stealth and side missions, but I disliked the driving.
Haven’t played Legion yet.
First one was good, second was excellent albeit a little cringeworthy, but the third was pretty dire.
I’ve never met anyone that says Watch Dogs is their favorite franchise.
I’ve tried to play 1 and 2 and was bored off of it after about 4 hours. Never grabbed me either time.
Liked the first two. Couldn’t get into the third. I think in part because of the fact there was no main character. Also the setting wasn’t doing anything for me.
We watched the movie Eagle Eye and made a game about it – 1st one
“It’s evolving, just backwards”
Honestly they’re good fun games. I liked the 1st the most because I prefer it being more serious. I didn’t really like the story of the 2nd but it was chill and fun. I know many people didn’t like legion but I thought it was fine. Honestly London open world was the main drawing point for me and it was nicely done. Overall they’re not masterpieces, but if you’re stuck for games or want something chill then I’d recommend these games especially since you can get them very cheap now
Only played the first. It was perfectly adequate
1 was great, 2 was fun, 3 they lost focus
1 and 2 rock, 2 is a bit better. Bigger map, a bit less dark (ending of 1 was way too sad for me) and even more hacking.
Legion was a superfail. NO ground explosions anymore? Driving on the wrong side drove me nuts, missions were kinda boring. Felt more like a GTA London. Indoor areas felt tiny. Meh. And the PLAY ANYONE made it unpersonal. You had no connection to your character. And they saved the time to come up with a story for him.
Non-existent
i kinda like them.
Don’t get me wrong, they sure as fuck amazing games.
Definitly enjoyable tho.
First game has overall better driving, and the world overall feels better. Story was also better.
Second one had slightly better stealth and general gameplay, but driving was worst by a lot.
And the story felt kinda disjointed. You’re basicely jumping from quest chain to quest chain constantly. Hard to keep a proper narrative.
​
Third is hard to describe. Is it good? no. It is bad? no quite. It does some things well, like recruiting random people to help with your jobs. The problem is 95% of the time the traits are basicely irrelevant, and you’re better off just sneaking around yourself. The traits is a gimmick, and was poorly implemented. But the maps nice, the athmosphere is nice, and the added resistance mode is pretty fun.
​
Problem is the gameplay loop is basicely run around, see someone get abused, tag abused person for recruited wiht your phone, shoot the abuser, run away lose cops. Boom free new person. REpeat until you got like a dozen person, then pick a random map objective and literaly throw bodies at it until you clear it.
I find it enjoyable.
Couldn’t stand the first game. Second game is one of my favorite games of all time. Still haven’t tried the third one.
I was so hyped for the first one to come out. I got it and was having so much fun for like 3 days maybe? And then it became boring. The 2nd one I thought was better, but still got bored pretty quickly. I haven’t actually played the 3rd. But what I’ve noticed is that Ubisoft games all feel the exact same. Maybe I’m crazy. But every game made by Ubisoft, to me at least, feels the exact same with just a slightly different color of paint over top of it.
Watchdog 2 was the best out of the three.
The first one was decent, it had a sort of vigilante vibe to it, a milder version of Max Payne or Punisher. But the quality of life was GARBAGE, the lack of map filters alone was criminal. But I did love how they had a train running around the city, it somehow cemented and grounded the game’s realism and really helped make the world believable.
The second one I didn’t like so much. The edgelord kiddies, the weird vibe, the way they did hacking, none of it was enjoyable or interesting to me. Quality of life improved a bit, but not worth the tradeoff and the shift in tone. It felt like the game was made for 12 year olds who think they know everything and are totally badass.
The third one I never even tried, because the second one was so bad.
Only played the first one, and it still is the most fun I’ve had playing multiplayer on any game
I skipped the first because the buzz was bad. Which is typical; first releases are often “un-polished”.
Epic gave me WD2 for free so I played it and loved it. Bought Legions and loved that too.
2 is definitely the best, and probably the only one I would suggest playing
WD1: Bland environments, bland characters, bland mechanics, bland everything else.
WD2: addressed everything that made the first game such a chore and was a lot of fun as a result.
WDL: uhhhhh……. WTF…?
1 was the best. 2 was ok. Legion was weird
I had a ton of fun with the third one, second was a weird shift in tone but I enjoyed tooling through SF and being able to go to a bunch of landmarks was cool.
I liked the third one because you didn’t have this set in stone story for a character. The combinations of abilities you might get were wild, and loosing a character actually meant something. It had real mission impossible (1996) vibes. I wish there were missions you could have operatives move in tandem but other than that I had a blast making up backstories for my different operatives.
Played 1 and 3. Gave up after 3h
The second one is severely underrated
Seems like I agree with most here. First was good, second was above average, third was too hard to get into and I quit playing. Good thing I only payed $20 for 3.
1 was great. Played it like 3 times.
2 never worked for me. Refunded it. Got it for free then, tried again, not my thing.
Legions was amazing. Played it twice. The dlc was great.
I absolutely loved Watchdogs 1 multiplayer. I still have a video of when I was hiding and had someone who actually found me but I ran through some buildings, cut some corners and came to a stop amongst about 6 NPC’s and I see him running around and then he comes and scans EVERY SINGLE NPC but didn’t notice that he somehow didn’t scan me. I just stood there. He leaves and comes back scanning people again and the same NPC’s again! I was staring as the progress went finally to 100% and I “won”. Was absolutely heart pumping.
I’ve enjoyed all 3 of them for different reasons, probably 2, 3, and 1 in that order.
3/Legion is weird in that the prologue dlc is better than the main game, and wrench and aiden added much needed characterization.
1, the game was fun but i disliked aiden enough that it dragged the whole game down.
2, is kind of the happy medium of the three, i feel like the forced inclusion of lethal options hurt the plot
I’ve loved them all but unlike a vast majority, I really enjoyed Legion. Couldn’t figure it out why until recently, thanks to Starfield. I like roleplaying in games. In Skyrim I’d have multiple characters. A spell sword who uses magic and knives. A Orc barbarian who only uses two handed weapons or a rogue wood elf who leaves no witnesses. Each character has their own personal rules they follow and combat style.
Legion offers something similar. Spy’s with fancy gadgets, brawlers who can knock someone out with a special punch, an electronic bee keeper who uses bee drones to do their dirty work. I like to play those characters as who they are. Brawlers don’t use guns so it’s unarmed combat the whole way. Need to eliminate someone? I’ll switch over to one of my hitmen that I recruited. I even recruited a street sweeper who only uses non-lethal weapons.
The thing that Legion offers that Skyrim or other RPGs don’t offer is that I don’t have to start a new character. I don’t have to load up another save and start the story over again. I can freely switch characters (before a mission) and stick by the self impossed rules that I made up for that character. It gave recruitment a better purpose for me and did add challenges to the missions so it wasn’t just a shoot fest.
Played the first one for a bit and I’ve had 0 dog to watch or pet. 0/10 worst game ever.
WD1: I’ll get revenge because they killed my niece
WD2: we, the world’s best hackers, need followers to hack Facebook
WD3: hey you common citizen, you are now a hacker and all the powers, now for your first mission go and kill mark Zuckerberg
First is my favorite by far, and has aged exceptionally since it’s release helped by the fact no other game attempts it’s premise, tone, or atmosphere. In fact no other series attempts the premise/gameplay of watch dogs which is as shocking as it is a huge waste in potential. Legion is easily my second favorite as you get to play a unique spin on the first on/open world games in general as it’s more of an immersive sim. Highly recommend checking out both those games.
mid
The third game was a case of we can’t be arsed getting a full time voice actor and have no idea how to write a good character so here is a fkn granny who can take out armed gaurds
Dogshit
First was so boring I never played the others.
One of the biggest wastes of potential ever, though I really did enjoy the first one.
Tremendous lack of actual dogs despite having “Dogs” in title.
I played the first one and there were these missions about discovering a serial killer. Amazing missions. The environmental storytelling. Kinda wish the entire concep of the game was about tracking down serial killers, it would have been so much more gritty.
The first was a decent single player game with an innovative multiplayer experience. I loved the idea the more you hack other games the more yours gets hacked with the framing of leaving a larger digital footprint. I really enjoyed that
