    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    En su día este juego fue el mejor juego que he jugado en PS4 con el que descubrí los buenos juegos de mundo abierto y continuo pensando que es un juegazo.

    El juego junto varias cosas que me encantan: Coches. mundo abierto, buena historia, buenos gráficos, una de las mejores bandas sonoras y un toque tecnológico (hackear)

    Después de haber jugado al titulo +120 horas y un progreso del 100% del titulo, también me compre recientemente el Season Pass y lo recomiendo para la gente que le guste el juego.

    La historia puede llegar a ser repetitiva pero te puedo asegurar que te vas a divertir mucho...

    El juego tiene bastantes bugs, a mi me sucedieron los siguientes: Ultima misión error: "bucle de Wrench" (solucionado) y no recibí uno trofeo obligatorios tras completar la primera misión por un bug del juego (solo me falta el trofeo bug) (sin solucionar).

    A pesar de los bugs y otros inconvenientes recomiendo este juego al 100%, si buscabas un Watch Dogs este es el mejor de todos, el Watch Dogs 1 no tiene casi posibilidades de hackear y le faltan cosas y el Watch Dogs Legion no tiene protagonista.

    Watch Dogs 2 actualmente esta a muy buen precio y creo que todo usuario debería comprárselo.

    Watch Dogs 2 is a game that suffers from the bad reputation of the first game. However, I must say that the game was a very pleasant surprise, because I did not notice almost any bugs and glitches during my walktrough.

    Yes, as in every game, AI has its flies, if I tried hard, I would find imperfections in textures. But what I didn't like about the game was the very bad driving model.

    Yes, as in every game, AI has its flies, if I tried hard, I would find imperfections in textures.

    But what I didn't like about the game was the very bad driving model. It was really, really too arcade. I give a point down for that.

    The game offers so many possibilities of progress that you will not use all of them during one walktrough.

    As for the story, it seemed a bit chaotic to me and it took me a while to get my bearings. The main villain Dušan Němec looks insignificant. It often seemed to me during the game that the creators put too much humor on the dialogues. As a result, some dialogues are simply embarrassing. But everyone has a different kind of taste in humor, so if someone laughed, I don't mind.

    So, in addition to the already mentioned driving model, the game took all the good from the first part and further improved it (for example, the possibility of piloting a drone or a jumper). In the end, I rate a decent score of 8/10, because I really enjoyed the game and in the future I will definitely return to it, at least for a while.    … Expand

The best thing I loved about graphics was the leaves falling from trees, and how amazing the city of San Francisco is. I like how this game is more based on hacking than shooting, which points out the title of the game. They also managed to deal with the driving issues Watch Dogs has, but still it is not perfect. Some enemies are a little bit like bulletproof, but it is not really an issue. Online features are not really so good as the game, they could have improved it, but still you can spend some few extra hours on online mode as well.… Expand

    Characters and the story is 2 dimensional. Story is poor. Gameplay has improved since the first game but the story got worse. Caharacters are so shallow that I for the first time in a long time I have skipped quite a lot of cutscenes.side stories are not interesting either. Glad it is finished.

If you are not a GTA fanatic you will like the game. GTA fans do not perceive anything except GTA as an open-world game (in part 5 it even degraded compared to part 4).… Expand

    The collisions with cars are just dumb, you can ride your motorbike right into a truck and.. well nothing happens... at all... you just bounce away...

    Watch dogs 2(WD2) is absoultly better then watch dogs 1. Graphic is awesome, artworks is wonderful, motion is almostly perfect, gameplay is kicking my ass. Espectially Frasco is perfectly suited the WD's concept.

    but storytelling is not very good. shot cut-scene and many diaolog. Especially during side mission.

    The problem is dead Open World and Primitive gameplay itself.It's not even about bad graphics or stupidiest representation hacking nihilists(because current gen is really weak + second one is you artistic vision on hacking society, okay)

    Open World is still imitated and not alive. No ragdoll, no physics, no random NPC behavior, no such sandbox. I'm not saying you should make complete GTA clone or even Bethesda's Open World TES of Fallout but if you create open world - it must be sandboxic and with nice physics for interesting free roam in 2016...

    There's no such sandbox in Open World but cheap imitation of life in scripts and sprites which makes free-roam very boring. A lot of scripted NPC's with different movements but still unfree and so dead. Why can't you get that they need freedom and intellect, like in GTA.

    Gameplay is still scripted and way to casual. And when I say casual i'm not saying it's just easy to complete. Casual is gameplay itself. There's lack of inner mechanics. No such manual parkour but sctript that works by just holding one button. No combat system and lack opportunity to decide what to do with enemy(grab, stun, punish) but just take it down with yo-yo-script turned on by pressing single button.

    Tapping hacks is okay but press X to parkour and press X to take down - is just boring.

    Game lacks other activities, like kind of business, micro-economic model, may even deweloping our own webs of infrastuctures etc. Yes, I do understand, maybe it's not about your vision of Marcus but you could make special ingame mechanics of different side activity).

    That's all yet. The biggest problem is with gameplay and Open World.    … Expand

    What you end up with is a game closer to Saints Row 4 than Watch Dogs 1.

    City is very well made, the game is incredibly nice to look it. The problems come with the story, characters and general gameplay.

    Gameplay is very repetitive after 5/6 hours, few upgrades change a mission or 2 but the general idea is sneak in to a compound, steal "X" and leave. If you're seen, shoot everything and everybody.

    It seems Ubisoft don't know where to take this Franchise, they created a dark story first time...then switched to something which never takes itself seriously with some of the most annoying characters i've ever played with in a game.

    In saying that, it is fun enough to play in short bursts, would recommend it to someone at half the price it is currently, maybe pick it up in March/April when its come down in price..

    Hopefully by that point, all the online stuff will be sorted!    … Expand

    gameplay: the story missions are very good but just at the first half of the game bevause you can do the missions by a lot of ways but when yuu reach the half of the game the gameplay is so repetitive and boring sometimes because you know how to it.

    graphics: the graphics of this game are good but not the best graphics.

    bugs: of course we are talking about a ubisoft game so... this time this game doesn´t has a lot of bugs compared to the wd1 but the bugs that this game has are insignificant because the bugs on this game are only textures bugs, invicible walls, etc. but the bigs on this game doesn´t get to the point to restart the game or the level that you are playing.

    online: this game has one of the worst servers ever made, really. you can take like 20min and theres no matchmaking or if you have been invaded by another player the connection fails and you cant conclude the game invation.

    conclusion: if you like a great story this game is NOT for you.
    if you like doing the missions by your way this game is for you.
    if you liked the first wd story this game is not for you.
    if you hated the first wd this game maybe be for you. (it depends)    … Expand

I got the game earlier this week because I mistakenly hopped on board the hype train. I played the first one all the way through, and was sorely disappointed with the lack of features and content. It was this massive open world with not much to do. I mean, it has the (now) infamous Ubisoft style outposts and the gazillion collectibles the developer has become known for. The driving sucked, the story was cliche, and the missions were so repetitive. The gameplay could be summarized as "bang, bang, vroom, vroom, hack." What did the sequel do about this? Sorta nothing. It copy and pasted the hacking style of gameplay, and didn't change anything about the shooting mechanics. Also, the driving is still garbage, and bikes are the dominant form of transportation. Bikes can literally break the pvp invasion mode. If the invader is caught in mid-hack, and gets on a bike, they can weave in and out of traffic, and they control better than any car in the game. Literally every car controls as if the road is ice. It's terrible and annoying. Just go play any good open world game with driving like GTA V or Sleeping Dogs and you will immediately understand what I mean. Why is Ubisoft getting away with selling a mediocre game? It's practically the same as the first game, just with parkour and hipster clothing. In it's defense, San Francisco looks absolutely gorgeous and the parkour animations are very fluent. The game looks great, but that's about it. There are practically no changes to the multiplayer, which was one of the biggest problems with the first game. The E3 trailer for the first Watch Dogs had me hooked immediately. Seriously, go watch it, and you'll immediately understand why this game got so much hype. The multiplayer is what sold me on it. The ability to romp around Chicago with your buddies and hack your way through various missions seemed really fun, but that never existed. I don't know why, but there were no co-op missions in the game. The second game has these, but they are all just outposts. Why even give the missions different names if they are all just outposts? It's like Ubisoft put no effort into designing the "fun" aspect of the game. The design aspect is on point, and everything looks like it should, and the NPCs behave like they should, but it's not fun. It will get old very quickly. Every missions can be boiled to to "drive here, infiltrate this, hack that, done." Play the game and tell me I'm wrong.This completely diminishes whatever replay value this game had. There is no story variety, and the characters are just unlikable. There is no depth to them. Marcus is just a hacker and hacks for the sake of hacking. Aidan at least had the revenge arch going for himself. That's the difference between Marcus and Aidan. Aidan has a purpose. Yeah, you could argue that Marcus has one too, but it's not as powerful as Aidan's struggle. yes, his was cliche, but it was powerful and relateable none the less.

    Bottom line, this game sucks. Don't buy it. It's only slightly better than the first one. You'd be better off buying GTA V or Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition if you want you're pew pew, open world, driving fix.    … Expand

    Despite a few flaws, Watch Dogs 2 delivers where the original game failed. The game has improved on every aspect and provides a vibrant city with lots of hacking fun. The story is dull without any special moments but the immersive open world with lots of quests will keep you entertained.

    Watch Dogs 2 brilliantly solves the main issue the first game had while providing a world full of enjoyable missions. We faced some problems with the camera, especially during the car race. We also faced some issues with connectivity and online play. In the end, Watch Dogs 2 is a game that delivers in most aspects and provides hours of enjoyable content.

    Despite the MP issues, Watch Dogs 2 hacks this series back on track with its gorgeous locales, and silly emergent fun. Marcus isn’t *quite* our cup of tea, but he sure beats the hell out of the last guy. [January 2016, p71]
