    很少有新的游戏特许经营权如此完全实现并且没有重大缺点,这就是为什么这是一个如此令人印象深刻的成就。它不仅比同类型的许多前辈玩起来更精致、更广阔、更生动、更有趣,而且是下一代游戏玩法的最佳典范

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Watch dogs 1 was pretty cool for me because of the dark setting and the badass mfcker Aiden Pearce. That just completely fits the vibe of this game. Generally quite underrated by the "hate" or better said strong criticism because of the fake trailer

    I think this was one of the best games of Ubisoft ( it’s like this : watch dogs = 10 watchdogs 2 = 8.5 watchdogs 3 = 5 )

    I hope Ubisoft make watchdogs 4 exactly a copy of watchdogs 1 ( a good story + great gameplay like watchdogs 1 + ability to have all weapons not like watchdogs 3

    Watch Dogs tiene una historia muy buena, el protagonista (Aiden Pearce) está muy bien; jugablemente es básico y es divertido y no es un juego malo como muchos dicen.

    Best game in my life Aiden Pearce is a mix of John wick and batman
    With some special things like be a professional hacker

    This game is great at pulling emotions when invested into it. The repeating crimes remind me of Spider-Man 2 on GameCube. The story is great and follows a main character looking for revenge for a loss of a family member.

    Jogo excelente. Ótima ambientação, temática, jogabilidade (exceto carro). Foi o primeiro jogo de campanha que me encheu os olhos quando tive meu Xbox 360. Nostalgia puta, gráficos lindos para epoca, enfim, incrível.

    Watch Dogs hat aufgrund der Diskussionen um die berüchtigte Ubisoft Formel bereits vor Veröffentlichung viel Kritik einstecken müssen. Die immer selben Open World Mechaniken mit den immer selben repetitiven Nebenaufgaben, nervten viele Spieler und Tester. All diese Ubisoft Schwächen sind auch einem Watchdogs inhärent.

    Übersehen werden bei all der Kritik jedoch oft die eigentlichen Stärken des Spiels. Mit seinen Kamera Hacks bietet Watchdogs nämlich nicht nur eine wirklich einmal neuartige Spielmechanik, sondern kombiniert diese zudem mit ausgefeilten Stealth Elementen und einem ordentlichen Deckungsshooter. All diese Aspekte zusammen machen die einzelnen Quests in Watchdogs so zu einer Spielwiese an Möglichkeiten, um zum eigentlichen Ziel zu kommen. Stellt man sich geschickt an, kann man so manche Questaufgaben gar lösen ohne das eigentliche Gelände überhaupt je zu betreten. In Sachen Gameplay spielt ein Watchdogs so auch den direkten Konkurrenten GTA5 locker an die Wand. Dass das Hacking Element zudem zu einer äußerst lebendig und authentisch wirkenden Open World beiträgt, indem man beispielsweise Handygespräche mithören, oder Kurznachrichten abfangen kann, gibt der Spielewelt den letzten Schliff.

    Zugegeben, die Fahrphysik der Autos ist nicht sonderlich überzeugend und die Rachestory um den Hauptcharakter Aiden Pierce jetzt auch nicht unbedingt geistreich. Wer aber einfach an gutem, innovativen Gameplay interessiert ist, der kommt bei Watchdogs garantiert voll auf seine Kosten.

    Great open-world AAA GTA style hacker gamer, that is unique enough to stand on it's own from GTA series. I'm saying all this as a hardcore GTA fan btw. Aiden is very cool, serious, deep main character. He is not you average hero who saves the day and acts nice. No. He is serious vigilante on revenge quest and that's what makes him actually interesting and cool.

Unlike Batman, Aiden actually kills his victims and that's no hate on Batman, i like Batman and that's whole another debate, but Aiden is very, very cool and likable character. Anyone who wanted him to be perfect hero, can look for some other game, Sims maybe. There's lots of similarities between Max Payne and Aiden, i have never seen anyone whining about Max Payne or maybe these haters have just never played that masterful shooter series, that is Max Payne. Either way Watch Dogs is already a classic and has huge fanbase. Two sequels were absolute garbage, only Aiden DLC was decent. Hopefully Ubisoft want actually make money again and next WD game will be prequel with Aiden as a main character. Expand

    Вполне неплохая игра, атмосферный открытый мир, интересный сюжет, не шедевр, но за ним мне было интересно наблюдать, главный герой мне понравился за свою «обычность», Эйден Пирс - совершенно обычный человек, ведёт себя нормально, не разбрасывается глупыми шутками. Он вполне обычный и серьёзный, и в этом его изюминка. В целом, игра мне понравилась!Вполне неплохая игра, атмосферный открытый мир, интересный сюжет, не шедевр, но за ним мне было интересно наблюдать, главный герой мне понравился за свою «обычность», Эйден Пирс - совершенно обычный человек, ведёт себя нормально, не разбрасывается глупыми шутками.

    I was playing Watch Dogs all night yesterday and i just can't get over how good and underrated this game really is. City design is absolutely fantastic for this 2014 video game. Graphics are solid on PC, story is fun enough.

    Watch Dogs is a slightly different game from games like GTA V, this time, you are a hacker in a quest for vengeance.

The city of Chicago and Aiden Pierce being a Vigilante are such a excellent match, as Chicago, being known by the amount of crimes.
    The NPCs are amazing, when you walk the streets, you fell like everything is alive. The gameplay is great, the story is simply amazing, the graphics are okay, but still, could be better.
    There are some things that needs to be improved, like driving and repetitive side quests, but apart from that you will still have a great time doing different side activities.

    All in all, I recommend it for all open-world game fans. If not for the gameplay, at least for the story which is amazing, thrilling and fun.

    Great game, got hate because entitled lazy gamers never even tried it. They were like "huh downgraded? must be trash". Actually looks pretty good for a 2014 game and has fun open world and nice story.

    One of my favorite semi-futuristic, city-centric, open-world games. I can't believe it was so underrated when it came out, but seems like over the years, lots of people have finally found this game and it gets the respect it truly deserves!

    El juego es el primer Watch Dogs de el cual fue un titulo de la 7 y 8 generación de videoconsolas.
    Es muy buen videojuego y en mi opinión todos los Watch Dogs son muy buenos videojuegos.

    EL principal problema del vidojuego es que es un titulo de 2014 se nota un poco antiguo el viojuego pero tiene buenos gráficos y sonidos, en lo falla mas es en la conducción.

    La historia es bastante buena, pero nada comparada con otras Watch Dogs, la personalidad del personaje es bastante rara. En este Watch Dogs el protagonista se centra en salvarse a el y a su familia.

    Recomiendo el juego a fans y a no fans de los videojuegos Watch Dogs, si has jugado otros Watch Dogs te gustara pero notaras menos posibilidades de hackeo y otros fallos.

    Watch Dogs is still very much popular game and people still very much play it. Not sure why some would think that it has died out. That's not true.

So saying that GTA 5 is more popular today than Watch Dogs is kind of obvious. If Ubisoft was milking Watch Dogs since 2014 with similar online support as GTA 5 then it would be also more popular today. But Watch Dogs was always meant to be Single Player game first. Only reason i care about GTA 5 is also single player. Expand

    Watch Dogs is a fun open world experience. However, the repetitive chases and the formulaic gameplay tend to get tedious and boring after a while. As such, you might want to enjoy the different multiplayer experiences and take frequent breaks to just roam around the city.

    It’s a bold first step on the new terrain for Ubisoft. The game is enjoyable, offers some interesting mechanics and lasts for long enough, but is bland as a whole. The characters lack personalities, the city could use more distinctness and the story is instantly forgettable. [07/2014, p.46]

    Overall, it is almost without a doubt the best platformer that has popped up on the current generation of consoles and is a bedrock on which Ubisoft could build a brand to remember.
