One of the biggest draws of the first game was the fact you could hack almost anything in the game world to suit your style of play. Where Watch Dogs tried to take itself too seriously, Watch Dogs 2 tries to make the game fun and the characters more interesting, but I feel it failed to do that.

Some of these include driving a car from a famous in-game movie remotely around the city and exposing a religious sect for what they really are. The more downloads that the group receive, the stronger the CP power to hack the system. For Dedsec to bring the plans to fruition, you must conduct a number of publicity stunts to gain followers on social networks, which will boost the downloads of the Dedsec app. Their aim is to bring down the company CTOs by hacking their systems and exposing their flaws and weaknesses. Instead of a lone vigilante hacking the city to gain some kind of justice, we are thrust into the boots of a young hacker called Marcus who is trying to join the ranks of Dedsec a group of talented hackers. So it came as a surprise to many people when the trailer for Watch Dogs 2 was aired at E3. When it did eventually hit the shelves, the graphics were sub par and a far reach from what we were shown at E3 and the overall feel of the game was clunky and awkward.
Everyone thought that the new age of gaming was upon us.īut the game was delayed by Ubisoft and as a result fans couldn’t get their hands on one of the flag ship titles on release day. The graphics were crisp and clear and the gameplay looked incredibly fluid. Watch Dogs was one of the first big releases scheduled for release day of the Xbox One and PS4 and when it debuted at E3, everybody was amazed by what they saw.
So E3 2016 was going to be very interesting for Ubisoft, which is when they dropped the bomb that is Watch Dogs 2. Assassin’s Creed Unity was released broken (and remains broken even now) and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate bombed so badly that they decided not to make one this year, but plug the upcoming film instead. Ubisoft have had a tough couple of years, it has to be said.
