Watch Dogs had so much promise as a franchise, Never underestimate Ubisoft's ability to screw things up

[@rollitupmars]

Watch dogs one and two were both good imo legion sucks

[@khayyamal9207]

Still to this can't believe how badly they ruined watchdogs legion, watch dogs 2 no kidding is like one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played, one of the fewest games that I went back for a 2nd playthrough, the gameplay is just amazing, all the hacking abilities and freedom to approach each mission and messing with AI and etc... still can't believe Ubisoft took it's pants down took a huge dump on everything good and positive they made and had with WD2 and made extremely boring and soulless garbage which was WD legion

[@lawrencetalbot8346]

I loved the story of WD 1, loved the environment of WD 2. Legion… I’m struggling for a compliment. But I enjoyed the first 2 games

[@magivkmeister6166]

Ubisoft motto at this point is "overpromise and underdeliver"

Sleeping dogs is an absolutely amazing game. The combat is so slick and smooth. Epic fun. Sad that we'll likely never see a sequel or even a remake/remaster.

[@dr.loomis4221]

What if I told you they remastered it in 2014? It even runs at 60fps on Series X

[@Amins88]

It would actually be nice to have a sequel to continue addressing the main theme that was never truly answered. That question of allegiance and identity was left ambiguous, which was a smart decision. But I feel like a lot more could be explored with this.

[@CheapBastard1988]

​​@@dr.loomis4221It's not a Remaster. They just maxed out the settings and released it on newer consoles to give the PC experience on console. A bit like the PS5 release of GTA V: Better than nothing, but mainly for you to give them your money again.

[@robertrosalez6560]

Yes it is a remaster it says so

[@mentalhell4846]

Sleeping Dogs is the third installment of True Crime games and it was remastered under Definitive Edition title.

[@BardockPOL]

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has one of the best single player campaign in the FPS genre. Yes, it starts really slow, but after 3 out of 15 episodes it gets waaay better. Also it's one of the not so many great western themed games and it was released before RDR was a thing

[@basvangeest5485]

I honestly love the first watch dogs. How gritty the crime was, rainy chicago, an amazing soundtrack, the hacking, escaping the cops by messing with streetlights, bridges and speedbumps. The whole thing felt awesome to me.

They really need to bring Stuntman, Road Rash, and Burnout back!!! Some of the most fun Ive ever had playing games. Destruction Derby 64 would be amazing to bring back on Next Gen as well 🔥🔥

[@Elwaves2925]

There is/was a spiritual successor to Burnout in the works, by some of the same devs as the original, called Dangerous Driving 2. Not sure what's going on with it now as it's been silent for a long while.

[@phoenixdzk]

Road Rash is every 90s kid's childhood

[@denisvarga2794]

I mean... We have Road Redemption.... Kinda road rash but not... Same gameplay but different... With kinda modern visuals,

[@jmccoy5667]

Burnout 2 is still one of my favorite racing games

[@WhyHighC]

We need NFS to do like CoD and switch between Burnout and NFS games. Like merge them to one title and how Black Ops and MW have their own style.

[@Weeniewarden]

The first Stuntman was one of my favorite games growing up. Very frustrating to learn the levels but I always enjoyed the challenge on learning all of the levels and driving mechanics to get a good score. The game was ahead of its time a bit in my opinion especially with the realistic driving physics which made it even more enjoyable to folks like me. There really wasn't too many other games during that period that encompassed the physics the game had.

[@cLab2022]

Using the arena to create your own stunts was very enjoyable too. I would try and recreate a monster truck event, crushing cars. Stacking cars and jumping off a ramp into them. So much fun.

[@Weeniewarden]

@@cLab2022 the arena was awesome! Me and my friends would create the most crazy stunts we could think of and see if we could pull them off in different vehicles. You just don’t get games like that these days.

Titanfall one had so much world building within a multiplayer game, got the art book because of it. Need more games that break the mold and have unique ways to tell a story.

[@Rumpled4SkinFU2]

Mercenaries was SO MUCH FUN. One of those games you pick up and did not at ALL expect them to be that good. VERY unique and definitely one of a kind. Needs a remaster.

[@alexanderspenner9887]

Watchdog 2 got the mood that makes it great! Fun and relaxing while exerting. My favorite is still the first one. The story resonated in me and i fully understood the emotions. Would love more games where you are a vigilante (not superhero but more john wick) but it seems like it isn't the mainstream thing.

[@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch]

FEAR still has the best implementation of Bullet Time i've ever seen/felt in a game. The way it looks and feel is just off the charts.

[@butwhataboutdragons7768]

Best shotguns ever as well, imo. I've judged every game's shotgun since by how that one performed and felt.

Only game that comes close is Killing Floor 2 imo. Other than that one, I agree that there really isn't any competition.

[@MrDadyriveira]

F.E.A.R. 1 still looking good in term of graphics.....only the textures are bad now

Titanfall 2 was amazing. I never played the first one and fully expected to only play the campaign to get up to speed on the mechanics for multiplayer but I was hooked, such a good story.

[@TorQueMoD]

I absolutely LOVED the original Call of Juarez. It was a ton of fun to play.

[@Set209]

Resistance franshise should deserve a mention also!

[@tyblood87]

resistance had both 1 and 3 which where great, 2 and the Psp game where just ok

[@mentalhell4846]

They were good

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Watch Dogs 2 was the best in the series, It massively improved on the first one, Really captured the San Francisco Bay area

[@Toasticity]

watch_dogs was also good.

[@50H3i1]

Watch dogs 1 had better story . And yea legion sucked ass , only way for it fo a little better is with dlc which you can bring aiden pierce to main game and play as him

[@rayvintankerson6818]

@@50H3i1playing as Aiden makes legion actually feel like a good game. He’s badass and powerful asf

[@Snaaake_Beater]

disagree I have Bought watch dogs 1 & 2 on the same day.played 2 for 3 hours and had fun. started 1 and played through the whole thing immediatly. so much better story and atmosphere and no cringe dialogue

[@tehchicken1990]

watch dogs 1 was much better than 2

[@PK.NOiR.7]

Perfect Dark Zero alongside Halo 2 and 3 were my favorite local multiplayer games to play with my uncles

[@JoeyGatsby]

Watch dogs 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, just cruising through SFO seeing sights listening to music, climbing the bridge

[@mattbrown352]

Em, excuse me, the original True Crime: streets of LA may not have been the most polished of games but it was certainly a good game. I enjoyed the heck out of it a lot, even years after it came out and played through it way more times than I care to admit, even doing alternative missions after playthroughs to make sure I didn't miss a thing. Great game. How dare you good sir! Great video though, keep it coming. 👍 Edit: I will also fully admit that Sleeping Dogs is also just a better version of TC:SOLA, it's phenomenal and I played the remastered version a lot.

[@ZukoFTW]

Make sure you play the DLC as well ❤

[@SkyVega-lp7rq]

I loved Stuntman! It was uber tough like a soulsborne driving game but when you completed the level with minimal errors it felt great.

[@Law10205]

Man I'm so glad sleeping dogs was mentioned, I couldn't find it on the PS store on my ps5, and this vid reminded me of the game so I looked it up on google and it actually popped up and I was able to buy it, besides the wordle puzzles, its one of the most fun games I've ever played, so glad I was able to get it

[@Optimusprime809]

Yoooo Stuntman Ignition, that's a DEEP cut!

[@another1118]

sleeping dogs was really a good game

[@peirs3071]

I LOVED Bound in Blood's multiplayer. I wish I started earlier though. It got hard to find a match pretty quickly.

[@FabledGentleman]

And it brought us the infamous laddergoat! 😆

[@AmazingCrimsonDragon]

Stuntman: Ignition is a game that I REALLY wish they’d port to Steam or remaster. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had on PS2. Even got 5 stars on every mission when I was a kid.

[@blindtoad81]

Never played red steel 2 but I played the heck out of the first one, loved it for what it was back then

[@Toto-95]

Glad to see Call of Juarez : Gunslinger is on the list ! Game is SOOO slept on !

[@cardsfanbj]

I only just played Titanfall 2. I bought it 3 years ago but when I tried to play I had some issues running it, so I kinda forgot about it instead of troubleshooting that. Was looking through my library for something to play and it actually ran fine this time. It was awesome, but I beat the campaign in like only 5 hours on normal difficulty. Was hoping the threequel would be coming soon but I don't see anything that they're even thinking about doing it yet.

[@tombsofak]

There's been word that Titanfall 3 was in the works, basically thanks to Apex bringing in a lot of money and also being tied to the same universe however it's been canceled?? I REALLY hope not, this seems to mostly be rumor at the moment but it's what we know for now, this is a somewhat recent news.

[@Hugo-El]

I've played all the Final Fight games... for me it was very well known back then :D

[@RoyStantz]

The people at gameranx only said Final Fight 2 was "forgettable" because it killed their parents.

[@navyman1191]

Me and my little brother LOVED the original Stuntman!

[@dennisthewalker]

Sleeping dog is so underrated, i told almost everyone this and tell them to go support it. One day i really hope we can get a sequel to sleeping dogs. Follow wei again or something else different in reimagine Hong Kong would be awesome.

[@ZukoFTW]

I couldn't agree more ❤

[@TheMadStu]

Crackdown 2 was one of my favorite games from my childhood, and I still have so much fun when I go back to it nowadays. Never knew it was seen as a "bad game"

[@colonagray2454]

A lot of us have a game like that to us. Mine was Fur fighters on the dreamcast. Probably wouldn't hold up but i liked it as a kid

[@gameranxTV]

👍🏼

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

Mercenaries is still cemented in my brain as one of the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. I treated it like GTA back in highschool. 😂 I still remember the Pyongyang tower and the dreary color palette. With that said, I was a kid back then so I don't remember anything about the story.

[@patriciaanderson8203]

I never thought I would like Titanfall because COD and their exo suit jumping stuff, but when i finally played it I had a blast. My friends and I had the best time and funniest moments in the game.

[@voripeter]

I really liked Call of Juarez Bound in Blood. Good story with the bickering brothers, and something different with the western theme. Yes it was grey-brown, but so was every other game at that time. GTA4, Far Cry 2, and so on. Gunslinger was undoubtedly the best, but Bound in Blood was up there too.

[@donjon4335]

I was thinking the same.

[@Genox51]

I loved Mercenaries so much, that was such an amazing game

[@f-5e126]

To be honest, I've played both, and I know this is blasphemy, but I like the second game just as much.

[@ilovecacti]

​@@f-5e126I agree. I played them both a ton as a kid, and have replayed the 2nd one several times since, and always loved them both. I was a little shocked honestly that it was on this list.

[@RyuOmega33]

Stuntman! Man, I haven't thought about that game in forever. What a great game (ignition obviously) lol.

[@doom3648]

Mercenaries 2 might be rough around the edges but man that game is one of my favorites I played the shit out of it as a kid
