How 1 Bad Game Killed The Watch Dogs Franchise

[@BelHunterMusic]

I know exactly how they could fix this. To recreate Watch Dogs 1 and give us the game we always wanted. The original developer himself said that the game was NOT ready to release, but Ubisoft passed the deadline and they already made so much delays so they had to release what they have and cut so many features...

[@Patatras_5325]

I mean the game was in development for like 10 years if I remember(starting out as a driver san Fransisco sequel), how much is enough for them?

[@zer0_ner034]

​@@Patatras_5325Who knows. Afaik Watch Dogs was in development hell for a good chunk of its creation.

I absolutely love the first Watch Dogs and like to come back to it from time to time. I think it's the only game where I really enjoy to just walk around the city instead of running or driving everywhere. One thing that was missing for me was New Game Plus mode or being able to replay main missions. I tried twice to get into WD2 but I gave up both time and couldn't force myself to finish it, I hated the tone of the game and the characters there, I much preferred the darker tone of the first game and especially Aiden Pearce character.

[@Nitro_Foundry]

Watch Dogs 1 was amazing, and Watch Dogs 2 despite the lighter tone, was a lovely game with an immersive city and super fun. (I wish the would have kept Digital Trips from the first game, but I digress) I couldn’t even play Legion. They basically stripped it of most of the hacking and everything that made it good in the first place.

The play as anyone gimmick soured any chance to forge a strong story from the dystopia. What the game couldve had was a dual protagonist concept of the young hacker vs the grizzled fixer. Each able to access parts of society the other cant, and their approaches to liberating London bringing both into conflict when they have to support each other.

[@xpflowexclusive4313]

I found PermaDeath option so much more enjoyable story wise than WD2. While I agree... I could care less for the story of Legion.

[@noorulhasan4904]

If you have season pass you can play as aiden or wrench in the main story It does improve the story when you have established character but then again that literally undermine the play as anyone mechanic In short ubisoft fk up

@@noorulhasan4904 yep. bloodline couldve been the entire game or if they wanted to flip protagonists of different skills keep it to 4 to 8 recognizable people max and make em dependent on each other skill-wise with a flimsy working relationship for tension.

[@liamdallimore807]

I may be paraphrasing, but what Whitelight said in his video about Watch Dogs when it hit it’s 5th anniversary always comes to mind, “Watch Dogs’ failure is what Ubisoft deserved, it’s just not what Watch Dogs deserved”

[@Me_Myself_Maly]

Ubisoft didn’t deserve Watch Dogs! I swear if you give this series to any other reputable developer, they would’ve run circles around Ubi with just one game.

[@ericdegre3538]

When they announced that one of WD3 features would be to play as any NPC, I saw the disaster right away. Underdeveloped story, very basic cinematics and generic dialogues written to be said tons of times in every situations. Coming from Ubisoft, it was too massive a concept to be done in a good way.

[@gameragodzilla]

Ironically Ubisoft has done this before (sorta) with the perma-death rotating group of generic soldiers in the original Tom Clancy games like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon. However, those games also knew their limitation of only basic storytelling since you can’t have any sort of central protagonist, which was why they presented all their scenarios and stories entirely as if they were real counterterrorism or military operations. You sit down, get a briefing of the mission, select your team and your gear, do the mission, extract. But there’s no room for any sort of genuine storytelling. And it is notable that the first Tom Clancy game to try having more of a narrative and be more like a playable Tom Clancy novel rather than just a Milsim is Splinter Cell, and that game did limit you to a specific main character: Sam Fisher, who is a fleshed out character (Michael Ironside even providing a lot more detail and character himself to make Sam more interesting). If Watch Dogs Legion wanted to pull off the “play as any NPC”, then it had to make it more realistic and less cinematic and story driven. Instead, it tried to do the usual AAA cinematic storytelling people expect with this wacky idea that is fundamentally contrary to it and failed miserably.

[@abdoflaha5006]

I loved watch dogs 2 played it and replayed it multiple times. And when they linked it to assassin's creed I got super hyped. Legion might be the dreadful final destination but I definitely enjoyed the journey.

[@contra7631]

Also you didnt mention so many things got removed from first 2 watch dogs game.Like traffic light hack,Blackout,spikes,traps for police,garage doors,bridge,train hacks,helicopter hacks,in legion you will notice all the cars drives in same speed,but in previous game different car had different speed and they had more faster vehicles,jam comms,911 calls,call cops and gangs on others in wd-2 and see them fight each other or just create a distraction,better police system,slow motion, reputation system,big map size, countryside,phone ui,ability to listen music through phone,police search,better parkour animations,also good npc animations,Good motion captured cutscenes,random npc encounters like police chasing gang members or other npc activities,minigames like digital trips or racing etc. so many good things got just removed from the previous games.If they ever make a Watch Dogs-3.They have to make the game less futuristic and more about present day.Not a fan of futuristic take on it.Also they have to add all this features back to the game with a decent story to eve. Consider it a decent game.

[@ViewtifulJae]

Idc what ppl think about the tone of WD2 it’s definitely the best of the 3 and I cannot believe they didn’t do more with multiplayer . Multiplayer in wd1 was so much more fun imo Wd3 was horrible. Felt like one chore after the next. Recruitment process alone would take up hours of play time and not in the fun way . No bueno . And multiplayer was also regressed even further lol

I want them to make a watch dogs and have it with aiden again

[@kingofawesomeness5375]

I really wanted to love WDL but after forcing myself to love it for about a month or so I just can't say too many good things about it. The few good features include the key feature of the game, the ability to recruit any NPC as a playable characters with a list of personal randomised traits. Another good feature is the different relationships characters can have; you can encounter a person you've sent to the hospital before, you can encounter a friend or a relative of a team member of yours, or someone you've saved previously and they'll hate/like you respectively. Last feature worth mentioning is the satisfaction of knocking out an enemy with a non-lethal weapon and then executing them with a lethal gun, but that's a feature many games have, like Hitman.

Very good story and immersive gameplay but not much to do outside of the main missions and a few side activities. But Watch Dogs Legion.... I never really liked from the start.

[@psiforce8342]

The Watch Dogs series suffered a lot of misfortunes, mixed with undeserved & Ubisoft messing it up. While Watch Dogs 2 was good, it robbed Aiden Pearce from Watch Dogs 1 of a proper continuation to his story as there's so much potential they can do with a his complex character, but because people at the time thought Aiden to be too boring & not easy to like despite having a good story & themes that compliment the character, we end having Watch Dogs 2 be a completely standalone sequel set in a completely different tone & with completely new & different characters. While Watch Dogs 1 & 2 are great in their own rights & show range of how the hacking world of Watch Dogs can be, from the dark grim rainy streets of Chicago to the bright colorful sunny scenery of San Francisco, we still didn't get a chance to properly continue the story of Aiden Pearce, could've either been in a DLC expansion of Watch Dogs 2 instead of being a small cameo or instead of doing the overly-ambitious Watch Dogs Legion, they make a Watch Dogs 3 focusing back on Aiden Pearce's journey as the Vigilante/the Fox given the ending of his story in Watch Dogs 1 left room for where he'll go. They could alternate the storylines between Aiden Pearce & DedSec SFO gang in each entry or if they want, just make a Watch Dogs 3 with Aiden & the DedSec SFO gang (essentially, Watch Dogs Legion Bloodline should've been the 3rd Watch Dogs game we got). And it sucks how Legion turned out cause the devs seem to know that Watch Dogs might be thrown away by Ubisoft & not properly learn their lesson after Legion, so they made Bloodline a send off for BOTH Aiden Pearce & the DedSec SFO gang (Aiden literally retires from being the Vigilante/the Fox & the DedSec SFO gang have already disbanded). Bloodline was great & the only reason Legion is worth a discount To be honest, it's a good thing I waited out till Bloodline to come out as playing as Aiden Pearce & Wrench in the base game story is what hard carried me in enjoying the base game despite how bland & boring the base game story is. With how Ubisoft messed the series over, we had a great time with the characters of Watch Dogs 1 & 2, but we never had enough time to spend & felt too short...

[@4400seriesFAN]

What the game companies FAIL to understand is that the sales of a game are based on the quality of the PREVIOUS game in the franchise.

The first two games are tied as my 2nd favorite games of all time (#1 being RDR2) I've written like 5 essays about how much I love WD2 on other KZbin videos but they are absolutely amazing games and this could have been a PHENOMENAL trilogy but unfortunately Legion was a HUGE disappointment. The DLC Bloodline was excellent I'll say that much I loved Wrench & Aiden together and playing as Wrench for more than just one mission was the best. I'm currently replaying the trilogy and once I get to Legion I'm gonna do Bloodline first then play the main game as only Aiden and Wrench.

So satisfying to call an enemy in front of parked car make them stop and then hack the car to ram into them, to complete whole lvls with the RC or the spider, hacking into Nudle (Google) and the FBI were such amazing missions, driving the Cyberdriver car and Duran Duran and Judas Priest blasting in the background.

When a game company has a huge fail they need to throw out their release schedule for future games and fix what they just released redesigning as necessary which will prevent future game failures

One thing you have to admit about watchdogs legion though is the final mechanic is way more of an improvement compared to watchdogs one and two even if it is a little bit repetitive

I thought that the whole watchdogs IP spun off from a cancelled unannounced modern day setting assassins Creed project. But then, when they started getting complaints about the game’s overall serious tone & the dreaded comparisons to their AC franchise & how the fans made them self conscious about it eventually they got the case of “the volitions” and tried to completely separate themselves from it in their next game. And while they did become successful, it was also criticised for their over course-correction steering the WD Franchise into being way too silly, then by the third game they just went into a completely aimless low effort direction basically giving up trying to make an attempt to give the franchise it’s own unique identity with the implementation of a “make up the plot and Headcanon in your head to fill in the blanks” type of direction with their recruit every NPC Mechanic where everyone you recruit is entirely disposable & interchangeable with eachother throughout the entire story, making it impossible for anyone to get personally invested into the story which made their very hollow phoned in narrative writing even worse to experience since there’s absolutely no characterisation whatsoever.. Even by the time they release the story campaign DLC’s with multiplayer DLC’s on top of that even the Official Assassin’s Creed DLC that flat out canonises it to the AC Franchise to embrace it’s roots as an old Cancelled AC Project to bring in more players by that point it was just too little too late since no one except for the handful of hardcore fans checked in and then Ubisoft decided to just completely throw their hands up, give up & abandon the IP altogether.. (& no I refuse to believe that it’s not canon, you don’t make entire story Crossover DLC’s & just take it back, especially when it narratively contradicts absolutely nothing & actually enhances both IP’s mythologies by being canon to each other’s universe, it’s canon, end of fucking story! Especially when the Watch_Dog’s IP has been Officially Permanently Discontinued so there’s no reason to keep both Franchises separate.)

Great video keep it up btw i have watch dogs legion and i really liked it i didnt even had and issue with the the lack of voice acting from my operatives thats maybe cuz i play gta online alot and there you play for a mute so for me it was better to have some voice acted main character.

Dont forget they practically cut the hacking in half in legion although after beating all 3 all i need at this point is the distract hack and a police baton to beat the game

techland also did this with dying light 2. As a HUGE fan of the franchise i was beyond disappointed to see what the trailer had (dark and gritty graphics that showed the world had ended). The release was washed out and bright colours with a yellow tint that didn't make the game look premium but rather a 2010-2019 type of game. even if we could download mods to help the atmosphere it still wasn't worth it since the game should come along with it
