Should You Buy Watch Dogs 2 In 2022? (Review)

[@dragonofdolittle1332]

I really liked WD 2. Causing chaos and the NPC reactions to it was really fun. Legion was soulless.

[@JacksGameReviews]

Legion was truly awful I liked that they tried to do something new with the controllable characters but it failed so badly. It’s a shame really

[@olliesangalang8103]

I bought this game used from gamestop because I just wanted to play a game based on my favorite city, San Francisco. That was back then in 2019 and its 2022, almost 2023, but im still playing it. This game got me through the worst of the covid pandemic. Im a nurse btw. Whats funny is, I dont even do the missions, I just do the online game where i run from hunters. Thats always fun.

[@Sb142sf]

This game got me through the hard times and I appreciate it for that. The open world and the exploration brought me in another world. The story was mid but that’s not what I play it for

I really liked this game! I thought it was also more immersive and better connected to it's setting/location in Silicon Valley than the first game. Interesting change in the storyline also.

Watch Dogs 1 was more dark and gritty, whereas this one was more outgoing and had more of a humour side to it.

WD2 was one of my first games i would definitely buy it again. but once you’ve done everything there’s not much to do other than make money unless you have friends you can do challenges. story mode or playing solo would get boring once you finish the game.

Co op is just great.. Good game in overall... Too bad main story is weird but hey its a different take than the first game so I get it

[@sol5916]

I think it's a bit lame how people put down Ubisoft. Honestly, I think their games are a lot better than nearly anything else on the market. I feel like people don't feel cool or genuine unless they put down the obviously popular titles and prop up the niche ones. It's the reason people will gush over Dark Souls 1 and mention Elden Ring in passing. A solid game is a solid game. And the sales numbers alone shows you that most people like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. Ghost Recon as well

[@JacksGameReviews]

Oh yeah I’m not saying people don’t like them but they just make the same game over and over again. They rarely innovate and there AI systems are usually awful. I’m happy other people enjoy them and I enjoy a lot of the older games like the og assassins creed splinter cell ghost recon games but I just don’t like them all that much anymore. Plus the ridiculous amount of microtransactions they force into there singleplayer games

[@MBulldog1979]

I have a few games of them like several Far Cry, AC, Ghost Recon and while they are diferent there's undeniably a formula to them. I think that's what most people criticize, at least I do.

[@MuriloRiFO]

Ubisoft's games are boring and uninspired, they've given me gaming burnout more than once. With the exception of Rayman and Splinter Cell, I'm never touching their shitty products again.

[@prodbymizzy563]

Watxh dogs 2’s story was amazing you need to play it again because the characters were just perfectly written. The story is so amazing

[@_rebecca.]

I personally enjoyed the first one so much more than the second. The overall vibe is different even though you can do more in the second, but the story overall was not memorable for me.

[@JacksGameReviews]

The first and second definitely split the fans I think I enjoyed the story of the 1st way more, it had more stakes and felt more mature but I prefer the second for gameplay overall although watch dogs 1 had better gunplay imo

[@dilwalecricket]

First game got a lot of hate for no reason and it's definitely better than the sequel

[@perd3252]

Watch dogs 2 was so cringy that I quit playing it after the first hour. After a while I tried it again and eventually forced myself to finish it. Amazing gameplay but the characters and story was incredibly annoying immature

[@ayeh2309]

I was just playing this early today lol. Due to Ubisoft rushing legion out the door and it’s shit sales/reception(which is deserves). I most likely won’t have another WD game for awhile. Oh well 2 is probably the best in the series

[@sirvincerd9346]

Yeah WD1 story was better imo and was easier to follow. People say gameplay in WD2 was better but I still say WD1 excels in that too.

[@mravg79]

Out of the 3 games so far WD2 was the best. But in this case it means a good game and nothing more.

[@JacksGameReviews]

Legion should be forgotten forever That was a disaster imo

[@mravg79]

@@JacksGameReviews I would not call it a disaster. But mostly average to from time to time OK. I got ultimate edition for 25eur (instead of day one 100eur) and I would say even with all additional content not really worth the price I paid. The problem with legion is less systemic game than WD2 and they half baked the system play as anyone. There should be more specialization for agents and limiting what they can use to their specialization. In my case elite hacker agent plus cargo dron (over powered af) and I only in few moments in the game when I was forced to change the agent or I expected gun fight I was changing it to other agents (mostly the ones that came with ultimate edition to give them a chance). This is the problem with choice. You optimize your time with the game and fun. Which means that one player might want to have army of retired people, and the other will use overpower character. There is too little variation in missions to make them more agent specific. And made agents feel unique (like limiting overpowered cargo dron to be only used by construction site workers). A simple test to compare the two is find NPC and start following them. Also just want around the city and check how many "random" things are happening. The San Francisco was creating better impression of living city. On the other hand London was under martial state so it forced some changed which negatively impacted the game and reduced the number of systems that should interact with each other.

When you said the some characters die there is no change and that still make jokes, let not forget when Horatio died because of 3 specific gang members apart of a special gang, Marcus went and rained hell on all 3, they even had a part where they were using his desk as a memorial, the only reason why things didn't go any further than that, is probably because they knew Horatio wouldn't want them to sit in sadness he, he would want them to continue to lift each other up through dark times and to take care of the threat no matter what fr, I wish he stayed longer though, he should've gotten more camera time with Marcus

[@samnnsat0]

Best WD game in the series imo. Second favorite is WD 1. WD2 is my favorite mostly bcoz it was a remarkable improvement over WD1 and I liked WD1 following which WD became one of my favorite video game franchises. Least favorite is Legion. Honestly, I was quite excited about WD Legion when it was first announced, but it didn't turn out to be as expected, although its not too shabby by itself.

I think the game is actually pretty great, first and foremost, it is a fun game, it's a bit hard to get into at first, but when you do, it's extremely fun. I think the story isnt that great but that's fine

[@timadams3975]

I love WD2 although I don't play it no more. There's so many different ways you can troll other players as a hacker or a victim. Great times! haha. WDL most definitely went in the wrong direction for me. A really good upgrade with WD2 with a similar map would have been fine with me.

[@goatfitness]

I am a fan of the 1st game and I do own the 2nd but combat just feels very light/not impactful. It's missing the punch IMO

[@JacksGameReviews]

Yeah the first game had way better gunplay Felt great to hit a headshot but it’s not the same in 2 unfortunately

[@themightestofg]

The gun play has definitely been nerfed, but I still like WD 2'S hacking and "stealth" (the stealth is still pretty simple but its an improvement) but I kinda see a WD remaster with the hacking of WD 2 and the handling of legion.

[@bradhoover1644]

Opinions and everything...I don't think Watch Dogs Legion is bad at all. Most people who complain about it lack any real imagination to be able to create their own hero. But the controls, level design are very good.

[@RatedRRaj]

Yes this game is still amazing in 2022 I just started it playing it again for the platinum trophy.

[@krsakil]

Did we play same game? Everything is crap in WD2. Everything is like from cheap plastic. There is now weight in cars, weapons, walking. It's clunky and boring a-f. It's not worth "free" price tag and you are telling people to pay $20 for this?

Maybe physics isnt great, but its defo not as bad as you said. Game is fun and immersive. There a lot of things to do so it isnt imo boring. Objectively its 10x more fun than any gta.

I have to agree with you the first mission I was soooo in to it the music the style everything …. Then u get out of that building and all the fun stops The character’s personality’s are corny af the main character is cringe he gives me “let me get a hug 🫂vibes” none of the cars give me real style and from the jump it feels like I have everything I’ll ever need I have $40,000 at the start of the game and a outfit is $690 I can steal $78 from anyone walking near me and all cars are stealable and slow.🤢 it’s boring

[@GaryParkin]

Thank you for the video and the review. I bought Watch Dogs Legion and I'm really enjoying it. I've played thru all of the Fry Cry series and liked them. WD and WD2 is on sale on Steam until the 9th for 12 buck for both. I may pick them up. How bad could they be for 12 bucks? :)

[@GaryParkin]

Answer? Really, really bad. If you enjoyed WDL, don't expect it to be anything like the original. At least in my opinion. It's not the story line, I liked it, it's not crashing, mine did not. It's the stupid combat system and the game spawning in enemies behind you after you cleaned them out. You pull out your gun to fight guys that are shooting you and you have 3 police cars magically show up, also trying to kill you. You can't aim correctly after the first shot, so you can't win, just put your gun away and run. Don't get me started on the crappy driving physics. I guess by the time they got to WDL, they had the bugs figured out. Shame. I really wanted to like the game.
