Like I had GTA 4 level types of fun because of all the possible, random things that could happen.

One time while i was playing watch dogs 2, i saw two people play badminton at a park. I called in a gang attack on one of them and shot the other one. What i didnt know was that there was a gang territory nearby. After realizing that the gang were searching the area for marcus, i decided to hide. Thats when the other gang came to kill one of the npc playing badminton. The gang shot and killed the npc from there car. But since the gang from the nearby gang territory was on alert as well, they started to fight. This led to a brutal gunfight between both gangs. One of the npc near the park called the police. The police later came in and then it turned into a free for all. After a while, the swat came in and after a while only 2 groups remained. The gang i had called and the police The police won later on. I was driving around in oakland when,i stumbled upon two npcs near some houses . I decided to make fun of them to which one of them started punching marcus. Thats when another npc came in to calm the two npcs down that i had made fun of. They calmed down for a moment. But i started making fun of both the npcs again. One of them started punching marcus again to which an npc called the police. The police entered the area and arrested the npc punching marcus. I decided to follow the police car when suddenly a gang war erupted near by. The police responded to it and i followed them. At the scene of the gunfight i saw 2 gang members invading a gang territory. The police started shooting at the both the gangs when one of the gang member threw a grenade near the police's car. The car blew up killing the npc that got arrested and then my own car blew up. After a while the police won the fight. One time while walking in oakland, i saw another npc walking around as well. I called in the gang attack on him. After a while, the gang came in in there car and killed the npc. The gang left the area and i decided to get into a car and drove around for a moment when i saw 3 swat cars follow the gang's car. I followed the chase to see what would happen. The swat cars kept on ramming the gang's car. After a while the gangs car went out of control. The gang bailed of there car and started shooting the swat units. After a long gunfight the police won. In watch dogs 2 there is a location at oakland where a lot of gang members are present. So one day i went there and called in the police on one of the gang territory's member. The police came to arrest the gang member but he resisted which led to a huge war between the police and the gang members. The gang members from territories nearby came in and othere called in backup. The normal police officers were defeated to which the swat came in. Bullets and grenades were flying around everywhere, while the swat and gang cars were blowing up. The npc were running around to take cover from the gunfight. After a while i accidentally ran in front of a swat unit shooting. I was playing on hard difficulty so after only a few bullets, i died. Watch dogs 2 is a great game. Its very fun to play and the map is small but alive and fun to explore. My only complaint is the bugs and that the money in this game is a bit useless. It should have had properties that you could purchase like in gta 5

I'd argue the characters being "awkward/cringe" fits perfectly. They're all mid-20s, still trying to figure themselves out. Hence why the first few missions are "for the lulz" and then it gradually gets more and more serious. It doesn't reach WD1 levels of darkness, but it sure comes close.

I think what makes the world so good is that every place is unique. There are no copy pasted buildings and the people feel like they really do stuff. For example when something happens without your influence, just something between two citizens. An example would be a guy smashing the car of another person with a baseball bat and then the police is called and arrests him. In general the city feels alive. Sure, some interactions are cringe or feel forced, no doubt about that, but even those partly cringe actions turn the peds into more than just random people which do nothing but walking around for no reason.

I think a big part of why WD2 wasn't liked at the time but is more respected now is due to the general landscape of modern-day game development. At the time of launch, it was compared to other open world games. Witcher 3 hadn't been out long, Skyrim was still fairly fresh in people's memories, Far Cry was still good and generally, other games on the market all had their own interesting mechanics.... In comparison, WD2 just wasn't that exciting. Fast-forward nearly a decade and the picture is very different. Most games these days are cookie-cutter games that follow a standard formula. If you go back and play WD2 now and compare it to games from recent years, it stands out as having an interesting world and some decent mechanics that are different to what we're used to seeing. Because of the law of diminishing returns, the graphics still look good to this day (not something that was the case if you played an 8 year old game back in 2016). Compared to your average game from the past few years, WD2 stands well above them so people view it through a different lens and can have fun with it.

[@Trinket_Master]

Watch Dogs legion isn't a bad game, it's actually hyper fun in small bursts but it has completely lost what made Watch Dogs good in the first place. The hacking is severely downgraded from 2. That being said WatchDogs losing its identity started with 2 1 was a masterpiece in storytelling. People condemned it for having a boring protagonist but Aiden is literally the deepest character in the entire series. The campaign is a showing of his slow decent into madness over the guilt that consumes him. He comes up with every justification under the son for his punisher levels of violence he inflicts on anyone who crosses him, I mean the guys nephew is kidnapped so he erases a a town's worth hired men just to send a message. Watch Dogs 2 is amazing but the story and characters suck, they're fun on the surface level but anything deeper than that and they fall apart. They're meant to be hippie hackers (dumb, what happened to the grit and realism) but Markus goes on cop killing rampages and murders hundreds of gang members during the campaign but nobody acknowledges it for the sake of the story being consistent which it just isn't

Watch dogs 2 has a cool character Smooth gameplay Awesome hacks to do Interesting story(to me) It’s an underrated gem of video game entertainment

[@alextownley9388]

I know exactly what you mean! I feel like it’s more apparent with the Far Cry games. Like the cinematics in 3, 4, and Primal look very high budget for their time, but 5, and especially 6 seem to be really lacking in the cinematics. Idk if it’s a lack of budget or meeting a release window restraining them, but their cutscenes don’t have the high production values anymore. It’s so weird though because the actual worlds are still quite pretty. I feel like the most significant downgrade is the facial animations just looking off.

It's just gone onto Gamepass today too if anyone wants to check it out and has that.

[@jayveeeee]

wow i didn't even time that i swear 😅 pls upvote this people!

[@umarshahzad116]

Honestly I can't tell you how hyped I was for this and when it came the countless hours I put into it it's just a great game to put on and have fun with

[@imforealdo9141]

10:06 man really shouted me out and didnt even know it

[@carreragt8516]

I loved this game too, feel like it was a big step up compared to the first

[@rainsfall4119]

it was a big setp down in terms if story/narrative and memorable characters. it's just feels like it's a cleaner and family friendly version of WD1

[@neithealebor]

Great game. Specially map design, npc design, car design amazing. Car Physics little arcade but still fun. Ubisoft always create great maps, amazing npcs and amazing open world. But they always make mediocre story and theme. imagine detailed RPG game like this, Mixed with Mad max, Days gone, State of Decay 2 and Watch dogs 2. it's just will be amazing. Ubisoft open world detail, map and npc detail always amazing but their theme always mediocre. Still Watch dogs 2 great game and must play.

[@ramadansteve3115]

Watch dogs 2 is addictive the art style, the gameplay, the music everything about is just perfect the characters can be cringey at times but it gives them unique charm and I like the upbeat vibe It's probably Ubisoft's most underrated game

[@The_Devils_reject]

Peak millenial humor

[@jinxysaberk]

it's weird WD1 has always been one of my fav games and my preferred in the franchise due to Aiden. The thing is tho the second I loaded up WD2 I was hit with a wave of nostalgia and when I got into the gameplay I had forgotten just how amazing WD2 is. overall it's probably a better game even if you prefer the first like me because the gameplay is so much better.

[@timmieturn9138]

Watchdogs 2 was my first game that i completed ever it was such a special experience

[@warrenbadze]

Im totally downloading this game it looks fun people always said it sucked .. I cant believe people hated this game ... Ima also get the first one cause that totally few over my head too also because people said it sucked .. Do people just not like ubisoft?

[@clark987878]

Yea the Ubisoft hate boner is real. 90% of my favorite games are Ubisoft after I stopped listening to critics

[@GamingSkeptic]

Watch Dogs 2 is my favorite. It has the best cars, environment and gameplay imo. Watch dogs 1 has the best story tho.

[@jax_wildguess]

This game is gem! Ignore this guy’s mocking goofy voice, the game is actually insane!

[@Fai-cg2ep]

Your Watch Dogs video made me want to play it. I bought it and it's probably my favorite open world game. I loved it so much I bought the second one without finishing it XD

[@vellikaari3008]

I agree on the point that Marcus doesn't seem like a killer. Even though i did gun my way through San Francisco and make an absolute joke of the security teams and gangs, I felt like it had zero impact because it's just never talked about. Like the story just assumes you're not killing anyone, which is nice for people who aren't as good at the stealth in WD2, but for a game that prides itself on play styles... Meh.

[@Godfather9814]

Watchdogs 2 is hands down the best in the series, granted some of the characters were kinda cringy but not horrible and some were pretty funny and felt like you could connect in some ways with them and their backstories! The map design was amazing from the richer neighborhoods, the busy business districts, the Silicon Valley all the way over to the poorer areas on the east side of the map all had their own feels and designs. The soundtrack was really good, seemed to be more features than you could ever get bored with and so on! My only complaints I can think of is sometimes the song psychics could be pretty crazy watching stuff sometimes flying into space when you hit it with a car, and the wanted system seems OP sometimes that just when you thought you lost the cops it’s like they use the force and find you in the craziest places so when you need to lose them to finish or start a mission it just drags it out a bit too long

[@RusticYT123]

I would love if they brought this to switch one day. I doubt it but on that little system this would be really fun. Even the first game would be really nice.

[@sammyortega7329]

this was like one of the first games that ubisoft had released that was actually close to what they had advertised

[@johnsmithson4479]

The multiplayer for this game was surprisingly fun too. I had so many great times where my friend and I were frantically trying to escape from a bounty hunter by car, boat, shootout, whatever. One thing I disliked was that escaping from the police was a fucking chore, way too long and drawn out

[@rickgear2579]

Im ticked that this never got a next gen patch.

[@jayveeeee]

yeah that blows! it runs awesome on PC. maybe it will come since Ubi has done next-gen patches for Odyssey and Origins?

[@raresmacovei8382]

Xbox did get 60 fps patches on Séries X/S.

On a mission called Caustic Progress there's a glitch that if you restart from the checkpoint the glitch will stop you from talking to a NPC named Marty.

Inaccurate San Francisco because there isn't a fog cloud just settled onto half the city the entire game.

[@Fyke816]

Still one of the best co-op games I've ever played. My buddy and I played the shit out of this game back in the day, just going around doing everything we could. It's kinda like a fresh GTA online.

[@gmhself]

Watchdogs 2 was my first game in the series, after that I played the first one (never got to finish it) and very soon I played Legion. Got 2 again for old times sake

[@ciaranbrk]

I still comeback to watchdogs 2 because I love wrench hus relationship with Marcus is so fun. The only time I killed in watchdogs 2 was getting the guys who hurt Horatio that's when I went on the warpath.

[@thedopeson]

The Watch Dogs games are soooo underrated. They're all special in their own way. Legion is my favorite, but damn 2 is an amazing game.

Explanation for 10:44. Ubisoft implemented a new feature in the game that allowed for random occurences to happen in the game, where random players would join you and try to hack you. Their objective is to act as incospicuously as possible and try to not get caught by you. You'd catch them by id'ing them with the phone highlight option(like the thing you used to select an npc when you were going to take money from their bank account), and killing them. If you caught them, you got money. If you didnt, they got money
