Watch Dogs
From the moment Ubisoft surprised everyone watching E3 with the reveal for Watch Dogs, there was a lot of hype for the release. The game ended up being underwhelming, and not just because of the controversy surrounding its final visuals compared to the previous E3 trailers. Players found main protagonist Aiden Pearce and the story of the game fairly bland, you weren’t put on the edge of your seat to find out what happens next.
You can tell from Watch Dogs 2 that Ubisoft took the complaints they received to make a better experience. The story was more interesting than what you got in the first Watch Dogs, while the main characters that you are introduced to are more relatable to players, and you get the feeling that they are making a difference. There’s more emphasis on the internet, social media, and technology, while San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area environment also link these aspects and hackers together better.
