Nobody is “doing” anything if that makes sense. The biggest problem the game has is London. I don’t know much about Watchdogs other than it had a good reputation. All the hype, all the glamor, and it plays like shit. I’ve been so mad since that game came out.
If you don’t have WD2 please play that instead it is a much better game than WD3 in so many ways If you thought of picking this game up, don’t.
From a fan of the Watch Dogs series I feel like this game is a disappointment and not worthy to be part of the watch dogs franchise. Sorry for the rant but I needed to get it out. Including the way you can tell if they are spotting you or not it makes the areas agonizing to get through. Also the open world missions, the red areas around the map, have some of the worst AI placement and item placement I’ve seen in a long time. Now it’s feels like someone else is doing everything for me and all I have to do is go to an area. The missions in WD2 felt like I was actually doing something and during the stealth missions it felt like I was a real hacker trying to infiltrate an area. The main missions are go here, hack thing, go here, hack another thing. Missions and Open world Missions - some missions in this game are fun like the fighting arena one but the main missions feel like I’m doing nothing compared to WD2’s missions. Removing the store name of an item in your wardrobe is also a very shit change and makes it harder to find clothes. But now without it the stores feel lifeless and feel the same. Being able to put a bunch of cars and explosives in a store and blowing it up was so fun. Also removing store interiors is probably the worst thing. Every store feels the same and sells the same shit, there is no variation. Another change I don’t understand is how stores and wardrobes work. The change makes no sense to me and is honestly confusing. The removal I hate the most is the removal the ability to walk around and listen to music. Now calling in a car is a character ability and taking a photo does nothing. I loved how easy it was just to get a picture for scout-x and call ins car. Also most of the characters personalities are very bland and unoriginalĮxtra stuff that was removed for no reason - The removal of the phone menu sucks ass. It feels less about real hackers and more about random people who just happen to know what a button on a phone is. The character variation in this game is cool but I miss how it was just a rag tag group of hackers trying to stop a company from taking peoples privacy. But with that idea you have to get rid of the skill tree, which is bad for the reasons above.
It’s very disappointing and gives less variety to the gameĬharacters - Now I don’t mind the new Idea of reciting characters I think it’s a cool idea. Now we can get upgrades like different drones that barely change anything. You could get a massive blackout, make your drone drop bombs on people, send gangs after people. The old skill tree let you unlock increasingly crazier hacks to use on your enemies. Tech Points - Tech points are fine but the Tech point skill tree is an sorry excuse of upgrading. The hackables in this game are very lack luster and lack variety You can’t do that anymore now you have to wait boringly and just hope no one sees you during missions and can no long cause chaos. Once you completed WD2 and got all the botnet upgrades you could go around and mess around with shit and cause chaos by moving cars to make a traffic jam or turning on headlights to crash cars. Removal of Botnets and certain hackables - Botnets let you strategize weather or not I should use 2 to distract someone or use it to move an object, the cool down system makes the game a lot slower and annoying. If you want reasons why this game is shit here you go I’ve had more fun playing WD2 in a 30 minute segment then I have the 8 hours I played WD3. After replaying watch dogs 2 before this game came out and then playing WD3 it is crazy how shit it is.
