was gonna get into WAtch Dogs but the reviews i read gave it a big "meh" but you guys are saying otherwise here..hmm
Honestly, I think the reviews were a little unfair. The game is very, very polished and the gameplay is fun. It's not perfect and I've heard the story isn't that great (I am only in Act II so way too early to judge), but the gameplay is rock solid. Hacking is fun, and it livens up car chases in a way GTA doesn't. I love being able to complete a lot of the game stealthily, and more importantly stealth actually
works when the game allows it. The ability to move from camera to camera, tagging enemies and examining the environment for potential ways to take out your enemies is fun. Moving from cover to cover works almost all the time, and I rarely found myself doing something other than what I intended the game to do.
I really don't know what else to tell you. As an open world game, Watch Dogs just works. It's fun, the world is interesting, the gameplay is polished, and there is a ton of shit to do (and most of it is pretty fun). You also get actual good to great rewards for completing sets of side missions or doing various things within the world, which gives you plenty of incentive to do them (something other open world games can forget).
I'll be perfectly honest and say I got kind of bored playing GTA V. I didn't even come close to finishing it because I lost interest. The story was interesting enough, but the world was almost too big with not enough to do to make the size of it worthwhile. As for Watch Dogs, I haven't had as much fun playing an open world game since Saints Row IV and Sleeping Dogs, both of which really sucked me in.
