Good things about Watch_Dogs: The robot spider minigame was actually fun and enjoyable.

Bad things aobut Watch_Dogs: At no other point in the game is it actually fun or enjoyable. It feels like they made a list of features necessary for an open-world game, then went down the list meeting the requirements with no eye to making anything about it fun at any step. Also, the protagonist is a huge unsympathetic tool, especially in the scene where he first meets the hacker lady and is super-rapey for no reason.

I sentence all of the designers of Watch_Dogs to sit down and write a 40 page essay about why Saint's Row 2 is more fun than their game.

I rented Watch_Dogs, and there was a mission where you had to stop a convoy of cars from reaching a certain place, and take down one of the people in the convoy without killing him. This would have been fine except that the game didn't let you use any of the actual tools of the game. There was literally nothing hackable on the route, even a traffic light. It was in an open suburban area so there was little cover.

At one point I stopped the convoy, ran to try and double back, and the person who couldn't be killed got shot by one of his friends and I lost the mission.

Maybe it is, but he's not a complete tool with no sympathetic qualities that's enjoyable to watch. Also, it feels like they intended for the viewer to think he was totally rad rather than a complete wanker. Kind of like Neo.

I got it for free. It is a neat NSA-agent-wandering-around-Chicago simulator. And I enjoy the animation for wrapping a collapsible baton around someone's head. Not much else though.

It's not an FPS, your white privilege is showing.
