Watch Dogs 1 deserved so much better 

I honestly love the original watch dogs. I remember being like 13 or something when it came out and thought it was such a badass idea. I revisited it after playing legion and found myself enjoying the hell out of it more than I did legion. I’ve heard criticism about it taking itself too serious, but it’s campy and I love it

Discourse about this game was a classic example of "Nice opinion, did a RU-vidr give it to you?"

I think Aiden also makes a great character to play as in a video game. He’s literally an excuse to hunt people down and kill anyone who gets in your way

It's more than the sum of its parts. A game with a truly singular vision and atmosphere.

One of my favorite games of all time, the nostalgia I have with this game 😌

The problem is that 1) it came out shortly after GTA V which overshadowed every other game around that timeframe + 2) some people already had negative notions about it and stayed on that bandwagon, even well after its' release

WD1 suffered from Ubisoft completely overselling it, also didn't help it was released at a similar time GTA V was, so all attention was on that.

Your right, the game does deserve way more credit and praise then what it got before because it displays a great deal of realism on how destructive technology can be when exploited by someone with a particular set of skills in field of tech and so much more. Aiden is one of the most realistic base of his character arch that made him the man he is.

Watch dogs 1 & 2 are great games but watch dogs 1 holds a special place in my heart and will forever be a fan favorite my top 5 games of all time

People can say the game's shit but the gun close range takedowns and death animations can keep me entertained forever

I have a strange love/hate relationship with Watch Dogs. I guess you could call it a guilty pleasure of mine. I know how flawed it is and it would have been such a better game had it not been rushed. But I can't help but love it the way it is. If it wasn't the mess it was, we may not have gotten Watch Dogs 2 (which imo is a huge improvement). In a way, its failure made it successful.

This shit was HILARIOUS!!! Just Aiden helping out Chicago by killing one “standing man spread” man at a time 🤣

Your commentary style has never worked better than playing FBI Most Wanted: Aiden Pierce!

Finally, a protagonist who's just as insane as you. Now you can experience true ludonarrative harmony for the first time. I'm already seeing some really good focus use. Try meleeing someone while you have a gun equipped and see what happens. All melees also regenerate your entire focus bar almost immediately, allowing you to play kind of like Doom 16

If we had the mechanics of 2/Legion with the grounded, serious, and darker tones of 1 - Ubi could actually make a fantastic open world game.

Hell yes, this game gets way too much hate. One of my favorites, even if it’s not perfect

"Aiden is a psychopath!" You mean the guy that lost his niece and went after the gangsters that caused it?

You can’t hit me with that wild intro and continue like normal 😭

You earned my sub dude. Very unique style, witty commentary that feels very natural when it was written down and so on. I'm happy I discovered this channel, I love this type of commentary!

Watch dogs 1 will always be the best out of the 3 games, wish they carried on with aidan as a character. Such a blast to the past thanks for putting a smile on my face once again voiy. *chef kiss*

Hope they release a new watch_dogs game this time in the past at around 2003 with the early internet and most importantly around the time of the 2003 New York Blackout caused by T-Bone. We could have some returning characters such as T-Bone (obviously), Aiden and Damian. Of course, Aiden and T-bone don't seem to know each other before the events of WD1 so we could have the main character meet them in different missions where they won't see each other. Also, in the cutscene when T-Bone comes with Aiden to the bunker in WD1, Aiden mentions Damian to Clara and T-Bone gets angry even though he is supposed to not know him. From this we can imagine that the two already met before and this could be around 2003 in New York in the new Watch Dogs. Some would think this idea could not work because we won't have many hacking opportunities because the CTos was not created yet. The main character will still be able to do some minor hackings such as cameras and computers. This will make the game slightly harder unlike watch_dogs legion which was for a lot of people (including me) way too easy.

Riding on the L train and listening to music while it's raining in game is an unforgettable experience

Jordi is 100% the best part of this game and it's a shame he didn't make an appearance in Watch Dogs 2. "Guess what? It's not the pizza guy!"

watch dogs 1 was amazing. I played it when I didnt have wifi back in the day. I love it!

that intro wild 😭 glad to see you back on my recommended feed though Voiy, hope you're doing well!

i played WD1 over and over again when i was younger, i was always fascinated by the idea of "hacking" and "hackers" so playing a game that involved that was so interesting to me, still some of the best gaming experiences ive ever had and that time was about 8 years ago now, amazing game.

I've got this game in my Steam game library. I downloaded it when it was on sale cheap ages ago, and for some reason I haven't got around to playing it yet, thanks for the reminder. Cheers

I can’t even call watch dogs my favorite game franchise but for some reason I’ve replayed each one over 3 times. Can’t lie they are fun

holy shit why is no one talking about how this guy cracks the most hilarious jokes 😭

The first watch dogs is the only one in the series I like.

Yeah I love Watch Dogs 2 but I think the first one was very underrated

I grew up with this game so I support this message

The dark humor in this is top notch

If you make another video about this game, give those psychedelic side quests a try.

How have I only just found your channel?! so funny and savage!

My god xD was laughing contently, you are a comedic genius my man

Am I Trippin or is this modest pelican??

Your commentary is genuine gold, cheers for that 😂 👌

I was dying laughing the entire video, even to the point of spitting out water

Oh my god, I haven't laughed this much because of a video in a long time. Thanks.

You guys remember driving in the game, turn on the radio/ music player, and then hear day n night by kid cudi

This was my Cyberpunk 2077 moment, yep after the 1st watchdogs I stopped getting hyped for games.

I remember enjoying it back in 2014 when it came out. Even with the launch DRM problems.

Aiden Pierce is a Northern Irishman so the lack of effect of alcohol is highly accurate.

Really enjoyed this, you should do watch dogs 2 next 😁

I loved this gives, the vibes are Immaculate and the story is just *chefs kiss*

Loves this game so much I replaying it and it looks very good still and um genuinely loving the characters

i love the watch dogs play it for years nevers get old

when you said the cereal thing it made me laugh because thats what im doing now 💀

6:54 most goated clip watch dogs is literally one of the best games to play with a friend and fuck around with

Just found this channel. Great content!

I get Modest Pelican Vibes. Great video. Thx

I kept watching jus cause of the commentary. Absolutely beautiful

wd1 is my second favourite game just for its combat alone

I payed full price for this game first day it came out just for it to be 12$ a month later. that’s where my hatred for ubisoft started

I think the games world building is prob the best in the series. I perfer the more gritty and conspiracy theory of deadsec group. I’d like a prequel game to watch dogs 1 and how the council of Dave was formed

Yeah, Watching Dogs does deserve better.

i havent laughed this much in a while

Love it since release, so glad Aiden is back in WD Legions.

I really liked this game. Still need to complete the expansion.

I notice a bit with brit reviewers is (while granted there can be some glaring immersion breaking ludonarrative dissonance) they bullet point every single ludonarrative dissonant element of a video game as part of its failing. Instead of chalking it up to the big picture of how story in a game has overshadowed the game.

This is my favorite game. I’ve beaten it a dozen times and the one thing I can say about it, it’s a John Wick Hacker Man story.

Playing again now on ps5 with the online turned on for the 1st time and wow. I love the pvp style in it. Just jumping into strangers' games to tale them and pretend to be an NPC to blend in. Hacking them and watching them go crazy trying to find you and seeing that last couple percent of the hacking progress bar go by before you're back in your own game knowing they're probably a little raged by not finding you. Really good community too. Made two new friends just last night from us hacking and tailing eachother and messaging to compliment or joke with one another. Best part was when I set a trap on the 2nd or 3rd floor of a parking garage in the far corner taking cover behind my car. I knew NPCs never go in these garages so if i saw one it had to be a hacker and i thought it'd be my friend as i had just hacked HIM. A couple minutes of waiting and someone turns the corner on foot walking up the ramp from the previous floor and I opened fire and killed the hacker immediately, before they even saw me. It ended up being a random hacker, not my friend. It was amazing because he walked into a trap set for someone else and i died laughing and feeling a bit guilty as I'm sure they were so confused

remember playing this game when i first got my xbox bc it was free

The character in Watch Dogs games is a major high point so many quotes hot dam

While I personally prefer 2 and 3, I still enjoy the hell out of this one. Aiden is, like you said, nowhere near as bad a protagonist as people make him out to be, and the gameplay is simple yet fun

I remember playing the online mode of this with my best friend when I was like 12 it was the goat

Ooh watch dogs. Certainly unexpected but a welcome surprise.

I would like this to become a series

I still play watchdogs legion 😂 I do the challenges online every week and I sometimes go on the campaign

You sir have a new sub

The beginning caught me off guard harder than the fixer who killed Lena

This is why I like to play games first before forming my opinion on it. I played it for the first time on June 6th, 2022 and I fucking loved it. I thought the story was great for a 2014 game, the combat was exhilarating, and the gameplay was clean. I also loved the parkour aspect that even drove me to play the next game just two weeks later. I love the entire WD series besides legion. Legion would be legend tier if the save data shit didn’t happen. I did the same mission 5 times now and that’s the last time I’ll do that. Tried to get a refund but apparently a broken game isn’t refundable.

I am playing Watch Dogs on my PS4 Pro console + Sony A95 Quaantum Dot OLED tv. It looks and feels so smooth at 4K resolution.

Alway great to see you pop up in the sub box brother!

Deserved my sub in the 1st 60 seconds on the video

I really recommend this to give this game another try. It feels different then the world of GTA we all know. Is it perfect no, but it has it own unique feeling to it. Add a graphic HD pack mod to it and the game looks stunning, defenitely at rainy night. Yes it lacks on food and drinks outlets, driving mechanics are horrible, lack of decent clothing variation but i remember playing it hours just walking around looking at the dumb npc's id's, hearing them weird and funny conversation with each other, playin hours of poker and killing them if i lose at it. In the end its still up to you if you kill everyone or not, there still is a choise to battle them melee and still act like a civil protaganist.

This game is hands one of my top 5 favorite PS4 games

Now its time for Watch dogs 2

The commentary is genius and hilarious 🤣🤣

Very underrated

So glad your channel is growing. All the best. P.S. Please play Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the best games ever.

I'm playing it right now & I'm enjoying it :D

watch dogs 1 story is wild

I love watch dogs one and 2 the gameplay is fire and story. My only isssue is there isn't enough gameplay and in dept story besides

the first 23 seconds is exceptionally relatable

This reminds me of modest pelican

Watch Dogs is a good game, but its even better if you use awesome mods like Living_City and Reborn

Yes this is a great game! How the hell did Ubisoft pull that off?! Lol. Also I was laughing through the entire video. And yes The Godfather should be watched weekly!

I play this game just to drive through Chicago's familiar neighborhoods.

Amazing video +1 sub

I hate the people who hate this game but they never play yet.

😂 my dude got a good sense of humor

Great video.. Just played this game again last week.. Even if I got the platinum trophy for it last year this game is special.. Npc done right.. Pvp invasion.. Dark en grim world I love it... I tried watch dogs 2 but find it to dull and cartoon isch..

This was perfect

Your commentary reminds me of modest pelican xD

I also really enjoyed this game, its fun being discount batman

I have 85 hours in watch dogs, love this game still amazing till this day! i would love to see a new watch dogs, with Aiden as its main character agian. like a full game. if the would give watch dogs the witcher 3 treatment that would be crazy 🤩🔥🔥

3:02 line bought you a subscriber

Started playing it myself for the first time in years today, I genuinely loved it back in the day, but I tried the Wii U version today ... don't think I'll be going back to that version XD
