Watch Dogs (stylized as WATCH_DOGS) is a 2014 action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the first installment in the Watch Dogs series. The game is played from a third-person perspective, and its world is navigated on foot or by vehicle. Set within a fictionalized version of the Chicago area in 2013, the single-player story follows grey hat hacker and vigilante Aiden Pearce's quest for revenge after the killing of his niece. An online multiplayer mode allows up to eight players to engage in cooperative and competitive gameplay.
Development of the game began in 2009, and continued for over five years. Duties were shared by many of Ubisoft's studios worldwide, with more than a thousand people involved. The developers visited Chicago to conduct field research on the setting, and used regional language for authenticity. Hacking features were created in consultation with the cyber-security company Kaspersky Lab, and the in-game control system was based on SCADA. The score was composed by Brian Reitzell, who infused it with krautrock.
Following its announcement in June 2012, Watch Dogs was widely anticipated. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U in 2014. The game received generally favorable reviews; praise was directed at the gameplay, mission and open world design, combat system, hacking elements and mission variety, while criticism was expressed concerning technical issues, the discrepancy in graphical quality between marketing and the real game, plot, and protagonist. Watch Dogs was a commercial success, breaking the record for the biggest first-day sales of a Ubisoft game and becoming the biggest launch of a new intellectual property in the United Kingdom at the time. The game has shipped over 10 million copies. A sequel, Watch Dogs 2, was released in November 2016, and a third game, Watch Dogs: Legion, was released in October 2020.

@GameMaster136 2 года назад

Honestly think the first game is the best out of the three since the gunplay and stealth in the second wasn't as good. Also think Aiden is an interesting character. Find it a little irritating when people just think he's boring since he's not very emotive and upbeat. Jordi is also a pretty fun foil to Aiden. Like that most interactions with Jordi basically boils down to "Jordi what the fuck" in one way or another.

@WILLINGLYWILD 2 года назад

Agreed, aiden and jordi really reminds me of the duo of characters in the Judgement series, the new take on the yakuza game series , and we got the jokes but also someone to be serious about shit, in the second one these kids were murdering countless barely bad people and who they were in cutscenes made no sense, Aiden is a serious guy who was believably cold, or at least miles more than a lot of game protagonists doing similar to what he does

Everyone hates on Watch Dogs 1 but I fucking love it. Aiden is modern Batman, and the game is dark and gritty. But the game actually does have a lot of funny moments. Aiden himself is very fucking stoic and takes everything, rarely losing cool. Talking to himself and mentally preparing himself before missions. He’s such a cool, brooding character. But he’s also pretty whimsical in his own way. I also grew up in Chicago/Suburbs so the game hits me there too. Watch Dogs 1 will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. I love seeing people see the good in this game. It definitely has its faults, but it hits.

If this game came out in today’s market it would do really well. The market is more accepting now when it comes to so called “gta clones” this game has such a unique premise.

@mythically_odd 2 года назад

The first Watchdogs has pretty amazing atmosphere. That Chicago underworld ,vigilante, near cyberpunk, John Wick vibe is cool. Infact I play I it in a "controlled chaos" john wick style, slo mo, using quick hacks, being flashy. Has alot of things Cyberpunk 2077 shouldve had, but I think ppl will look back on that game too the same way given enough time. I wish ubisoft wasn't allergic to sticking with characters. Aiden may seem generic but he actually has a lot of depth and the story brings up alot of hard questions and themes, especially if you find all the audio logs. Maybe the story be better as a graphic novel cause it does feel like one. But yea the serious tone is something ubisoft could never do today. Just look at the sequels,way to wacky to the point it feels more generic. Legion is only good if I play the whole game as Aiden, its sooo good in that case.

One thing I wish this game was is a little more... I guess "honest" is the word, with it's main character. Aiden is clearly deranged and while the story kinda points that out it also treats him as a heroic figure. And it doesn't help that the realism of the game makes this more noticeable. Also I do like how the game basically implemented social stealth for cars. It genuinely amazes me, it's really cool.

I always say that Watchdogs, the idea, should've been made by another studio because it's been absolutely wasted in Ubisoft's hands. Maybe a Rockstar or Naughtydog or some studio like that, couldve actually kept the theme and story more consistent and like you said honest. Cyberpunk 2077 actually comes pretty close story wise and while I Love Cyberpunk even with its many faults, Watchdogs 1 had alot of things that 2077 shouldve had and at times feels more cyberpunky. Watchdogs feels like it shouldve been a graphic novel series rather than a game imo.

@slavamaksakov2043 2 года назад

Tbh watch dogs 1 was one of my favourite games from my childhood, I liked it way better than wd 2 bcuz of atmosphere and immersion Also Chicago is a way more interesting setting than sf since we already have a lot of Bay Area and California oriented games like driver sf or gta v so it was quite refreshing to have a open world game set in somewhere else

I love WD1. It's better than the other 2. It's slick & just cool. #2 tried to be too hipster for younger people. And Legion is ok, way better after you get Aiden & Wrench in the game. Definitely give #1 a try if you haven't already.

@Lunk42 2 года назад

The invasion mode was fun I would play it normally at times but other times I would frequently pause my game while playing in the open world to see if someone invaded me then I would just race around the city watching them try to catch up from behind lmao. It was fun.

@REAPERGAMINGGR 2 года назад

Played it back when it came out , i had heard all the hate had seen the E3 demos and all but i loved since the day i played it was always fine when it came to graphics , had amazing gameplay ideas and finally a great story , the hate was that everyone was so in love with The Nathan Drakes of the world they couldn't take anything more serious than him , and I'm a playstation fanboy

@tomivalkonen1343 2 года назад

I love so much how they integrated singleplayer experience with multiplayer gameplay. I loved it when it came out and I love it just as much now. I love WD2 and WDL but original Watch Dogs has some unexplainable magical sauce that brings me back every few years. 1v1 hacking is so good.

@maurader 2 года назад

The only thing this game failed on imo is following through. I have written an entire essay on how i would perfect what this game started and how i would implement it in a future watch dogs 4. This franchise can be amazing with enough time and a team of developers with the same love and passion that the fans have.

@stephenjennings555 2 года назад

2 > 1 > Legion The two-weapon limit made the second game more challenging but legion’s control-any-character mechanic made weapon choices too awkward. Vehicle options were better in the 2nd game and the hacking felt smoother. Combat in the first game was fun but you felt way too overpowered at points. Legion’s not a bad game but it needs massive alterations to beat the first two

I liked the story, but ultimately felt like the gameplay, while fun, just kinda felt like every other open-world game at the time. I like that 2 leaned into the hacking aspect more by having your character actually be a part of DedSec.

A little under a month ago I finished the game for the first time and it honestly blew me away. The gun play, the story, the EVERYTHING is just right up my alley.

Aiden decides to live in chicago.

@medafan53 2 года назад

I love the watch dogs franchise, all 3 installments, I cannot count the number of times I've played them, particularly 1, I still remember the excitement the day I went back to the Home Screen of my PS4 and saw the Watch Dogs 2 announcement. I know they're not flawless, but I have fun with them and really, isn't that what we should want out of a game? That we have fun playing it? Perhaps to me the oddest thing is that in Watch Dogs 1 practically every other mission was a car chase, where you had to take down a driver, or keep a car in range while you download a file from them, and then in 2 and Legion, where you can actively hack cars, these missions, where those abilities would really come in handy, were rare if they appeared at all. It's not really a complaint, just somewhat of a missed opportunity.

@jandamz1119 2 года назад

Funny thing about invasions: It will not notify you that you are invaded until the person starts a hack. So get this, I was doing the story mission and got to the abandoned shipping container area (you'll know if you played the story which area I'm talking about) and was gonna get the next mission there. After getting out of the car in basically an empty area, void of any npcs, I panned my camera to look behind me and I noticed a car somehow followed me there. Strange as I haven't seen any NPC drive or even walk to this place, so I slowly went up to it wondering what it was about. After getting somewhat close, all I heard was "Shit" from what sounded like VOIP and the car started to back of to drive away which then prompted the "You are being invaded" pop up to appear. That was honestly the best/confusing moment I've had in this game.

@Idfkwhyy 2 года назад

This is one of my favorite games ever, I remember back when it launched, I was 12 at that time and ever since I saw the first trailer I got immensely hyped for it. So when it launched, I saved money and bought it the same week while I was going back home from school and I vividly remember playing it for the rest of the day and having such a blast! I've played all the watch dogs games, but the first one will always be the best!

Watch_Dogs 1 is definitely the best of the three by far. I love this game so much. I think right now I'm on my 15th or 16th full playthrough of it, I just absolutely love the dark tone and grittiness that this game brings.

@Soliye. 2 года назад

I remember people mainly complaining about there not being enough hacking and the initial Ubisoft visual downgrade. The vehicles were not fun to drive either. But aside from that I really loved the game. The concept was unique enough and the story was fine. I did like Aiden Pearce because at least he felt human. His character made sense in the universe he was in and what his motives were. People trashed on grim games in early 2010s... And personally, I feel like the campaigns hit harder. Halo, TLoU, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Heavy Rain, BF4, Most older CODs, AC, and even NFS (the list goes on). The Crew 1 had a similar atmosphere where things were a bit darker then necessary. But I do like that. See, the problem I have now is I almost can't take any characters seriously in games like these. A game can be gritty and still have it's funny moments. Assassin's Creed use to do it well. Now you look at BF, characters are happy after killing thousands of soldiers. The Crew 2 and Forza Horizon has the same "Be famous and earn followers" thingy going on that takes any possible depth away. Burnout, for example had no real "story", it was meant to be a fun arcade racing game. But if you looked into it it was brutal. The sound design alone of Takedown gives chills. But it's not serious, you jump into traffic and detonate to deal as much damage as possible. The protagonist doesn't have to be an edge lord like Kirito, he can still be funny, dumb or anything. But now it's just bad jokes after bad jokes. Characters feel 2D because their only mood is ADHD and 75% (math checks out) of characters are the same if not for different interests. But what am I saying, nowadays games like Halo have no blood or friendly fire and the enemy's goal is to die a great death.

I really love the Connection to Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag... If I'm remembering correctly the dude in charge of Abstergo Entertainment leaves for a meeting in Chicago where Aiden is hired to kill him. Of course there are also multiple references that show that Watch_Dogs is supposed to be the AC Modern Day that Desmond Miles exists in which is a whole other layer of AWESOME 😁 👍

@MrSuperman957 2 года назад

I remember people hating it for 2 reasons 1) The trailer was misleading. And no matter how good a game, people will get upset if you sell it as more than it is 2) People didn't like the protagonist too much. I still don't get why. I loved the game and it's one of my favourite third person open world games ever.

@JinWBO Год назад

A very underrated gem that I'm glad to see more love for. I found this game pretty good but not amazing on my first playthrough on PS3, but I had a significantly better time when I played it the second time, this time the PS4 version. I knew what to expect and became more familiar with the gameplay. I also learned to appreciate the storyline and characters which I initially found hard to follow but it became engaging on my second playthrough. I never disliked Aiden but I really liked him more as time went on. Really loved it! Oh and I got the Destroyer gun, which might explain a lot.
