Watch Dogs is 10 YEARS OLD... 

I just realised Watch Dogs 1 released on my birthday

The "multiplayer" aspect of the game was cool to me. Another player invades your game and you have to hide from them for a couple minutes in a limited area.

That game was awesome and holds a special place in my heart and the original had a darker tone than the second.

idc what any1 says i love the game

Watch Dogs 1 atmosphere is unmatched to this day! What a game bro!

I feel like Watch Dogs is the closest we'll ever get to a modern day Assassin's Creed. Shame Ubisoft kinda killed the series with Legion even with the AC crossover. I hope they bring it back with the darker tone and more serious characters

in my opinion, Aiden gives that hacker and vigilante vibe I don't think Marcus gave..

still waiting for a true watch dogs 3 :( loved the first game so much!

I definitely loved the Chicago setting. Being able to go to Water Tower Place and seeing the detail in the bricks, and Millennium Park feels like I'm actually there. It was nice to see my hometown represented, not enough of them out there.

This Game was way ahead of its time.

10 years later and Watch Dogs is still my favorite video game of all time with my favorite protagonist of all time. 10/10 from me. It's perfect in every way

The game is just so good.idk why but this game just has something the other 2 watchdog games doesn’t have. This game is just perfect in every way.

Ubi should focus on remaking this game, like making a next-gen update or a E3 version. The plot and the story of the first one is amazing, i remember at the start when confronting the person who killed Aiden's niece, he lets him go, but if you are a person who likes collectibles you can find audios that explain how he regrets killing her, at the end of the campaign you can decide whether to kill him or let him live. Such a good touch

2014 Ubisoft must've done some Blood sacrifice black magic rituals For these games to look This good

Righteous, you & I feel the same way about the first Watch Dogs. I too want another entry in vein of the original.

I literally just replayed Watchdogs, and actually finished Legion the past two weeks. The first is my favorite, love the story, Aiden Pearce, Jordi (who was okay in the second game), Chicago, the fact that game devs still had the audacity to kill off such an important character (as well as make an urban legend not so legendary). Maybe it's just a me thing, but it'd be interesting to see Aiden Pearce as an assassin

I don’t care what people say, WD1 is amazing and holds very well even if compared to today’s games. The only thing it lacks in is graphics, but if it was remastered with today’s graphics it would be perfect

Marketing absolutely ruined WD1, this game is the reason as to why people don't trust demo gameplays anymore.

At this point, I've played Watch Dogs 1 for more than 10 times. It's my favourite Ubisoft game, the writing is just so good

Watch Dogs came bundled with my PS4 when I got it, accorfing to my PS5, it is the game, by a substantial margin, which I have put the most time into, it is still probably my favorite game. I love both 1 and 2, couldn't say which one is my favorite, honestly I can say which one I like least, but I can never really say which one I like best. Legion is... okay, I definately see the argument about the lack of distinct personality by the recruits, but I still enjoy certain aspects of the game, as a barely travelled person, with London being one of the few places I have ever been (and one of about three places that would ever get a game set in it) I enjoy being somewhere in the game whereI've actually been.

The Watch Dogs series had such a promising premise. It was new, had a fresh take on open-world games, introduced an interesting concept of hacking. They had a brilliant idea. Even the idea of Watch Dogs Legion - anybody can be the hero - was a great idea. However, the execution and the handling of the whole series could've and should've been much better. It is sad to see the series in destitution now. I hope the movie will be good and will reinvigorate people's interest in the franchise.

The races in this game remind me of splitsecond

This game is so underrated. The gunplay in WD1 is the best out of the 3 games.

AC unity is almost 10 years old too And from a graphics standpoint (also world design) I would still play that over any AC games released after it

Btw WD1 can be played for free if you have the ps plus extra subscription its has been added 5 or 6 days ago to the cataloge

It's funny U drop this cause I finally decided to give Watch Dog Legion a shot. I am enjoying the Aiden Pearce DLC.

This game is one of my childhood favorites. I still replay it as an adult

Definitely my favorite Watch Dogs game. The story was fantastic. WD2 was also good, a worthy sequel and had some things you could do with the hacks that are among my best memories but the story on the first was the best. Far and away. Although I was enormously excited for Legion, the simple fact is that it's strength was also it's biggest single weakness. How much story can you have when all the characters are interchangable. As far as the way the first has aged, well, I just finished my fourth playthrough. Had a blast as always. Good vid

The first game felt like a book or movie you didn't want to end. It felt like you were playing a spy thriller. There was this addictive voyeurism to it of playing a character capable of taking on the underworld. It puts you in the shoes of a character that feels powerful, but in a grounded way. A good example is one of the first missions where his sister is getting pranked called by some creep. That would scare most people, but as Aiden you have the ability to find this person. I won't spoil, but its sets up the game from there. Every time I stopped a crime taking place, I would always execute the person when they are on the ground. It just makes me feel like I'm dishing out hard and swift justice. The soundtrack is also very underrated and the game can get pretty intense. I remember that mission where you had to track down hacker Defalt. It felt satisfying to catch him bc he seemed like a better hacker than you.

Watch dogs 1 isn't knock off GTA. It's modern day assassin's creed

Watch_dogs + Living City Mod is one of the best game ever.

One of my favorite games ever. Just beat it again recently. Awesome. The Bad Blood DLC is incredible.

Yet to play watchdogs, got it downloading now!

This game has incredible combat and stealth. The perfect John Wick simulator

I really want to see another WD game in the style of 1. A grittier, more violent, game with a more personal story and antihero type character. Even Legion was a pretty good immersive sim style game and had things to like, but the ‘play as anyone’ mechanic and lack of protagonist just did not work. Legion is far better if you have the Season Pass that lets you play as Aiden or Wrench through the whole campaign. Bloodlines was a step in the right direction as well and there is still a lot of potential here. I hope they don’t fully bury the IP and reconsider it’s future.

I really think you can do both tone wise, in bloodlines you have the dark tones, but wrench also brings the upbeat tone swing how they react is really cool. I think a sequel should stay in London, and follow Aiden, and Jackson. Plus wrench (which if he needed it could mean Marcus, Josh, sitara and even t-bone. Plus they could set up some properly cannon dedsec characters

the first games i got with my first gaming computer (which was a laptop) were Watch_Dogs and AC: Unity, which came as a two-pack. my love for these games may be due in large part to nostalgia, but i really do adore them. people say that Aidan's boring but he's just not over-the-top (same with Connor). as someone whose expressions of emotion are also fairly muted, i always found him pretty compelling. the story and characters are all great, just again muted in comparison to what people seem to like. i've never been to the US, but Watch_Dogs' Chicago is familiar to me as someone who grew in Northern England: outwardly drab, while teeming with life. i think that, in general, it's a fairly grounded game, and that that seems to have been a point against it. the characters aren't all incredibly loud and obnoxious; the story is largely focused on one man and how his very personal quest for revenge hurts the people he loves; and the city isn't populated entirely by hysterical stereotypes. i love the whimsy of Watch_Dogs 2 and i definitely find the concept of its story more interesting, but a story about a hacktivist group was never going to be done properly in a AAA game by a major studio and it came out toothless. then they doubled down on the "aesthetically political but practically toothless" idea with Legion while stripping it of 2's whimsy to leave a disappointing mess with few redeeming features

Got this game from my friend for the ps4, cant wait to play it next week when i get my ps4🎉

Thanks for making me feel like that one Matt Daemon gif from Saving Private Ryan. I'll still stand by and say that Watch_Dogs was my favorite game. Obviously, preference changes over the years. But I still look back on it fondly.

I'm playing through WD1 again right now, with a graphics mod added. It's still an amazing game :D

Fun Fact Shares the universe with Assassin's Creed 4

I just started it. Ive owned it for years

This game was A masterpiece

I still enjoy playing the games

I remember my friend introduced me to this game back in 2015 and as a GTA player I got into it pretty quickly, surely the optimization for average PC at that time wasn't great, started replaying this game on Xbox One X last year and I was still having a blast

Aiden Pierce is my favorite gaming Character beacuse he's Batman.

i played through this game 5 times.

I recently picked up Watch Dogs on a steam sale, really cheap, playing through it again at the moment. I originally played it on the Ps3 when it came out.

They need to make a vr game of watch dog

Wait, you’re from Chicago too?!

This game was truly ahead of its time. Still one of the greatest story modes in video game history

One of the best games I've ever played

I liked almost everything about this game except for the driving. I also liked how it tied into Assassin’s Creed Universe despite them saying it was only Easter Eggs.

Watch Dogs 1 with Aiden Pierce is it for me. I don't know why they didn't continue with Aiden Pierce.

I had the best memories playing this game with my friends

I heard Ubisoft is in early development for Watch dogs 4 set in Boston with a dark setting.

I'm playing it for the first time rn since it was $1 on steam like two weeks ago & I've been fucking loving it so far. l'm glad i decided to go with the first one cus the whole series was on sale but I've only ever heard negative things about the other two. just as you said the tone, storytelling, and the sandbox hacking mechanics are things you just simply don't get in games nowadays.

OMG Just played one month ago and once again felt like kid and really loved the first one!

WD 1 and 2 are awesome! Among my favorite games. They're not superhero games, but i sure feel like some kind of superhero when i play it.

Also with "Living City" mod installed, this game is surely much better in terms of replayability

i think it time to play this game again

U can play Watch Dogs 3 as Aden if u get the season pass.

Can you make a video of u playing the full Jack The Ripper DLC?

Video request: rank all assassin's creed games by which one is your favourite

so your saying i was playing this game as a 9 year old 10 years ago already time flies yall love your family and most importantly yourselfs

Maybe like 2 months ago i bought watchdogs on instant gaming for something like 5 dollars and I DEVOURED everything they served me. It was so good I even made my friend buy it XD, but right after finishing wd 1 I bought wd 2, which I still haven´t finished. Wd1 just had its athmosphere, the characters, the animations (I even started training with and telescopic baton, not knowing that its NOT a silent weapon, you literally have to smash in the ground with the top of it, not just collapse it by hand like Aiden does), and mostly, THE BLACKOUTS. Such a cool feature, but I think Ubisoft won´t be able to make a wd game as good as the original. But one of my favorites games surley.

Great video I agree with what you say here

I played this game FIVE times in a row when it came out.

Hey did you read and what do you think of AC books?

Hope they’ll make a remastered

Best setting and game out of the series IMO! Would be cool to have a other setting like Chicago in another Watchdogs. Maybe NY or some city similar

I kinda love this game most especially coz its connected to assassin's Creed games . .

I’m replaying this game now because it’s the 10 year anniversary and with Ubisoft basically confirming that watch dogs is not profitable enough to continue, it’s almost warranted imo

I was wondering when you will make a video on watch dogs, it is one of my favourite games 😢

2014 was the last amazing Ubisoft year to me. They still had great Games that i love after that. But they where on a roll bringing out banger after banger from 2007 to 2014.

Honestly my favorite game I played it so much it's the first game I ever 100%

Watch dogs 1 and 2 were awesome with great characters. Legion only had a good dlc with aiden and wrench tbh

1 is dark and gritty vs 2 is bright and sunny and clean

Still one of my favourite games ever, hard to believe Ubisoft would drop the ball on such a unique concept... you get a fix for so many things all at once, stealth, combat, the hacking element, side challenges, the digital trips, driving missions, all in a dark urban fantasy setting that is relatable because it's grounded in reality. The characters are also so fleshed out, and the story pulls you in. They were bold to tackle heavy subjcts like organised crime and human trafficking and still did in in a way that isn't exploitative or vapid, it makes you feel something when you face these things in the game knowing they're part of our reality. Another thing I love is the vigilantism aspect, personally I feel better slaying criminals than playing as one, and as much as I love GTA it kind of glamourises crime, whereas WD1 looks at it the way we usually do IRL.

I haven't played it actually! I never felt interested in Watch Dogs, but then my sister made me play Legion when I was at her place and I had SO much fun, so I immediately told my boyfriend about it and he ordered it for me on Black Friday, which was super nice of him and then we played it for soooo many hours, it's a HUGE game and we played it for weeks whilst having covid (rip, my dad had to take care of us - two fully grown adults, during those weeks...) and it's a huge part of 2020 for me, that game made a huge impact on me. So I just bought Watch Dogs 2 actually! It's fun, I'm definitely enjoying it, but I really loved how Legion was made, every part of that story as well. Watch Dogs OG looks really cool as well, I do hate family drama though and have had enough of both that and grief so that part is a bit off-putting, unfortunately, because the main character himself seems great.

I really enjoyed playing it was amazing i don't mind if people say it bad i enjoyed hacking into stuff and it was really funny doing it to NPCs and how they reacted

I do believe that despite none of the protagonists of Legion (apart from Aiden and Wrench) having a true set-apart personality, they did have 'culture', so to speak. Many characters come from different area's or ethnicities, and this makes it so dialogue in cutscenes is different depending on your character's 'background'. The Birmingham male voice will have a different way to say "Alright, I'm on it", than the Irish guy. There were times when it made certain cutscenes funny, because you already played the game, and a certain mission with one character, and are replaying it with another, and then they say something unexpected. In a sense, it does add some semblance of personality, but like I said, in a more 'cultural' way. There is something, however, that the Bloodlines expansion showed, which is that the game's setting is a pretty good one for a Watch Dogs game. I've said before that I felt that Legion went back to the dark and gritty origins of the franchise, with a dystopian 2030, where we almost live in a cyberpunk/biopunk society, with shady corporations running the society itself, and corrupt members of government, etc. The DLC proves that if you can manage to create one (or two) single lense through which to focus the experience of this world, and actually making a way to connect the character(s) to the world and story in a personal manner, it would have worked. Like MasterAssassin said, it really should have been a game about Aiden. I'm just imagining if they had made the game exactly as it is, but simply made Aiden the protagonist, with Bloodlines being the beginning of the game, then flowing over to 6 months later in the main story, where you experience it from the perspective of Aiden Pearce trying to piece everything together.

I love watchdogs one in fact that's the first watchdogs game I've ever played

Hey please make a video on Assassin's creed 3 stealth run

I don't care what anyone says, I LOVE the first Watch Dogs the most. It feels so nostalgic, and I hope they go back to that direction

Such a great game, basically the closest thing to a John Wick simulator ever made.

Loved Watch Dogs 1 and 2. Theres no other game of its kind ;Hacking and stealth in it was fun. Really hope they keep the series going.

It's apart of the ps plus library right now.

damn, i barely knew for my life when it got out

Dude watchdogs 1 and 2 both sold 10 million copies i believe. Also i went back and beat watch dogs legion and that game was good as well. It had a terrible launch and it never recovered. People simply never gave it a chance. Can't be too upset many games suffer the same fate.

Watch Dogs 1 is really good because of its dark setting. It’s the closest game to being similar to 2008’s GTA 4 so it needs to be cut some slack. But Watch Dogs 2 has really fun gameplay and Watch Dogs Legion may have the worst story out of the trilogy but it does have the best combat and customization and some extremely fun gameplay when playing with friends in Online.

My fifth favorite game. It's actually a great realistic superhero game if you play it like that (which I always do). It's a shame that both of the sequels were atrocious, but this game will always be one of my favorites. I love driving the Scafati GT (Lamborgini Aventador) around and the gun selection is great.

Amazing game, didn't liked the DLC though. Never played Watch_Dogs 2 because I like the darker tone as well

I've just finished the game today (only focused on the campaign), the story is pretty good, the gameplay is suprisignly good, but the missions can be annoying and repetitive, go here, hack this, elimite/escape enemies, repeat.

Started playing watch dogs 1 just a week ago and cursing myself for not playing it earlier❤

I really liked the original. Being in my 30's now might have something to do with it, but I related to Aiden more than other characters. Also, I really dug the hybrid singleplayer/multiplayer thing where someone could "invade" your session and you had to scramble to find them. The City also had a charm to it, it's hard to explain but it just had more character and a stronger vibe. I did buy and play Watch Dogs 2 on launch, and while IRL I love the geography of San Fran (outside their current issues), the in-game representation felt empty and didn't have the same charm as the Chicago map. Also sometimes in Watch Dogs 2 it felt like I was playing through what I imagine a Gen Z'er or emotionally-stunted Millennials fantasy would be. Just seemed corny sometimes.

My Dream game: WATCH_DOGS RESURGENCE IMAGINE GETTING THIS CONCEPT INTO AN ACTUAL GAME LIKE THAT WOULD BE SO SICK!!! Sadly I can only dream of ever having one, and if there is a chance of getting so it'll probably depend if the WATCH_DOGS movie would be praised by people or not and even for that it still has a very small chance of happening of course. It's just a thought of me to share it since it really is my dream game.

After 10 years later, Watch Dogs 1 is still a masterpiece. I like hacking random NPCs to steal their money, listen their conversations and see their text messages. I would do all day and I never get tired. Watch Dogs 2 is a good game, but not a masterpiece as Watch Dogs 1. But it's still fun. Watch Dogs Legion, well it's kinda a dumpster... Watch Dogs 1 is still fun than Watch Dogs 2 and Watch Dogs Legion tho. It's crazy that the old games like Watch Dogs 1 has more content than other games lol. We don't need new updates in Watch Dogs 1, it's still fun even without updates... Maybe if Ubisoft can make Watch Dogs 1 Remake or something it would be interesting.

I love this game more than GTA.Of course I was also unaware of all the controversies.But the game in itself should be a big step up and game changer for Ubisoft Studio.Unfortunatly it did not end well.I love this game then and now.I also recommend this game for all the gamers for it's great story and gameplay.Thank you Ubisoft.

So much hate for this game. Still felt this was a solid game and needed a proper sequel after WD 2
